He’s just learning about Kiev. And having some food.

I loathe Sean Penn. But I will acknowledge that he is indeed willing to risk his own safety unlike “brave” Kamala Harris or our Ice Cream Licker in Chief.

I hope he shoots off his mouth.
Inserts himself, physically, in Ukraine.

Putin will beech-slap this dung beetle.

I generally loathe celebrities, while not knowing who they are, but thanks to Bloom County, I know who this one is. He is an actor of some sort who was married to Madonna, was assaulted by a photographer, and sued either Kodak or Polaroid (at least in the Comic Strip).

If he has done anything of greater importance that makes it so that I should care what he has to say, please fill me in.

If there is to be only one casualty in this war, one could likely do worse.

Though we do need more statesmen, if you know what I mean.

His big break was playing a high-school stoner.
His portrayals went downhill from there.

“A lot of empty seats in the pictures”

And at least one empty head in the front row

Quick, get him to an anti-aircraft gun. Posing on those always helps actors’ careers

Sure would be a shame if he became a casualty of war...

I wish he had told that vulture to take a walk. My opinion of Zelensky would’ve risen.

He’s actually been in some pretty decent movies...although not necessarily for his contribution.

Mystic River comes to mind.

I remember that. There was barely enough water in it for themselves. Then they forgot to put in the drain plug.
