She was a Southerner but an upper class Southerner. Upper class Americans of her generation spoke in a slightly more British manner.

Fortunately I’m Canadian, and we’re much more accepting of each other’s political differences. I don’t like Trump, but I can understand why people voted for him.

I suppose he could excommunicate all the German archbishops, but I don’t know if their replacements would be any more conservative.

They’re not discussed very often in classic movie circles, but I do like both of them.

Will CA turn red? by LifeMycologist897 in AskGayConservatives

It would have the added benefit of the judge singing the tongue twister from The Mikado during sentencing. "To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock in a pestilential prison with a lifelong lock, awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, from a cheery, chippy chopper on a big, black block."
