Which is the rank he held at the end of DS9, I believe.

I would like to think he made captain, but we didn’t see it.

What do the rules of professional conduct say about a client who repeatedly and aggressively ignores the law and the orders of the court?

Not being sarcastic here, I’m honestly curious. The lawyer can’t control the client, so what do?

Past the JemHadar Commandant, and Nog’s name on the wall, you mean?

We have no guidance or direction on what we need to do,

Wrong. You have plenty of guidance. It’s called “the law” and you went to school to learn how to understand it. If your people get instructions to violate the law, the instructions are invalid.

This is not complicated.

I think is milenials are still good. For a few more years. Also, we are the only generation that can save files, and know where they went.

But more youngsters would be nice.

The sooner the better.

President Miller, you mean?

You know you can get sued without actually doing anything wrong, don’t you?

I think they have a legitimate concern, and a few protections to keep them from having to go to court (again) every time they write someone a ticket might be in order.

But that shouldn’t be enough to override the need to hold police accountable for their actions.

Quite a few, starting with, “how is that relevant?”

Just because someone is the moral equivalent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch does not inherently mean that they are also the intellectual equivalent of the same.

True enough. Used to be, we were the only game in town, and we knew it.

Our smarter presidents tried to make sure we remained the best option, or at least a good option. Trump, as you have noted, makes is the worst option.

Does anyone in Washington understand that a “deal” generally includes giving the other guy something they want, not just demanding things that you want?

Have you seen his competition?

I mean, anyone looking at Win11 is gonna be skeptical about anything Microsoft is putting out.

If this was true, there would be no reason not to vote on it all together.

This happened under Biden. (Schumer then, too, I belive) Separated a bill, passed the parts the Republicans wanted, then the Republicans voted against the part the Democrat wanted.

Bend over, here it comes again.

I’m not sure I’d call that “unfortunate.” I’ve said for ages that if we can just get more people to vote, it will be good for the democrats. Work the rise of MAGA, I’ve included that if we can get them to think before they vote, that will be even better.

No-one is every gonna call it anything but the Epstein ballroom.

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I’ve never seen.

Which he will ignore as soon as he finds it inconvenient.

Why do people continue to think you can make a deal with someone who never upholds their end of a deal?

I’m tired of pretending their opinion matters.

Are you aware that their vote counts as much as yours? And many of them are in Congress, so their vote counts for a lot more than yours?

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to simply excise people without basic empathy from any role of leadership or influence. But until we do that, we have to deal with them.

According to Wikipedia, 1,500 people work there. We could have just given each of those people 100,000 a year for six years, and had a few thousand dollars left over. We could have given 3,000 homeless people $25,000 a year for six years, and made them productive members of society.

Instead, we made a rich Nazi richer.
