POTUS Is Trying To Sleep | The West Wing

[@RogueShadows]

_”See the part I don’t understand is I got like 24 armed guards right outside my bedroom door…”_ One of my favorite jokes in the series.

[@Vesperitis]

When you’re happy and excited, the first person you want to share it with is the person you love the most. That’s what I see in this scene. Too bad the President was trying to sleep 😂.

[@ConfusedAmericans]

So glad this show finally has a clips channel! ❤

REAL

[@clarktooncrossing3975]

President Bartlet is the best president, real or fictional.

[@thesnowmexican763]

Futurama's Nixon takes a gentleman's second place

[@davidweihe6052]

He is not Abraham Lincoln or George Washington. Maybe not even TR.

[@2020sII]

ackshually its WOODROW WILSON, followed by theodore taft along with mr franklin

[@tedbosquez19]

He’s an example of the worst President … he lied to the voters to win an election and once caught, he was less concerned about being honest with the public and spinning the issue to maintain power … he constantly talked down to the public and would willingly violate national and international law and norms to achieve his goals … he was elitist he thought he deserved power because he thought he was better than everyone … he was not a servant to the people but a pontificating self serving holier than thou fraud …

[@MichaelWill6138]

Amen!

[@admargarethernandez4434]

This show should be in every tv. And streaming service now.

[@jonnnyren6245]

Just let him sleep. Please 😂😂😂

[@davidrosenblum2178]

Why, oh why, can’t we have elected officials like this?

[@neelkrishna]

Because people like this have too many other good options before entering politics at the local level

[@daltongalloway]

Because big business doesn’t want them

[@andreww9513]

It was all made worse by Citizens United~

[@edwardyan751]

Cause we don't have strong willed elected officials.

[@googoo-gjoob]

The *GREATEST* show in the _History_ of television.

[@titus2120]

Yes…. On so many levels….

[@McRocket]

2:40 - I like this part the best. Letting Mandy and Danny off the hook. ☮

[@overly7997]

So happy theres a channel now

[@arnisteingrimursteinunnars4489]

PBS should run West Wing all seasons in an election year. Show the American people what a thoughtful, knowledgeable President looks like. Trump and his ilk would never stand a chance.

[@jasonkoch3182]

The only way people who vote for Trump would watch a second of PBS is if we could somehow take over Fox, NewsMax and ONN and play PBS programming instead.

[@titus2120]

@@jasonkoch3182 Time for us all to get to work then…

[@mkaybuddy]

KZbin algorithm knows that i will always click on a West Wing thumbnail 😄 I love it! Yay for this channel!!

[@heddalee]

My dog and my two nieces agree.

[@rawwbnoles4787]

I just wrapped up my fifth rewatch of the series. After those last two seasons, it makes me moments like this.

[@analogmoz]

Me, toos, makes me moments like this.

[@titus2120]

The fact that these WW channels exist gives me so much hope and joy…. Share it when ever you can…

[@theevilascotcompany9255]

They should have just made this into a pajama party and went with it.

[@veramae4098]

We should only elect Presidents who don't need to sleep.

[@seanwebb605]

The more that I think of the White House the more that I think it has to end. The Americans should decide if it is a working office or the residence of the president. It shouldn't be used for both. By all means turn it into the official residence and a place to host state dinners and ceremonies. But move the staff, board rooms, situation room etc. to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building or make it the working office and create a new official residence for the president and their family. At this point it has become silly having the president and their family live above the store.

[@LittleEye28]

I really wish Martin Sheen would just run for president.

[@untexan]

The trope of “everyone busting into the President’s bedroom with dumb problems when Jed is trying to sleep/recuperate/get laid” got pretty old

[@Dontlicktheballoons]

Those mandatory minimums were introduced in (then senator) Joe Bidon's 1993 crime bill.

[@TheYpurias]

Oh yeah, the bill Bernie Sanders thought was a great idea and voted for eagerly because, in his own words, the United States needed more prisons. And due to the crime issues back in the day, 58% of Black Americans supported it too, compared to 49% of white Americans. It was brought up out of nowhere in 2016 because while Bernie Sanders actually played a role in making the Crime Bill a law by voting for it, Hillary Clinton happened to be married to the President, so naturally she got blamed because of the well-known hugely-important legislative and executive role played by the President's wife. That is to say, she had no say in it one way or another, but the supporters of someone who proudly voted for the Bill thought otherwise. Then it was made an issue in 2020 by Bernie supporters who backed a candidate who loved the Crime Bill, but they hypocritically chose to ignore that. Then, when he started losing in states with larger Black populations, they went on Reddit and threw a bunch of racist tantrums claiming Black people shouldn't be allowed to vote and other such racist statements.

[@GamerKatz_1971]

And every time someone even attempts to tax billionaires the Republicans shit bricks. The same old Republicans Democrats, my party can beat up your party school yard bullshit. How about you go independent, you'd be surprised how refreshing it is to not have your brain controlled by a politician.

Is that Operation resting eagle ?

[@aleksandarjankovski6542]

How did we go from this to…well, you know…?

[@MartineLicht-lf6pp]

Wait 3 hours ago??? 😮 ❤

[@MrElectricNick]

comments section, i need your help.i can barely remember it but there's an episode where someone replies to something Bartlet says with like a one word answer, and then he gets all pissy about their tone and repeats the word back to them in a mocking fashion. it's not much to go on i know but if anyone can help me with finding that scene/episode i'd be very grateful

[@nishantgilatar]

Oh man. Now I wanna know too

[@kaushikiyer4881]

is it the galileo episode?

[@Vesperitis]

Did you mean 10 word answer? Cuz that’s the Season 4 episode Game On.

[@Sassytravis]

You may be thinking of the President Bartlet/Governor Ritchie exchange in Posse Commitatus. "Crime, boy I don't know..."

[@MrElectricNick]

@@Vesperitis No it's specifically a one word response, it's kind of a throwaway conversation but he does it in a joking fashion.

[@22espec]

I have a moment like this once, after I kicked everyone out so I could sleep, my children never did it again, although my wife is still resentful

[@admargarethernandez4434]

Wow! Those last few words in the scene , I hope we get President Biden , and not that horror of a orange person with only dishonesty and Dictatorship up his Sleeve. The end of a Great American Country.

[@MG-_-1471]

Let’s hope so 🤞

[@Ellifiknow]

Trump is one of the best presidents we ever had. He got us through a pandemic. He gets things done and he takes care of America. After the election, a major bridge in Memphis Tennessee was closed for months forcing the diversion of traffic, costing millions in American commerce (which consumers had to pay for), and Biden did nothing. Trump would've offered federal aid, just like he did repeatedly for other states during the pandemic. He never "invaded" any of the states. Further, he did not demand the states follow his policies on Covid, unlike Biden. Biden wants a pat on the back for giving away tax dollars to people who don't work and people who are supposed to be intelligent and signed loan papers to go to college. I guess a lot of people would like you too if you were pretending to be compassionate and giving away other people's money. Why don't you walk down the street and demand people give you money out of their wallet so you can go to a poor neighborhood and pass it out to everyone walking down the street. I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends and get a pat on the back for being so compassionate.
