This is the last appearance that Lord John Marbury makes in the West Wing. I've spilt it up into two parts. I'm running out of ideas for West Wing videos so if you have any suggestions then let me know. Season Episode 14.

Hillary enabled (taking bribes, not protecting people that worked for her, not protecting classified information), weakest economic recovery since the depression despite doubling the national debt, trying to tie us to the Paris climate deal while China tripling their CO2 output, losing hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, paying Iran $150 billion based on the dream they would stop producing nuclear weapons material/developing rockets and funding attacks on Israel, insulting Britain and Israel, trying to influence Israeli elections and the Brexit vote (i thought Dems were outraged by that sort of thing), doing nothing about North Korea testing nuclear capable weapons, increasing racial divides by viewing so many issues as race based, disrupting city schools by demanding equivalent outcomes of things like suspensions based in race, not stopping the inflow of illegals,..... And what, other than "winning" a fraudulent Nobel prize, getting his wife to plant a White House garden, and giving the Republicans the House and Senate did Obama accomplish?
@garygienger95975 жыл бұрын
@Ivan Drago Insulting me and my "side" won't change Obama's many failures into successes. Just because the left wing media didn't mention the many Obama failures doesnt turn his administration into a success. As for race, remember the Cambridge cop he accused of racism or the Ferguson cop he and his DOJ tried to brand as racist claiming that the thug was walking away when shot but just happened to have gunpowder burns? Those cops and thugs were not named Obama. As far as the Nobel prize, it is hard to be be jealous of a joke. May you learn to evaluate and analyze for yourself so that you can establish fact based opinions, back them up in debate, and not feel the need to insult. Have a good life.

President Bartlet doesnt exist. The actor that plays him is reading lines that somebody else wrote. This isnt real. Besides, Trump only seems stupid because the media paints him as such. If he were a moron, then the economy wouldnt be better than its been in decades and unemployment wouldnt be at a 50 year low. Hell, even taxes went down. For everybody, not just the rich.

0:51 A little glitch here. A British peer is never adressed as Lord John, as he was some moments earlier by CJ. That's for younger sons of Dukes and Marquesses. But that's CJ and she can be forgiven. He himself however can't be. If he is the hereditary Earl of .... what was it? Shelworne? He can't be Lord Marbury. He's Lord Shelworne then. And the term hereditary Earl isn't used either. That Earl as such is an hereditary title speaks for itself...... 2nd, 3d, 4th or whatever number, followed by Earl is used instead.
@LGranthamsHeir8 жыл бұрын
+Popperite Agreed. As Marbury's full titles were the Marquess of Needham and Dolby, the Earl of Croy, and Baronet of Brycey, by protocol he is supposed to be addressed as "The Marquess of Needham and Dolby" (his highest ranked title) or in short "Lord Needham"
