If my mid-60s mom can drive a power truck during hurricane outages, Ted Cruz can drive a truck.

I got a strong impression that the White walker threat is going to be resolved next episode or shortly thereafter. So many of the conversations and new plot points are concerning Cersei and the post-war politcal landscape. There was no Cersei in this episode and there probably won’t be any Cersei during episode 3.…

I gotta say, your takes on this week’s scenes are pretty bad: don’t care at all about Greyworm, the kidnapped, mutilated child soldier who learns his humanity, becomes a leader of his people and fights for a cause he chooses for the first time ever, and Missandei, the slave girl who is freed and chooses to serve her…

Looking at him HURTS me. The whole while I’ve been watching him I want to SCREAM at him TO SIT UP FUCKING STRAIGHT. He’s at a funeral for a fucking head of state and is slouching in the pew like he’s a bored 6-year-old at mass. Or like a tired person on the subway.

KFC and cologne : (

The subtlety is key. Poised, yet salty af. Yes Michelle. Serve. 

Pretty much every politician ignored the AIDS crisis in the 80s and early 90s. As for the civil rights act, you’re right in that he campaigned against it to appeal to Texas voters, but as an actual congressman he supported it and voted for the Fair housing act, which got him in trouble with his constituents. He also…

“Decent” doesn’t mean perfect.

Look... I actually owe a lot to HW because he signed the ADA into law, which provided a lot of protections for me and other members of my family who need it. I also think dude was a good grandparent and parent, and clearly loved his wife. He also served his country honorably in World War 2, which itself should be…

Yeah. Who has time to drive to the post office whatever a post office is? Well, maybe these people.

“Opting out of voting just means opting in to the system as it currently is.”

This post was planted by the GOP, right? I mean, I can’t think of a single reason anyone who calls themselves a progressive would trot out a list of reasons not to vote a few days before the election.

This is probably the best article I’ve seen explaining Splinter’s stance on this particular subject. I seriously disagree with it - even if you believe the country is “stuck on autopilot” and voting is too hard and/or soul-crushing, sitting on your hands and waiting for some magical candidate to come and lay waste to…

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

Antibiotics contain government nanotechnology that will make us all worship Obama and turn socialist.

I doubt half the people watching Fox even know what leprosy is, other than “bad, Biblical disease.”

In his defense: I mean, it’s what gave her notoriety in the first place.

So, if you don’t ask Monica Lewinsky about the Clinton affair, what other newsworthy topics are there? Does she really think the news consuming public actually cares about another bullshit TED Talk about cyberbullying from a vaguely familiar name?
