We are mollified! We are mollified!

So I guess an aged down Sean Bean was too expensive?

How can a lightweight bone structure necessary for flying support an animal the size of a dragon!?

Is the Green Trial a real thing, or did you just make it a real thing just now?

"A girl must go back to Westeros."

How in the fuck did Varys make it from Meereen to Dorne back to Mereen so quickly!

Guys it's ok. Margaery Tyrell escaped at the last moment. They just didn't show it due to time and budget constraints. She got amnesia cause of the blast, and found passage to the Summer Isles, where she spends her days hanging out with Stannis and Syrio, who also have amnesia.

So the simulated LSD experience you and Nixon undertook in '69 didn't do the trick?

More and more grass roots democrats happily embrace the term socialist, because for reasons Liebkartoffel described above, they take it to mean left of left of center. If you deny that then I'm sorry, but you're being ideological and blind to reality.

I think Bernie Sanders and people like cigarette above are challenging your notion that Democrats do not describe themselves as socialists. It's not those isolated cases, either, just look at DWS squirm and evade rather than say plainly Democrats and socialists are miles apart.

I'm excited for a Bobby Wood, Gyasi Zardes, Christian Pulisic attacking trio for the World Cup qualifiers, or at least I would be if Jurgen Klinnsman wasn't an incompetent fraud.

"Oh jesus, are you really trying to start an argument about the definition of socialism, a term that's become so conceptually flabby that it might as well just mean "left of left-of-center"? "

I know you latch onto labels without a proper understanding of their history or meaning.

Now you're being deliberately obtuse. If you think that independent civic institutions and associations are good, that free enterprise is good, and consumer choice is good, then I'm very sorry but you're not a socialist. Favoring a strong social safety net and socialism ain't the same ballpark, it ain't the same

Do you think workers should be able to form and join independent unions? Do you think media should be independent? Do you think entrepreneurs should be able to start any business they please, whenever and where ever they want? Do you think consumers should have a plethora of dishwashers to choose from, or should there

I think if you actually detailed your policy beliefs you'd find you are an old-fashioned American liberal, not a socialist. Harry Truman wanted universal healthcare way back in 1948, and he was far from a socialist.

Trump on twitter yesterday: "I have never liked the media term 'mass deportation' — but we must enforce the laws of the land!"

So you think people should be assigned career paths from an early age, and freedom of movement should be restricted?
