He'd never do it but Ken would probably be the best president you could dream up. You want rank meritocracy based on test scores, then here you go. The Debate Me guys sure would shut the fuck up right quick. - ThreadSky

Man is also a respectable-type Mormon (imho among the most chill versions of a sincere Christian family man) and speaks Spanish.

artmajor.bsky.social•14 days ago

lol
I did NOT see that coming.

He was honestly my first thought when "who's the Rogan of the left?" popped up yesterday.

Pete Buttigieg is right there

ancienthippie.bsky.social•14 days ago

Liberals always seem to vote in the smart guys. Kennedy, Obama. I think it was Kennedy who read the New York times cover to cover every morning and was a speed reader? Yeah, we need some smarts as well as some kindness and some personal ethics. Yeah for superpowers!

Based.

i do want a president that hates businessmen

enantiodromeda.bsky.social•14 days ago

I almost lost my damned mind trying to get the bluesky video player to pause on the first frame so I could read it, which is apparently impossible.

Philosopher-king material

A mormon with outstanding memory for trivia is better than Trump, but the bar is as low as it can be set.

kablackquois.bsky.social•14 days ago

Debate guys will never shut up

Ah, this clip makes me like @kenjennings.bsky.social even more. TY.

justahousewife.bsky.social•14 days ago

The crux of humanity's problems. Highly ethical intelligent people who are well-adjusted usually don't pursue power with dogged focus.

Ken / Khan 2028

allaboutchemist.bsky.social•14 days ago

The problem with "smart" as your identity is that the press is just waiting for you to make a single mistake. "Loudmouth buffoon" meanwhile seems to be an impenetrable shield.

speerfissure.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ken for President!

fontaine99.bsky.social•13 days ago

Jennings and Buttigieg would make for an interesting debate. Except they'd probably agree on everything.

nslayton.bsky.social•14 days ago

I've said it before but if we really want a good presidential election, make every single candidate face off in a government and current events-focused Jeopardy episode before each debate. The one trusted source people won't question the facts on.

ihavenodomain.bsky.social•14 days ago

For all of the bitching in America about verifying voter citizenship, I want us to start verifying candidate intelligence instead. Like, you need to pass a fucking civics test before you can run for office. So many idiots will be made illegible.

seearekay.bsky.social•14 days ago

So…Pete Buttigieg?

nslayton.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ewww no. Not the guy who worked for a company that fixed bread prices.

seearekay.bsky.social•13 days ago

And yet he would be one of the finalists for your Democracy in Jeopardy Tournament.

becklo.com•14 days ago

Shocked no one has brought up the time he defended Bean Dad.

jfd8.bsky.social•14 days ago

Jennings also showed integrity, generosity, and fiscal foresight when he gave an easy $200 to guy at minus $600 because Ken knew the joke would give forever.

phidphriend.bsky.social•14 days ago

He’s Mormon so he’s very likely just publicly acting normal and if you catch him alone he will say and do something fucked up. I will absolutely never vote for an active Mormon for anything the same way I won’t vote for an active Scientologist. Also he’s still friends with bean dad.

yerrmom.bsky.social•14 days ago

I didn't see the video at first, and I thought this post was referring to Ken, as in Ken & Barbie.

cvilletgr.bsky.social•14 days ago

But first he needs to help send Pat Sajak to the gulags.

Anyway, quite the comment thread on that OG post.

wscotgrey.bsky.social•14 days ago

Love Ken, and he’d be an incredible advisor, but I’m afraid his religion keeps him right of center.

leupp.bsky.social•14 days ago

Tired: Primary Debates
Inspired: Primary Jeopardy Tournament

karensgold.bsky.social•14 days ago

That would definitely be an improvement. “Debates” in their current format are excruciating.

kielgookin.com•13 days ago

Wait maybe we found the liberal Joe Rogan.

phileinstein.bsky.social•14 days ago

But he was defeated by an AI 14 years ago.

eric2718.bsky.social•14 days ago

He's still the best player in Jeopardy history.

katendgame.bsky.social•14 days ago

Wait, i love him immediately.

freefran.bsky.social•13 days ago

caseylangwith.bsky.social•14 days ago

Also he’s so nice! My friend was on Jeopardy—and won!—and he was so kind to all the contestants.

wrycke.bsky.social•14 days ago

He was nice as a competitor too. He told me I was faster on the buzzer than most of his opponents even though I don't think I actually was

eric2718.bsky.social•14 days ago

I talked to him at a book signing, and he was very nice.

titonka.bsky.social•14 days ago

"Dude he knows TRIVIA. Whatever. He's smart but he doesn't have COMMON SENSE." <<< the argument, i promise

surfacemaximus.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, those guys can not, will not shut up

midnightdorifto.bsky.social•14 days ago

maybe…but what happens when they find out that he’s also a consummate podcaster?

That's so optimistic!

The Debate Guys will *never* shut the fuck up. Remember the old rhyme - As long as there exists an opinion contrary, a Debate Guy is there at the ready.

alexiacharlotte.bsky.social•13 days ago

Well, actually...

artmoreorless.bsky.social•14 days ago

Mina Kimes would like a word. She came up as a business reporter working for Bloomberg before jumping to ESPN.

And she graduated summa cum laude from Yale. If a C student at Yale can be president, well then.
