Yes, after literally two years of the anti-Trump crowd eagerly awaiting the second coming of Jesus Christ in the form of a steaming charge, we get absolutely nothing. Clearly not a victory for Trump.
Maybe, just maybe, it's all a conspiracy.

Without knowing what they are doing the character you are just talking out of your ass. I am dubious, but to say there is no world where the return of Palpatine doesn't work is just close-minded and over-reaching.
Such is the point of speculation. It's okay to speculate without tacking on "in my opinion" or "though it's potentially possible to do right maybe".
I thought that was the most interesting part of the Last Jedi and Rey’s relationship with Kylo Ren: that he proposed a blank slate to her. No more destiny, no holding on to past forms. It could be a great way to introduce the idea of grey Jedi to canon.The dark side told her she came from nothing. We don't know if its the actual truth.
I think it's best that she be of inconsequential parentage. The whole "chosen one" schtick is played out too much in this series, and having a character make their own destiny would be far more interesting at this point. In my opinion. Though it's potentially possible to do right maybe.
Eh, if Yoda, Ben, and Anakin can be force ghosts, why not Palpatine?
Also, remember that Anakin Skywalker was the son of a slave mother and a daddy who didn't exist or was the force so who knows on that. Rey could be related distsntly or something to Luke. My grandfather was Anakin's half-brother kinda thing.
I enjoy discussing lore lore lore as much as the next person, but pointing to canon is not a justification for poor artistic decisions. Palpatine shouldn't return because as a character, he is done and dusted. He was the overarching villain of the first six movies, and now he's all played out. We saw his rise, we saw him at his prime, we saw his defeat in a strong cathartic moment, and that's all we need. The current saga is doing just fine with Kylo as the new main villain - someone who is nothing like Palpatine and has a very different dynamic with the hero. It's good to be doing something different. We don't need to see Abrams give us something that the first three movies have already done better.
Regarding the relations, I'll need to assume a bit about what's coming up, but we've already had six movies emphasizing the importance of prophecy, destiny, and heredity. TLJ established Rey as someone who genuinely came from nothing and making her own destiny. That's different, and it's good that it's different. There's no reason to go back to doing what the first trilogy already did when there's no chance of doing it better.
Aquabro is the best DCEU movie.
I couldn't give less of a shit about anyone's opinion about political crap.
Because he is AG.The problem for me is that the “conclusion” of the report is being released by a heavily biased spokesperson who has a history of spinning these situations. This doesn’t mean he is necessarily doing that in with the Mueller Report but his history, combined with Trump’s repeated misrepresentation of his dealings and the GOPs resistance to releasing the report seems suspicious. All of this can be easily solved by releasing the unredacted report that Congress is entitled to.The AG of the US is not a "spokesperson."
Why not?
QuoteNo, the law currently asserts that.QuoteCongress is entitled to an redacted report.
Just like everyone else.
Maybe. The AG will certainly assert that, but depending on the contents, there could quite easily be a need for Congress to see it that supersedes any need for redaction.
If the courts rule otherwise, so be it.

Correct...Funny, the serious legal trouble you mention for Flynn and Papadopoulos...
Neither has yet been sentenced...
Papadopoulos has in fact been sentenced,
14 days! OMG!!!
Jesus, must have been tremendously serious!!!
Yeah, when you write true statements, it tends to be very compelling...in fact, HIGHLY compelling.
