Per source, c, host of the Young Turks will announce a Democratic primary bid against Joe Biden tonight. One major obstacle to Uygur's longshot presidential bid is that he is a naturalized citizen and thus ineligible under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

Sorry it may have not made it clear. I meant Uygur's is synonymous with a-hole, if it wasn't

Fun fact: He's constitutionally ineligible to be President since he was born in Turkey.

(52,738 posts)2. He is not eligible. He was born in Turkey, as stated in the OP.

or notoriety?
This is dumb.

(52,738 posts)24. Cenk is an attention whore IMHO
Dorian Gray
(13,841 posts)25. I hope this announcement
gets all the attention it deserves.

And he's a major a-hole.

Elessar Zappa
(16,381 posts)6. Well, it's a non-starter because he's ineligible.
brush
(61,033 posts)17. Didn't Cruz run at one time? He was born in Canada.

But, will this be pointed out by our breathless, often clueless MSM?
We need another arrogant a'hole to run (and in this case a horrible misogynist, former bullying machismo-driven conservative twerp and a Turkish immigrant who denies the Armenian genocide?)
Ummm, no. But will someone kindly point out to him that he is ineligible unless his entire bio is wrong?

I am generally for full Democratic participation, but this is no time for fucking around, period. So lets say this guy and Bobby J take JUST ENOUGH votes to push 2 or 3 battlegrounds to the Orange Anus, then what have you accomplished boys? Tell me? Oh, maybe the pure end of American Democracy. trump is the most dangerous person in the history of this nation to get levers of power, we should do EVERYTHING we can to prevent this guy from ever getting back to 1600 PA Avenue.
But thanks for playing Bobby and Cenk. When our nation becomes a fascist authoritarian state maybe we can send you some free tee-shirts.
