  • I’m going to write a letter saying “Hegseth is a bad man and should be punished”. Then I’ll crumple it up and throw it into the ocean.

    You should be happy with that, right? I mean, I’m doing SOMETHING and it will have the same impact as bringing articles of impeachment. In fact, my way is more efficient since no legislative time would need to be spent to do this meaningless act.

    “Send a message”? “Important to have a record”? What the fuck have you all been smoking over the last 10 years that you think that means jack shit anymore?



  • Mariner in Lower Decks is far more immature and makes far more questionable choices, but she is a beloved character. I think Burnham’s issue is that she has the emotional stability of a high schooler. You can have immature characters, you can have characters that disrespect the chain of command, you can have characters who make lots of mistakes; but you can not have characters who have a mental health crisis every other week.

    Discovery is like a Star Trek show if nearly every character was some version of Lt. Barclay; crippled by their own insecurities and forced to overcome them again and again without ever seeming to actually grow out of them.
