I rewatched The Death of Stalin last night

When he died, all the leadership the country had were incompetent, stupid, butt-kissers. They spent all their time in office trying to out-praise Dear Leader. Then they suddenly had to govern and had no idea what to do. It was a great lesson for here and now. They finallly had enough of the monster Beria and made up a list of violations against the state he'd committed. Among them were helping foreign governments, acting against the state, raping women, and raping little girls. They beat him, shot him, and then burned his corpse. Now that we're following in Russia's footsteps, we should learn the lesson and follow it.

Steve Buscemi actually pulls off his role as Kruschev, even though he looks nothing like him.

they clown car administration will trip over each other if the orange asshole strokes out.

couchfucker really believes he's next in line, which is amusing on the face of it, but he will only be prez in name only.

right now we have a chaotic non-government of independent contractors out for themselves.

…Beria and company were about to celebrate when Stalin revived.

Then came the best part when the dictator died and he stayed dead.
