I'm thinking he would solve a lot of neighbour disputes with some of the laws he might pass.
Vote McAfee, you can trump the others (I should work in American politics)
As McAfee runs for US President – we ask a crucial question: Will Reg readers back him?
Now that paranoid playboy John McAfee has personally confirmed to El Reg that he is running for US president, it's time to ask a key question. No, not where his campaign stands on inequality, America's simmering racial tensions, the fate of the middle class, and stuff like that. We need to find out this crucial detail: does …

Re: The rug and the wingnut
Boris Johnson seems positively normal in comparison to Trump. He should still get a proper haircut though. Does he do his with garden shears? Also, in Boris' case, the buffoonery is a smokescreen to hide that he's a very bright chap, and he doesn't appear to be a rude arsehole either.
Although Johnson apparently really does talk like that, even under provocation. He came across a mugging a few years ago, charged towards the attackers, still on his bike, and shouted, "clear off you oiks!"

American Politics
Crazy, idiotic, paranoid and criminal, Americans have repeatedly voted in presidents that fit one or more of these attributes.
Seems the most hated thing to the political media and (seemingly) public is a well balance intelligent leader, especially if they have a socialist outlook.

"a well balance intelligent leader"
If one EVER runs for American political office (not just the presidency), PLEASE let me know so I can vote for him!
I'm actually planning to vote for Trump. I figure he'll be entertaining and not get anything done. It's better he not screw things any worse.

Re: American Politics
They having trouble with Hildabeast and her email saga - might need to add treasonous to the list.
"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason [...]" -- 18 U.S. Code §2381
Hmm. If it was an Exchange server then it would technically be the enemy of all living things, and that would include the United States, but from my experience there is neither "aid" nor "comfort" involved in running it.
You may be stretching just a little bit there.

Re: American Politics
Intelligent and socialist don't go together, unless you mean intelligent in the sense of most socialist leaders I have lived under in that they and their families become fabulously wealthy while ruining the country they rule over. But then again it easy to sit in your mum's basement and espouse all the 'glories' of socialism when you haven't experienced it first hand right...

Re: Socialist
Actually I have and still do.
In the UK there are still a few socialist organisations which we benefit from, the NHS being the most obvious.
Capitalism is wealth generating and helpfull to build aspersions.
Socialism means that my kids can do anything their talent and determination leads them to (inspiring). It means that, no matter what, the health of my family is looked after. It means that if the worst was to happen to me they would not starve.
We need both.
One supports the other.
Businesses needs healthy educated people who won't seal the guttering just for survivals sake.
People need wealth to help pay for the safety net.
So someone with a socialist outlook is an idiot how?

Can he get this fucking site to use TLS?
....then he get's my nod, but not a vote. Hey El Reg - Last year you said you're looking into the 'so very complicated that nobody can seem to implement it' TLS?
WHAT THE FUCK? Maybe someone from this org should run for government office ....over there - 'cause you already have the blatant lying straight.

Re: Edward Snowden for President
He's not old enough for this cycle (Born: June 21, 1983, age 33 in late 2016). But absolutely, yes, I would vote for Edward Snowden. I not only would vote for Snowden, I would campaign for him for free.
The man has proven himself to be a patriot willing to risk his own welfare for the good of the country.
