#1 The war was mildly provoked. A fraction of a percent of the population was fighting with native Ukranian Russians. Now 100% are affected

Just in case that last comment was not clear. FUCK PUTIN

Colbert - Stewart 2024

Unless you’re Cuba, or Chile, or Nicaragua. Then we won’t let your choose your own path. Nu uh. But we’ll virtue signal all day

As if I needed more reasons to like Stephen Colbert.
Whatshallwedowiththedrunkensailor
He seems to be a fantastic human.
FukTedCruz
GOP still hasn't forgiven him for calling Trump's mouth, Putin's cock holster.

That monologue was an all-time best. Pure gold https://youtu.be/HaHwlSTqA7s

that CNN guy... with the white hair... is this a CGI-Avatar!?!?
FiftyShadesOfBroccoli
That's Anderson Cooper and he's real. Just has impossibly symmetrical chiseled features & sets a completely unrealistic standard for gay men

I am ready for the Stewart/Colbert ticket

Unpleasant choice of meme. They chose to oppose the overwhelming opponent and died on their own terms but they all still died.
Lampmonster
President Z has specifically said he doesn't want his people dying like the 300 Spartans.
Lepidopterous
Unpleasant allusion to World War Z, where the entire earth is consumed by a zombie pandemic.

Didn't read their username?
SamuelPenning
I did not! Sorry about that!

How I wish he and Stewart had actually ran for president/vp all those years ago. How amazing would this country be

city council, then we'll see.

Yeah, electing celebs as US president worked great the last two times.
BarfMonger
How about 2024?
i2ocker89
President has little power in the grand scheme of the US. We should be voting out congress and house members more importantly

Well as we've seen in Ukraine comedians do a damn fine job of running things.
SadEyedLadyoftheLowlands
Normally comedians understand empathy - if not overly sensitive to others due to reading a room etc.
LackadasicalGoblin
I dont think Stewart or Colbert would have that problem
Lepidopterous
I think it has a lot to do with trust too. Like how when your date makes you laugh, you feel more comfortable around them.
GadenKerensky
Well, some comedians aren't nice. But the great ones are very smart.
IfILikeYourJokeITellYou
Ironically, they didn't because they weren't in politics and figured someone better could do the job. Boy were they wrong
Lepidopterous
Bernie could do a great job, the man is a legend. Not electing him was one of our country’s biggest lost opportunities imo. He still 1/
Lepidopterous
influences Biden and the Democratic leadership a lot. And even when he’s on Colbert, I always deeply value what he has to say. 2/2
IfILikeYourJokeITellYou
Clinton was 100% the reason Bernie didn't get elected. The democrats thought they could get in on her name and it totally backfired.
Lepidopterous
She is. But re: backfired, I think it’s more that Fox invested 8+ years of anti-Hillary propaganda so by the time she ran everyone hated her

I would prefer no more celebrity politicians.
MutantTurd
I don't care if someone is famous or not, I just want someone who is competent and not in it for the profit they stand to make.
logicalawesomeness
That's hard in the information age because by spreading info they become celebrities, also gotta talk good with people which helps become
FairyKingOberon
Think that kinda needs to boil down to what are they celebrities for? Both Colbert and Stewart are well known for political commentary
physicsisalwaysrelevant
They are also well know for caring about people and the country
WhellerNG
I suppose that is fair. They are more knowledgeable about the things they speak than the usual celebrity.
NarratesTheDarkerStory
...than the usual politician
GodForsakethMe
This is the real kicker
FairyKingOberon
Also "no more celebrity politicians should mean no more politicians treated like celebrities as well.
riplikash
Maybe it was less that they were celebrities and more that they were racist, corrupt, authoritarians that was the problem?
FairyKingOberon
When you have people that follow their politicians like they follow the fucking Kardashians, those followers tend to become defensive of
FairyKingOberon
Inappropriate behaviors and apologetic for their favorite politicians that are being racist, homophobic, etc.
