Dan Bilzerian Announces 2016 Presidential Campaign

If you’ve never heard of Dan Bilzerian, just imagine if Hunter S. Thompson’s gun collection and Chuck Norris’ beard had a love child and gave it a multi-million dollar trust fund. The man’s made headlines for throwing porn stars off his roof . He’s been arrested for trying to make a bomb . He’s rumored to have hired a professional “p–sy coordinator.” So what’s left for a 34-year-old man who’s already accomplished so much…except to run for the highest office in the land? Yes, Bilzerian has become the latest to mentally unstable megalomaniac to jump into the already over-crowded pool of 2016 presidential candidates . The idea of a man who seems to have few interests outside of boobs and blowing stuff up occupying the White House may seem ridiculous at first, but when you think about it, Bilzerian might have just the right mix of qualities to make him America’s ideal leader: The libido of JFK. The cocaine tolerance of Bush. The beard of Lincoln. And, of course, Harry S. Truman’s taste for breaking out the big bombs and making things go boom. In case you doubted Blitz’s seriousness, tickets are already on sale for his June 24 campaign launch party in NYC.  Was your favorite candidate surrounded by thongs and assault rifles when he announced? We didn’t think so.  View Slideshow: 2016 Presidential Election: The (Possible) Contenders

Joe Biden: Shotgun Beats Assault Rifle in Case of Earthquake!

Vice President Joe Biden really needs a reality show, as a recent White House petition called for. He gave Americans a glimpse of why Friday in a Google+ Hangout. The always-outspoken Veep (and possible 2016 election candidate) went off on a tangent on shotguns, assault rifles, and protecting yourself during an earthquake. Take a look: Joe Biden Shotgun Senate Democrats introduced their 2013 assault weapons ban earlier in the week, a controversial measure that faces an uncertain future in Congress. Among many fair questions about such a bill: How can you ban assault weapons when some people own them as a last line of defense, one G+ user asked. Joe says that’s no problem … since shotguns work better anyway. “A shotgun would keep you a lot safer – a double barrel shotgun – than the assault weapon in somebody’s hand who doesn’t know how to use it,” he says. While looking at the camera and pretending to clutch a shotgun. “You know. It’s harder to use an assault weapon to hit something than a shotgun. So, if you want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells.” The more you know.
