Works for me: Jon Stewart For Debate Moderator.
Recent Bluessky Posts- I gather that Trump's name came off the Kennedy Center after the courts rejected the ridiculous 11th hour attempt (unhinged brief not signed by career lawyers) to block it, but the work was done behind a tarp to block the cameras. Missed opportunity to sell tickets; might have raised real money. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- There is: Reward your friends and those who pay you. Punish opponents and perceived enemies. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Seen at MIA in the TSA departures queue, this invitation to 'self-deport' in exchange for a $1000 per person and a free flight. Although I recall reading they don't necessarily deliver. In any case a sour taste for the start of international travel. June 13, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- In a strange way you almost could admire the Trumpies' leave-no-stone-unturned approach to graft. There is really no bottom. No limit. And justice is at best slow. June 12, 2026 Michael Froomkin

I agree wholeheartedly…the chief qualification for a moderator should be an inability to refrain from chuckling when appropriate, and Stewart’s the best at laughing at everyone in the wrong, regardless of party politics…if only GWB were more aware of the natural laugh track built into his speeches, who knows….
If nothing else, it would boost viewership. But I’d only support it if the debate ended with a “Back in Black” segment.
I hear ya, Mojo, but I doubt they could pull it off. I think Lewis Black is great, but if he listened to GWB in open debate his head would most likely explode before the second question.
