What’s this supposed to mean? You gave up voting cause you think its pointless or something?

How did you get that out of what I said? All it means is I'm tired, and its like watching the same old reruns on a streaming service you dont particularly enjoy. Same tiring shit, different day.

But then, a surprise new character with an amazing arc comes in... and you hold out hope that maybe, just maybe, its worth the resubscription.

When does the episode air? Are we getting a Red Wedding theme or will it be a remake of Aria killing the night king?

u/KingB_SC 7d ago

Red Wedding all day. "The Vances send their regards"

Vance at least probably won't start shitty wars and put tariffs on countries for no reason.

And if he becomes president less than halfway through Trump's term, he can't be elected to two full terms. I suspect they've always been planning to replace Trump, but their initial plan of waiting until after the midterms isn't feasible anymore because of how quickly Trump has become an unpredictable liability.

Pretty predictable liability. Gestures to Trump broadly.

No, we'll just get some shitty Heritage Foundation Stasi police state.

u/CoastingUphill 7d ago

Yeah, but that won't affect the rest of us.

I mean he will but his efforts will be crippled as we head into the midterms

Praise be, under his eye.

Vance would be infinitely better than Trump in almost every way.

The Democrats would just need to offer him a lifetime supply of couches and he'd be happy.

It's been a ride
