His speech is much more simple than it was decades ago, to an extent that can't be explained by simply him playing to his idiot base. It shows real cognitive decline. I think the increased (and increasingly ineffectual) lying is concurrent, influencing and influenced by His mental state.

I mean, some people aren't numb because they're being actively wounded by this casual sadist.

Dementia.

Surely the most outrageously traitorous words ever uttered by a Commander in Chief.

This: "Popular culture or pop culture is the entirety of attitudes, ideas, images, perspectives, and other phenomena within the mainstream of a given culture" -Wikipedia. edit: In other words, the president, politics, and Twitter are all pop culture.

You didn't read what I said, did you?

That's not a liberal sentiment.

NPH can be two things.

Anne, don't. Just don't. There's no way to make this outdated corporate brand ironic or fun or modern, without enforcing its basic retro sexist (and anti-sex, and racist) bullshit. This isn't Lego. It's a no-win.

All I know is that an article about South Park gets published and the comments get dumber. A bunch of people obviously influenced by South Park arguing that they weren't influenced by South Park.

They just go, "No."

What person wouldn't be accused of politicizing this issue? We are in a post-bipartisan world.

Totally. Even teenagers (as a distinct subset, neither adults nor children) are a 20th century American invention, more or less. They could dance to their rock'n'roll because they had an unprecedented amount of free time, spending money, and general luxury. There are no teenagers in Westeros.

How would everyone recognize this? What does his audience even know about Daenerys? (They don't read the AV Club or Entertainment Weekly.) They just want a king who talks like a king. I hate to say it (and wouldn't suggest Jon actually rule like this) but people like stupid simplistic stuff (like building clear…

Ramsey's dead.

Presumably GW's castrated areas are still mighty sensitive. He just goes first because he's a gentleman.

Jon, just tell them that you're going to see Daenerys to say "I'll never bend the knee!" and they would have cheered. Then just do what you were going to do. Stop overexplaining/sharing everything. I'm not saying lie, just stick to your bullet points. They WANT to like you, dude. By the old gods, it's about time Sansa…

I would love if they had to rename the Super Skrull for IP reasons and just settled on calling him Kenneth. And his intro was a super-serious voice over: "I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed.
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream ."

That's an 80s song, tho I guess it did still exist in the 90s. Maybe have some Skrulls moping to "Everybody Hurts"?

That might work if Jon understood people and how to influence them. Instead, his strengths lie in being betrayed. Like dad.
