Did you hurt yourself making that leap of logic there, Sparky?

Paramount has been trying to get bought out by Skydance, so they’ve been cutting costs to make themselves look more attractive. They probably believe that the long term earning potential of the Star Trek property is in the SNW brand and not LD. I personally suspect that when SNW is over we’ll see a rebooted TOS using the lore foundation SNW has laid. (Also I could be misremembering, but wasn’t Balance of Terror supposed to have been the first time the Federation interacted with the Romulans in a long time? That would also be a contradiction created by SNW.)
It will be forever hilarious to me just how the end of GoT wiped it from our collective consciousness. There were so many memes and references for years- Hodor, MUH KWEEN, Da king in da norf, R+L=J, “Winter is coming!”- and the second the last episode aired it just fucking vanished.
To your point though, I would argue that had the last season not happened, we would think of GoT as a great show that ended poorly due to the decline in quality for the last couple of seasons.
Isn’t it amazing that the people advocating for a “STricT mERITocrACY” conspicuously ignore their meritocracy is very monochromatic?
Running a red light in the middle of nowhere with no traffic is a victimless crime.
Intentionally causing additional monetary damages on someone is not. Even if the cardholders didn’t have to pay for his fraud, somebody has to.
Trump got too many votes in 2016, and even more than that in 2020, and you’re surprised at how uninformed American voters are?
Even Republicans
Yeah, but they mean all that for other people, not me!
…hey, what’s that leopard staring at me for?
My dude, nobody denies that a wartime special military operation economy is good in the short term.
The problem is, you’re spending money on things you’re going to blow up instead of spending on things that will generate a positive ROI.
You do have a choice. You can just lay there and take it. You know, like that asshole from the Heritage Foundation wants you to do.
You’re not being targeted for your political beliefs, you fucking traitor. You’re being targeted because you acted on those beliefs.
Have I been living with Joey too long, or did that actually make sense?
Option C: donate shitloads of cash to Trump’s legal defense slush fund re-election campaign, then if he wins get him to tell the DoJ to drop the case as an “official act” of the Presidency.
The GA case, Fani Willis’ conduct not withstanding, will likely be thrown out on the basis that Trump calling the GA SoS was an “official act”. The contents of the call, criminal as it is, will likely be deemed untouchable since it happened while he was committing an official act.
No, what I expect to see is the judge ruling that re-election is not (and in line with previous case law, never has been) one of the core or official duties of the President and therefore any acts he undertook in the furtherance of that aren’t immune from prosecution.
And that’s when Roberts will overthrow it, because they can’t have their newly minted king missing his tee time rotting in a Georgia prison.
My dude, you’re acting like Monday’s decision didn’t happen.
SCOTUS delineated presidential immunity into three situations:
Unofficial acts- no immunity.
Official acts- presumed immunity. However, no official acts can be used to determine the legality or official-ness of an act.
Constitutionally delegated exercises of authority- total immunity.
In other words, laws are subordinate to Presidential exercises of Constitutional authority. Under the decision rendered by SCOTUS on Monday, as the President is the Commander in Chief of the military, any order he gives the military he would have total immunity for and thus wouldn’t be “illegal” as such. Also, because the pardon power is listed in the Constitution, there’s no oversight for it either.
So yes, the President could absolutely order the military to assassinate a citizen with the promise of pardoning them, and there’s literally no recourse anyone could take.
But that’s not all. They also ruled that you can’t use official acts in the process of determining what wasn’t an official act. If Biden ordered the military to assassinate Trump, the fact that the President is Constitutionally the head of the military and that the military must obey orders from the President couldn’t be used as evidence that he gave an illegal order.
This situation is fucked up.
This would be more widespread and far worse.
Conservatives have poisoned the soapbox with propaganda and outright lies.
They’ve diluted the ballot box with electoral politics and various tactics of disenfranchisement.
They’ve completely corrupted the jury box with unqualified ideologues.
How does America survive this without resorting to the last box? All because a group of assholes who have more than they could ever need want even more than that.
Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?
He’s wrong either way.
Assuming the ones who are left would decide based on what’s good for the country, or what’s good for their principles.
I too would think that, had I just woken up from a coma and not known about the four press secretaries under Trump.
Edit: oh wait, the felonious traitor had five:
The Mooch, Spicer, Sarah “FuckTheCountry” Sanders, Stephanie “Never gave one press conference” Grisham and Kayleigh “My cross necklace proves how KKKhristian I am” McEnany.
