Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, now a host on Ora.TV, told me the way two political parties are behaving are making America a “laughingstock.”  He also said it’s odd they want to charge Bowe Bergdahl with a crime but not those who approved torture.  And, he hopes Elizabeth Warren runs for president.

COLMES: The Iranian deal, as you know, has been upfront in the news and the President, it seems like the deadline is near for them to agree to have a deal or not, you have 47 Senators sign a letter, Republican Senators trying to undermine the Executive Branch negotiating with a foreign power. I can’t imagine you’d support that.
VENTURA: Well you know to me Alan, if you look at the United States from outside the country like I do a great deal, we’re becoming a laughingstock. People are laughing at us at the ridiculousness of our two parties and how they behave with each other. They don’t put the United States first. they put their political party and their political agendas first…

COLMES: Do you think it was right to charge (Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl)?
VENTURA: I just find it very interesting that they want to charge Bergdahl but nobody’s charging the torture people? How come we swept the torture people under the rug? How come we didn’t follow the torture all the way up to who sanctioned it, who were two guys we had in the White House?

    As usual Jessie is right on the money…We are the laughing stock among nations…Take a good look around and you’ll see how far we have fallen….A nation of partisan fools

    Jesse, still my all-time favorite (sorry, Hulkster) professional wrestler, hits it out of the park again.

    I for one would love to see him moderate a GOP prez-wannabe debate, just for the pleasure of seeing him call BS on everyone.

    What??? Just NOW we’re the laughing stock??? I thought that started back when we elected that notorious moron Ron “Bonzo Goes to College” Reagan.

      it did – but the satire and fun being had in the world today is mostly at the expense of the right wing loonies. Some being directed at usa politics in general but mostly a western world totally baffled that the usa has idiots like cruz and company in front of a camera. We do get some chuckles but not guffaws. You folks a dangerous.

    That picture makes him look like Marley’s ghost.

    Isn’t it funny that the ex-wrestler and ex-governor from MN is a lot more in tune with reality than the ex-preacher and ex-governor from AK?

    Tonight on the WWF – The Body meets The Ethical Blackhole in a title match, right here in the squared circle! But first, a word from our sponsors…

    It’s always a pleasure to experience Mr. Ventura, very insightful and quick witted.

    Says the man in the feather boa… Sad thing is he’s spot on. Not just about this but about a lot of things. Sometimes he’s too extreme, an alarmist, and that overshadows the times where he is absolutely 100% correct.
