If it gets that poisonous toad out the Whitehouse I'm all for it.

Not sure how serious this is for now.

Just what America needs - a real strong man. I think St Segal would certainly be able to deal with the Freedom Caucus. Them old bones snap easily.

I think he'd be alright. I certainly think he'd be better than that putrid sack sitting in The White House now who clearly takes a perverse glee out of shitting on the opposition and doesn't have any interest in bi-partisan compromises. I don't think he'd drive division and hatred. In fact The Rock is liked across the board.

Let's face it. Trump needs to be ended. Only the incurably stupid don't believe so. And I think The Rock is the one to do it. I think he's a better show man than Trump and is the perfect 'good guy's to Trump's pantomime villain.

Trump is the worst President in history. If nothing else, The Rock physically cannot get any lower.

He's a charming guy to be sure - and with Segal as his running mate there can only be one outcome.

I like the Rock. He seems pretty intelligent and caring for a guy who could rip your head off and shit down your throat. He's also a man-god. Rock for Prez, Terminator for Veep!

One day, perhaps, major nation states will decide to have a ruler with a science or technology background instead of movie stars... :tea:

Or better still a person who really doesn't want the job. Wanting it should be an automatic disqualification.

Why the fuck not? We'd need a constitutional amendment for The Terminator as VP, but lets DO IT.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I reckon Hugh Jackman as Wolverine would make a good Prez. Can a furriner (let alone another species) be Prez?

His father is Canadian and his mother is Samoan, so I'm questioning his birth certificate.

I would like him to run with Kid Rock (perhaps a Senate candidate in his own right) as running mate for VP. Then the ticket would be "The Rock/Kid Rock 2020." Campaign slogans would be "Let's Rock the White House," with the theme song "Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy."
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
