My first reaction upon reading this was that I read the books twice and I don’t remember any of this. My second reaction is that I still don’t care. And my last reaction is that even after the explanation and the details of how it fits into the larger story, I still don’t care. There’s nothing in there that I read…

One of his press flunkies said his VP pick would be like the CFO or CTO, the guy who runs things, while Trump would be the guy who guys on golf outings and charges booze, hookers, and alcohol on the company account to make deals. I don’t think being President would be an issue with him.

Someday they’re going to start digging around his finances to see just how much he’s worth and it’ll be glorious

I always kind of suspected that he’d bail the moment things got too tough for him. He’s just managed to get this far because everybody’s been too easy on him.

snarkers gonna snark

I would bring out the tiny violins for all those people who now have to accept the fact their assistants can’t work 50-60 hour weeks for little pay and no reward but those tiny violins just got laid off along with half the assistants.

Such a shame that with Baylor now cleaning up it’s act, there’s no colleges they could play for anymore

This isn’t really a promising sign of the upcoming election. Hillary will spend months giving sensible and well thought out policy positions and yet Trump could give an entire speech using sock puppets and the networks will carry that. And then they’ll criticize Hillary for not being able to set the agenda

Oh My God, there’s another one of you out there.

Really, I think the Sharks fit into the “her?” category as I never hear them really discussed or mention, although SF tends to roll their eyes at anything involving San Jose. Then there’s all the playoff flameouts which made me stop caring about them.

Close but Bundesliga is a little off the beaten path (says SF Gaints/Tottenham fan, something which would have been cute and cuddly in 2009 but bandwagonesque now)

I wonder what the crossover is between US United fans and people who claim to be fans of the Yankees, Sox, Pats, or Cowboys.

Exactly. For those who lived through the 90's, we watched her get accused of everything from not knowing how to bake cookies to murder. And even if it wasn’t about her, it always somehow got made about her (the press and media was horrible to her).. It’s hard not to smell good when there’s been so much trash thrown at…

The Democrats have always been known for having their deepest held position that if s circular firing squad

The Iron Born is a Patriarchal culture so Theon was the rightful heir to the Throne. He had to cosign because it was his by right so he had to abdicate that right to support his sister (who has proven throughout the show that she is worthy of the throne).

Yeah, I should have probably written my post better as obviously slavery, segregation and the genocide of Native Americans top the list of this country’s worst moments. I just mean more from the standpoint of Trump being the biggest danger to American Democracy in terms of going from a semi-functioning democracy to…

both sides say it and both sides should rarely ever, ever, ever say it. This is one of the cases where it might be allowable

he’s a photo-fascist con man using xenophobic and racist comments to win the White House through a wave of resentment towards minorities. He’s LePen in France, Pim Fortyn in Denmark, and any number of far-right populists sweeping through Europe. At best, he’s Silvio Berlusconi- a corrupt clown who turned Italy into a…

100 points to Slytherin for some good old fashioned anti-semitism. Actually, even Slytherin would probably put you on probation for something that baldly anti-semitic

Can you please read Hillary’s proposals and then pay attention to the news before spouting about crap that’s basically internet gibberish?
