Point 1: Let us not drag the good name of one of Starfleet's greatest commanding officers of all time into this mess. Constant wiping his ass with the Prime Directive aside, Kirk's instincts and judgement were impeccable. When he breaks the rules it was for the true greater good, or for a moral crusade that needed to be fought.

Point 2: So... I wake up and find out that Rudy is butt dialing reporters and inadvertently showcasing to the public how deep in he is with foreign governments?

You literally can't even go to sleep for a few hours without new craziness.

To be fair, that gif is Evil Mirror Universe Kirk.

Also, Trump reminds me more of a screaming Robert Loggia from Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie.

Technically, while evil, not Mirror Universe. This was a transporter malfunction splitting the Captain in two.

But yes, we'd be better off with Evil Kirk.

Has anyone else listened to the “butt dial excerpts” and found the exact topics being discussed (I.e the Bidens) quite odd?

At the risk of sounding like I’m in full tin foil hat mode this comes across as an elaborate piece of theater. It’s billed as a candid, accidental recording (therefore adding an air of legitimacy to it) and the topic being discussed just so happens to be that allegedly Biden’s son has a drug problem and laundered $3m?

Giuliani even says “Which is illegal” in the recording (not like everyone with a pulse knows money laundering is illegal) just to make sure it reaches the cheap seats. I’m probably overthinking it but this seems a little too convenient a talking point to pop up at a time when the scrutiny into the impeachment push is at its highest.

Rudy's actions are so bizarre and stupid, that it's easy to get conspiratorial and think he's actually meaning to do all these things.

Rudy's actions are so bizarre and stupid, that it's easy to get conspiratorial and think he's actually meaning to do all these things.

Probably true. I think the hyper-rational part of my brain wants to believe there’s some order and purpose behind what looks like the political version of the book of revelations, when really the truth might be there’s zero order and it’s just a chaotic ****-show.

The main reason I feel like there might be some orchestration is because Trump and his campaign have shown themselves to be incredibly adept at manipulating the presence of distractions when it’s beneficial, and this seems a little too convenient.

 

[Sithborg]

I assure you, Rudy's "distractions" are not helpful. There is a good chance Rudy is about to be arrested.

McAleenan says he won't testify before House panel despite subpoena

These fools still think they have a choice. Adorable.

His excuse is that he's unavailable because it's his last week and he's overseeing a smooth transition to his successor. But he doesn't offer an alternative date, so clearly he just doesn't want to testify.

It's like if you ask someone on a date but they say they're busy washing their hair and don't offer any alternative. You know what that means.

State Department official expected to appear as part of impeachment probe

Twitter account worth following.

Next Trump will say "I don't need the law. I am the law!"

 

[Dr Lee]

Very interesting to see this after the deal went to Microsoft yesterday

Twitter account worth following.

It is a kind of genius really.

 

[Dark Raven]

Why on earth do these cities keep hosting Trump for his rallies? He never pays anyone back but takes advantage of everyone.

I suppose these cities are left singing this song in vain:

I understand the deep, deep desire that there is some competence involved. Because the other option is deeply terrifying. But...


Rudy just butt dials a lot.

The identity of the whistleblower has been revealed at last. It's his ass.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, a Sat testimony is a big deal.

Also, I think this is a cry for help from the Onion.

Report: Make It Stop

It would stop if 40% of the country wasn't brain dead stupid.

I thought you meant Trump there and how he keeps talking out of his ass and producing verbal diarrhea.

How can you even butt-dial anymore? Does Giuliani not even have the most bare minimum security feature of swiping the screen to access his phone?

If he’s anything like Trump, his grasp of technology is somewhere back in the 1800s, so probably not.

'I feel bad that I left': John Kelly warned Trump he would be impeached

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Trump wanted to be free from the daycare that existed to protect him from himself.
