The president from the West Wing. You know a politician who cared and did the right things despite optics

It's too depressing watching that show

Also John Goodman's character, Speaker of the House I believe, he was an honorable Republican. Pure fiction that show.

John Goodman is such a boss, what a fan fucking tastic actor. Magical.

His body of work is incredible. His work with the Coen Brothers alone is amazing.

He immediately came in and started trying to cut taxes. Also was in a massive rush to drop bombs on countries. Not sure he was that fictional.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

Realistic show.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

He was honourable.

And instead we get politicians worse than VEEP. Ouch.
