    It’s exaggerated in the show,but there is a “UN Mom” type that works for the UN, dresses like a peacock at a fabulousness contest and swears like a docker when the microphones arent around.

    I had a few Professors who were connected to the UN like this,and Francesca Albanese is another example.

    My dream for the Trump family:

    “Good. And please let him know that, if they can’t, I will rain Hellfire down on them all; I will freeze their assets, cancel their contracts, cripple their business. And I have the power to do it, because I am the fucking hero who helped save Mother Earth from the cataclysm that Jules-Pierre Mao unleashed. Tell his children the government is more powerful than any corporation, and the only reason they think it feels the other way is because we poor public servants are always looking for some fat private sector’s payoff down the road. And I’m not looking. And by the time they can pull the strings to force me out, it will be too late. Their family will be ruined. Their mother, their children, their children! All of them: pariahs! outlaws! Hunted and on the run for the rest of their days, until we find them, and nail each and every last one to the wall. Make sure you tell them that.”

    I’m not a prude and I curse a lot. Her cursing was too much for me and actually soiled the product. It was just annoying after a while.

      It was perfect and from the book. I’ve known a few women with mouths like that and they were some of the most honest and trustworthy people I’ve known.

      To each their own. I tend to swear about the same amount so it never really hit me. I’ve definitely been asked to tone it down before lol

        I mean it just killed the art for me. It was obnoxious and overused. Like okay we get it, you say fuck every 2 words. So edgy.

          Diplomat is kind of understating it though.

          Minor spoiler

          She is the scion of a political dynasty that is serving as “Under-Secretary-General” in the UN when we get to know her, so two steps away from the throne of Earth, having access to black ops and military assets, without ever having been elected.

          Also towards your earlier point, I always took her brash attitude as intentionally annoying. Like that’s the whole point of it, narratively. It’s a tool she uses to unsettle others. Which is why it fits so nicely in the OP.

            That’s pretty much on point according to the books. It’s her more natural speech to swear, but she does intentionally use swearing to unsettle her political opponents and try to glean some information from it.
