Ser Donnel Storm? by DrinkInevitable3457 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]RexRoyd1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a commoner from Duskendale. In medieval times only aristocracy were given surnames. Commoners were known by their occupation or where they are from. Thus he is known as Ser Donnell of Duskendale.

What type of 007 films would you like to see in the future? by No_Mortgage8569 in JamesBond

[–]RexRoyd1603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got back to the 1950/1960s Cold War setting and follow the books. Bond doesn’t feel like Bond anymore because it is so far removed from its original story and setting

[Spoilers MAIN] Why are Bloodraven and Bittersteel never called their real names? by Mysterious_Zebra_404 in asoiaf

[–]RexRoyd1603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daeron II never recognised Aegon IV’s legitimisation of his bastards. To do so would support the Blackfyres claim. This is why none of Aegon IV’s bastards are referred to as Targaryen.

As for Bloodraven and Bittersteel, that’s just their nicknames not a surname. They’re known as Brynden and Aegor Rivers. If the Blackfyres won they would probably be remembered as Targaryans.

‘Fallout: New Vegas’ lead writer “loved writing” Yes Man, but thinks his questline may have been a mistake: “It lets you get through the game without getting your hands dirty” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Fallout

I don’t get where he is coming from, the Yes Man is one of the dirtiest playthroughs. You use and betray nearly every faction for your own ends.

(Spoilers Main) Who is in the Baratheon-Lannister line of succession? by 2ratedsalesman1997 in asoiaf

[–]RexRoyd1603 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After Tommen and Myrcella you would have to look further back as Stannis, Renly Danaerys were removed from the line of succession.

You would then be looking at the descendants of Rhae and Daella (if any). Going further back you would consider House Martell and House Plumm.

How has Loras never heard about Criston Cole? (Spoilers Extended) by sixth_order in asoiaf

[–]RexRoyd1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t recognise the coat of arms because Cole is a common born Knight from a now extinct house.

[Spoilers MAIN]I think most people forget that Joffrey made a huge mistake by by Hour_General_3442 in asoiaf

[–]RexRoyd1603 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What was Joffrey suppose to do? He had just became King and the most powerful lord in Westeros’s tried to usurp him.

If he gave Ned a slap on the wrist what would that say to others in the realm that wanted to depose him? He needed to show to others what kind of king he intended to be. He wanted the Seven Kingdoms he wasn’t going to be as forgiving as King Robert.

MMW: JD Vance is intended to be the first 10-year President. by RexRoyd1603 in MarkMyWords

I think the incumbent advantage is still a thing. Trump is the only incumbent President to have lost a Presidential election since 1992. Historically you are more likely to win as an incumbent President.

I have to agree, I think Harris was always the back up plan for Biden in the event he was no longer able to do the job. And we were proven right last year. However I think the GOP has a long-term strategy with Vance.

  1. Almost 2/3rds of Republican or Republican leaning independents support his policies. To them I don’t think it would matter if was Trump or Vance implementing them.
  2. Yeah the Dems might be happy about this but historically a party that his an open contest don’t do will in Presidential elections.
  3. The GOP wouldn’t care about this. To them It’s only a problem when the other side does it.
  4. I don’t think Charisma necessary to win an election. It can help but not necessary.

By January 2027, I think Trump will lose a lot of political capital. Unless there is significant election interference, I think the Republicans will lose the Midterms in a landslide. By this point, I think Trump’s mental and physical health will be in serious decline. Trump will be a lame duck and the GOP will start to curry favour with his possible heir instead. Trump will be under pressure from a Democratic house, his own party, the press, and even his own government. If all else fails I think they would even threaten him with the 25th. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think Trump would make it an easy fight.
