Ron Perlman Says His Presidential Run Is No Longer A Joke: Were In Danger of Ending Our Days...
Ron Perlman fans know he doesnt shy away from speaking his mind on social media. And lately, he has focused that ire on the assault on democracy coming out of Washington.
Were in a very dangerous, very degraded moment in time where the values that everybody who came before us fought and died for are all being tromped upon, Perlman said. For no good end except power and greed.
Perlman has been joking online about his own run for president: Perl2020. But what hes really trying to do is hammer home the gravity of the situation: If we dont get our shit together quickly, were in danger of ending our days, he told IndieWire. I feel its that serious.
...He was one of the original pirates, Perlman said of his character, who made his fortune during the original dot.com boom. The stakes are as high as they are because the potential for what the dark net can do the dark net is whats responsible for the guy who sits in our White House now.

(11,119 posts)1. If he's progressive and can enlist the support of the finest left-leaning
verbal sparrers in Hollywood (I think he can) I wouldn't mind supporting him...
He's kept a fairly low Hollywood profile so I wonder what kind of things lurk in his history that conservatives can twist like a pretzel and use against him...

...or on a local level? I think the Great Experiment of hiring unqualified ppl has proven to not be effective.
Although I'd be glad to hear his ideas.
