    I don’t usually watch late night American shows but can never skip this dudes rant clips. I wonder if he thinks of having a stab at politics or maybe his mission is just better serves as a show host.

      The one time he got directly involved in politics, he berated Congress into covering medical expenses for 9/11 first responders. I doubt he wants to serve as an actual politician though.

      • Homes that’s not a one-time thing. He’s been fighting for that for years and still does.

        He has said he has no interest or qualification for politics, that his role is as a comedian.

        I think he’s wrong. He is very qualified, as is Al Franken.

          Al Franken was a great politician, one of the last ones to feel actual shame and remorse. Resigned because of a dumb joke whilst in the company of marines, should’ve stayed, but I bet he’s happier being out of it 😥

        Something Musk cut again. I’m amazed how despite doing stuff like that Republicans keep getting elected. Seems like an easy attack ad to cut.

      I actually have this shirt. I think he would be really good for US politics, but I can respect that he also doesn’t want to be involved (outside of his 9/11 activism, of course).
