You're correct. That is an unpopular opinion.

whereas Firefly merely had a fanatical (🖐️) fan base

Whereas if Fox hadn't royally screwed up Firefly's production and release, it would easily have been "popular and successful". Feels like apples and oranges to me.

However, I do agree that Lower Decks is a great show and cancellation makes little sense to me as well. But Strange New Worlds also is a great show, including the artistic license (which I'll be the one to say "Subspace Rhapsody" was amazing, I don't care what anyone says) and I'm happy it is continuing.

If that's an insult, you should try harder. Or maybe just go blow useless things up for fun.

Surely no one has said that.

The corruption began at least with Reagan and continued until it was cemented with Citizens United. Now a large portion of politicians are bought and sold useless, spineless con artists and so many idiot voters eat it right up.

How can I, a citizen of many decades, be proud of a country that allowed itself to devolve so easily and quickly?

Millennial spotted!

But seriously, I’m so old I got this joke right away.

Sic semper tyrannis…

Was what Boothe shouted when he shot Lincoln. But Lincoln was no tyrant and history has proven him to be the best President we ever had.

I wonder what historically interesting quotes will occur in the future.

Yes. They only exist for brainless people who think blowing useless things up, annoying neighbors, scaring pets, and waking sleeping babies is fun.

That is the whole point of the ruling -- to cause confusion and allow there to be an argument that it was an official act. It's clearly not and any logical and reasonable person would see that, but logic and reason doesn't exist in this country anymore.

So then Trump should still be prosecuted, right? Since he allegedly broke the law 91 times, 34 of which he has already been found guilty of exactly that… right?

Pretty sure that the point of the ruling is to grant Trump considerably more ammunition to fight with since it wasn’t an outright “no, he’s not immune.” Any hedging that this was not a political move by the very conservative court is willful ignorance of reality.

We as a nation have only two hopes left: that the public creates an overwhelming lopsided victory for Biden in November (unlikely since nearly half of the country would suck Trump’s very tiny penis if given the chance), or that Chutkan and other judges don’t let this moronic Supreme Court decision change their rulings since supposedly the decision leaves it in these judges hands. And it’s now very unlikely anything will occur prior to November so we may be left with only the one hope.

Make no mistake — Trump is a criminal, a convicted felon, and Trump supporters love it. Because yet again they think they’re “owning the libs” when in reality they are destroying the republic with their sycophancy. I sincerely hope they each get what they want and the country gets irrevocably destroyed — so that their owning of the libs is complete and maybe, just maybe, they’ll finally shut — the — fuck — up.

It’s called Congress. Too bad they are made up of spineless, greedy pieces of shit to do anything about any of this.
