    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.
