I mentioned upstream that Rafi and Rios knowing each other made a certain kind of sense, particularly after this episode.

Sometimes people just need to watch the damned show for what it is, not what their expectations are.

Probably because Briken is just a contributor now, otherwise he’d have made sure it got trashed.

I’m not saying that his current Press Secretary handles that, but I don’t see her doing much of anything and no one would question her having a private “conversation” with the President for five minutes.

Probably don’t want to start a court system in which conviction is “automatic”, that sounds like something that would do more harm than good. In that it would quickly be used in other criminal proceedings once the precedent was set.

Judd knows he’s a fake already, what he doesn’t know is that Ryan is the only one that can dock the ship. That seems to be a pretty big bargaining chip when Judd cuts off his access to food and housing.

The only issue I had last night was that Ryan is the only one that can dock the ship, how was he not using that as leverage?

One of the only reasons I like Affleck is because of the Mallrats commentary, humanizes him in a way that interviews just don’t. He’s just hanging out with his friends, getting his balls busted and having a good time.

He fails to mention that they both need to be in full clown makeup, he’s dressed as Dorothy, they’re live streaming it, the pets must be in the room and the movie they watch has to be grandma porn.

To add to what you are saying, the feeling I am getting from watching is that things between him and his fellow Starfleet officers were tense before the whole rescue mission came up and failed. Sure he resigned, but I think that was akin to “I resigned, before they told me to leave”.

You could smell the disdain she held for people back on MTV, it’s no surprise that she’s on Fox news being the worst.

Only if Michael Dorn’s character has a plot line revolving around his belief he was abducted by aliens and was made part of their warrior culture.

That is not how car insurance works.

I don’t know California law exactly, but generally speaking the person in the Bugatti would (unless they are insane) have Underinsured/Uninsured coverage that would cover their vehicle.

Those babies will sneak up on you while you’re sleeping and just headbutt you like there’s no tomorrow, you’ve got to let them know you mean business.

I would argue that situational awareness is an important part of superior driving skills.

That woman with the coat half on and half off always gets me.

My point to you was democrats get elected in her district, not republicans, not the working families, nor the conservative parties (13.6 %, 6.6% (Crowley, who arguably brought a lot more to the district, but lost the d) and 1.6% of the vote respectively); nor whatever party she thinks she’d be in.

She ignores them now, waving a magic wand and changing us into a multitude of parties isn’t going to change that.

It still doesn’t change the fact that people like AOC would still need to work with Moderates to get things done.
