Kanye West signals intent to run for presidency

I just saw a brief snippet from his first rally - to call it a train wreck would be far too nice. But, America, you have form in this regard. Is Trump-West 2020 too far off the mark?

"My dad wanted to abort me,” he said before he began crying on stage.

Do we really need stability?

several hundred people” eh

Most all people are that stupid. It’s the factor of self-selected social circles that makes it seem like everyone is a smart and understanding person like you.

He criticized Harriet Tubman*? What an idiot!

*Because she “didn’t free any slaves.”

Granted, it’s just one photo but I noticed that the AP photo of the crowd taking cellphone video of Kanye was all white people.

Lock him up!*

*until his meds kick in.

I actually think Kayne (or anyone) would be better than Biden.

Although these words are all in English, I can’t make sense of this.

Biden is fine. Hillary would have been fine (or better). The idea that Kayne West would be a better president than Biden is crazy. Kayne would be better than Trump, but that’s a low bar.

As a rapper… maybe.

Trump is “anyone”.

People worship wealth.

Furthermore many very wealthy people live in a bubble. I don’t mean they’re keeping poor people away, they’re keeping everyone away except specially selected friends and staff who tolerate their BS. This is not a feature of all or even most very wealthy people, but this is a common “risk factor”.

I’ve read accounts of the rambling statements made by Donald Trump and Kanye West this weekend. I concluded West is worse. But it was disturbingly close.

Which is worse, being dropped into a vat of powerful acid or being dropped into a vat of lava? Does it matter?

Despite his bold strategy of insulting Harriet Tubman at a S. Carolina “rally” last night, Kanye failed to submit any petition signatures by today’s deadline.

Rapper Kanye West did not submit any of the 10,000 petition signatures needed to get on South Carolina’s 2020 presidential ballot by Monday’s noon deadline despite hosting a rally in the state the previous day.
[…]
By the time the deadline passed at noon, neither West nor any representative from his makeshift campaign had arrived to deliver the petition to the South Carolina Election Commission, according to commission spokesman Chris Whitmire. No “Late Registration” will be allowed.

If his campaign is this kind of a flawless, well-oiled machine, just imagine how great he’d be at running the country!

Actually, I will have to go Libertarian again this year, as I cannot vote for Biden or Trump.Hopefully ohio wont make a difference this year.

Just saw this on the AP:

I admit I’m having a hard time coming up with much compassion and/or empathy for a guy who is stinking rich, world famous AND married to a beautiful and wealthy woman and who’s current woes have only to do with his own actions and the failures of those close to him to stop him from those actions.
