The only reason this happens is because our system is so weird. In every other country, funding is automatic and doesn't need to be authorized separately. The fix is to switch to a similar setup. Of course, that will never happen, as it would take away this bludgeon the GOP uses to try to get its way.

I remember in 2015 there were images circulating after a debate claiming Hillary Clinton was wearing an earpiece, despite the pictures used as proof clearly being from a different event.

It's because it was from Davis. He interrupted her constantly, including times when she was about to tell him it was his turn to talk. He didn't interrupt Muir almost at all.

I'll leave the reason why he interrupted one and not the other as an exercise for the reader.

No, he was saying that she "put out a statement" about her racial identity.

He dodged every question and shoehorned in "the border" for all of them.

Here's the thing: you're not wrong on what each side seems to have as priorities. It's just absurd that anyone should think there's any kind of equivalence between them.

Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them...

Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has a commentary track called Commentary! The Musical! It is exactly what it sounds like, and it's hilarious.

Who didn't have an election?

I suppose I shouldn't be looking for meaning in anything he says.

 

Garak asserts to Bashir that the Repetitive Epic is the finest form of Cardassian literature. I was wondering, is there any real-life literature that could be considered a "repetitive epic" in the same vein as "The Neverending Sacrifice?"

 

It has occurred to me that Vulcan must have some form of sex industry to handle those going through Pon Farr who aren't currently married or otherwise involved. Otherwise, they'd have constant issues with violence from those suffering the "blood fever" whose spouse was far away, or had died, or for some other reason had no one to mate with.

Given Vulcan attitudes towards sex, it's probably kept out of sight, and is only "officially" available to those experiencing their "Seven Year Itch," but it has to exist, right?

 

In Voyager's transporter room, there is an alcove on the side, and embedded in the wall is what appears to be a small transporter pad. I don't believe anyone is ever shown interacting with this, so there's no definitive explanation for what it is. Assuming it is what it appears to be, what would be the purpose of a very small transporter like this?
