wait what do we know about the dust? (I’m not american)

[u/sexykristinith → u/Emotional-Ad9114]

The dust caused cancer. Lots and lots of cancer.

[u/shellbullet17 → u/sexykristinith]

Cancer that killed a good majority of the firefighters that survived. Funding that was attempted to be cut by mitch McConnell and Mike Johnson only to be defended by, of all people, the amazing Jon Stewart

*Jon Stewart

The one with the H in his name is the Green Lantern.

[u/shellbullet17 → u/Shantotto11]

Awwww beans you're right lemme fix that

[u/Space_Vaquero73 → u/shellbullet17]

Well they are both superhereos so it's understandable.

[u/Shantotto11 → u/Space_Vaquero73]

The most valid takeaway.

[u/CrazyHorseWakaWaka → u/Shantotto11]

Of all the celebrities, this is the one guy I respect. He fought for those that those in power decided were inconveniences to be swept aside and forgotten.

[u/SpotweldPro1300 → u/CrazyHorseWakaWaka]

If any Stewart should get a Green Lantern ring, it's Jon.

[u/No_Recognition_3729 → u/Space_Vaquero73]

Jon Stewart is better than a superhero. He advocates for actual change rather than maintaining the status quo.

"awwww beans" lol i'm gonna steal that man. that's adorable.

I read this comment in the barbarians voice. Thank you for this

was not expecting this thread to have a Green Lantern reference 😭

[u/Shantotto11 → u/Emotional-Ad9114]

I was. Jon Stewart is probably known second most for his advocacy for 9/11 survivors and first responders.

It took me years to figure out how to properly spell both of the their names correctly. I’ve been spelling GL’s name as “John Stuart” for longer than I care to admit.

[u/OriginalDavid → u/Shantotto11]

J'hon

[u/Shantotto11 → u/OriginalDavid]

No, that’s the detective from Mars. /s

[u/TheBKnight3 → u/Shantotto11]

From "Comedy Channel"

[u/Trips-Over-Tail → u/Shantotto11]

Our Jon is more deserving of the ring.

[u/VengeanceKnight → u/Trips-Over-Tail]

DC’s John would agree.
