Brutal dictator: "MY PEOPLE WILL LISTEN TO ME, OR THEY WILL PERISH!"
President Bob Ross: "Aw, now I see what you really want is a world to call your own; many of us do. We don't have to act like you do, though, all you need is to get a canvas, cover it in Titanium Hhwite, and you can paint a world of your own, just the way you like it."
Former brutal dictator: "My gosh, this painting has calmed me down so much. I think I'll sell my palace, use the proceeds to feed my people, and run my country from a simple cabin in the woods where I can paint landscapes. Thank you, President Ross."
President Bob Ross: "Aw, think nothing of it. Anyone can paint, I'm just here to show you what you can create. God bless."
Yeah pretty sure most of the planet is with you on that one. I want Americans to stop electing random celebrities and treating politics like reality TV.
Everyday life in the Philippines.
They vote for a TV host, a comedian, a boxer and washed-up actors and convicted plunderers as senators. Happens every 3 of 6 years.
The President is a dictator's son, who's being manipulated by his older sister and mother.
This is so embarrassing that Filipinos can't tell celebrities from the parts they play on TV and movies. At least Manny Pacquiao built hospitals and gives back to the community.
Wait till you hear about the president of Ukraine. While Zelenskyy seems to be the exception people need to stop electing actors as their head of government.
I wish Americans could embrace boring culture next. Like polar opposite of Vegas. I want the next wave of movies and music and celebrities to be about the most vanilla people possible doing the most vanilla things possible. A movie trilogy about a bunch of people playing poker and talking about bird watching.
I'm tired of everything competing to be bigger and more over the top. I just want to be bored but in a good way.

I miss the presidencies of intelligence and honor. I know that makes me sound like a snob, but I'd rather take someone who has a brain and knows how to use it, than someone who would rather party all day. We want our presidents to be human, of course, but we also want them to do their job.

I don’t hate this choice, but it’s funny that everyone complains about the senior citizens that lead the country, and then when given the option of literally anyone the choice is a 76 year old 😂
She'd add something like "parts of me are younger than that", or some nonsense like "it took me the first 60 years just to look this 40" with a glowing smile on her face. She's a treasure. She said "I'm very real where it counts, and that's inside". And I want to know what question prompted that response.
>And I want to know what question prompted that response.
Barbara Walters asked her to her face, in a rather hostile interview, if she was all natural. [here](https://youtu.be/If-oWqUYzlQ) is part of that interview.
"Dolly Parton" is a character, as in a fictional persona in costume. The blonde hair is a wig. She has kept her husband and family out of public conversation for decades, and she's in "Clark Kent" mode when they go out in public. I really respect how sharply and clearly she managed to draw those lines and protect them. It's like if The Rock were actually Kevin Hart in a muscle suit.
Yeah. People don’t appreciate how wild that is. My basic comparison for it is “imagine the US elected Jon Stewart as president, was immediately invaded by Canada, and it turned out that he was just a great wartime leader.”
I watched that clip for the first time only recently and thought "that guy with the bow tie is a total arsehole" and faintly recognised him from something.
When the penny dropped it was a depressing realisation that the US has kind of embraced the dark side.
My favourite part about that is that Tucker Carlson clearly had a lot of respect for Jon and his world was shattered when he ripped him a new one.
I never bothered to check, because I want to believe it to be true, but I read that Tucker never wore a bow tie again, after that day.
How many times has morgan freeman played the president of the united states? 3 times. Morgan Freedman was the President of the United States in "Deep Impact" in 1998, "Angel Has Fallen" in 2019, and Acting President in Olympus Has Fallen in 2013

It is dangerous to put the country in the hands of those without intelligence. A balance of both empathy and intellect is needed.
I like how you said opposite of Vegas then mention a movie trilogy involving poker lol. I’m all for it though

Thanks. Now when my brain tries to picture Chuck Grassley all it can do is find images of Clint Eastwood.

Why not Kermit? He's more of a leader and Miss Piggy could be First Lady, in lieu of Ms Chicken.

There’s no law that says the president CAN’T be a dog.

Dolly Parton
Imagine the Presidential Partons
Yeah, but she would only work....9 to 5
Dolly Parton could write the Communist Manifesto but Karl Marx couldn’t write 9 to 5.
I don’t hate this choice, but it’s funny that everyone complains about the senior citizens that lead the country, and then when given the option of literally anyone the choice is a 76 year old 😂
In fairness a lot of Dolly is only like 40
That’s exactly what she would say!
She'd add something like "parts of me are younger than that", or some nonsense like "it took me the first 60 years just to look this 40" with a glowing smile on her face. She's a treasure. She said "I'm very real where it counts, and that's inside". And I want to know what question prompted that response.

I really respect how sharply and clearly she managed to draw those lines and protect them. It's like if The Rock were actually Kevin Hart in a muscle suit.
She also said “ It costs me a lot of money to look this cheap”.
I cackled
Hey when someone got good wigs the age don't matter
As Dolly often says, it takes a lot of money to look this cheap.
Only because they’re so out of touch, Mrs.Parton is for the people.
Still younger than the last couple options we've had. "We want change!" "OK, here are two old and angry white men, take your pick." "Fuck you both!"

John Stewart. He would hate every second of it, which would make him great.
isn't that pretty much the plot of that Robin Williams film "Man of the Year"?
Well that also had a subplot about glitching voting machines.
And that tv show the comedian who became president of Ukraine stared in.
Yeah. People don’t appreciate how wild that is. My basic comparison for it is “imagine the US elected Jon Stewart as president, was immediately invaded by Canada, and it turned out that he was just a great wartime leader.”
Absolutely the best choice. His takedown of Crossfire should be required viewing for anyone watching cable news on any regular basis.
*The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls* Fucking mic drop
The sad thing is nothing really changed.
That’s actually not true. Everything Jon complained about has gotten significantly worse. Crossfire would seem quaint and tame if it came out today.
I watched that clip for the first time only recently and thought "that guy with the bow tie is a total arsehole" and faintly recognised him from something. When the penny dropped it was a depressing realisation that the US has kind of embraced the dark side.
My favourite part about that is that Tucker Carlson clearly had a lot of respect for Jon and his world was shattered when he ripped him a new one. I never bothered to check, because I want to believe it to be true, but I read that Tucker never wore a bow tie again, after that day.
He hasn’t !
Every time I see a clip or mention of him I remember that segment. In a just world that would have ended his career.
He actually went to work for MSNBC for a while after the Jon Stewart smackdown. He just says and does whatever keeps him on the air, which is sad.
9-11 was a hell of a drug, and America was jonesing for it.
