"Thank you, thank you my fellow Americans. ([crowd laughs]) Well, the fact of the matter is, I believe America needs a true leader, a leader who will represent you, the American people. While I may be a little late to enter the race, I am confident we have the momentum going forward. I'm not a politician and I'm proud of it. America needs a new leader for a new century. So, I am officially running ([crowd cheers]) for President of the United States! ([crowd cheers])"

Yang is seen as an outsider against the two frontrunners, Governor David Ige of Hawaii and former Attorney General Lori Swanson of Minnesota. In his campaign speech, Yang announced plans to implement universal basic income as well as nationwide broadband internet.

How did Rocky De La Fuente manage to pull off a Senate win in Florida?

[Dr. MB]

How did Rocky De La Fuente manage to pull off a Senate win in Florida?

He beat Rick Scott in the primary in a very surprising victory (as Scott was focusing all his campaign on the general, stupidly ignoring the primary) and won over many Democrats, and Cubans and Puerto Ricans to defeat Bill Nelson 55-45.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

I voted for Roque de la Fuente.

On August 16, 2019, a false missile alert was sent out to the entire United States, until it was cleared up 59 minutes later.


Presidential Candidate Jeff Boss Speech, August 16, 2019
"As you already know, a few hours ago an incoming missile alert was sent out to the whole United States. The government and military both claim not to know the cause. But, I have insider knowledge of this. David Ige sent out the alert in order to stage a military coup of the US government and would've been successful if it had been active for only a few minutes longer. He's been falling in the polls, and I've been rising. And, this isn't the first time something like this has happened: we all remember the Hawaii missile alert of last year. David Ige's a threat to all of us and must be physically eliminated."







August 20, 2019: First Democratic Debate

Holder - Conyers - Crist - Boss - Ige - Yang - Schultz - Swanson - Delaney - Edwards

Moderators: Cenk Uygur and Ed Krassenstein

Uygur: Governor Ige, what do you have to say about the allegations that you sent out a false missile alert in order to engineer an overthrow of the US government?

Ige: I did not send out a false missile alert in order to engineer an overthrow of the US government. That was a lie completely fabricated by Mr. Boss, who, with all due respect, is a well-known promoter of wacky conspiracy theories.

[Crowd boos]

Boss: That's fake news. You know full well that you were paid by the Russians to be their puppet and overthrow the government. Take off your mask, Dave, I'm not stupid, I can see your scales.

[Crowd cheers] Jeff! Jeff! Jeff! Jeff!

Krassenstein: Mr. Yang, as we all know President Trump and Pence have been insofar unsuccessful in their efforts to curb illegal immigration. So, what is your plan?

Yang: I will reduce the number of illegal Mexican immigrants to 0 by annexing all of Mexico.

[Crowd applauds]

Former Presidents Scramble to Endorse
Ex President Barack Obama has given his endorsement of former Michigan Congressman John Conyers for President of the United States. Obama's endorsement statement reads, "John Conyers is a massive FF who in his nearly 53 years in Congress always championed the people. I am very proud to give my total and complete Endorsement to such a wonderful American with such strong moral values. He will make an excellent President!" Conyers has now jumped to 3rd place in the polls following Obama's endorsement, behind frontrunner Andrew Yang and Jeff Boss.

Meanwhile, former President Jimmy Carter, who ruled out a presidential run of his own after "thoughtful and deep consideration", has endorsed frontrunner Andrew Yang. "Andrew represents the best qualities of any true American, and will provide a strong voice for the voiceless in the White House."

Ex-President Bill Clinton has so far declined to make an endorsement.

The Day of the Iowa Caucus
February 3, 2020


This is Anderson Cooper with CNN. Well, it's shaping up to be a huge day in Iowa with highly competitive primaries on both sides. On the Republican side, it's an essential tossup between President Pence, Courtland Sykes, and former Lt. Gov. of Kentucky Jenean Hampton. Hampton is trying to appeal to the establishment, Sykes to the white nationalist faction of the party, and Pence is attempting to bridge a gap in between. The more moderate Foster Friess is lagging behind, as are the President's own brother, Congressman Greg Pence, and left-wing Republicans Bill Kristol and John Kasich. On the Democratic side, Andrew Yang has a slight lead, but John Conyers is quickly bridging the gap. Former President Obama and 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton have heavily stumped for Conyers in recent weeks. One-time frontrunner Jeff Boss has taken a nosedive in polls since documents were released revealing past collaboration with Al-Qaeda.

Sykes, Conyers Win Iowa


Courtland Sykes and John Conyers have respectively won the Republican and Democratic Iowa caucuses. After dismal results, Democrats Howard Schultz, John Delaney, and Bob Iger have dropped out, as have Republicans Greg Pence (who endorsed Sykes) and Bill Kristol. Ex-Frontrunner David Ige also made a surprising comeback.

I’m assuming sexual assault allegations haven’t been placed on John Conyers? This is a crazy presidential race haha... Conyers would be 95 at the end of his first term were he to win.
