    Yeah, she gets a little overboard at times, but it all comes from the right place in her heart. She kept a fairly low profile (comparatively speaking) over the past couple decades, but she’s always been doing good things. I don’t know that I’d want her in any position that required significant diplomacy and tact, but I’d definitely back her if she ever wanted to do anything political.

      I find it genuinely concerning that Americans are more frequently looking towards entertainers for civic leadership.

      Allowing democracy to fully become a popularity contest is an overlooked, and IMO underweighted contributor to the problems they’re facing.

        I’m not looking for any particular background, but rather the type of person someone is. The fact celebrities are inevitably more well-known than obscure local politicians probably has much more to do with the effect you’re probably conflating than anyone deliberately looking just for celebrities to lead.

        Well, yea, but this is a human thing. Not an American thing. The president of Ukraine is an entertainer should we go through the rest of the world?

      What could be more tactful and diplomatic than saying “You brought me back — just like you did with fascism and the measles.”

      It’s so brilliant.

      I almost wish she didn’t keep a low profile and kept picking at Trump to distract him from all the other crap he’s trying to push him.
