>The Ephebians believed that every man should have the vote (provided that he wasn’t poor, foreign, nor disqualified by reason of being mad, frivolous, or a woman). Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch with the view of the ordinary philosopher in the street looking for a towel. And then five years later they elected another one just like him, and really it was amazing how intelligent people kept on making the same mistakes.
I think you need four years in Congress to be eligible for a pension. So if he can hang on for a second term, not only does he stand a good chance of continuing on, but he then gets retirement benefits.
Given his reputation, are we sure? I feel like we need two notaries and submitted fingerprints to confirm.
He already reached EGOT fame, directed the highest grossing movie ever, and broke a Guinness world record before breakfast (again). He doesn’t have time to file paperwork.

At first I thought this meant he was running for president and frankly I was only 50% shocked at best.

Is he using a stage name this time?

Looking at this pragmatically, why wouldn’t he? What does he have to lose? What job will he ever get AFTER this?

I fucking HATE our political system, you need more credentials to work at a fucking gamestop then to be a politician now lol

I hope they get him on money laundering, his finances seem more made up than his credentials.
