You know, if I'd actively undermined American foreign interests and provided aid to a hostile foreign power, I'd avoid discussing the word "treason."

The only downside (at least for the GOP) is that he's too much of a narcissist to just do what they tell him to. He bypassed party leadership to appeal to their base, and now he's got the entire party by the short hairs.

I totally believe that he doesn't really know anything about Project 2025. I also totally believe that he'll appoint a bunch of people who want to implement every part of it to major positions, so it won't matter.

Trump and the GOP have been united since January 2017, if not since he became their 2016 candidate. The closest they came to breaking was January 7th, 2021, and even then it was only for a brief period.

Why do some people find this so difficult to grasp? Taking these kinds of accusations seriously doesn't mean unquestioningly accepting them as true whenever they're made. Wanting confirmation from another source isn't an unreasonable request.

It's always weird to me how these types are so openly antisemitic, yet *also* engage in Holocaust denial. "The Holocaust didn't happen, but if it did, it would have been a good thing." Pick a lane, assholes.

Personally, I'd take the "sadism" bit a little further. I sincerely believe that Donald Trump derives no small amount of pleasure from seeing other people - especially those he considers his enemies - in pain. I think he would have liked to see some people being lynched on Jan 6.

I thought Boimler's transporter clone stay aboard the Titan, and original Boimler got put back on the Cerritos.

Yeah, but Scotty was a genius, so yeah. A better example might be the episode where Picard, Keiko, Guinan, and Ro all got turned into kids.

Reminder: in 2000 "Brooks Brothers Riot," a bunch of Republican staffers forced their way into the room where Florida election canvassers were recounting votes. Their actions forced the recount to end. Not only did those responsible *not* face consequences for this, many were *actively rewarded.*

I believe JFK said something about this kind of situation. Though he referred to it as "peaceful revolution" at the time. Still, I think the point stands.

It's *really* obnoxious when it's coming from someone like Mike Johnson, who was an *active participant* in planning Trump's coup attempt. Like, of all the people who shouldn't be listened to when it comes to this...

Obama was under the impression that he could shame McConnell into letting him do his job. He failed to understand that Republicans have worked for decades to insulate themselves from consequences, so they're free to do as they please, and damn the rules.

Well, it's not like he came out of nowhere. The man's published several books pushing his claims. So, in terms of entertainment, it was a good call. Good, accurate, and not racist, though? Not so much.

True. And in at least one occasion, the decision to do so has backfired in the long run.
