The worst scene ever in the history of television


I think about this scene all the time. To me it is the essence of government. It is what government does. It is a small step from mask mandates and vaccination passports to the burning of daughters for "the greater good."

I can see Biden and Schumer and AOC and Liz Chaney and Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy doing this. Australia is a canary in the coal mine. Our liberty is at risk. Our Constitution is on the fire just as this poor little girl is in this harrowing horror scene. And we turn and walk away like the soldiers in this scene. We avert our eyes. 

It gnaws at me.

Winter is coming. Reinstatement is not.

It was truly shocking. Yet Joe Biden killed some Afghan kids a couple of weeks ago and no one cared.

Dude, just abide if Orange Man Bad pops back to life like Jon Snow.

Goes back farther than some cheap torture porn novels. Agamemnon sacrificed daughter Iphigenia to make the winds blow. After he got out of the army, wife Clytemnestra killed him for it.

Greeks know how this stuff ends.

Don't put money on that. Buck Fiden and Trump Won banners are showing up in more places, not less.

This character turns out to be a complete fraud who repeatedly recommends really really bad policies but with good intentions. At the end her magical powers leave her and it turns out she's an ancient crone who dies immediately, not a hot redhead.
