Pimp Of The Nation: Kid Rock Unveils Website Claiming Hes Running For Senate

Kid Rock, the Detroit rapper of “bawitdaba da bang a dang” fame and outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, announced on Wednesday that he may be running for a seat in the U.S. Senate in 2018 ― and no one can tell if they should believe him.

The famous rocker ― who also goes by “Detroit cowboy,” “American badass” or simply “the Kid” ― hinted at a bid for a Senate seat in Michigan by tweeting to his fans that the website KidRockforSenate.com is real.

“Stay tuned, I will have a major announcement in the near future,” he said after sharing a link to his site, which includes a picture of himself sitting in an office under a generic campaign logo for 2018 and above large text that asks, “ARE YOU SCARED?”

Other campaign messages on his website include “I’ll rock the party,” “Get in the Senate and try to help someone” and “Pimp of the nation.”

Maybe he can get Guy Feiri as his chef in counsel

But with entitled celebrity-because-they're celebrity airheads running the show and science and medicine becoming about how many erection pills you can hock.

California had a robot win, and now the nation has a brain surgeon, and banker, wedding planner, traitors, hedge fund operators, a sexual predator, and now we have a guy that goes around and sings songs like and does this stuff:

If this is serious, can you say with certainty that this guy couldn't win?

I realize that there's plenty in his life that, in a pre-2016 America, would have been disqualifying.

He has a song catalog that ranges from "Balls in Your Mouth," "Killin' Brain Cells," "Fuck U Blind," and "Blow Me" in the early '90s to later songs such as "Rock n Roll Jesus" and "You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me" (which includes the line "I met the president when I was half stoned&quot .

You can watch a sex tape that features him along with Creed's Scott Stapp and four women. He had to pay $40,000 after getting into a fight with a guy at a Waffle House. And he doesn't seem to have a particularly profound grasp of politics, as we learned from this early 2016 Rolling Stone interview

If all the voters want is a damn popularity contest, we can run Matt Damon or any number of liberal celebs and sweep everything....

We're talking about a washed up singer who screams about his genitalia being bigger than everyone else's.
