Not surprising but Republicans in Ohio are seemingly just going to ignore the voting on abortion and do what they want.

We win = election fair.

Apparently there is a big push from the Democrats for Dwayne The Rock Johnson to run.. No I am not kidding.

Straight from The Rock himself. And we all know legally speaking he’s unable to tell a lie much like George “The Animal” Washington. Also it seems it was allegedly both parties

“That was an interesting poll that happened and I was really moved by that,” Johnson told Noah on his What Now? podcast [per Insider]. “I was really blown away and I was really honoured. I’ll share this little bit with you: at the end of the year in 2022, I got a visit from the parties asking me if I was going to run, and if I could run.”
Guess it was a year ago too. But that’s juicy mmm

I heard he is considering it if they show him they are serious. We all know the presidency is about popularity, he would probably run away as the winner lol.

As if we don't all want to see this at the debate:

The Rock to Biden/Trump: "Tell me something, sir, what is your name?"
Biden/Trump: "Well my name is..."
The Rock: "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!"

If The Rock became president and simply just listened to the smarter people around him, he would probably be pretty decent. He could be a real life Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho

The Rock actually has empathy for people and treats others with respect. I’m not sure that meets the GOP’s required skillset.

The "Rock" persona aside, Dwayne Johnson seems like a reasonably intelligent person, and he is obviously charismatic and supports good causes. I don't know how much he knows about politics or the world in general though.

He's also got a massive ego. Not sure that's a great thing for a President.

And he’s in character 100% of the time. His laugh is more forced than that old will smith laugh. I’m a huge fan of the wrestler, actor, etc… but this is crazy. And unsurprising.

It's just amazing that a country that had a 35-year run with FDR, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson as Presidents is now choosing between Trump and Biden, with some people clamouring for The Rock.

Only people who can bring America back together are Oprah as President and Maury Povich as VP.

Every Maury show left the guests divided.

Either the man was happy he wasn't the father and the woman was angry; or the woman was happy she confirmed the baby daddy, and the man was upset.

Great to see the devolving of democracy into a reality show is still well under way.

George Conway says Mar-A-Lago is a N.Y. LLC and therefore could be liquidated.
