@jasonllevin Oh, and no immunity for these rules. Any state or federal prosecutor can submit them to a grand jury for indictment. If they are convicted, they are removed from office, go to jail, and are banned from all public office forever. There is no statute of limitations.
@jasonllevin Elected federal officials and the cabinet should be banned from any form of income beside their salary.
They must divest themselves of all business ventures and cannot trade stocks while in office.
They get paid for a year after leaving, the stock rules apply during that time.
@Matt_Pinner Because we are just smart enough to understand nuclear power but too stupid to use it for energy, preferring it for bombs instead.
That and we are panicky, trigger happy, and have a tendency to hate what isnโt like us.
@carlpeachey8@GarysLiquors@WilliamShatner My least favorite part for sure. I really liked how Enterprise and DS9 introduced grounded threats based on internally consistent rules.
It made it feel real. Hoping that whatever comes next will take a page from that book, at least as far as the science stuff goes.
@carlpeachey8@GarysLiquors@WilliamShatner Thank goodness you didnโt say something about how itโs โwokeโ. That old chestnut is pretty tired. Frankly, it doesnโt leverage any real criticism of the shows.
As far as lore breaking I think Discovery was the worst. They played fast and loose with the science.
@icyveins Honestly, the story has been fine. I wish it was a bit more filled out.
I do think they are doing MUCH better with the lore beats. Lots of fun stuff getting teed up.
Time will tell if they do something good with it.
@SenRonJohnson@realDonaldTrump Let me be clear. ALL OF THEM SHOULD HAVE GONE TO CONGRESS!!!
One of your main jobs is to keep presidential power in check.
DO YOUR JOB.
Oh wait, you are in congress. You think your job is to fight the other guys, not help people.
Again, DO YOUR JOB, FOR US!!!
@the_culturist_ Not sure what we are celebrating here. Seems like nothing? Trumps ego? Iโm confused.
That said, I 100% behind this IF the whole thing is less than three feet tall and placed just outside a DC public bathroom.
The plaque should read, โ10/10 would poop again.โ
@carlpeachey8@GarysLiquors@WilliamShatner With Discovery, the spore drive, the burn, and the constant need to have a world ending, epic battle with whateverโฆ the plots got a bit out of hand.
I personally found Academy a bit more grounded, but thatโs just me.
