53. "We might have to draft a celebrity."
Fri Nov 3, 2017, 03:24 PM
Nov 2017

Can't be Clooney (Although he IS extremely bright, politically aware, socially conscious), because I have a friend whose sister's a big wig in the thuglican politics out here in California, and my friend tells me that her sister told her that thuglicans hate him so much, that they've already generated a dossier on him "allegedly" containing things about his sex/private life before his marriage to Amal. I hate saying this, but Dems can't be pussy-grabbers and win a presidency. thuglicans would shame them out of it for starters. Plus, with 2 small children/wife, he might not want to run for a political office or get caught up in the mess that's politics.

Now to be clear, my friend told me that her sister told her that there's a dossier on Clooney. The weight you give it's truthfulness However, something tells me that this dossier thing could be true. thuglicans fight and get down and dirty, and it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that there could be this dossier with a bit of truth in it but containing nasty lies, very nasty lies and nasty industrial filthy dirty lies about Clooney if he were to run for a high political office.
