    SNL spoofed this with Tom Hanks as VP.

    If you haven't seen the movie Idiocracy, you should because it is our future. The idea of The Rock being POTUS is a big step in that direction.

    Great.  Our country is one big fucking "reality" show.  Apparently we haven't learned from Reagan and Trump that celebrities don't belong in the god damned White House.

    One thing for sure, The Rock if he becomes President he won't have to worry about his hair going grey.

    This is what I worry about. Our country set the bar so low with the current person holding office, it's not out of the realm of possibility that another unqualified dope gets elected and further accelerates our fall from grace.

    That bar is so low now, we also shouldn't be surprised if the night manager at some suburban gas station becomes president.

    It is officially going to turn in to a reality show. Trump will resign to bring the country the celebrity "President".

    This is what we deserve after 20 years of non-stop reality TV (Survivor, Big Brother, Kardashians, Nick & Jessica, etc.) and 10 years before that with shit news (A Current Affair, Inside Edition, Hard Copy, etc.) and daytime talk show craziness (Jerry Springer, Geraldo, Jenny Jones, etc.). Stupid fucking people just eat it up and don't consider the effect it has. If a fucktard like Trump can get elected than so could any of the people from the shows I just listed.

    Sorry for my crass language, but c'mon USA, get it together!

    Hey, Survivor is solid TV - it's the only real reality show in existence. None of that is staged or faked .... Sooooo..... Jeff Probst for POTUS!! :murica:;)

    to be clear, the Rock didn't necessarily file for the 2020 campaign. some other dude whose ties to him are unclear did. 

    The paperwork was filed on behalf of the actor by a West Virginian man named Kenton Tilford, according to The Hill, whose ties to Johnson are unclear at present.

    Some Americans are right.  They have become what they love. Reality TV.  The rock has a serious chance right now and President Trump would not even insult him.  "The Rock is a great guy, a tremendous guy and I would be honoured to turn my Presidency over to this man" he would say.

    Yes, I noticed that, and I have been waiting for a statement from The Rock (Jesus... a potential nominee for POTUS is called The Rock. So ridiculous). I wonder why he isn't clarifying anything? Strange.

    It is WAY better than Trump, The Donald, whatever you call him. A semi-reasonable person named Shit Burger Bunghole would be better than anything about Trump. Still, I'd really rather not use Trump as any kind of measuring stick, lol. ;)

    Kid Rock isn't as stupid as I thought he was ...

    "F--- no I'm not running for Senate, are you f---ing kidding me?" he told Stern. "Who couldn't figure that out?"
