Thankfully America doesn't have to deal with a bunch of paranoid racist xenophobes with Nazi-esque names “Fedrelandet viktigst” which would be something like "America first" or anything!

It's the stupid straw-man again. Nobody has ever called anyone who disagrees with them a bigot, it does not happen; people call bigots, bigots because they have said something bigoted. But you brave defenders of bigotry always jump in to say "how dare you call someone a bigot just because someone disagrees with…

That depends on the state he was in when he recorded them; in most states it's legal fr someone to record a conversation that they are a party to, but a few (such as California) make it illegal without consent of everyone involved.

That's the absolute worst that it gets, though - and it's better than several Next Generation Season 1 episodes, like the one with the planet of the African stereotypes, or the one where Wesley is almost executed for stepping on some flowers but the crew actually tries to save him instead of being relieved. And the…

You mean it's not pronounced just like "vagina" without the "va-" and a very heavy emphasis on the "gi"?

It's OK, I'm both a fan of the books and of the Transformers, so having watched the first Bay film has prepared me.

Um, The Man in Black is Flagg.

It's just a little light treason! Don Jr. really is GOB.

Considering that the bullshit term "SJW" is only used by people defending racism and misogyny, it's pretty fucking relevant.

He's a Time Lord, he stopped off to kill JFK a few years after planting his fake Hawaii birth certificate and newspaper announcements to hide the fact that he was born Kenya, and thus unable to be President - even though since his mom was an American he actually would qualify even if he were born on Galifrey.

Although that part is technically true, they just elide the whole part where the segregationists all switched parties following LBJ signing the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, the former traitor states are solidly Republican now except for those that have become less culturally Southern, and think that somehow…

I rewatched Voyager relatively recently, and it was actually mostly pretty decent; it just didn't live up to the highs of Deep Space Nine or seasons 3-6 of Next Generation, and so suffered by comparison. It was still much better than those first two Next Gen seasons though, and was much more consistent.

What's actually likely to trigger consequences is not the ever-growing list of criminal activity by Trump, his family and his administration, but how he seems to be actively trying to piss off the Republicans in Congress now.

It's one of their most common attempts to rewrite history, along with such other lies as "the founding fathers were all Christians", "the Civil War was not about slavery" and "the universe is only 6,000 years old".

According to law, the FBI director is supposed to be appointed to a 10-year fixed term, and the President can fire them but only with cause. However, the law does not have any protections in place against the President firing the director without cause, so Trump discovered he could break with decades of precedent and…

No one throws out accusations of racism at the drop of a hat; that's a bit of bullshit the brave defenders of racism throw out to deflect discussions of actual, real racism. It happens all the time; person A says something racist, person B says, "hey, that's racist!", and person C says "why do you liberal SJWs call…

And they'll keep insisting that Chelsea is planning on running for something - which is somehow bad - even when she's 80 years old, just to keep the hating going on.

A lot of conservative America has been full-fledged fascists for a while now, but before Trump they knew not to admit it in public.

At least we have found out the one situation where conservatives will actually stop justifying police brutality: only when a white woman is killed by a black cop. That's what it takes. But they still will jump to defend every white cop who kills a black man, I'm sure.

This country could use a man like Robespierre these days.
