Janie Orlean

Janie Orlean was an American politician who served as the last President of the United States.
President Orlean was warned about the threat to Earth posed by Comet Dibiasky by its discoverers, Kate Dibiasky and Dr. Randall Mindy, but dismissed the threat. After becoming the subject of a sex scandal after sexting her Supreme Court pick, Orlean announced the existence of the asteroid. Orlean's administration planned to destroy it using nuclear weapons, only to call off the plan after top donor Peter Isherwell, ceo of BASH Cellular, convinced her that he would be able to extract resources from the comet while also preventing the planet's destruction.
After Mindy became aware of Isherwell and Orlean's incompetence, he began working to inform the public of the danger joining with Dibiasky to start the "Just Look Up" campaign. Orlean in turn started the "Don't Look Up". counter-campaign. For a time she was backed by her supporters, before the increasing proximity of the comet clued in the populace that the comet was an actual threat. When BASH's untested extraction mission failed, Orlean boarded Isherwell's sleeper ship. 22740 years later, Orlean and the rest of the passengers awoke on an alien planet. Unprepared for the life that lay ahead of her, Orlean was approached and devoured alive by a Bronteroc.Don't Look Up - Adam McKay - Netflix - Release date 5 December 2021 - Retrieved 15 December 2024
