jon stewart. because he would be excellent, and absolutely does not want the job

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

He’ll do the job. He’s only going to work one night a week though…

Hey that's more than Trump worked his entire Presidency.

This statement has never been truer

Double edged sword. Jon would make a great President. But, I also bet he would be miserable doing the job and I would really hate to do that do him.

Especially is he is asked to do a drone strike.

Yes, I'd be okay with him, but Porter is an electable candidate. And she's willing to go a bit left of center.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Been saying that for years! PLUS! He can't even use the excuse that it'll turn his hair grey, because, well, c'mon Jon. It's time to look in a mirror. That ship has sailed.

Seems like an interesting guy, and fits my two basic criteria: not being a geriatric and being a reasonable person. I've limited my expectations to avoid disappointment :'D
