In some alternate timeline Franken is president, that seems like a much more fun timeline.

No doubt, that timeline would be fun to see.
But I don't think Al Franken even believes in his own political ability as much as Mutata does. At least not the Al Franken in this reality.

I think Franken will take a run actually. I don’t think it’s an accident that he’s been all over the news lately.

Newsom will run if Biden doesn’t and he’s way more likely to get the nomination.

Oh good, so Franken in our reality can become the thing he hates by believing in his own growing legend, and directly lead to another republican presidency by running as an independent and vote splitting moderates. Sounds like the reality I am familiar with again.

I just like how he starts his podcasts. Always some variation of "Today we've got a good one.. you know.. for a change."

I dunno why but his deadpan delivery always makes me chuckle.

The top two GOP candidates are now both under criminal investigation.

Kidnapping may be a bit extreme, but at the very least, it's the very definition of human trafficking, no?

"Fradulant human trafficking" is exactly how one lawyer in Florida called it, as explained in this clip.

It's pretty gross how some Americans will treat people who aren't their own.

Some good news for those who might remember from a few weeks ago. Libs of Tik Tok (some channel) and Tucker Carlson successfully incited threats to the Boston Children's Hospital, saying that they were performing gender-affirming care for children which is a lie, bu the FBI were able to arrest the woman who made the call to the hospital with the bomb threat.

I don't know about that. The last interview I saw him not that long ago, he was pretty adamant that he would never get involved at that level again. I think he just enjoys being the one to tear down ridiculous MAGA people at this point.

Directing a disparaging remark at someone based on your assumptions about their character isnt a personal insult? If someone said something like that to me in room full if poeple Id be going after them with both barrels.

My interest was in pointing out at a garbage, zero content post that steers the conversation away from the topic at hand and into petty slap-fighting territory (much like your post here and now this one). I know a lot of you guys live for that, but I'd like to see less of it, and its worthwhile to ridicule that posting style from time to time, because its worthless garbage and we'd all be better off with less of it
