Honestly, at that point, I think you let him have it.

If this isn’t a warcrime, it probably should be. Depriving civilians of water is in no way proportionate to the loss of a single aircraft with no fatalities.

What odds are they offering?

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don’t want to use it.

But he tries not to, so that’s worth a few points.

Loved that line so much.

But it wasn’t entirely true, was it?

You make some good points, but I don’t want discipline out of her. She was a good captain, particularly for an environment that is supposed to produce Starfleet Officers.

She just needs some decorum.

My only issue with Academy was the presence of a captain who refused to act like an officer. Stand up straight, put on your boots, sit in the chair like a normal human.

Other than that, I loved it.

No, that’s just me being stupid.

This sounds like the first chapter of 1986.

Blind squirrel…

Huh. I guess even Trump can’t be wrong all the time.

I really liked the episode with him and the Cardassian lad. The two of them bonding over Keiko’s over-enthusiastic cultural dishes was wonderful.

And I’d like to think that it softened him on Cardassians, a bit.

No-one well ask, because we know the answer. It was cheaper to let them do it.

Sure they will.

Then why are price so high?

You are either answering the wrong question, or are defining a lie based on some criteria I don’t recognize.

Telling a Nazi there are no Jews in my basement is a lie. The only way it’s not a lie is if there are, in fact, no Jews in my basement. But it is not wrong to lie to a Nazi.

They were illegal when they got here, so they are still illegal. They have to go back to their own country, and re-enter the US properly.

Of course, when they get there and find out their own country is now a US state, and they can’t enter it, there may be some confusion.

Let me be clear. I fully support the assassination of Donald Trump, by an American citizen. I lack the skills to do it myself, and I’m not interested in losing my life to a ineffective gesture, or I’d do it myself.

My reasoning is simply that he is not going to live long enough to be tried and imprisoned for this, and if he dies of natural causes, then he will never have paid any price, suffered any consequence, or been in any meaningful way censured for all the harm he has done to the world. Only his death at the hands of an American Citizen can go any distance at all towards correcting that.

If he is allowed to go without even a slap on the wrist, then future generations can only assume that we, all of us, approved of his behavior.

The word “tick” is very important here.
