      No. I would actually like Jon to win if this really were to happen, not have a laugh at the irony. I love Colbert, but the vp would need to be an actual politician. So no. No fucking Stewart/Colbert. Please.

        This is what I was thinking when there was talk of Al Franken running for president. But Schmuck Schumer didn’t want a smart, charismatic, funny PROGRESSIVE candidate running for president, so he jumped on that clumsy MAGA smear job to destroy him. I’ll NEVER forgive Schumer (or Gillibrand, who was in on it) for it.

        But just think of how good a Franken/ Trump debate would have been.

        The loss of Al Franken was enormous.

            It was a clumsy MAGA smear job, and would have failed spectacularly if Schmuck Schumer had allowed Al to have the ethics committee hearing that he demanded, and had a right to. But Schmuck didn’t want a Progressive running against his Senate mate Gillibrand, so he gave that ludicrous smear job credibility by jumping on it. And since we were in the middle of the Me, Too Witch Hunt, none of his cowardly Senate colleagues would defend him. In fact many piled on.

            Later, every one of them regretted their actions, and wished they hadn’t done it. If Al Franken could get some support from the media in a rehabilitation campaign, he could definitely make a comeback in politics, and we need brave, intelligent warriors like him.

            Oh, and let’s get rid of that loser Schmuck Schumer. He sucks, and he has sucked for a long time. A big part of the reason that MAGA was able to take over was because of the weak, spinelessness of Schmuck’s “leadership,” who let them grow, steal SCOTUS seats, steal elections, made lame excuses for their wins and our losses, etc. He’s a loser, and always has been a loser, who is interested in nothing more than growing his personal bank account through insider trading. How did a boob like him accumulate an $80 million fortune on a $175k salary? He is as corrupt as any MAGA, and working with the Sociopathic Oligarchs to offer only basic resistance to MAGA. His ONLY defense to anything is a stern statement, and when he really wants to turn up the heat, he writes a stern letter. Fucking Putz.
