To save others a click:
5 appointed by George W Bush (including the chief), 4 by Donald Trump, 1 by George H W Bush, and 1 by Barack Obama.
GOP has been losing popular opinion for years, but they've been stacking the courts every chance they get, and now they are reaping their rewards. Fascism by judicial capture.
I agree, but we'd have to restructure how the House does business.
The current count of Representatives is 435. If we were to go back to old ratios at 30k, we'd have 11,300 Representatives.
We'd have to break it up into smaller, constituent houses, or something.
Yeah, imagine a small rural town trying to start their own car factory today.
"Oh, it's going to cost $100 Million? Well shit..."
It's weird, he doesn't really look like a Tellarite, but he doesn't really look like a Talaxian, either.
I will concede he looks more like a Talaxian than a Tellarite, but still, very different.
I don't like the implication. Riker always respected in consent.
The wizard died doing what he loved...
Being covered in piss.
Yeah, single-use plastics make sense in a medical setting. They have the added value of being sterile where you really need it.
Outside of that setting, it's just a convenience that is costing the environment.
I thought we had voted to end it. Did I dream that?
Googling it, it looks like it never got all the way through the legislature. Ugh...
Yeah, as much as I actually loved those movies (they were the gateway drug that got me back into Star Trek after only watching random episodes on syndication), I think their window of relevance has passed. Making another one would be pointless, unless maybe if it was some crossover with Strange New Worlds. But I imagine that would confuse general audiences horribly.
Yeah, in-universe, Starfleet seems to have a real nepotism problem.
That's the great thing about lifetime appointments: they don't have to care about their opponents at all (up until the point of violence).
