How Star Trek (TOS) explains Donald Trump: http://reason.com/archives/2018/11/26/how-star-trek-explains-donald-trump

 

Or, as I'd call it, what happens when Trekkies write political commentary!  :lol:

That moment you realize that Star Trek is just that...

 

About the caravan and the boat attack, well we shall see :)

 

*ahem* DS9 with latinum bars used as a form of money? Still, Star Trek barely ever goes into anything resembling civillian life where you have to pay for stuff, so, the lack of money showing up can at least partially be explained. Onboard I'd guess there'd be 'ship credits' or something. Deep Space 9 (DS9) really goes the closest to that by virtue of being a space station and the currency of the hyper-capitalistic Ferengi being commonly used in the show.

Dismissing the report, Mr Trump continued: “Number two, if you go back and if you look at articles, they talked about global freezing, they talked about at some point the planets could have freeze to death (sic), then it’s going to die of heat exhaustion.

He'd have my vote. The government that governs best governs least. Dogs don't do any more than they have to!

This story has potential to create more consternation for the Trump presidency, in summary Cohen previously mentioned that the Trump project to build a tower in Moscow ended in January 2016 but apparently these discussions continued into June 2016 ...Trump has always denied this

 

I would suggest we get some popcorn and watch the theatrics unfold but there simply is no more Trump popcorn, its been used months ago with all the alleged scandals     :biggrin:

I do have to hand it to Bush & Obama. I have little positive to say about either of them or their time in office but at least we had 16 years without any major scandals (from the White House at least)

I never had an intense dislike of Bush but I did have some criticism for him but after some of the Trump antics I am battling to think of any real issues around Bush  8)

Not even in the top 5! With guys like Pierce, Harding, Hoover, Johnson, & Nixon blocking the way that is a tough summit to reach.

I'd imagine the patriot act would trump all, given your libertarian inclinations.

Guys watch this video and please comment, I agree with most of what Jordan Peterson is saying and how the usage of unnecessary pronouns can lead to the undermining of free speech and doesnt help the transgender community in the long run. Especially when people leave university

 

Sorry if this has been discussed before  :geek:

I have to say that I disagree with classification that Bush senior was honorable in way he concluded his business especially as vice president and as president, but there are and has been worse people.

Did you mean MY personal least favorite or Americans collectively least favorite? If it's my personal I've never made a list. If i did it would probably have Woodrow Wilson at number one. The corrosion of the enumerated powers differences of the Executive and Legislature began with him. 

 

To tell you the truth I'd have a much easier time coming up with a list of Presidents I liked and respected. It would be a much shorter list. And no, GWB would not be on that one.
