You’ve turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a colossal waste of time!”

Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio misnamed his own “Star Trek” costume and then proceeded to mangle the Prime Directive during a Thursday press conference.
De Blasio showed up to his press conference wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with the gold Starfleet emblem and claimed that he had chosen his costume as “an homage to Captain Kirk,” but critics quickly pointed out that Kirk, made famous by actor William Shatner, wore a gold uniform. The blue uniform was worn by the science and medical officers, such as Leonard Nimoy’s Spock. (RELATED: ‘I’m Going To Be A ‘Rocket Man’: 90-Year-Old Legendary Sci-Fi Actor Heading To Space)
But de Blasio’s flubs didn’t stop with just the uniform. He went on to invoke a Vulcan blessing, which he said was the “Prime Directive.” “Live long and prosper … with candy.” He then instructed someone to beam him up.
The actual Prime Directive, or the first general order and main guiding principle for Starfleet in the fictional series, instructs officers to avoid interfering with alien life and culture whenever possible.
“As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Starfleet personnel, Federation citizen and/or representative may interfere with the normal and healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes introducing superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Starfleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship/installation, unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral obligation,” it reads.
I hope his shirt was a red one.
“Hey, nice costume. You look like that African-American baseball player.”
— Joe Biden
What an absolutely incredible idiot.
Actually the Prime Directive was basically to stay the Hell out of other people’s business. Something no Communist tyrant vermin filth like him could ever abide by.
Blue, like Spock and Dr McCoy.
Aargh! I screwed up while adding keyword vulcanblessing. Typed vulcabblessing. How do I correct this?

Fake Star Trek fan.
Fake name also.
How ironic that one component of the Star Trek prime directives is to NOT INTERFERE WITH DISCOVERED CIVILIZATIONS.
This from the micro-manage dictator king interfering in every possible way the natural flow of the citizens.
Yep.
Give that jackass a red shirt and call action.
Does Star Fleet even train transporter crew members to beam up red shirts?
This only happened because democRATS are the Borg, not the Federation. We need to turn the left’s policies around on them and see how Democrats and MSM like it. I saw an article that proves the time is now, “Parents in Mankato, Minn., Required to State Their Home Address Before Speaking at School Board Meetings”, and you can give that a look at CNSnews. I’ve said for years that White House Press Corps people should be required to state their name and employer before EACH question. Make it so! And Bill’s REAL name is Warren Wilhelm Jr., just as “Jim Acosta” is really Abilio Acosta.
Tough question. Might be something in the fabric to prevent it.
You just described every democRAT.
Very fake. Why do leftists keep getting away with using fake names? Obama, Acosta, NYC mayor guy.
ROTFL!
