Let’s Talk @johngiordano.bsky.social · 15/11/2025As a coach, I’m trained to look and listen to identify what drives people. Megyn Kelly is a broken, sad individual who masks that sadness in contempt and superiority. That doesn’t justify her ghoulishness, but take a minute to ask what a woman must have experienced in life to justify child rape. 020
Let’s Talk @johngiordano.bsky.social · 05/11/2025When Geraldine Ferraro ran for VP, people asked if I supported her because she’s also Italian American & shares a family surname.

Let’s Talk @johngiordano.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Cuomo is to the Yankees as Mamdani is to the Mets. Cuomo is to Quake as Mamdani is to Quisp. Cuomo is to Goofus as Mamdani is to Gallant. Cuomo is to Goliath as Mamdani is to David. To anyone under 55, look them up. To everyone, vote for the guy who fights for the underdog. #mamdani 020
Let’s Talk @johngiordano.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Philosopher Richard Rorty would have agreed. He thought conversation in a democracy included shaming and embarrassing those whose anti-democratic statements demean or harm others.

Let’s Talk @johngiordano.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Stewart & Colbert aren’t comedians. Theyre political satirists who understand that telling truth to power requires a veil of humor. Stewart is an incisive critic. Whether he can succeed as a politician is up for grabs. The celebrity factor does seem, strangely, right. zeteo.com/p/should-jon...zeteo.comShould Jon Stewart Run for President in 2028?I was skeptical about a Stewart candidacy, but maybe ‘The Daily Show’ host is the right person to shake up the Democratic presidential primaries. 040
