Ted Cruz forgets Sabin Wren, Hera Syndulla, Fennec Shand, Bo Katan, Jyn Erso, Maz Kanata, ...

Well everybody seeming to like the Mandalorian was fun for awhile. Now we can get back to having American partisan arguments about Star Wars which seems to be what everybody actually wants to do instead of be entertained.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Jyn was certainly a victim. Also, don't think Maz counts. Humans only.

Only if we can get a matching one in the north.

Stop teasing with things we want but will never get.

The Minsky Moment

Carano shouldn't have been fired just for being an idiot who says stupid stuff.
But it you take a job for the Mouse, you can't expect any breaks if you get too "outspoken"
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
--Joan Robinson

crazy canuck

I am not sure why an employer can't or should not fire people for saying stupid stuff if it reflects poorly on the employer.  Employers can terminate for any reason that is not contrary to law.  They just need to make the business judgment that they are better off without that person.

This goes back to a basic misunderstand many on the right (certainly not directed at you JR) have about the meaning of the freedom of speech.

"Instrumental in making Star Wars fun again."  :lol: :lol: :lol: Come on man.  :lol:

I doubt Ted actually gives a shit about Gina Carano or Star Wars or an employer's/employee's rights, or even "cancel culture" for that matter. Whatever convinces Trump voters to rally around him is all he gives a shit about. Same with that Hawley kid.
