*sigh* No, I try very hard to forget Chakotay’s baby.

Well... TNG and ENT did this. But the others did not.

“a pretty, messy piece of nonsense with some decent performances and occasionally unexpected story twists... The deaths existed solely to create an illusion of plot momentum in a serialized story that, so far at least, has no goddamn point at all...

“would allow health professionals to refuse... to perform abortions based on religious or moral grounds.” 

Haley is referring to the fact that Congress passed a law 20 years ago demanding the embassy be moved, has passed resolutions periodically ever since requesting that the embassy be moved (including as recently as a few months ago), and that the American people have generally approved of the move in past polling. (It…

*sigh* As a conservative, I’ve spent years being annoyed by comments like this (ugh, so sanctimonious, and thanks for throwing the rest of your party under the bus, I’ll be sure to have your back too next time)... but in the post-Trump, post-Moore world all I can do is nod and agree.

If only we’d nominated somebody…

Hi! Former Republican from Minnesota here.

It should!

The Eastern Church celebrates Epiphany rather than Christmas. Doesn’t quite get you the end-of-January date you’re looking for, but it’s substantial progress.

I’m sorry; where does it say in your state or federal constitution that the government has a responsibility “to protect its citizens from themselves”?

Likely just the White House would/will be enough. There are plenty of hills the GOP will want to die on in a Kamala Harris administration; FCC appointees are not one of them.

It’s a kind of scrapbook used by Scientologists.

Honestly, it’s been pretty steady. Climbing out of the canyon that was the pilot, it appears to be on a good par.

Calling The Orville “choppy” and “inadvisable”? Tough but fair.

People wanted cheaper flights.

It needs 60 votes to get out of the Senate, so, if it even GETS to Susan Collins, it means the likes of Tammy Baldwin and Sherrod Brown already support it. And they won’t, so this bill is dead before it’s even written. Killed before it was born, you might say. There’s probably a word for that...

Maybe ya’ll should put the right to an abortion in the Constitution expressly, through the democratic process, like they did with the right to bear arms. “Finding” a right to abortion in the armpit of a “penumbra” Justice Douglas imagined into being, in *contravention* of the express democratic wishes of nearly every…

The only thing that can save me from my desolation over this episode would be a guest appearance in this comment thread by Rappin’ Jake Sisko.

I am one of the people who would actually prefer that outcome to the alternative, so I wish you were right. But I don’t think you’re right. It’s been a while since Democrats swept a midterm, but only because a Democrat has been in the White House for all midterms in the past decade — and midterms punish the party in…
