Yes, thanks Stephanie. I was on my phone and find it tricky posting links.

It’s hilarious (and I apologise for taking out some emotion on you, you were not the target)

Apparently nearly eight tickets have now been sold in the UK for this film

I'm not going to fact check this

Trigger warning for SA, but read this:

While some of the accusations there seem pretty out there, quite a few others do not. Disturbing nonetheless.

At least one was filed under oath. And subject to perjury laws.

And seemingly supporting a different victim's comment.

Also there's an email that again spoilerd for possible triggers.

This is not a victim, so why is his(?) name redacted?

Also, again, the DOJ failed to properly redact the names of some victims.

Nice sarcastic review from New York

An astonishingly worded judgement in the case of the 5 year old and his dad abducted off the street by ICE

An Australian journalist's take

Melania: 0.5/5 stars. A pointless film that achieves nothing, insults the person it is trying to celebrate, and bores you while doing it. I considered giving it zero.

Shame about the date, really

I can understand why the judge writes like that. But it saddens me that one should yield to the temptation to do so, in what is really quite an important ruling.

The judge can just make a clear and plain judicial ruling, firmly and comprehensively based in law. And as such it would be a devastating ruling. People will be able to read what it says, without the need for the judiciary to degrade itself in this way, and so visibly take sides.

Unfortunately it is the US judiciary increasingly takes sides, all the way to the top. The institutions facilitate it, and it is done quite shamelessly these days. I think the rest of the judiciary has the opportunity to show them how to do it properly, rather than yielding to the temptation to join the political battle so transparently. But the US system is increasingly broken, fixing it requires cooperation, and on most things cooperation is impossible to obtain.

Restating the fundamental principles on which the law and existence of the government and courts is based is not taking sides. It's restating the underlying source of the authority claimed by the government to do anything.

I believe this is a downloaded copy of the document (via a search for << EFTA01660679.pdf >> )

These seem to be 'non credible' and 'not able to re-contact' reports, so may have been removed as not meeting the required standard of evidence.

On the other hand, it's a chance for the MAGA faithful to do their bit, signal their virtue, and pretend the movie isn't a total flop by buying a ticket. So I expect there will be places where it gets a crowd at first, and their reviews will gush like a Trump cabinet meeting trying to outdo each other's flattery.

There's pretty good evidence that there's bots buying tickets for it - exactly the same pattern of seats sold in different showings and in different theaters with the same seating plan. And buying up the worst seats first.
