Of course it was only in the story because the plot needed it! Most things are only in a story because the plot needs it! And there was plenty of setup for it beforehand--an entire book's worth in fact.

The fact that it was introduced and then never used again even though it is obviously unbelievably useful and apparently available enough that a 13 year old was lent one to attend extra classes definitely deserves some criticism but at some point you kinda just have to make peace with the fact that it's a kid's book and it's really not that big of a deal.

You're really doing nothing to dispel (no pun intended) my suspicions that Sanderson readers can't understand anything that isn't explicitly explained to them.

At least some Dems stood by him and sang along in I guess protest of his censure. It's not enough but it's far more than pretty much any Dem has been willing to do.

It's their job to prove to the voters that they're party is worth voting for. Their actions should be based on the support they want not the support they have.

Yeah. I don't think you understand what a deus ex machina is.

She hints at it throughout the whole book/movie by showing that Hermione had a chronologically impossible course load and having her suddenly show up in places that she didn't seem to be mere seconds previous.

Yeah work that almost none of the Democrats are fucking doing!! Politics isn't just voting sometimes you have to get loud, get obstructive, and make yourself fucking known!

This attitude is the reason that the US is going to become the fucking handmaid's tale.

As if there aren't countless examples of Republicans putting on ridiculous theatrics to disrupt Democratic majority house business without ANY consequences.

The fact remains that when a Democrat stands up and causes he disruption he gets thrown out and censured by members of his own party, but when the Republicans do it nothing happens.

Don't be fucking pedantic, there is absolutely a double standard at play here.

I think this is just a case of NYT WANTING a Palestinian genocide so they're more than willing to sanitize the message and promote pro-genocide propaganda.

The punishment they're talking about is the censure. Nothing happened when MTG did it but Al Green was censured with members of his own party voting in favour.

I mean yeah that was the point. He was calling out a dictatorial government for dismantling necessary government programs and institutions that tons of Americans rely on until they removed him from the room. Which is awesome! It's the kind of shit more Democrats should be doing.

Him getting removed isn't the problem, it was the fact that 10 cowards from his own party voted to censure him for it and a bunch of other Dems sat by and did nothing.

Musk demands that Trump send him an email at the end of every week listing 5 fascisms he did that week or Trump loses his job.

Ok the ghosts coming out of the wands thing kinda came out of nowhere, but all they did was tell Harry to run away. It's not like they had a massive impact on the fight.
