I took her speaking out as a gesture to the loyal clans to let them know they have somebody close to the king who shares their concerns. Letting them know that Jon's way doesn't necessarily have to be the only way. And as the one "full-blooded" Stark still in Winterfell, she knew she could get away with it. Maybe

Or Sansa? Noone would anticipate Greyjoy taking on a land-based mission…

How about a compromise? The liberals have to admit that when a representative from a powerful media corporation has a private conversation with an anonymous individual requesting a certain type of behavior (no further racist posts under that individual's Reddit username) under the threat that the media corporation

Just to clarify here: No democratic senator has voted "Yes" on all of Trumps nominations. Joe Manchin from West Virginia has been the most hospitable, but he voted "No" for DeVos, Price, and Mulvaney. Heidi Heitkamp from North Dakota voted "No" for DeVos, Price, Mulvaney, Sessions, and Mnuchin. You then throw in

And what makes "Pocahontas" an even more racist nickname is that Pocahontas wasn't even Cherokee. She was Powhatan. It's like calling someone "Confucius" for claiming Japanese heritage.

Mean Girl, this is an issue I'm grappling with right now. I have been trying to talk to my children about trying to understand why Trump supporters are still supporting Trump and getting them not just to instantly call them "deplorable" or "irredeemable", even though it makes for good press on the news or easy comedy

But Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski are in Rio, doing puff pieces.

Make use of the live streaming on NBColympics.com. Yesterday, we were able to watch Ginny Thrasher try to qualify for the finals in the 50 m rifle. Unfortunately, she just missed the top 10. But c'mon, ten or twenty years ago there would have been no coverage at all for the qualifying rounds of women's shooting

They've also covered women's soccer and field hockey. I can't remember if water polo was on NBC sports or Bravo.

I like seeing the brief parents' reaction shots. Seeing Aly Raisman's parents wince and wiggle during her gymnastics events has been super entertaining. And after knowing Simone Biles' story, I really like seeing her parents' love shine through. To partially agree with you though, I don't need to see another

Almost all of the events are livestreamed on NBColympics.com, including non-US matches.

It has seemed to me that the crowds have been super supportive of the USA's basketball, gymnastics, and swim teams. And the beach volleyball crowd absolutely loves Walsh and Ross. My impression has been that Russia is getting the most negative response from the audience.

That "Oh Dubly" could compete with "Frankie Teardrop" with respect to creepiness. Were they doing that as an experiment in ultra low frequency generation?

I would love to have Leslie Jones doing color commentary; however, I feel NBC is already severely underusing Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. Why is Tara reading copy telling me about the Amazon river? I want them covering real events, really cluelessly.

My biggest complaint from the parade of nations: If a country has only 1,2, or 3 athletes, would it kill the commentators to just go ahead and say the names and events of the athletes? And definitely don't spend the camera time of that country talking about the USA team.

You see? Some people just can't be reasoned with. We're talking about the DNC unveiling the power of resurrection and using it to bring back wonderful entertainers, and you're turning it into a literal witch hunt and already looking for the next scandal. At this point, it's not political, it's personal.

You're telling me that if the DNC demonstrated the ability to bring beloved Hollywood and rock 'n' roll icons back from the dead — and promised to continue doing so should Clinton be elected— that wouldn't win your vote? You, sir, drive a hard bargain.

But aren't the Democrats the only party to get a Catholic (JFK) in the White House?

I don't need any more time; I am already ready to vote for Clinton even after voting for Bernie in the WV primary. I just feel that even more hardcore Bernie supporters will come around by November (polls already show that the vast majority already have switched their vote to Clinton). The "Bernie or Bust" folks

How much worse is this election than Bush vs. Kerry? Bush took America down a pretty frightening path his first four years, and the 2004 election was about continuing down a KNOWN destructive pathway or bringing a more rational approach back to government. Admittedly, Trump is more of an assumed UNKNOWN destructive
