My main question on that Colbert clip is who is Gillian Anderson playing in the crown?

 

[andysays]

with all the firing that seems to go on at this level,i do wonder what contracts people have that they can just be kicked out at a whim

They're political appointees, so it's not quite like any job situation you or I are likely to be in.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn they get some sort of pay off, but I won't be shedding too many tears if not.

Bush had a lot of populist appeal tbh. In many ways he foreshadowed trump both in terms of presentation and who he was trying to appeal to eg evangelicals etc. at least some of this is just personal beef because trump insulted his family

Thatcher, apparently.

Steven Colbert takes a look into the Dean Browning comedy / scandal:

<goes to find rest of show, because Olivia Colman and Gillian Anderson>

Glad to hear it. I hope you'll take this in the spirit that it's meant, but really, nothing you can do - literally, in the correct sense, nothing - can affect what happens anyway, so why do this to yourself?
Go back to watching cartoons, go for a long walk, have a wank - have several wanks - anything but doomscrolling your way through the minutae of events that you cannot influence

Aye, it’s fine to get obsessed and riled up by an injustice or a threat if you can do something about it but pointless otherwise. I know. Scared myself yesterday and was thinking to encourage the bits of my family over there that I love to make plans to move back here sooner rather than later (the ones who said they’d come if trump won again) but yeah, that can wait too.

Thatcher!

Right now is the longest time the world has gone without seeing the trump in person since he got to be the president. It’s nice, maybe this is it, he just disappears until he has something new to sell next year.

He appeared in public yesterday at Arlington

DERAIL
Gillian Anderson as Thatcher. Fucking terrifying.

Oh yeah. But didn’t talk to press?

If we get really, really lucky maybe he'll spend the next couple of months doing nothing else but golfing. I don't see us getting that lucky, tbh.

 

[Yossarian]

I don't think he said anything - his advisers must have somehow talked him out of delivering a rambling hour-long speech comparing the Allied fight against the Nazis to his own fight against the election results.

That’s gonna cause a few people one hell of a difficult wank.

He knows that the networks wouldn't bother showing it

And that must pain him more than anything else.

She does the Thatcher Voice quite well.

Here, in Ireland in the '80s the story that went around was that the Queen hated Thatchler. Did you have that in UK as well?

He’d only have got confused about which side to support in Stalingrad.

Yup, and Blair. Never heard anything about Major.

My work PC homepage is some sort of Microsoft newsfeed type malarkey. Most annoying, can't change the fucking thing etc. Anyway, it just threw up this earth shattering item: 'Jon Voigt tweets the election result is a lie'. Fucking, wow. What's next: 'John Wayne would have probably supported attempts to reassess the validity of mail in ballots'?

Male and female X-Files fans are building up to what has been dubbed the ‘toughest wank in a generation’ as Anderson portrays the Iron Lady in the new series of The Crown.

Some have barely got over Andrea Riseborough’s performance of said role.

TBF I am sure I'd heard people calling him duck rather than goose.

Yes. He's a massive cult as well, I've heard.

Hold on! Hold on, there's more! Tom Arnold has something to say about what Jon Voigt said. And there's something about Satan.

Jon Voight: ‘Disturbing’ clip showing actor call Joe Biden ‘Satan’ compared to ‘hostage video’

I'll let you know if there are developments.
