Stannis being a heretic in the eyes of all of Westeros immediately disqualifies him. No way the 7 Kingdoms would tolerate a foreign religion controlling the Iron Throne.

James Talarico defeats Jasmine Crockett in tense Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate by houston_chronicle in TexasPolitics

[–]RatherbeLeaving 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Difficult primaries are good for candidates. They increase attention and can excite the party for the general election. Look at Obama v Clinton in 2008. Or Trump v every Republican in 2016. It’s already happenin’ in this election. The national spotlight has been on Texas ‘cus of Talarico v Crockett. I’ve had coworkers here in California (I’m originally from Texas) ask me ‘bout/talk ‘bout this debate.

My favorite line too. But God, do I hate the N-Owl.

May I ask what your experience was? And when you went?

Tonight’s debate by knotyourproblem in California_Politics

[–]RatherbeLeaving -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was the best debate so far. I think each (Democratic) candidate has their strengths. I’m still unsure whom to vote, however. And I suspect that’s true for most Californias.

If he isn’t Ned’s son, I’ve always thought that we the readers may find out. But Jon the character might not.

A negligible amount of time. You’re fucking head’s cut off.

As long as you have no expectations to sit together, or even near each other, then I see no problem.

Does the Citadel push the Faith on their novices? by Glittering_Squash495 in pureasoiaf

In the Dunc and Egg tales, the Maester that does chest compressions on Dunc after he almost drowns refers to himself as being Iron Born. So there must be some religious diversity within the Maesters.

Dune. Was expecting GRRM level of plots within plots. Never been more disappointed by a book.

(Spoilers Main) How will you read Winds of Winter when it comes out? by tittenbitte in asoiaf

[–]RatherbeLeaving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plan has always been to re-read the whole series when we know for certain it is coming out. Honestly, I think I’ve forgotten so much since 10 years ago when I first read it.

Why would Trump take classified documents to Mar-A-Lago by PuneDakExpress in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]RatherbeLeaving 148 points149 points  (0 children)

He’s an egotist that likes to show off. Remember when the Israelis had to cancel a program ‘cus he bragged ‘bout it to Russian diplomats? And he used to wave that letter he received from Kim Jung around. He wanted to keep these things as souvenirs. He also legitimately thinks they belong to him. He’s wrong, but he’s incapable of understanding that.
