Nah, I think that's Mason Verger.

I don't know much about advertising, but paying nearly $900 for just under 700 clicks seems like a bad return on investment to me. But I guess that depends on what you're advertising, how much it costs, and how many of those clicks actually resulted in purchases.

Also not a lawyer, but as I understand it: impeachment isn't a criminal prosecution. It's a political tool to remove a president from office, regardless of reason.

Whenever a Republican is president, GOP acts like Impeachment is a murder trial, requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt of a crime. When a Democrat is president, GOP acts like Impeachment is just a chance to undermine (and possibly even remove) a powerful political opponent.

It's the same as their view of the budget deficit/national debt. It's all performative and entirely disconnected from law or reality.

Holy crap, look at the old cell phone in the dirt, bottom middle.

I think the problem is inflation and stagnant wages. When you get paid a living wage, but a teacher is making peanuts, it feels wrong.

It's not that you are getting paid too much. It's that most people are being paid too little.

Prediction: Starbucks resolves the issue by raising all "milk" product prices to match the most expensive option.

"Service guarantees citizenship."

Exactly.

This whole discussion feels like nobody watched ENT.

The Federation exists because Archer was such a fantastic mediator. Add in his rapport with T'Pol and Shran, and his willingness to die in the place of a Tellarite ambassador, and it's little wonder he was able to knit the beginnings of this alliance together.

I really got an Archer vibe from Pike in "Spock Amok" (SNW S01E05), when he dealt with the R'ongovians.

Yeah, that's pretty true.
