Can we just cut the crap and make Morgan Freeman president?

At least in the world in the movie "London Has Fallen"? He's practically the president anyways. And if he were the president in real life - think of how awesome the SOTUs would be! Congress would handily listen to anything he says!

The world always seems to be ending or on the verge of collapse when he's in office.

Are you trying to get us hit with a damned comet.

"Bernie Sanders is one of the very few politicians in national politics who has not been generally corrupted by Washington. Just like Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption, he swam through a river of shit and came out clean."

Come to think of it, I guess the SOTU addresses would be like bathing in melted caramel. Hell, sign me up.

Cover all our bases with such a ticket. Freeman for the compassion and policy and Jackson for national security. NOBODY would fu*k with us.
