I mean, they probably know there’s no chance in hell of that bill gaining traction let alone passing (for so many reasons ‡). It’s all performance / pandering to their base in an election year.
The scary takeaway should be that’s what the Republican base wants to hear.
‡ The fact that you can’t just “deport” a citizen to a random country is the least of the things logically wrong with this bill.

So far I’ve checked several “getting started”'s and FAQ’s and Google and everyone just tells me that it’s possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I’m in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness” and “lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.”...
It’s like a dark reprise of that gag where Homer keeps acting like a jerk but avoiding consequences because he keeps saying “Sorry, I’ve got a class to teach”

Shohreh Aghdashloo. She was an actress in Iran before she moved to the US. The only other role of hers I’m familiar with is Dina Araz on the fourth season of 24. I think she also did a voice role for Archer. She’s got a lot of acting credits, though.
But yeah, she does play some badass hardasses lol.
Seems unusual that an actress would achieve popularity only with age, mostly it is the reverse
Kathryn Joosten decided to get into acting at age 53 and played all sorts of memorable character roles until her death in 2012.
Yeah, I pulled up her IMDB a bit ago. I knew she was in a lot, but didn’t realize how much voice work she’s done. I’m not much of a gamer, so those roles slipped past me.
Oh, absolutely. I recognize her every time she’s in something but just haven’t seen a lot of the things she’s been in. Can’t believe I forgot she was in Star Trek, though (the JJ Abrams ones, so hopefully I can be forgiven for that lol).
I would love to see Shorleh come over to the Trek franchise in a worthy role. I can definitely see her standing out in the 25th century.
That would be awesome. Ideally not some viewscreen-only admiral or other small, desk role but a proper character. Don’t know if I’d prefer a protagonist or antagonist. I liked Philippa Georgiou, but I loved Emperor Georgiou. Guess they can surprise me.
Edit: Probably too late now, but she would be awesome as like the head of Section 31 or something (and Michelle Yeoh’s boss) in the S31 movie.

I also thought the one, lonely tank seemed familiar (had to check the article date to make sure it was new). Thanks for posting that so I didn’t have to dig up last year’s.

Do you consider Lemmy/Reddit (and similar platforms) to be social media?
