* In the Norway Debates in Great Britain at the beginning of World War II, Roger Keyes and Leo Amery gave a pair of these to Neville Chamberlain, with Keyes (a retired naval admiral) appearing in full military dress to excoriate Chamberlain on the behalf of the military for the conduct of the Norway campaign, and Amery criticizing the lack of preparation and general lack of fighting spirit and competence in Chamberlain's government. Amery ended by quoting the aforementioned Oliver Cromwell speech: "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."[[note]]This was later itself quoted by David Davis against UsefulNotes/BorisJohnson after he was found to have held Christmas parties during lockdown.[[/note]] The effect of the speeches was only increased by the fact that both politicians were in the same party as Chamberlain, and the speeches are often credited as a large reason for Chamberlain's subsequent resignation. David Lloyd George also made a fairly brutal speech, saying that the best thing that Chamberlain could do for the war effort was to resign. Honestly, May 1940 was not a good time to be Neville Chamberlain.

* William Seward, Lincoln's secretary of state, had one for Lincoln. Specifically about the Emancipation Proclamation, which, contrary to popular belief, did not free a single slave. As Lincoln's goal was not the end of slavery, but the preservation of the union, he specifically notated that any Confederate territory currently held by the Union (specified down to the county) was completely exempt from the proclamation. Seward had this to say about it:
-->''"We show our symapthy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free."''

Wrangel was not happy about this, and wrote a long, detailed letter explaining how all of the White Army's difficulties were all Denikin's fault, with extensive documentation to prove it. The letter can be read in full [[https://www.theconundrumcluster.com/p/from-the-archives-general-wrangels?r=z1eyj&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post here]]; one choice excerpt reads as follows:
-->"''The enemy’s successes rose and the inefficiency of your strategy and of your politics became more manifest with every day. The Russian society commenced to see clear. Louder and louder grew the voices of those who demanded the replacement of certain chiefs, whose blamable behavior was evident to all, by others, whose names had remained unblemished amidst the general decline of morals. But the poison of ambition had entered your soul, and drunk with power, surrounded by dishonest flatterers, you thought more of safeguarding your power and authority, than of saving your country.''"
