A presidential coup accomplished through massive election fraud does not make one the legal president anymore than squatting in someone else's house makes one the legal owner. All it does is to make one a treasonous Usurper. President Trump won in a massive landslide, and he will lead the nation through this awful time of occupation, from exile. President Trump will win his third term in 2024, and with the Dominion fraud machines gone, he will not have to serve his third term in exile. He will have as many as possible of the traitors, arrested, tried and convicted, and lined up in front of a wall and executed for their crimes. Then we will repair as much of the national damage as possible, including reversing the amnesties for crimes committed by illegal aliens, and finishing the wall. And the Democrats will never be allowed to hold power again. MAGA Forever!

@markmh835 4 года назад

Maggie Smith was outstanding in this role and scene, of that there is no doubt. But I'm not sure if I would say no one else could have played this scene better. Had Dame Judi Dench played the role in the scene, I imagine her doing so by speaking more slowly, deliberately, with a cool flat monotone, menacingly over-articulating each word. And in the longer, cooler pauses which no doubt would have been manifest in Ms. Dench's performance of this scene, one could no doubt debate whether she was contemplating Miss Cruikshank's death by poison or by a hit man. Absolutely chilling to imagine Judi Dench's performance of this same material.

I feel like there's a particular writer in the Downton Abbey writers' room for Violet. Her cadence, her scathing wit, and even her somewhat archaic construction of sentences is so unique, yet it has remained consistent for her as a character throughout the seasons. With a handful of other Downton characters, the style of speaking is somewhat interchangeable, but Violet has a voice all of her own.

She could be The Honourable Miss Cruikshank. The daughters of nobles with titles below that of Earl (e.g. Viscount) don't get Lady before their names, but they are styled as "The Honourable Miss X," however you wouldn't really use "The Honourable" in everyday conversation, instead referring to them as "Miss X." She could also be the daughter of the second or third son of a noble, in which case she doesn't get a title but is still of aristocratic birth.

"Larry's got a hot head on him, I'll admit, but the invitation was an attempt to mend bridges." "Lord Merton quite fancies Mrs Crawley, I thought giving them an opportunity to know each other better would do no harm." "Sure, I'll leave the house for a time, but once Lord Merton dies, either Mrs Crawley will flee from the grief or Larry and I can be of service in mending the broken heart left behind."

Here we have a case of a shrew picked apart into her constituent elements: coldness, manipulativeness, calculation, greed. Done very elegantly by the dowager duchess.

I love Violet Grantham!!! Poised and witty, yet insightful, and a venomous high brow when necessary. Is there a tee shirt? I should like to purchase one.

@SN-sz7kw 2 года назад

Yes - Her & the words “I never argue, I explain.” Both daughters wear them. 😂

I'll note that Violet's 'shall I sit here' is noting a _serious_ lack of hospitality and courtesy on Amelia's part. A guest in one's home, no matter how unexpected, should _never_ have to ask whether to be seated, particularly given the relative social standing, as I understand it.

@MarkT1700 Год назад

It's very subtle, but it's almost an insult, she called her rude lol. But also at the same time, it was a power move. Those words are very specific and by using them, she is essentially communicating that she will sit and be heard. It's a rhetorical question meant to remind Amelia that Lady G has a higher standing.

"I expect they'll have to drag you out while you break your fingernails catching at the doorcase." Brilliant! I love Violet, she's fantastic.

Miss Crookshank? LOL! What a perfect name for her.

@koppsr Год назад

Violet's description of Amelia's "display of fondness" of her father in laws estate was quite... amusing! 😁😁

Wasn't Cruikshank the name of Hermione's freakishly large cat?

@nina1522 4 года назад

Yes, it was, or something very similar. Good catch!

@mannyson850 2 года назад

“You’re a cool little mess aren’t you? I’d feel sorry for Larry, if I didn’t dislike him so much.” The dowager just handing out roasts so smoothly with that two for one special 😂😂

@annsmith7207 3 месяца назад

No one...absolutely no one can put someone in their place or rip them to shreds like the Dowager Countess. No one ! Absolutely brilliant lines throughout Downton Abbey, And who better than Maggie Smiith ... truly a gem of an actor no matter what the part !
