So, was he arrested for “political theater”?

It really seems like he doesn’t understand what a “defense alliance” is meant to accomplish.

JFC. These articles are absolute garbage.

“Uncharted territory” in this case, is Trump blatantly violating the Constitution…by the letter, as well as in spirit. The fact that the media is still breathlessly wondering if this crosses a line or not, tells you exactly which side of that line they are on.

There is no ambiguity here, so stop acting like it’s still a question. He is openly breaking the law, and violating people’s Constitutional rights. Pretending that he isn’t, is pure gaslighting.

That was my 1st thought. “Let the owners take responsibility for them” sounds an awful lot like indentured servitude. If at any point, their boss could decide to simply rescind that protection and have them deported, then they’re basically trapped.

Well, yeah. Saying anything contrary to Israel’s declared narrative, would cost them all that AIPAC money…and AIPAC would most likely fund a primary challenger to run against them.

Just look at what happened to Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush.

AKA…the “New and Improved Wheel”. It’s all about the marketing.

It’s in the bushes behind the greenhouse.

Pakistan is playing some 5-D chess, here. Butter up the raging narcissist by flattering his ego, in the hopes that he backs down on Iran or risks losing his Nobel prize nomination.

Smart. He actually might fall for it.

Yeah, but in “Arena” there was nothing about using humans as incubators / hosts. That’s the part they added in, to make them more “monster-like”. Without that, their motivation is not much different than our own. With that, they are much more terrifying and alien.

To be fair, the old Gorn rationale for attacking the colony was, “You’re in our territory, and we assumed you had hostile intent”…while the SNW rationale is, “We lay eggs in your body, so our young have something to eat when they hatch”.

That’s a significant difference in character motivation.

It’s only weird until you realize they aren’t talking about your “personal” security. They couldn’t care less about you.

Do these come with carbide tips?

The Venn diagram of progressive policy and popular policy is basically a single circle…

…as long as you don’t call it “Socialism”.

“The Arena” is originally the first meeting between the Federation and the Gorn, with Kirk and the Gorn captain fighting one-on-one.

But, in SNW, the Gorn have already been encountered, although little is known about them yet, due to the fact that they leave no survivors and seem to make no effort to communicate.

The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species, as well as adding in a lot of new details that were never part of the original concept.

The driver fits in the trunk.

smh.

Lol! “Screw you, peasants! Get back to work!” /s

This is the entire AI problem, in a nutshell.

Exactly. Just like they promised ten years ago, and then never delivered. Now we’re moving in the opposite direction.

Fuck the Liberals. We gave them a win, and the first thing they do is fuck us over. Again.

…and then?
