For that royal fuck-up — not to mention deliberately disobeying the orders of the highest-ranking member of the Resistance, GENERAL FREAKING LEIA ORGANA — Poe gets a slap on the wrist (and the face) and a demotion.

OF COURSE NOT. Flyboy McDickswinger stages a mutiny and sends Finn and Rose to their probable deaths, directly leading to thousands more Resistance deaths and the loss of about 80% of the fleet.

Now, you might be saying, “Well, Laura Holdo Dern should’ve been more transparent with her plan.” But the thing is, she’s the fucking grand admiral and doesn’t need to explain herself to anyone, much less a low-ranking captain who’s kicking over chairs.
