If against Trump, The Rock would win in a landslide.

Due to his ties (father is a Nova Scotian), a big plus for Canada as well

Nia Hill, married to Bill Burr, gave Trump the double bird at a UFC event and the "f### your feelings" crowd are, predictably, having a collective conniption.

Most of those folks aren't likely clamouring for the Rock so much as they're clamouring to keep Trump out of the WH, and see Rock as having the best odds of doing that.

His CFL team was the Stampeders, he hung out at Singapore Sams and Unwinders in motel village before they cut him, he's been spotted vacationing in Cape Breton and visiting Ethan Hawke at his vacation home in mainland Nova Scotia.

Safe bet he already loves all of Canada

Michelle would trounce Trump but has no interest in the job. I’m not in favour of celebrities running for office but she’s one I would love to see run and take office.

Michelle is intelligent and has a ton of charisma. Her nomination as the Democratic nominee would really bring out the vote from both sides, so I really do wonder if she could win in the current environment. I feel like there's probably more voters in the US that would vote for her than against her, so it could work. The problem for the Dems with their other potential nominees is that they don't inspire their side to vote for them.

See this is why we need the Rock, he'd just step in and Rock Bottom this jabroni and the hearing would go on as scheduled.

Thinking because you go to the gym, you can take the Teamsters Union Leader in a fight... sure dude, who's next? The head of one of the New York mafia families?

I will admit I was impressed how he correctly counted to five... took a little while but still got there.

MAGA loves to troll but can't take it I guess so has to try and go with the might makes right path. The guy was on the news later saying Andrew Jackson challenged 9 people to a duel while president and knocked a guy out at a Whitehouse dinner, he says that needs to come back so people can have more respectful discussions on the issues because they know there'll be consequences for calling people names or poking at each other on Twitter.

I can't even.

In other news the new speaker passed a clean CR to fund the govt into early next year with the help of Dems. MAGA is upset of course since the new guy wasn't supposed to do that.

Apparently now human beings reach adulthood at the age of 82.

Markwayne Mullin is a former MMA fighter and appears to be absolutely massive. I think the teamster would be unconscious in 20 seconds or less.

Mullin comes across as a complete tool though, not very senatorial.

His offical record is 3-0, despite the 5-0 clalm. Two of those three wins are against the same tomato can who has a record of 1-11. So yeah, he's been in some mma matches, 16 years ago. And like his claims of being self made his mma experience is grossly exaggerated.
