Posted this 3 months ago when I'd thought things had gotten bad enough. Boy, was I wrong.
Seems there is no bottom.
I think about Earth Alliance President Clark a lot nowadays.
There’s some really poignant lines about following illegal orders. If you like DS9 and don’t like what’s happening under the current US government I implore you to watch Babylon 5.
Spoilers, and the clip hits so much harder when you’ve watched the build-up, but if you need convincing here’s a small sample about how topical this show still is.
If you really need convincing here’s one of the best speeches regarding invasion I’ve ever seen.
Trump definitely strikes me as the "goes scorched earth when he's cornered" type. All the oligarchs do. There is no enlightenment at the end of their evil journey, only hatred and spite for having it ended.
I completely agree. His spectre will likely haunt us long after he’s gone. Hatred and spite will be his legacy as well, so we have to do what we can to eradicate those symptoms.
Thanks for the reminder to watch Bab5. It's been on the backlog for ages. Might be time.
I'm pretty out of shape but I think I could probably beat Trump in hand-to-hand combat.
Take care, he may emit a cloud of noxious gas.
Isn't that the case every time he speaks?
He'd be like a rhino, just keep him moving for a minute or two without stopping and he'll keel over.
...but.. killing gowron didn't save the empire tho.
What?
He removed corruption from the Klingon government after becoming Chancellor, and held the job for at least 5 years and was well regarded.. circa 2380.
The Klingon Empire continued for another 600 years until The Burn in the 31st century.
What kind of measure of success is this? A political action has to endure for all time or it failed?
Nb: for those of us who don't enjoy Kurtzman Trek and dismiss it, its still going.
