He was a laughing stock. Now it's more that he's despised as a dangerous psychopathic liar.

I have!
I then forgot it existed.
Which may have been for the best!

Now journalists...

They are never fact checked or held to account.
They are given disproportionate coverage.
Lazy hacks love them as they generate 'content' and therefore clicks and ad revenue.
These hacks treat politics like reality TV and want us to do the same.
They normalise the hate and lies.

This is not journalism.
The video(s) show very clearly that the Republicans are lying.
It is literally there for all to see.
And you, like the BBC, engage in Gaslight levels of false balance.
You are part of the problem when you behave like this.

For now. I think we will get a Captain Seven centred show at some point.

Academy and Legacy are interesting ideas as one takes the very distant future world of Disco and builds with a core of characters we know.
The other continues the story from the TNG/DS9/VOY/PIC/PRO/LOW era and carries on telling us the story we signed up to.
No reboot of TOS, please!

Socialists? In the USA?
The whole of Europe is laughing *hard* at this notion.

Brought to you by private prisons, and people who don't understand that deprivation of liberty IS the punishment. Treating prisoners as sub-human should form no part of a civilised society.
Although, increasing, it appears that the USA is not a civilised society.

She really does talk unrelenting nonsense.
She is astonishingly thick.

Never underestimate the abject stupidity of the electorate.
And given that the UK press has doubled itself over trying to undermine the labour government, it's hardly a shock. Add the UK press obsession with promoting Farage and it's obvious this poll would exist.

...if she rules it out and raises any form of taxation ever again, it'll be a betrayal and u-turn!
She's not being responsible but is being too responsible.
All in all, it's a little underwhelming but sensible and competent, given what she's got to work with. But that's not a news story, really. 🤷♂️

Exactly this. But there's no hacky story in that grown-up take.
