So war then?

Or how Varys kills Kevan Lannister because he is preventing her from fucking everything up.

I understand Aliser Thorne and Bowen Marsh’s objections. The Night’s Watch fought the wildlings for generations and now some kid commander is saying let them through the wall because some mythical monsters no one has seen in over 8,000 years are coming to kill everyone? It’s a logical argument but they’re still wrong.

“...but he just let that shit happen”

And that’s the same type of thinking that purged the Republican Party of almost all it’s moderates over the last ten years. 

I totally agree. The most interesting thing about Cersei in the books is how absolutely convinced of her own brilliance she is while destroying everything her father worked so hard to build.

She’s more interesting in the books I think. She is just as loathsome but in more of a paranoid lunatic kind of way. The show makes her out to be far more competent then she is in Martin’s books.

I actually found Tony to be the least sympathetic of all the main crew. 

Jon’s not thinking long term though. His idea is “we all need to fight the ice demons together or we all die.”

The Daleks ‘cause they’re hilarious.

Voting isn’t really that hard. I live in Ohio and I registered online yesterday and it literally took me five minutes. Take a little time to register to vote, find out where your polling station is and what you need to bring, and go make your voice heard. Although I will agree that election day should be a national…

Isn’t it though?

It’s almost like that was the entire point of the bicameral Congress!

“2.) Electoral College serves the Democrats just as much as the Republicans so I doubt you’d get unanimous support in Congress ever to get rid of it. I’d rather just modify the current system: Winner no longer takes all, just the popular vote by congressional district, so red districts vote red and blue districts vote…

I’m curious as to why you think Hitler and his NSDAP buddies constitute “the old guard.” Hitler was born to a middle class Austrian family, was a junior NCO in WW1, and was supremely distrustful of the old Prussian nobility. That’s why the SS functioned as its own branch of the Wehrmacht. Hitler didn’t trust the Heer…

Hamilton Nolan: Conservative authoritarianism is oppressive and bad. The only solution is progressive authoritarianism.

That’s what HamNo is advocating for even if he doesn’t have the guts to say so.

That bad?

That idea is VERY popular on the right wing these days. Lots of righteous anger at the Democrats willing to drum up false allegations on anyone Trump nominates to the Supreme Court. Never mind the fact that Justice Gorsuch is currently sitting on the court and has no allegations against him.

The Waters in Mars has my all time favorite Doctor Who quote.
