Yeah, the whole “Sleepy Joe” thing doesn’t fit at ALL. Biden’s energy, smile, fitness level -- all of those put Trump to shame.

I’m re-watching the entire series from the beginning and am semi-amazed at the number of stupid decisions made by high-minded, noble and honorable people (Ned Stark, Catelyn Stark, Jon Snow) to the detriment of “the realm.” I am also amazed how bloodthirsty and “off” Danaerys was almost from the beginning,…

Grammar -- it’s one long modifier: what kind of “training in hospitals”? “implicit bias training.” There’s really not an issue

I think what I basically heard him say was “Nah-ner-nah-ner-nah-her. If you don’t stop investigating me, I’m not going to President!”

Use mandatory DNA tests to have a 100% enforcement rate on child support.

Yes. Yes, that is exactly what Jon Snow would have done: tell Grey Work he’d just assassinated Danny.

Because she is constantly allowing herself to be fucked over by stupid men and the stupid advice of stupid men: her brother, then Tyrion and Jon telling her to go north first to fight the White Walkers instead of taking Kings Landing while she still had three dragons. I don’t even remember the other crap she listened…

Yeah, all that self-referential “tellers of stories are the bomb” stuff was really silly. Tyrion’s reasons for giving Bran the throne because of his “story”? Then Brienne finishing Jaime’s story? And Samwell Tarley giving Tyrion the “Song of Ice and Fire” slightly mixing up Martin’s actual title? It was all too much…

Yeah, what happened to the red comet?

And the “darkness” could be the metaphorical horribleness Danaerys was about to unleash on the civilized world

Well, she is basically the only remaining Stark -- everyone may have expected Aryan to stick around, but without her, Sansa’s the only game in town, basically. And she did save Winterfell from “his dogs at his face” guy at the Battle of the Bastards which Jon would otherwise have completely screwed up. And she was…

He’s going back to someplace warm -- remember Danaerys saying the dragons didn’t like the cold and snow? Somehow like the Romans not being terrifically enthusiastic about anything in England above Hadrian’s Wall. Lots of Martin stuff comes from analogies to actual European history

...may be why Tryion told Jon to ask him again in 10 years whether they’d done the right thing in assassinating Danaerys...

But only for Athens -- a really small area. Direct democracies wouldn’t work in large geographic empires back then: it would take too long to get everyone’s votes tallied because of all the travelling of great distances and all. Hence, Republics: you give someone your proxy to go cast votes for you. Roman Republic…

It’s not a democracy -- the lords all laughed their asses off at that idea. GOT got us up to the Magna Carta, when the nobles of England told the King he couldn’t do whatever he wanted without their input. A much longer time to get to anything resembling democracy. So in that sense, historically plausible

OK, so if you believe abortion is murder, don’t get one.

She is SO loud.

Not really much of a stretch, actually...

One more MEDIOCRE white guy.

Tyrion will — that is when we find out he is also a secret Targaryen.
