Game of thrones
Hi everyone, so based on my personal observations it seems like most high-level players would prosper in the Game of Thrones series. Do you guys think this is accurate? Discuss.

Convoy/support cutting
I want to know how this situation works (example position)
I have fleet TYR and army TUN. Enemy has fleet Rome and Fleet ION.
I convoy TUN to ROME, and he has ROME support Ionian to Tyr. What happens?
Does my army being convoyed cut the support, so everything bounces, or does the fleet in the Ionian knock fleet TYR out?

Tr, I'm not able to delude myself enough to buy that kind of logic. They set the gears in motion so they're responsible for results. That it turned out worse than they may have suspected doesn't make them any less responsible.

They could very easily avoid all blame by not paying people to disturb other political party's events.

@"ND

I haven't been following but it seems legit to claim that our corruption is ok, but letting Russian corruption in is just wrong. I mean the democrats are patriotic americans, so their fucked up whatever must be a million times better russian whats name.

Or at least that seems to be the normal logic, particularily out of Trump's mouth ('and some of them are good people...')

Trump trying to cloak himself in the mantle of Lincoln? He can sit the hell down.

At least he's describing policies now, though, even if his policies are shit. A bunch of "starve the beast" nonsense aimed at public workers and regulations with no accounting for utility or necessity. Symbolic and ineffectual lobbying provisions. A flagship constitutional amendment that'll never pass and that wouldn't help if it did. Start fighting everyone we can over trade. Fuck the environment. Make up numbers about illegal immigrants and crime as an excuse for Operation Wetback 2.0. Slash revenues and fill the gap with magical thinking. Fuck ourselves over trying to make Mexico pay for the wall. Swell our already-overcrowded prison population and thicken the blue line with no regard for the communities being policed.

Shades of Gingrich's Contract with America, but with even less merit. Hell, Gingrich probably wrote it.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the part where he promised to sue his accusers. Real historic moment there, Donald.
TrPrado (461 D)
22 Oct 16 UTC
Hmm, so on the point of really digging into policy, I think Trump's 6 Steps in his Contract with the American Voter deserve a decent look.

1) Congressional Term Limits
It's a lofty fight, but a noble (and popular) goal. He will be fighting the career senators and representatives to get this amendment. Though he would find some allies in Congress, like Oklahoma's Bridenstine who is about to enter his 3rd and final term, where he promised to limit his number of times running for this office to 3 back when he first ran in 2012 (and which I know he'll hold having actually met him). Others in Congress who've made this same campaign promise would back this proposal. Meanwhile Clinton has not spoken up on this issue.

2) Federal Hiring Freeze (with military, public safety, and public health exemptions)
Truly an interesting case. And one of the easiest to fulfill. This one is just a flick of a pen. And its effects? Well, that digs into murkier water. The trend is already downward for the portion of the workforce who work in the federal government. People are choosing to work for more local governments, and the federal government has done quite a bit of contracting instead of hiring their own workers over the past some odd years. I assume this action would just speed up those trends a bit.

3) 2 Regulations for 1
Here's where I tilt my head and raise an eyebrow. This step was incredibly vague, especially following the other 2 steps. It's a deterrence against new regulations, but I have the following questions:
How to impose/enforce this?
Couldn't certain people try to create a new regulation that does the work of 2 or 3 or 4 other regulations as well as impose new language?
What regulations would take priority in this sort of case?

4) 5 Year Ban on WH Officials Becoming Lobbyists
5) Lifetime Ban on WH Officials Lobbying for Foreign Governments
6) Ban on Foreign Lobbyists Raising Money for American Elections
I put these last 3 together because they go together quite well, though I had assumed the sixth was already in place. I'm quite sure FECA prohibits foreign donations to American electoral campaigns, so that one in particular could use a little clarification. 4 and 5 are very to the point. I'm not quite sure what sort of impact that would have, but it could warrant discussion, at least.

Trump has some decent proposals, and that is one of them. He just has other proposals that undermine the core of what America is and constitute human rights violations. If all he were running on were that above, I would have voted for him, but that's not the case, ND.

Will anyone miss the UK?
Sitting here in my armchair sipping Fuller's ESB Ale I just realised that this is a product produced in UK. Will my ESB become more expensive for me when they leave the Union? That's a scary prospective indeed. Wonder if there is anything more of value that I will miss? Need to think some more on this...

Question: Is the "Republic vs. Democracy" thing just an American thing?
I've heard Americans talk about how "America is a republic not a democracy". Using the standard definitions of those words it doesn't make any sense, however if you use the ridiculous definitions those people come up with than it is true. Does anyone outside of the US use this ridiculous dichotomy or is it just Americans?
