I’m pretty sure that if he publicly says he’s going to disobey orders, that’s grounds for removal, even under a sane president. (Although a sane president might not choose to remove him)

Go swimming.

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.

Then why are price so high?

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.

They are focusing on issues they have universal condemnation, and are undeniably the responsibility of the current regime.

If you try to rally around big picture issues, you better be sure everyone seems the same big picture, and agrees on what should be done and how to do it and who should do it.

There are people who think the war in Iran is gong great. There are those that think it’s going poorly, but that we can and should win. There are those that recognize it’s a disaster, but believe that it was necessary, or at least desirable to take action against Iran, just not like this.

But everyone hates high gas prices.

It means I think everyone else is an asshole.

I might be too, but I don’t think I am.

I guess he thinks Trump is about to crash and burn.

At least I understand the words in the explanation.

But who the duck dislike being called a good boy?

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

That’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Our way of life sucks.

Seems an odd thing to do. I rather liked it.

Amen. The web page will be fine.

The web page will be fine.

Is this a late April fools joke?

Of course it will. The chart of everything gets passed on to the consumer. Any concept of the business cutting back on profits or growth because of troubling times is behind us.

Capitalism has metastasized.

Academy has the best elements of every single series to date.

Objection. I’ve seen very little professional behavior from anyone except maybe the Doctor and the Commandant, and of course Admiral Uncle. Some leeway can be granted, given the setting, but it’s something I very much miss from the TNG era.

Unless you’re a MAGA influencer. Then you get evacuated.

I mean, as long as you don’t lose the stick, the rest of it is just frozen water. Uncomfortable, certainly, but I’d be amazed if you could make it to the ER before it melts.
