Appreciate the show John. It's important to advertise these discussions. I do lean more towards Steve, especially on having Biden step aside and have another candidate chosen at the DNC. It is more than just one bad night. He has had numerous public instances of cognitive decline. Even Carl Berstein just came out with sources inside the White House confirming Biden has declined cognitively, especially in the last 6 months. Optics matter just as important as substance for independents and undecided voters

The most honest thing Trump said in the 2020 debate was: “I just use the laws you created.” And maybe that is also the problem, he gets away so much because there are problems with some of our laws - the ones designed to protect people of wealth and power.

The SCOTUS decision means the Voters are the only check and balance left. I feel like this is our own “Greatest Generation Moment.” Only this time it’s not fighting a war, it’s protecting democracy itself. If we lose in November to the GOP and they get to accelerate Project 2025 (which seems is already full steam ahead), the rot will take permanent hold.

Sorry john but i agree with Steve

Superb episode guys, you both should be invited to the DNC, you would get them fired up.

@Rocha as a fan I just wanted to thank you for doing a show like this and not shying away from your stance in front of your audience (harloff would never campea would never) Please please please please continue to message your audience about project 2025. I don't think a lot of people are aware.

Great show, fellas!

Fascinating....

Thank you for being this show.

Cock akimbo lmaoo

America apparently supports elder abuse. Step up and ban these old men. My Granda retired from the carpet factory at 67 because it was too much yall are letting 80 years olds run a fucking nation, embarrassing.

I saw an ig video & im not sure why it never crossed my mind, but in the video the guy says, when you’re voting for president you’re not only voting for the president, you’re actually voting for the cabinet, whose cabinet is going to move us forward, at the end of the day Biden’s cabinet is the most diverse that is trying to move the country in a better way

Estoy arta de q esta serie dicen q las mujeres no quieren guerra solo los hombres 🤷 q tiene de malo q las mujeres quieran guerra y defender lo suyo

Did you see the Joy Reid segment comparing the Supreme Court to the hand of the king?.....

The hysteria surrounding Biden right now is absurd. Trump does so much worse things and the media never called for him to step down the way they are with Biden right now.

This conversation was great. Back Impolite Truths with Dorina! Its the show we need right now!

America is unironically like a year away from their own Night Of The Long Knife unless voters (or a rogue big mac) put an end to this charade. EDIT: I think john's bold move would be a good one, yes 12 ammendment blah blah but republicans would make it work so just make it work.

I know you two are wildly busy, but if this was a weekly show with you two discussing politics, my anxiety would be much less high lol. That being said, I realize your schedules and lives make that probably impossible.

Gotta admit, I could not stand you on collider - rubbed me the wrong way a few times - but as of the last few months you've been popping up on my fyp and Ive honestly been tuning into all of your content - loving it all and all of your hosts as well - 💪🏽💪🏽

Trump is horrible. But it's the democrats fault for running horrible candidates against him. I agree with Steve. They need to make their case for America other than trump bad. We needed bernie, someone who inspired people. The entire country is laughing at biden after that debate. He just doesn't have it anymore. If you look back at just 4 years ago, the difference is startling

Gwayne came to Kings Landing on Ottos orders. They were calling on their army from Oldtown already. He already said he was on the road for 3 months, only to find his father fired. He didn't knew of the changes before he got there

Anyone who backs Biden at this point is either mentally ill or wants the country to burn to the ground.

Alycent has Aegon and Rhaenyra also has her Aegon, which is Daemon's eldest with her, and is Aegon the Younger. But of course both would name their eldest Aegon. 😉

With her visions and foresight is it possible that Halaena didn't forgive Alicent for what she did but perhaps something she's going to do? It's not clear what the forgiveness is for, it's just assumed it was because of Cole.

A lot of times in a show like this people say “If only they would’ve communicated things wouldn’t have got to this point”. I like that they allowed that to happen here and now people from both parties know that this is really a misunderstanding but the thirst for blood is simply too great to stop what’s in motion. I like that contrast in personality types as Rhaenrya doesn’t just do as men want her to do but Alicent seems to always fall in line behind the men in her life and just goes along with their plans.

John Rocha, have you made a video in request of someone?

John mentioned Gayle Rankin. Yay!

“No fucking Inn’s!” Great line.

I miss the gratuitous female nudity of the Game of Thrones era. HoTD is a bit too WOKE for my hyper-masculine tastes 😂

I’ve read a couple of essays that say the Rhaenera and Alicent meeting was this show’s first Jump The Shark moment.

The Geeeeeeeekkkkkkk Buuuuuddddiiieessssssss ayeeeeeeeee👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥

Season 2 is great for far, and it looks like episode 4 will be epic! The only thing I thing HOTD is missing compared to Game of Thrones, is you dont get to see as much of the wider world. In GOT, we got to see charcters like daenerys in exotic cities over in Qarth and Meereen, whilst following John at the Wall, the goings on in Kings Landing and Winterfell, as well as places like the Vale, Dorne etc. It feels like this season, most of the story will be be focused on a few key locations ( Kings Landing, Dragonstone , the Crownlands, Riverlands etc). However I guess this is where the war is taking place and I cant blame the showrunners either as they can only adapt what George as written. Hopefully we will get to see a more unique locations like harrenhal.

VENGEANCE RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HotD is the only show this summer where I watch each episode twice for the acting and dialogue. I suppose I'd do the same with season 3 of _The Bear_ if it hadn't dropped all at once. I'd be so down to do a rewatch of _The Bear_ with you guys if you were to review each episode.

In the first season, when Rhaenera is seeing suitors, you see a smaller young man being taunted by a loudish, much larger young man. This leads to a duel with a subversive ending, seeing the smaller boy win. The small boy is Willem Blackwood and the brute is Jerrel Bracken. Literally at odds at every opportunity lol

Wait in the book this will be like battle after battle until the hour of the wolf so in the rest of the season and maybe season 3 it will be like all battle???

Idk what Shannon is talking about lolol The White Worm had like 4 minutes of screentime.

It's giving Trolley Problem, ehh?

I'm ready to watch Red One. It looks fun.

HOTD is great...and for me at least its about equal to GOT at its best....I don't think any character has reached Tyrion level yet for me, but they are making up for it with the depth of quality in the rest of the cast/world. Just gonna suck when we have to wait another 2 years for another season

Can’t wait to see next weeks already 😁😁

Look I’ll take the Geek Buddies any way I can get them, but I do miss when these HOTD episodes were like hour and a half long deep dives though.

Nothing gives me the giggles more than the geek buddies dragging Cole. His new hair cut is terrible.

I’d like to point out respectfully that they are in South Korea not Japan

idk what anyone says i get a kick out of the GB intro everytime its classic and must never die

The Christen Cole hate is getting stronger with each episode 😂

Im really interested to see how they label comedies. What will seperate an HBO comedy from a Max comedy

1st

Alicent is terrible. She doesn't want to avoid this war. Imo she deserves everything coming to her. All of team green does minus Helena and her little kids.
