    Looks like the first contender might be dipping his toe in the water:

    He’d be the second. Kanye has said he might take stab at it.

    Kanye or the rock? I know who I am voting for, and I am pretty sure I know the republicans will be electing their first stable musical black genius candidate.

    Is the Rock a natural American citizen? He's Samoan, isn't he? To Wikipedia!!

    Edit - Yup, born in California! Good to go. :techman:

    Nah, I think the Rock is just calling out the failed reality television star who's currently occupying the White House.

    He certainly did a good job of it, though.

    2024 predictions? How about... President Mitch McConnell? I mean, if we're going to fuck shit up let's go all-in.

    Assuming a turtle can legally run for president, that is. If not let's just go with Kanye.

    I was thinking that maybe I'll run for president myself in 2024. But looking at the current crop of candidates, I guess I'm not old enough. Better wait until I'm about 80, to be sure.

    And in any case, I would hate to have to live in the US all the time for four years. Maybe I could just "check in" at the White House every once in a while, but pretty much run the country from France. At least I'd be able to get in touch with our European allies easily.

    You don't want to live in the US? The US sincerely thanks you and strongly supports your decision!

    Lol if you think the US as it exists today will still be around in 2024, much less having national elections.

    You'd probably spend more time in the Oval Office than Fatty McGolf Nut.

    This is true. Which is why I would hate it so much. :(
