We call this “doing paperwork.”
I’m pretty sure dark Brandon is Biden’s millennial Twitter account manager. I don’t think he’ll show up for the debate.

Yes, if you’re looking at it from a single perspective, you can be very clear on what they were or weren’t. You seem to be pretty invested in labeling them according to your own.
Yes you are! And a handsome one at that.
Were the Cardassians terrorists too, or do they get a pass since their actions were Official Military Operations ™? It was certainly a hotly debated topic among Federation members. You can call it black and white if you want to, there were Star Fleet officers that did. There were also respected, high ranking officers, deep into their careers that joined their cause, including Chakotay. Star Trek is nothing if not nuanced.
Half of Janeway’s (the lady above) crew on Voyager were members of the Maquis before they joined her. The Maquis were freedom fighters in the resistance against the Cardassian occupation/colonization in the demilitarized zone. The Cardassians (brutal, planet-hungry, militaristic race) considered them terrorists, the Federation considered them dangerous traitors. Voyager was on a mission to catch the group of Maquis under Chakotay’s command on the Valjean (named for the Les Miserables character imprisoned for a just crime) when both ships got tossed 75 years journey from home. The two captains decided to merge their crews and Chakotay became Janeway’s first officer after Chakotay sacrificed his ship to save members of both crews.
People have (light hearted) animosity toward Janeway mainly because she had to make a hard decision when two crew members got merged into one in a transporter accident. The resulting person was a new being who wanted to live, but keeping him alive would mean sacrificing the two original people. She also fucked around with the timeline so much that one of the time cops went insane trying to fix the issues she was continuously creating. And she’s a bit cranky when she doesn’t get any coffee.
I had no idea they were still on the ship.

TLDR: the ship has minimum staffing requirements, even when stationary, the crews visas expired while they were trapped, the investigation is ongoing and the FBI took their cell phones.
And Baltimore attorneys don’t want any of the crew to leave the country until the investigation is over, which may take two years.

The death penalty is always more expensive for tax payers than life in prison. Just be honest and admit you enjoy your blood lust fantasies. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs
If Jared Kushner is not a vampire then modern media has lied to me about the signs to look out for.
Oh good. That makes more sense.
What the actual fuck. He “doesn’t remember” making the rambling phone calls where he graphically threatens the lives of house members of color, because of his bipolar disorder and his PTSD, and when capitol police show up at his house to politely ask him to stop doing that, he offered to let them take his guns away and they said “No thank you, sir! You keep those bad boys!”
I hope, but don’t believe that he will get the help he needs while incarcerated.
They wash their vegetables with soap? Like… special veg soap or just like Dawn or something?
A friend of mine solves this by meticulously peeling the caps and discarding the stems. It seems like a lot of work to me. I use a mushroom brush to get the dirt and substrate/manure off and call it good.
I’m a caregiver for a man who needs coaching through the entire bathroom hygiene process and I can say that in my professional opinion, Dude Wipes are terrible. They pull apart just getting them out of the package (see below), let alone when someone with dexterity issues tries to clean their butthole with them. He ended up with a poop covered hand after pulling the bits of pulled apart dude wipe out from his butt.
They are the largest “flushable” wipes, but are smaller than a normal baby wipe. Flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed anyway, they’re terrible for every type of sewage system.
Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut is about this. It’s the only book of his I really enjoyed.
