In New Hampshire today, a man calling himself Vermin Supreme filed for the presidential primary. He said in his administration, every American will receive a pony. He also plans to defeat ISIS by going back in time. Oh, and he wears a large boot on his head.




Maybe he's the one!!!

Personal life


Campaign 2008: Vermin Supreme

Supreme, who does not disclose his birth name,[citation needed] was born in and grew up near Boston, Massachusettsand is said to be the oldest of three children. He graduated from Gloucester High School in the 1980s, then moved to Baltimore to attend art school, but he dropped out and began booking bands for underground clubs.

In 1986, he joined the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament in protest of nuclear weapons. In 1987 he began running for public office. He legally changed his name to Vermin Supreme in the 1990s while still in Baltimore.

In 2006, Supreme donated one of his kidneys to save his mother. He is married and has no children.

Political views



Supreme discussed his political views in a 2008 promotional video. He stated he was registered as a Republican at that time, but that he leaned toward anarchism. He asserted that libertarians "are just about abolishing the government and letting nuts fall where it may", which he called a mistake; he also asserted that Republicans want to nullify the government, but "offer no alternative to helping people other than charity". Supreme's vision of anarchism holds no need for government, but depends on citizens to take responsibility for themselves and for others, citing "mutual aid and support and care to our fellow citizens" as key elements. To that end, Supreme called for a gradual dismantling of the government, while citizens take up the slack. He asserted that Americans do not know anymore how to be citizens, placing some of the blame on schools that teach in "very twisted and jingoistic fashion".

In the video, Supreme discussed his presidential campaign. He describes his "joke humor" campaign as a response to the lies people are fed by the media and by the government.

Vermin Supreme



Vermin Love Supreme (ur. 1961[1] w Rockport) – amerykański performer, satyryk i aktywista, niezależny kandydat w wielu lokalnych, stanowych i prezydenckich wyborach w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Jego atrybutami są: kapelusz w kształcie buta, noszony na głowie i trzymana w rękach dużych rozmiarów szczotka do zębów. Supreme otwarcie deklaruje prześmiewczy charakter swojej działalności.

Od 1987 startuje w wyborach jako kandydat niezależny. W 1988 ubiegał się o stanowisko burmistrza Baltimore, ale przegrał z Kurtem Schmoke. W tym samym roku startował w wyborach na burmistrza Detroit. W 2004 wystartował w prawyborach prezydenckich Partii Demokratycznej w Waszyngtonie.

W 2012 ubiegał się o nominację Partii Demokratycznej w wyborach na urząd prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych. Brał udział w prawyborach w New Hampshire i w Iowa. Był wśród protestujących przed szczytem NATO w Chicago w dniach 20–21 maja tego samego roku[8]. 5 października 2012 wystąpił w autorskim programie Petera Schiffa, w którym debatował z innymi marginalnymi kandydatami, m.in. Jimmym McMillanem.

W maju 2014 zapowiedział, że będzie kandydował na urząd prezydenta USA w 2016. Polityk odwiedził 20 miast w celu zbudowania poparcia i wyraził intencję starania się o finansowanie kampanii przez Federalną Komisję Wyborczą.

Cytowany w mediach z powodu kontrowersyjnych, wielokroć absurdalnych poglądów, polityk zadeklarował, że jeżeli zostanie prezydentem Stanów Zjednoczonych, wprowadzi prawo nakładające na obywateli amerykańskich obowiązek regularnego mycia zębów. Podczas kampanii prezydenckiej w 2012 przestrzegał przed apokalipsą zombie, a także postulował zwiększone wsparcie dla badań dotyczących podróżowania w czasie. Obiecał również, że każdy Amerykanin pod jego rządami otrzyma darmowego kucyka.
