Sheesh.... She has a degree in law and thought THOSE were good arguments to defend her actions. She's an idiot and I kind of wonder HOW she ever ended up getting a job as a prosecutor in the first place.

I say go with ranked choice voting for the speaker, personally.

They'll forget it even exists until some accountant notices that resources are still being allocated to it and they'll shut it down.

The stupid goes both ways, unfortunately..... What I wonder is how the rather large group who are both antisemitic and anti-Muslim decide which side to support.

Look again, they are. It's just not quite as noticeable as the other items.

The Israelis and the Palestinians BOTH deserve better leadership.... You don't fight atrocities by committing more atrocities. Does the current far right party in charge in Israel want to create another generation of Muslim extremists because painting every Palestinian as a Hamas collaborator...

I really do hate that people think that in order to support Palestinians one must also support Hamas. One can be critical of how Palestinians have been treated by the Israeli state while still seeing Hamas a barbarous organization that does WAY more harm to the Palestinians than it helps...

May have considered it, but thought it was too low a possibility or knew that the tech in it's current state wouldn't be able to offer much protection in such a scenario anyway. Not sure what Hamas thinks the end-goal would be by doing this. Giving Israelis an excuse to crack down on...

It wasn't even an ally, really. It was an insanely rich person who happens to be a private citizen of a country we have an alliance with. That makes it even worse.

Musk just keeps doing stuff like that. The rescue diver incident from a few years ago comes to mind.

Keep in mind the shows treatment of women was considered progressive for the time. We have, as a society, improved in that regard since the mid-to-late 60s, thankfully. As for Shatner's speech cadence, it's played up significantly for humor in the parodies and jokes.

They could always do a comedy movie where Weyoun and Brunt go on a series of misadventures after getting knocked into the 22nd Century during a transporter accident.

Granted, I'm not so sure how effective removing party affiliation would be from the ballots given the current environment, but everything else I totally agree with. Also have friggin spending limits on campaigns. Don't let people with huge bankrolls buy up all the airtime.(that would require...

Well, the original Twitter investors got some money out of him, so we know it's possible. Just gotta find the right angle.

Eh the whole pay for access to certain sites was always a worst case scenario. Granted ISPs would LOVE to be able to do that, but the PR nightmare that would result keeps them from doing it. The reality is they abuse the lack of net neutrality in a more subtle way. Comcast likes to throttle...
