I did. What's your point?

For those following the Lewandowski/Fields situation... Lewandowski has been arrested, charged. Update in the "Trump" thread here

Such a weak-sauce charge. "Simple battery" for "touching her against her will".

I would suggest Michelle Fields avoid going out in public, and find a padded room or other "safe space", if she is that sensitive to human contact in crowds.

Interesting analogy. Which House?

Tyrell seems to be best fit.
Trump is pure Greyjoy
Cruz - Stark
Clinton - Bealish

Oh jeez. Is it on netflix? Guess I'll have to trudge through a few seasons to figure out what the hell people are talking about.

Clinton would have to be Lannister.
Cruz is much more like Hightower.
Trump as Greyjoy? Perhaps. Probably more Baelish, or maybe Mormont.
Kasich would be a vassal house, such as House Swyft.
Sanders would be the High Sparrow.

There are no Starks in this race. A Stark would have to be someone who doesn't actually engage in the game being played - like, maybe, George Washington.

You've seriously not seen GoTs? Do you read?... like actually read, not just skim books.

It's on Amazon. Might be able to find a free season with Prime, but I'm not sure. We've paid for all 5 seasons. Worth every penny.

My reasonings:

Reagan, had the power and the money, and could bluff with the best of them... like the Tyrells
Trump, wants to be something he's not
Cruz is ideologically consistent
Clinton, lies her butt off to get wants

You haven't read the books either?!

I read. I'd like to read more. But then I have to cut some things out. I suppose I could drop INGO. Nah. That's crazy talk.

 

[jamil]

For me, I have attention issues. I mostly read non-fiction--INGO notwithstanding. Fiction doesn't really keep my attention very well. If I'm consuming fiction it's probably gonna be in video format.

Netflix? Is that like cable? Or satellite?

On the arrest thing - "rude or insolent" touching is the test in Indiana for the most basic battery. The incident in the video would probably meet that.

That said, first offense, no injury, probably a deferral/diversion is worst case scenario. In Marion County, that incident is just another lunch hour in the City Market.

I sure have. I finished them around Christmas last year.

This reminds me of my kids talking about Pokemon cards or Lord of the Rings back in the day.

Unless he would argue something along the lines that she was intentionally blocking his path, and he had both a need and a right to remain walking with Trump, since he was part of Trump's party? In other words: he would argue that his use of force

And that's the ultimate point. I've seen worse on the light rail in DC, St. Louis, and elsewhere. But, it could be easily spun for the "Trump is a bully" meme, so...
