A man in Texas has legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else, that's in quotes, in order to run for president. He said that he made the change to highlight the fact that most Americans want anybody besides Biden or anybody besides Trump to be president for the next year. And he says, you know what? I look at the numbers, there's a lot of people that will vote for me. Go ahead.
I mean, if you really had him on all 50 state ballots and people just saw, oh, Literally Anybody, hell yeah, I'm gonna vote. This guy could become president if he were on all the ballots. And I do think that this is a humorous way, and to be honest, he's serious about it. He's filed with the FEC. But it's a humorous way to bring to light this big issue that we do have, which is.
300 million Americans.
Yeah. It doesn't matter who's ahead in the polls at any given point, all, not all, but most Americans still say, yeah, I'll vote for this guy over this guy, but I really don't want either of 'em. I want new people with new ideas because when you're running the same two people you did four years ago, those aren't new ideas. It's not a way to move the country forward. It's a way to either put us back to four years ago or continue what we've got. And everybody says we want new.
Yeah. He's coutning on the fact that what, 60% of the American public says, they're not at all enthusiastic about the choices they have. Not at all. He's saying, well, okay, have Biden, Trump, and Literally Anybody Else on the third rung, and I'm probably gonna get a lot of votes.
I imagine he would. Even writing in, which is one of the things he's actually encouraging people to do if he's not able to get full ballot access, is just write it in. Because now that that's my name, if you write it in, that could count as a vote towards him. So it's clever. It is very clever.
He's a disabled veteran. He is a veteran.
And a teacher.
And a teacher. The guy's not a nutcase. He actually understands there is that movement outside that says, wait a second, you got 300 million Americans and these two guys are our choice. Really? Farron Cousins, thanks for joining me. Okay.
Thank you.
That's all for this week. But all these segments are gonna be posted right here on this channel in the coming weeks, make sure you subscribe. I'm Mike Papantonio, and this has been America's Lawyer, where we tell you stories every week that corporate media can't tell you. They literally can't tell you because their advertisers won't let 'em, and they'll lose advertising dollars if they do. Or their political connections are so Democrat or so Republican that they can't even think about coloring outside the lines because they'll lose that influence. You know what? We color outside the lines every week here, and we hope you'll join us for that. See you next time.
Why in the hell can’t people see the good that Biden done for the country. Is it the media or just plain stupidity that trump has
Closed every one’s eyes
I prefer Biden over Trump that is for sure
Lol. This is perfect. Literally Anybody Else for president
I'd lover better, younger options. But if it is a choice between Biden and Trump, it's Biden by a landslide for me.
Time for the Brewster's Millions campaign slogan, NONE OF THE ABOVE.
Richard Pryor was hillarious
We in Britain have had "joke" candidates for years, such as "The Monster Raving Loony Party" and "Count Binface" who is a person who wears a waste bin on his head when canvassing. Count Binface stood in the Lodon Mayoral election last month and polled about 24k and finished 11 out of 13 candidates who stood.
Imagine being either of the candidates who did worse than a guy with a waste bin on his head.
@@princecharon One is a far right person who has got plenty of stick for finishing with about 4k less votes than Count Binface. The other is a strange guy who seems to be into conspitaby theories. He expected to finish last. Count Binface is suggesting that he might stand against prime minister Rishi Sunak at the forthcoming general election.
You have Lord Bucket-Head, we have Vermin Supreme who wears a boot on his head
@@jeremyofficer5038and speaking from Canada, I wish you guys would elect him. 😋
We still have the Rhinoceros Party up here too, to a certain extent. They’re our mostly joke party.
@Mr_T_Badger Vermin is actually a decent person. A bit goofey, but by and large believes in better policies than most major party candidates
Reminds me of a radio contest where one guy changed his name to 'Heywood Jablowmi'...
No surprise that Cousins' DNC cult would waste time on this stunt rather than discuss a serious alternative.
It's not just about who's president, it's about Congress and even SCOTUS. Unless someone becomes a dictator (ahem), they have to deal with both of those bodies and we've seen how that plays out with Biden and the current Congress (passing something like 22 laws sixteen months, and no budget, spending more time trying to find some reason, any reason, to impeach Biden and failing) and SCOTUS. I would suggest his time would be better spent running for the Governor Texas, instead.
There were apparently a fraction of voters like that and those people voted for Trump as a protest. I wonder how many people will vote for this guy.
yo Florida Man you got some competition here with Texas man
I wonder if he saw Brewster's Millions.
I think you can sum up the mood in the US in two words: Retire Boomers! As a member of Gen X, a lot of my generation are like Boomer 2.0. Personally, I can not wait to vote for younger people. I'd like to see Gen X bring back retirement. Let the young folks take it from here, and it just might work too. Apathy is like heroin to Gen X. We love not caring about shit
I’m a member of Generation Jones (born 1955-64) and I wish I could vote for younger people for office. We need new people and new and better ideas. I’m tired of all the old geezers stinking up the place. Give me someone under the age of 50 to vote for that I like and I’ll vote for them.
just keep in mind that folks who hate old people when they're young are usually the very same ones wo hate young people when they're old.
Well I've never been accused of being normal @@benthomason3307 Like I said, I love young people, and I'm in my 50s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Isn’t this just the plot from the Richard Pryor film “Brewster’s Millions”? He runs a campaign for mayor, to elect “None of the above”.
A _clever_ Texan!? 😳😳 Who knew? 🤷
Anybody else can go anywhere else, no Texans
With these advanced ages, new people will be coming sooner than we think.
That is AWESOME!!!!
well That's straight from Fargo series
Need to know his policies, like will he give as a pony like Vermin Love Supreme promised?
Cute joke, but ultimately, the fact of the matter is the blame for so many undesirable candidates goes to the voters. These people don't win their elections by narrow margins. They get the majority to vote for them and then everyone who voted for one or the other complains how bad they are. If you want better candidates, vote for better candidates. I would love to see a Raskin/Crockett ticket, but they aren't running and I think they are doing more good where they are right now, and that's fine. President Biden has been doing a great job and I have no objection to voting for him. I don't even think it's 'the lesser of two evils' this time around. It's a good president against a man who is pure corruption and evil.
Most of us do not want these geriatric failures!
I cannot believe this nation cannot put forth better candidates!
I could understand a week, but two entire months? Nobody checking in on the leading candidate before the election? No one wondering where she is during the vote count watch party?
How does this happen?
I don’t really think he’s shaking anything up. I saw his campaign website….and there’s very little policy proposals there. It seems to be more of an imitation of the Forward Party than anything substantial. Plus, changing your lrgal name to “Literally Anybody Else” just seems like an awful idea in practice….especially if you’re a teacher, as this guy says he is.
I think he chose "Lierally Anybody Else" rather than "Anybody Else" so he had a usable given name ("Lit", rather than "Any")
Found my candidate!
Knee slapper
That’s hilarious!
I like Biden!
Didn't he do this months ago..?
R.I.P. Deez nuts 2016
I'm voting for the guy that didn't add 7.8 trillion dollars to the deficit.
I'm voting for the guy that created more jobs than any president ever.
I'm voting for the guy that signed an infrastructure bill.
I'm voting for the guy that is trying to bring people together and not divided. I'm voting for the guy that's not beholding to Russia China Saudi Arabia in North Korea.
😂😂😂😂
Dude gets it.
President "Else".. sounds nice 🎉😂
Well thanks for this oh so important story...
I wish Joe wasn't Netanyahu's gofer.
He isn't. Certainly not to the degree you probably think he is. Some things just aren't that easily solvable. The only way for him to achieve what you want him to do, is send American troops into Israel, and MAKE Netanyahu stop. HE is the problem. Not Biden.
I wish the republicans who initially funded the Ukrainians didn't back pedal on their promises just because Biden is now president. And presidents don't decide if we help Israel or not, all they can do is speed up or slow down the decisions made by CONGRESS.
I like Biden but I want someone else period! I will vote Democrat period but like WTF?!
Okay so you like Biden, but want anyone else? That makes a lot of sense.
This is funny and I know he is trying to help but I'm afraid that since he is a third party, his votes will go to trump...I hope not but 😮
You really canot fix stupid.
We have the opportunity to do the greatest & funniest thing EVER!
Legitimise the "Ok Boomer" sarcastic movement? Nah, GROW UP!!
I only vote Green Party 💚☮️☮️💚👍 Never D or R ...
So you are giving your vote to a dictator wanna be who literally told oil companies to give him a billion dollars and he guaranteed that he would stop all other energy sources. He also promised that he would cut there taxes even more. Rem, our debt went up by 7 trillion before Covid. If you read Project 2025 and trumpos own campaign website are step by step instructions for a dictatorship. So go ahead and vote green for the party that WILL destroy us just like what's happening in FL.
Either Biden ot Trump WILL be elected President. You can help decide which one, but you choose not to.
Trump for president save America
Millions dead from Covid verses the guy who ended the pandemic. Yeah I'm voting for the latter
You must be a Moron, I mean Mormon.
