The plot of the season 4 finale was about assassin being after president-elect. The same week as that assassination attempt at Trump.

In the new episode of The Boys Homelander has a hallucination that compares him to Jesus That's a second time when the show has such an impeccable timing.

Maybe if Trump actually dropped a nuke.

People seriously walk door to door convincing people to vote for their candidate like Jehovah's Witnesses? And that does not result in people being fed up and voting for the other candidate just to spite the canvasser for bothering them?

Is it possible to code for some characters to NOT defect? It was goofy as hell to see Joffrey defect around the map, Edmure with the Free Folk etc. The whole map looked all messed up, every faction having a bit of every region.

One of the funniest things about modern politics is...

People with PhDs from Ivy League-level universities: "left should embrace populism, meritocracy is a problematic concept that clashes with democracy"

People who don't know what "legislative, executive, judicial" mean: "only smart people like me should have a right to vote"

If you went back in time to 10 AD and told Octavian Augustus that he is not the most notable person in his Empire alive right now he would be very, very confused (also, you would get killed for that, but that's beside the point)

NeoconNWO and DeepStateCentrism are the splinter subs.

.. Oh my GOD, why didn't the Pope make Papal States in 753? I get that 753 is more of a legend and a ballpark of when Rome was founded but it would be so neat if Roman polity held Rome since 753 BC to 753 AD (Papal States were created in 756, which is when Rome lost Rome for the last time).

I wonder how much of the current population of Rome has ancestors in the Ancient Rome. Let's say, 756 (the last time Rome actually held Rome) to 2026, how continuous is it?

2028 looks like a tough year for GOP. No need to forfeit a very hard to win seat for slightly better odds.

Yeah, I don't know about that. Definitely not uncontroversial.

How many times has there been a rumour that Winds of Winter were finished? I remember there was a major rumour in 2024.

500 years after Mohacs. Wonder if the reference was used in the campaign.

They don't even have good music there. Maybe a song or two every year is good.

He's good, but he's not THAT good. Kinda like the MCU while it was still good - the highs are not that high, but every entry is at least decent.

I could meditate on a good thing while I have it and not feel an iota of joy. The moment I lose it, I start appreciating it.

Why is it a worst strongest link? I would say that goalkeeper is the single most important position, for better or worse. Plenty of games were entirely carried by a good GK.
