The implication of Michael Sheen intentionally playing every character gay including Frost/Nixon where he plays actual real life heterosexual person David Frost twink coded as fuck is sending me

Michael Sheen in Frost/Nixon

It was a national scandal when Richard Nixon said, on live TV, "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal." Now it's a 6-3 Supreme Court majority opinion.

Since a President can't be impeached if his party has the majority in either house of Congress, and he can't be criminally charged until after he's been impeached, the President is above the law.

So, am I missing an important nuance, or would it be "within the outer perimeter" of Joe Biden's official duties to declare Donald Trump a threat to the safety of the United States and order his assassination, as long as he could count on 50 votes in the Senate? If not, why not?

(Yes, Doctor Maddow, I know: IOKIYAR.)

Edited to add: Oh, look, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Justice Sotomayor made this exact point in her dissent.

I think there’s a connection between my recent DVD purchases and viewing choices…not sure what though…

Frost/Nixon: 8/10

(2008 biopic)

That one famous line: "When the president does it, it's not illegal" is cross-sectioned and examined from two right angles. What kind of man would truly believe such a horrifyingly corrupt thing, and what extraordinary set of circumstances would a team need to engineer to get him to admit it on-camera?

i have been annotating tvl with moments i think daniel will a) lose his shit at or b) be a bitch about. the wolves is obviously a moment but that devolves quickly. it's gonna be daniel laughing about how many wolves, not believing it's true, and then lestat would burst into tears and say "ya actually my family mocked me and i suffered debilitating ptsd" and they’d spin the camera to daniel sitting like this

Frost/Nixon - 2007 #11

[recycledmoviecostumes]

Rebecca Hall initially wore this orange dress as Caroline Cushing in the 2008 film Frost/Nixon. It was then re-worn by Elle Fanning as Niki Trumbo in the final scene of the 2015 film Trumbo.  

Costume designer Daniel Orlandi worked on both films, making it almost certain that these are the same piece. 

Neither Rebecca Hall nor Elle Fanning are strangers to recycled costumes, though they’ve generally been spotted in reuses from period dramas in the past. So it is interesting to see them both in more modern clothing.

In the past week or so, I keep coming back to this scene from Frost/Nixon for some reason...

...can't think why...

Said about Nixon... performed during the Dubya years... and all too relevant now.

Bonus for the hate on his face:
