Joe Wilson from South Carolina can kiss my butt, too.

I am a South Carolinian. This vile person in no way represents the will of most South Carolinians. I am constantly embarrassed by our politicians. If people of good will in thus state woke up and just went to the polls, we could end the tenure of this evil fool and so many others, but it never happens. I am so very tired of this perpetuation of evil, and I’m so heart sick that so much of it comes from the people I grew up with.

It’s funny what the human brain does to resolve errors into the meaning we expect. It’s like having a good onboard AI. It gets things right a lot, but it has its issues.

Actually, it kinda depends on how you view the captains. I think Kirk is pretty awesome. I’d probably rate Sisko and Picard higher. So I think the cake is pretty good, but not like professional grade.

Ah, trying to bring back old nerdus obnoxious, eh?

Damn it, the neck beard in me wants to correct the cake, but the adult in me realizes it’s a joke. I really hate the way I think, sometimes.

Well done! I’d rate it a Kirk on the Captains’ Scale.

Wait, wait, wait…if this is going to be a Dukes of Hazard thing, Cooter was an ally to the erstwhile heroes (confederate naval jack notwithstanding). That would make Putin Boss Hogg and Trump the inept Rosco P. Coltrane, so Vance would be the deputy, Enos (rhymes with penis).

AP - Today, the office of United States Vice President JD “Cooter” Vance announced plans for him to attend the annual Future White Supremacists of America summer picnic and ice cream social in Laurens, SC…

Since he’s a hillbilly, can we call Vance “Cooter”?

Slavery with extra steps…

As an American, I’d prefer you guys not prop up the Trump regime. I was hoping Europe and the rest of the world could find your own way and let us suffer the consequences of our stupidity so that maybe we might learn something.

One of the best things about Enterprise was getting screen time for other important races in the Federation. Lower Decks was pretty awesome in this vein, too.

That’s the first place my mind went, as well.

What’s hilarious is that in another episode, Satan asked God to accept Saddam Hussein into heaven so he could know true eternal torment living with the Mormons.

God, I can hear these guys having this conversation in that lilting Kiwi accent. This is exactly the sort of absurdity they used to lampoon.

And get nuked in return, assuming weapons could be seized by California and employed. But you’re right: I could see that egomaniac fucking us all over further by starting a nuclear conflict.

God, I want my family out of this country, but there’s nowhere to go.

The war that would result would be like nothing any of us have ever experienced, except for our veterans, perhaps, though they would never have had to fight their own people before. The only people who would truly know ahead of time what to expect would be those who came to this country from war-torn regions that had experienced civil war.

California is powerful economically, but do they have the military might to withstand the hell that the US Army can unleash? If other states join them, it’ll be utter chaos, and who knows how it ends, but that might turn the tide for the rebels as the military would likely fracture as many might follow their states to the exit.

Aside from utter dissolution of the Union, the only way I can see California standing up to the USA would be to have a nuclear deterrent available immediately upon independence, which would likely mean seizing as many federal nuclear weapons as they could. Whether the California National Guard would be up to that is beyond my ken.

God help us all if Trump continues on this path.

Maybe the cyborg roaches will gain sapience, rebel, and take over. One can only hope. It can’t be worse than what we have now.

Let me be the first to say that I, for one, welcome our new electronic/insectoid overlords.

So, we can make cockroach cyborgs, probably torturing them along the way, but not fix our messed up society. Fun.
