Our incompetent fuck of a president might lead us to war with Iran.

Oh they will. The liberals must pay for what Trump did.

Quite a few, starting with, "how is that relevant?"

Just because someone is the moral equivalent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch does not inherently mean that they are also the intellectual equivalent of the same.

"Feature Phone" suggests that this was from the late 1900s, or early 2000. Storage limits at the time were impractical.

True enough. Used to be, we were the only game in town, and we knew it.

Our smarter presidents tried to make sure we remained the best option, or at least a good option. Trump, as you have noted, makes is the worst option.

Does anyone in Washington understand that a "deal" generally includes giving the other guy something they want, not just demanding things that you want?

No, if warp speed has to be maintained, then when it stops being maintained, you stop moving at warp. This is very well outlined in the show. It doesn't work with our understanding of, well, anything, but that's covered under "we have no meaningful understanding of FTL."

You're trying to impose real world physics on something that has no real world analogue.

We have no meaningful understanding of how FTL works. It is presented to us as an active process, something that must be maintained, unlike normal space velocity.

But, again, no meaningful understanding.

Have you seen his competition?

They might as well. I can't avoid buying EA games any harder than I already do.

That's kind of what I mean by "sane leadership." Leaders that know they are there to serve the people, and that they will be removed if they don't.

Of course, that requires sane voters, too.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We can do that after we get rid of Trump. If we let Trump do it now, he will turn it into a circus, gain some political cover from it, and we will never know for sure who actually did what.

Once we have sane leadership again, then we can do it properly.
