      if the GOP cared about consistency, or had any shame to begin with… we wouldn’t even be having these problems.

      It’s only the Dems who seem to care about doing things by the book, taking the high road, being proper… and we can all see where that’s getting us.

          This is an amazing comparison because Eddard Stark was still the asshole who beheaded a kid for running away from the nights’ watch.

            Propaganda in action.

            Dude was a deserter, formerly a rapist. Read the books, not fake news.

              Not to question the system of press ganging convicts into military service or the maybe somewhat dubious accuracy of medieval courts, but you’re still saying a kid deserves to be decapitated for these two things.

                  I think the wide appeal of GoT was how little actual sorcery was included, especially in the early books. The stories were fairly gritty and characters were relatable.

                  Probably the best part of the first book was Ned Stark discovering Punnett squares while investigating all of King Rob’s bastards.

              I read all the books. It’s been a while.

              In that case he’s not at all like a democrat if his major flaw was thinking everyone else was as honorable as him.

        As an outsider, democrats seems to be, not very democratic. Sure vote democrat next election because the rest is so much worse (the system itself is badly designed IMO, you’ll shoot yourself in the foot voting anything else than the two big parties) but don’t judge them on the baseline of what the republicans are.
