/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Sounds like he's talking about a specific implementation of electro-mangets, and giving his concerns that electronic systems applied to elevators in the Navy, could be vulnerable to water damage as compared to mechanically engineered system.

...so this obviously means he's fit and sane to implement The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a plan to "be a dictator only on day one" by firing any democratic party supporting liberals across all departments of the public services, and installing Republican party friendly employees in those positions instead. This would represent a level of political persecution never seen before in the history of American democracy, and possibly the end of American democracy.

It's what Clarence Thomas calls the dismantling of the "Administrative State" and has been a life long goal of his. Ergo it's likely the Supreme Court would allow this behaviour as part of "Unitary Executive Theory".

I say all this because it's easy to make Trump and MAGA look stupid. They, like many fascist movements appeal to a very simplistic base of people - but at the upper eschelons they do have a plan, and do have major peices in place.

Do not under estimate them.

In typical Trump fashion he probably couldn't comprehend anything about the advanced weapon elevators testing and delays. Or the electromagnetic catapult system that's pretty flipping cool.

I'm sure some wasted their time telling him why Ford was behind and over budget for technical reasons. And then bingo bango you got retarded dementia boy word salad.

I think he just saw magnets being dropped in a glass of hot water and temporarily demagnetize, but missed or forgot the hot water part.
