President Oprah Winfrey?

Post by Forty Two » Mon Jan 08, 2018 5:48 pm

The unbiased NBC News thinks she'd be a great President!
“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

Jesus Christ on a fuckstick. If I wasn't already leaving the country I'd make plans now, before the rush.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Are we giving the quarter some serious thought yet? I'm telling you, it'd make a great president.

She wouldn't be the first African-American coke head to be elected President.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I'm voting Hayden. He's the man with the plan. :)

I don't see why not. Unlike President Fuckwit she actually is a self-made billionaire. She didn't get a fortune off daddy and squandered it on failed businesses before having to turn to reality TV like every other has-been loser on Celebrity Big Brother. Unlike President Fuckwit she knows how to listen to and understand people. Unlike President Fuckwit she's not a national embarrassment. Unlike President Fuckwit she's not a man-baby with no self control. And unlike President Fuckwit she probably isn't a serial sexual harasser and rapist.

But just like fuckwit, she's a complete gobshite. (which Americans like)

Who could possibly predict how she would do? You need to look at the polls an hour before the vote. And even then, they could get it wrong.

My work mate is listening to this right now and it's driving him crazy. He's going mad about it.

If she can rile up all those Alt-Right fools (check the comments, she already has) and make them expose themselves I think she'll do alright.

I'm afraid Oprah Winfrey is one of the last women on Earth that could make me expose myself. :|~

I reckon she'll run.
Most people would think twice about paying the price of loss of privacy and anonymity, and having to have protection for the rest of their lives. But she's already paying that price. It can't get much worse, so she might as well go for it.
Maybe Hillary's experience will put her off though.

Hillary's mistake was to try to act all assertive like a man. Michelle would probably win, if she resisted the temptation to appear something she's not. That would be my advice. Just be yourself, and you might well win.
