I know when I think of events that happen in the middle of the seat imperial power and religious authority in the middle of a large continent I think, "Fictitious Medieval England".

Giuliani Clarifies "Trial By Combat" Comments. Says It Was Not A Call To Violence, But A Reference To "Very Famous Documentary" Game Of Thrones

The right in America is convinced they are in Westeros, playing the game of thrones with their 12D chess strategies..... meanwhile the rest of us can clearly see we're stuck in South Park
Documentary... about... fictional England
You cannot fucking make this shit up. When they make the HBOdocumentary series in the future people will say the writing is far-fetched and ridiculous. They might even say it's as badly written as the season 8 of that documentary...!

Motherfucker probably thinks Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Wild Wild West were based actual events.

Game of Thrones is a documentary about medieval England just the same way Four Seasons landscaping was a replica of Four Seasons hotel. You can't deny this logic.
Reporter: "So are you saying you want trumps supporters to fight to the death with police to prove him right?"
Guiliani: "no, you are putting words in my mouth, I'm saying I want trumps supporters to fight to the death with police to prove him right"
Does he think his "explanation" makes it sound better? Because it almost just clarifies exactly what he was saying. "Oh Trump can't defend himself so we need someone to do it for him, will you be his knight in shining armour?"
Someone needs to lay off the sauce while on the interview circuit. Especially when they are facing serious criminal charges, and their meal ticket is reportedly pissed off at them and is refusing to cough up legal fees. (And presumably refusing to issue a pardon too.)
I mean, I did previously say that it was like watching a real life Game of Thrones unfolding, and that Geoffrey is about to bite it, but I didn't realize that GoT was a fictional documentary. š¤£
I'll take stupid words that begin with "O" Alex.
Different fight, and for a different reason.

Wait what? even that makes little sense as he references Tyrion not fighting himself (Trump) so gets a champion to fight on his behalf (the mob), so even that is what they did
I've never seen Game of Thrones. Do they even ever use the phrase "Trial by combat"? Because if they did. then surely someone would already have pointed this out. I'm guessing they never used the words.
Dunno, should GRRM feel honored or confused that Ghouliani thinks GoT is a "documentary"?
Yes they do, iirc at least two times. The thing is ... regarding Ghouliani's "clarification" ... violence is always invovled because normally at least one of the combatants is dead at the end of the trial. ^^

Rudy referenced that one, actually. He says "Tyrion is accused of murder". Tyrion's first trial by combat isn't for murder, but attempted murder on Bran. It's for the second trial that he's accused of murder.
But like the article says it's... unclear who the "Tyrion" in this story is...
Yes, they do. But it's literal combat in the story, not something metaphorical. And moreover dumbshit Trump fans can easily take it the wrong (or, in his case, likely intended) way as an incitation of violence.
Also, Game of Thrones is most definitely not a "documentary about fictitious medieval England" lol....
Well, then they are mixing the two together.
I don't remember Tyrion hiring anyone for the second trial by combat. Unless that's different in the book.
Probably yeah. Though I suppose Oberyn could fit even if he's not strictly speaking a "hire".
In any case... it's just Rudy being a goddamn clown as always. It's not like he knew what he was talking about. Let's remember he called it a documentary...
Wasn't there another idiot there talking about kicking ass? Or was that Rudy too?
And didn't Jr. say some volatile shit?
And didn't Jr. say some volatile shit?
This is like that Mo Brooks guy yelling at the crowd pre-riot to "take names and kick ass," but now he's claiming he meant ass as in donkey as in Democrat, and he meant kick them out at the ballot box in 2022 and 2024. It's not his fault that all these angry and riled up people assembled to "stop the steal" misinterpreted his very clear and very obvious intent!
Not that he could just outright do that on his own, but he'd find some fucked up rationale to attempt it somewhere. Taking the football with him on his way out as the cheering MAGA masses parade below.
