queen elizabeth II

Synchronicity...Stan has mine right. We guessed Nixon. LBJ made sense when I thought about it afterwards--post-assassination year, campaign, massive legislative drive, then he spends the last couple of years immobilized by Vietnam and unpopularity.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s monarch for the past 70 years, has died aged 96 https://t.co/nuFdc3PV49

deid

It's true, the BBC talking about the King and the Queen Consort is weird.

ok the monarchy was fun for a while (was it?) but it's time to pack it in

it's one thing when a doddering old lady is the national mascot but when it's a 70+-year-old bat-eared divorcee, it might be more accurate, but less inspiring

at least she got to watch herself portrayed in a TV show

Louis XIV still the champ!!!

(xp) By Oscar winner Olivia Colman too.

Morrissey heard shouting the words, "Ka-Ching!" and pumping his arms.

I'd rather he'd died than the Queen tbh.

bless her, she learnt the importance of being strictly politically neutral at an early age.

Oh well QE II virtually same age as my Mother; glad she (Q) made it a couple years longer & still on the job earlier this week, never mind carry on.

xpost yeah seemed to mostly make the best or the okay of being born into weirdass situation.

here comes charlie big ears to clear the room

she just wanted to live long enough to see Boris back on the dole

Lockheed Martin also posted a tribute tweet but that's rather more fitting, I guess.

People used to send actual flowers, now a performative dashed-off tweet will suffice

The "Hamilton" Crew kind of misses the point of Alexander Hamilton

annoying we never actually found out the sizes

xp last night on HistoryTV (CSPAN 2), a Jefferson scholar mentioned that TJ clashed w Ham in part because the former into early (pre-guillotine) French Revoloo, latter big on Brits, as this from American Diplomacy journal site lays out:

Hamilton’s approach to economic and foreign policy was based on his belief and hope that the United States could emerge as a great empire, rivaling, and someday surpassing, the empire of Great Britain. Indeed, Great Britain was his model for shaping U.S. economic policies and institutions. Hamilton greatly admired the British Empire for its unparalleled financial and commercial power and its preeminent global position. As Treasury Secretary he generously borrowed British financial practices and encouraged trade with our former colonial masters and wartime antagonist. As chief foreign policy advisor to President Washington, he counseled cooperation with Britain, focused on the common security interests of Britain and the United States, and advocated the development of strong U.S. naval power.

In 1795, Hamilton described his country as the “embryo of a great empire.”

(Then again, sometimes I wonder if America and the world wouldn't have been better off we'd stayed in the Empire-to-Commonwealth, with no American Civil War and room for our own sep. imperialist adventures? Would not eliminate racism, classism etc,, but maybe not so much freakish homegrowth...would still have to deal with French, Spanish possessions in North America, but might have worked out better than it did, again without too much room and resources for US romping all over)
