      I was joking with my SO the other day about RuPaul running for president and we realised that since she’s a reality TV host but also has a successful business that hasn’t gone bankrupt and isn’t obviously a Russian puppet, she’s actually probably more qualified than the current sitting president for the job.

        To be fair the shit I took this morning is more qualified for the job, so that’s not the high bar it should be.

      In most cases I agree. Stewart is not a political neophyte though. I mean it’s not like he runs a reality show

      His humour requires wit, understanding and nuance. His product is much more intelligent and complex than say, a competition show where people compete for a " job" with some thinly veiled gangster.

      So basically he’s waaaaaaay over qualified to be president.

        I listen to his podcast weekly. I haven’t listened to the one from the OP, but in the past year I have become very disillusioned with Stewart.

        Every interview is an absolute softball “what’s your favorite color” BS where each and every answer is a boot that is slobbered on with “BAM”, and “BARS” and every misdirect and deflection by the guest is just accepted and the root of the few harder questions goes unanswered without protest outside of maybe the Christie interview.

        The Jeffries interview was absolutely embarrassing, for example.

        It’s very different from Stewart 15+ years ago.

      Nah, they’re the only ones we have any idea about. Not to mention zelensky has been killing it.

      thats how the US got in this predicament in the first place. elect a cunt who had a single line in home alone. I mean, Schwarzenegger was gov of Cali at some point and any german speaking mf could tell you that Arnold, while beloved and a huge teddy bear, was never the sharpest bulb in the shed.

        Schwarzenegger was good for environmental issues in California, and RFK Jr played a part in that as well
