It was written about current (for John the Revalator) Roman politics in a code of number meanings and fantastical imagery to get it past the Romans monitoring John the Revalator's communication. The fact that it fits today's politics is more to do with politics being politics pretty generally.

False dichotomy, because there's never two options, there's all the options, pizza tonight or tacos? There's millions of alternatives.

Facts have never stood in his way before. I'm sure he'll say it's a liberal illegal alien trans athlete.

It's an old law that was actually passed to fight against the KKK, many states have similar laws, but apparently this one wasn't worded too carefully so intent isn't a part of the law, in other states you have to be clearly trying to hide your identity, this guy was wareing an open face ski hood. His entire face was visible, and he walked into police breaking up a fight or something, so they pounced on him as if he were involved, but clearly wasn't as they didn't charge with anything related to the fight.

This actually makes a lot of sense. You might be right.

The sitting president is the leader of the party. He's not going anywhere.

Seriously, the whole too old argument is a bulldog with rubber teeth. Trump's a buffoon with or without cognitive decline.

Yeah, blanks are for guns, a lot of gun fire is post processing anyway, so idk, I'd think the risk wasn't worth the end result.

Solid solution.

What you're missing is his actual job history, identical on both resumes, he was applying for a luxury hotel customer service position, and had many years of exactly that experience, unless three other people with more experience than him applied and one of more dropped out, it makes no sense he was looked over, and then interviewed. That's what pushes this from a case of maybe racism to a lawyer accepting the case because of the very strong evidence of racism.

And even if it was a case of two three people having more experience on their resume, and then dropping out, why wouldn't the hiring manager scheduling the interview tell him that, and why did he pick the newer resume over the older one with exactly the same experience, it doesn't add up. Resumes are usually organized oldest to newest, relevant job history greatest to least.

I disagree that it's because of ''shoved'' or overt politics. It's just God awful writing and a terrible idea for a ST show. They made it a chronological story about one protagonist. There's consistent bridge crew we don't even know their names, their character or story, or even get to hear them talk besides ''there's a [thing] captain!'' Type of shit.

No ensemble stories, no stand alone stories, and very close to no science fiction at all. It's all just trying to give you high stakes action scenes with close to nothing else happening.

But also he was super into minority species representation, organized a whole group of Ferangi friends and foes to do a military/covert mission just so he could prove they weren't the stereotype other species considered them. He also took down a Klingon warrior to give his interspecies wife direct control over her own estate and wealth, and had a sex change to manipulate the cultural norms of his species to fight the patriarchy at the behest of his mother, who already legally created equal rights for women with cunning and soft power.

Also he wore eyeshadow and painted his nails, and was the first feramgi to allow a work force to unionize, and scolded 1950s humans for smoking and irradiating their planet. All in all, he was still pretty woke.
