GOD: "I just told Donald Trump, Jr. that I want him to be President."

ME: "Whaaaaaaaat?"

GOD: "Oh, trust Me, Betty. It's going to be HILARIOUS!"

Bet Ivanka is pissy about it though! Do you think Junior knows you cannot run for President from a prison cell?

5. Very funny! Thanks

[lindysalsagal]

2. Because the gop base is really that dumb.

[Gothmog]

6. You can run while in prison?

[crazycatlady]

7. He indicated he wanted to run for governor of NY in 2018

I would have loved to see Andrew Cuomo wipe the floor with him.

[smirkymonkey]

20. That just proves how dumb he is.

He doesn't have a chance in hell in that state.

[BlueStater]

8. And his qualifications are?

Wow, I know we made fun of Dubya for being a pampered daddy's boy who would have gotten nowhere in life without his father, but we truly had no idea. Has this chinless little shitweasel even had a job before?

9. Provided, of course, his parole officer allows him to.

...

[GoCubsGo]

23. I think you mean his warden?

It's going to be years before he is even up for parole.

10. President of Leavenworth Cell Block 6, maybe. Nt

[cornball 24]

11. In the words of the immortal Ralph Cramden, HAR HAR HARDY HAR HAR!

[dalton99a]

12. "My son is terrific. Tremendous qualifications. I endorse him to succeed myself or Ivanka"

"The Thinker"

[GoCubsGo]

25. What a fucking joke.

Check out the brand, spanking new boots. "Outdoorsman", my fat ass. He's a phoney, just like his asshole father.

[Vinca]

13. Could he do that from a prison cell?

[Retrograde]

31. It's been done before

Eugene V. Debs, early 20th century Socialist candidate for president, ran for president in 1920 while he was in jail.

14. Maybe we'll get lucky and the praetorian guard will murder Jr and install Eric in his place

Make way for Caligula!

[dalton99a]

18. The crazy asshole might just appoint Barron with Melania as regent

[ProudLib72]

22. Eric equals Elegabalus?

Elagabalus (/ˌɛləˈɡæbələs/), also known as Heliogabalus (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; c. 204 – 11 March 222), was Roman emperor from 218 to 222. In his early youth he served the god Elagabalus as a priest in Emesa, the hometown of his mother's family.

In 217, the emperor Caracalla was assassinated and replaced by his Praetorian prefect, Marcus Opellius Macrinus. Caracalla's maternal aunt, Julia Maesa, successfully instigated a revolt among the Third Legion to have her eldest grandson (and Caracalla's cousin), Elagabalus, declared emperor in his place. Macrinus was defeated on 8 June 218 at the Battle of Antioch. Elagabalus, barely 14 years old, became emperor, initiating a reign remembered mainly for sex scandals and religious controversy.

Later historians suggest Elagabalus showed a disregard for Roman religious traditions and sexual taboos. He replaced the traditional head of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter, with the deity Elagabalus, of whom he had been high priest. He forced leading members of Rome's government to participate in religious rites celebrating this deity, over which he personally presided. Elagabalus was supposedly "married" as many as five times, lavishing favours on male courtiers popularly thought to have been his lovers,[3][4] and was reported to have prostituted himself in the imperial palace. His behavior estranged the Praetorian Guard, the Senate, and the common people alike. Amidst growing opposition, Elagabalus, just 18 years old, was assassinated and replaced by his cousin Severus Alexander on 11 March 222, who ruled for 13 years before his own assassination, which marked the epoch event for the Crisis of the Third Century. The assassination plot against Elagabalus was devised by his grandmother, Julia Maesa, and carried out by disaffected members of the Praetorian Guard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus

Melanie might just have to get the Praetorian Guard to assassinate him! I guess the SS is the modern day equivalent of the Praetorian Guard.

15. Well, at least we'd know where he is every day...

in the cell, in the yard, etc.

Not too much golf or hunting in Leavenworth!

[tblue37]

16. Ivanka and Jared have a deal: she gets to be president first, then he gets his turn.

Does Junior go after Jared?

[kskiska]

17. I remember him saying when the last election was over

how it was kind of a letdown, since he had gotten so used to the thrill of campaigning. I guess that's why they continued the rallies (the best part). He also hinted back then how he had really gotten into politics and might run himself.

[Awsi Dooger]

19. I see that theme over the place on sports sites

Right wingers have a dream scenario of Trumps in the White House for 16 years or more. It is not a minor topic. It is persistent and they are absolutely serious.

I realize it sounds preposterous to nominate Trump Jr. but seemingly it is more preposterous for Republicans to shift from Donald Trump back to a more conventional politician.

They thrive in the lies and hate and fear.

[VOX]

21. Not to worry, America will be a smoldering cinder if 45 is re-elected in 2020.

Junior can declare himself Caesar over the pile of radioactive ashes.

[marble falls]

24. He could. If he's out of prison by then.

[NastyRiffraff]

26. I didn't know you could do that from prison!

It should be an "interesting" campaign.

[onecaliberal]

27. Will be difficult to do from behind bars.

[MontanaMama]

28. Maybe Uncle Vlad made a promise

to Jr. and he's buying it?

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. With Eric as his running mate?

[Blue Owl]

32. Vice President Gums

30. Not as a convicted felon
