Anger. She recognized the fire lit behind her son's eyes. A raging flame that only a dragon could withstand. How else could he have taken the news? How else could he have reacted to hearing of his brother's slaughter? Had it been under different circumstances, he would never have spoken to her that way, she knew. But it was not different circumstances. And whatever composure she had mustered to meet her eldest son when he returned to Dragonstone began to crumble.
" Do you think I am taking this lightly?" Her words came out snapping, harsh. Not what she had intended, but she couldn’t back down from it now. Her own anger clawed its way to the surface. "Do I appear to be content in your eyes? Do you think I am unaffected because I have not yet burned down King's Landing?" With every word spoken, her voice grew louder and more caustic than she had ever been with Jacaerys, or any of her children for that matter. She regretted it as it left her lips but that regret would not take the lead in this encounter. There would be time for remorse later.
Joe Biden, coherently and normally: I have three issues to speak about. First, the NATO conference went well. Second, the economy is back on track and inflation is down. Third, my proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza is moving forward. Any questions?
When I was like 15 I dated this guy named Wes and we would roleplay Soriel so then when we broke up it made me have a vendetta against the ship for a few years. You made me like them again though so thanks. Also I'm a lesbian now.
It was more than strange, having someone who claimed to be a time traveler in her company. Stranger yet that, with more than enough convincing, Rhaenyra found herself not quite believing him, but certainly finding him more amusing than mad. A strange little man in odd clothes and a peculiar way of speaking. He had become somewhat of a jester in the court. Unofficial, of course, as not to upset Mushroom.
" I doubt you could," she stated bluntly, "unless you have some insight of future events regarding the best choices to make at this time."
Among the other things that seem to pop out of nowhere, I hear that Harris is apparently "very pro-cop" as a reason why we shouldn't vote for her. I would like some clarification about that and also maybe reasons why we should be voting for her, just for the naysayers.
The Kamala cop thing comes from her jobs as San Francisco District Attorney and California Attorney General, and the fact that Kamala and Cop have a kind of ring to them.
the fact that Harris had worked on enforcing the law was used against her in the height of "Defund the Police" but ultimately was pretty unfair, just quickly I found an article from a public defender about Harris progressive record to be short as both DA and AG she fought to scale back incarceration, she refused to seek the death penalty, she wouldn't prosecute marijuana possession cases (back in 2004), as DA along with then Mayor of San Fran Gavin Newsom she took part in the city's short lived gay marriage moment in 2004
here she is in 2004 marrying a nice Lesbian couple, over 10 years before gay marriage would be legal nation wide and 8 years before President Obama announced her supported it.
Harris put a particular stress on prosecuting sex criminals, rapists and human traffickers, and well
