Kanye West announces he's running for president, 2020

This motherfucker!

He’s in Rosanne Barr territory.

My gawd today...

Well bless his heart....

But I thought he was closerthanthis with his buddy Trump?

well, we've already got a whore for a first lady. what's Kanye bringing to the table that we don't already have?

Why the hell shouldn't he? Look at the candidates we have now.

Bobcat Goldthwait 2020!

He has to get signature to get on state ballots. Does he have that kind of ground game and enthusiasm?

He truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

Oh, I shall be a great vice-president!

His VP choice is Dr. Demento.

If he actually runs he's going to throw the election to Trump. I hope he's just being insane as usual.

An Independent to siphon the Black vote from Biden?

his vp will be Caitlin and we'll get our first *female* Vp.

If the implication is he'll take black votes away from Democrats, R12, you don't have much respect for black voters or their ability to vote for what is best for their futures. Kanye West doesn't worry me except for the sideshow he will create... and that will be Trump's problems. In his world, they're that version of in a friendship.

Kanye West-Mary Hart 2020 👌

Rob for VP, Two Tons O' Fun!

I hate him and everyone in or associated with that family.

Will all his gay lovers come forward and out him? I hope so.

What makes you think that isn't the entire point, R12? He probably cooked it up with the Orange one.

The troll is back for his routine feeding of negative attention.

r15 My implication is he will take black votes, and he will take white votes away by Millennials who inexplicably love him. I'm specifically thinking of a few acquaintances of mine.

And if you think "trusting the voters" (regardless of color) is a logical argument, look at the 2016 election.

r20 I didn't SAY it was or was not the point.

Republicans are going to give money and help him get on the ballot. He would definitely throw the election toward Trump

Can someone overdose him or call 5150 on him?

Elon Musk is supporting him. Why is Elon being such a douche?

Kim K. would be the first First Lady with a sex tape.

Hey, Mr. Asteroid...

Could you, like, hurry it up?

Black people KNOW he is crazy - they aren't going to vote for him.

Seriously - the I am God thing and now President? He's legit cray.

R8 exactly

He needs to put in actual work to get on ballots (some have already closed).

What am I, invisible??

[quote]Black people KNOW he is crazy - they aren't going to vote for him.

Aren’t black people the dummies that watch all that Kardashian shit?

[quote]Kim K. would be the first First Lady with a sex tape.

Or [italic]would[/italic] she?

R32 is a racist

Black people are ALREADY celebrating on Twitter!

They will completely fall for it, vote for Kanye, and re-elect Trump.

Thanks a lot.

He sees a nut like Trump as president and thinks anyone can run. But he's not Trump. Trump is evil and incompetent. Kanye is just crazy. And I don't mean that casually. I mean, he's a fucking mental patient and needs to be medicated.

When Trump announced his bid for presidency everyone thought he would burn out quickly due to his incompetence and craziness. So who the fuck knows what will happen? Americans are idiots.

This literal cocksucker.

R35 Black people don’t have much common sense when it comes to celebrities. They will automatically support a black celebrity even if the celebrity is an asshole.

The vote will split and Trump will be re-elected

I bet Trump talked him into this

We’re fucked now.

If as a third party candidate he siphons some small percentage of the youth vote and black vote from Biden, that could easily be enough to give Trump the election.

This could be real bad.

Trump is behind this

Now Joe Biden has to pick a white man as his VP. Seriously.

I have zero faith in the American public.

Bit uppity isn’t he?

No Joe Biden has to pick a Black woman as VP

Voters will have a choice, do you want the first Black Female VP or do you want to waste your vote?

R47, I take it back. You right. You right.

R48 the problem now is Bernie Bros - they now have a place to go

Will enough votes be peeled from Biden to re-elect Trump

[quote]Kim K. would be the first First Lady with a sex tape.

Um, yes. Of course. Let's go vit dat.

Does Kanye have enough time to get on the ballot?

Trump probably got Russia to pay Kanye to steal black votes from Biden. The end.

[quote] If as a third party candidate he siphons some small percentage of the youth vote and black vote from Biden, that could easily be enough to give Trump the election.

No one will vote for him. His thoughts are rarely coherent outside of his music.

hopefully it backfires and and he takes the bernie bro and black people votes who would actually vote for trump instead of biden

MARY at everyone claiming Trump just won another term. He has a new album out called 2020. It's all just a publicity stunt.

He’s doing this for publicity.

I haven't laughed so hard since Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015.

Oh shit we're doomed.

Elon Musk just endorsed Kanye West

This isn’t funny.

R22 - that is a hysterical reaction here. Firstly, younger voters are overwhelmingly progressive and Kanye's embrace of libertarian and conservative politics (not to mention his bizarre affection for Trump) will make him toxic to most younger voters. People are capable of liking his music and still finding him, personally, a bit of a joke. Secondly, if there's one thing black voters are known for it is pragmatism. Black voters are the single most dependable demographic group for the Dems, but they are also very pragmatic. It's partly whey Hillary had their initial support in the 2008 primary. Obama didn't have widespread black voter support until he started winning primaries and proving to black voters that he could actually win the general.

Maybe if you actually knew anyone under 70 or darker than eggshell you might not have such a hysterical reaction. But, either way, relax, even if this moron decides to actually run, he won't have any impact.

Black people will listen to the Obamas, Jim Clyburn, etc.

Excuse typos. I didn't proofread.

Sad thing is he could be an incredible advocate for good. He reaches such a broad cross-cultural audience. Unfortunately, he is a narcissist and egotist to rival Dump. No thought about anyone but himself. Never done anything of significance to help others.

[quote] Firstly, younger voters are overwhelmingly progressive and Kanye's embrace of libertarian and conservative politics (not to mention his bizarre affection for Trump) will make him toxic to most younger voters.

It is not about policy (look at Trump) it is about emotional connection, If younger voters have an emotional connection to Kanye, they will vote for him

Please, let’s not give him any attention. One narcissist is exhausting enough. I hate this country.

R25 because Elon Musk is a Libertarian sociopath.

Presidential elections can be decided at the margins r60. No one is talking about Kanye winning any demographic, but small percentages being siphoned off can make a difference.

Trump won Michigan by like 0.25%, very small margins made a difference.

There is a huge number of people that were never going to vote anyway that are now going to vote for Kanye.

Same as when Arnold ran for governor.

Same as when Trump ran for president.

They thought it was hilarious. And they fist oumped the air and whisper-chanted “Arnold! Arnold!” And “Trump! Trump’ “Trump!” INSIDE the polling places.

Saw it with my own eyes.

ye @kanyewest

We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States 🇺🇸 ! #2020VISION

His campaign slogan is very ableist. I hope the sight-impaired destroy him.

So pimp mama kris is angela lansbury in the manchurian candidate.

It doesn't matter if disaffected voters or bernie bros believe in his message. He is a placeholder for a protest vote.

*Manchurian Kandidate*

I’m starting to believe that psychic years ago predicting Obama was the last US President.

Given his full bore turn to the Lord Jesus Christ... (seriously)....he might take as many evangelical voters away from Trump as younger and black voters away from Biden.

[quote] he might take as many evangelical voters away from Trump

NO, they would stick with Trump no matter what

I really REALLY want to see him dead.

Like the one in the lifeboat who insists on standing up so it capsizes.

Or the one when everyone is huddled and hiding for their lives and he just has to grumble or cry or freak out and they all get caught and shot.

He’s THAT guy in the movie that you regret was included.

Kanye's missed the deadline in all 50 states to be a R, D, or 3rd party, but oh he could be on the ballot in quite a few states as in Independent (some deadlines are in Aug). Is this Trump's move? Is he asking Kanye to run as an Independent???

Kanye/Covid 2020 🏴‍☠️🇺🇸

R77 how can you run for President if you are not on the ballot in all 50 states?

Getting on the ballot isn't that easy in most states, he is wasting his time.

I see no indication that this is a joke or just promotion for an album.

Idiots will vote for him.

Does he have a felony on his record?

Khloe has already been tapped to be Secretary of the Interior of the Vagina.

196,964 signatures are need to get on the ballot in California as an independent, deadline is 8/7/2020.

He's stealing the retard vote!

What type of role will Caitlyn play in the transition?

California doesn't matter r84. It makes if he gets on the ballot in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina etc.

[quote] It makes if he gets on the ballot in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina etc.

Trump path to victory was winning

Pennsylvania, Florida & North Carolina,

Michigan requires 30,000 signatures with at least 100 signatures from each of at least half of the state's congressional districts by 7/16/2020, that isn't happening.

Pennsylvania is doable 5,000 signatures and a $200.00 filing fee by 8/3/2020.

Tennessee is ridiculous you only need 275 signatures to get on the ballot to run as an independent for President.

He should have Kim's sex tape playing on a Jumbotron behind him when he announces.

But can Kanye get on the ballot in these states as an independent

Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina and Ohio

That is Trump path to victory

1. The deadline for independent candidates to get on the general election ballot has passed in IN, NM, ME, NY and NC.

2. Florida's filing deadline is in 10 days.

3. It's *Kanye West*

I really hate my life.

We’re fucked.

what about getting on the ballot in Ohio

I bet the Trump campaign is looking into how to get him on the ballot in key states

This is why you don’t get excited or confident about polls in June (or July, August, September). Trump has a bevy of huge surprises coming up over the next four months.

If this turns into a thing we should start a movement to cancel the Kartrashians and have everyone come together to disrupt their methods of making money, everyone unfollows them on everything, pressure corporations they're in bed with and be publicly shamed to where they are forced to stay inside and never come out until 2021.

I don't see that many people voting for him even if he gets on the ballot, which is very unlikely.

Blacks will vote for him completely.

I thought he was a Trump supporter

[quote] Blacks will vote for him completely.

Not if Biden VP is black

if he gets ballot access, which he still can, in Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, it'll likely throw the election to Trump. I doubt there's a lot of Trump supporters who'd vote for Kanye over Trump. But there may be just enough 'hold your nose' Biden supporters to do it to hurt him in those states.

He needs a 5150 hold

Im sure that since he and trump are so tight, they devised the plan so he would siphon off a lot of the black vote from Biden, ensuring Trump his reelection. Fucking asshole.

Elon Musk offers him full support, lol.

Now is the time for that nasty ex who used to finger his ass and peg him to make her ass shown.

No black person over 30 is going to vote for him. And the majority of black people under 30 aren’t voting for him either. His passionate support for Trump, his history of mental illness and his habit of blaming black people for not overcoming racism will deflate what’s left.

I told you black people would back Biden. I’m telling you this clown won’t make a dent either.

And by the way, Kanye doesn’t have the mental fortitude to stick with a Presidential race so this won’t last.

R110 serious question - Kanye married to a white woman - does that turn off Black voters, particularly Black women?

wow. Another aspies sociopathic narcissist. Of course the similarly psychotic elon musk supports him. Omg. What is wrong with people?!?!

R110 the voice of reason. There is plenty out there about his outrageous comments on racism he can easily be brought down with. He's stupid to try this but this guy seems to enjoy inserting himself into situations that have nothing to do with him. You have to be absolutely mentally disturbed to feel compelled to insert yourself into a presidential race. Fuck him. This is fucking more serious than his absurdly disgusting ego. Pig cunt.

@oomfieJinnx Kanye West will not win. Don’t waste your time with him.

Here’s why:

-He hasn’t even filled with the FEC, which is required to run for President

-Ballot access is very hard for independents

-The deadline to get on the ballot in 5 states has already passed

[quote]If this turns into a thing we should start a movement to cancel the Kartrashians and have everyone come together to disrupt their methods of making money, everyone unfollows them on everything, pressure corporations they're in bed with and be publicly shamed to where they are forced to stay inside and never come out until 2021.

There's a major flaw in this plan. The Kardashians have absolutely no sense of shame whatsoever.

Kanye and Trump are plotting TOGETHER!

Why don’t you see this???

Say he does get on the ballot and does affect the results in some swing states. If Trump wins because of Kanye, career over for Kanye. He would have no one left after that.

r12 who do you think is going to vote for him? How do you think he is going to get on the ballot.

Monday he will back track.

BLM will vote for him!

R118, he is doing quite well after supporting Trump.

A thread on Kanye’s Boyfriend

r102, fuck you, no they won't.

[quote]If Trump wins because of Kanye, career over for Kanye. He would have no one left after that.

If Trump wins a second term, what becomes of Kanye's career is going to be the least of this country's concerns.

Does he do anal?

He lets Trump grab him by the pussy.

Presidential Cock

I can’t believe this is happening.

The Blacks and Gen Y will vote for him and help Trump.

We’re fucked.

99% of this thread is hand-wringing and "concern" from elderly white people who probably don't know a single black person or interact with someone born since the Truman administration. Relax, Kanye West is not going to throw the election to Trump. And he sure has hell isn't going to pick up the black vote or the youth vote. There are PLENTY of things to stay vigilant about in the lead up to November -- don't forget all those down ballot races, all the way down to local city councils and school boards -- this is not one of them.

R129 I'm more worried about young white men in swing states. The ones that troll reddit and hate all politicians and would vote for Kanye ironically. And for some Bernie Bros who just need another name on the ballot to give them an excuse to not vote for Biden.

The fallacy I see repeated here is supposing all of Trump's supporters are racist.

Some of them could just be ignorant and stupid. Those people would vote for Kanye.

i am worried about the huge percentage of 2016's non-voters. They outnumber Trump supporters and are ignorant and stupid too.

Elon Musk is in his corner

Of course, you’re right, R129. And let’s not forget the fake “concern” trolls.

The fact that this could be a plot from Trump again shows how he debases our country and electoral process.

Trump's racist base isn't going to vote for a black guy.

R131, if a bunch of 2016 non voters vote for Kanye, what are you worried about?

This IS a plot with Trump and Kanye working together to defeat Biden.

Omg fist lady Kim Kardashian! Yaaas queen!!!

People on Twitter are upset that this means Kim Kardashian will be first lady.

I highly doubt he actually goes through with it.

However, I would like to see how Kanye would decorate the WH for Christmas.

Biden/West 2020, I'm serious. This could work.

#AnyoneButTrump

I wish Kayne, the Kardashian whores, the Trumps & Brucette would all board a plane, then fly into an open, flaming volcano.

[quote]serious question - Kanye married to a white woman - does that turn off Black voters, particularly Black women?

Some black women have hated Kim ever since she had the sex tape with Ray J and later dated Reggie Bush before Kanye. Khloe gets a lot of hate too. There is also some story or rumor about how cunt Kris Jenner encouraged her daughters to date black men because they are easier to manipulate. Another nasty rumor which I think could be true is that Kim refers or referred to her black female friends as the "Auntie Jemima crew" behind their backs.

The thing about the Karshian and Jenner girls is that they have all hooked up with cheaters, shame on Kris.

[quote]I wish Kayne, the Kardashian whores, the Trumps & Brucette would all board a plane, then fly into an open, flaming volcano.

I agree. I can't stand any of them. I hope karma comes for them like it did with Robert Kardashian.

Hope there's room in the volcano for the whole tRump clan (minus Barron), if not a grease fire would do.

R143 Didn't she cheat on her first husband?

But, yeah Kris is fucking trashy. I remember all gossip stories year back about how she did coke all the time with Faye Resnick and Nicole Brown Simpson. I would love it if some old video or photos popped up of that.

The Morally Corrupt Faye Resnick

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

But unfortunately, in our current era of celebrity equaling importance and after the last four years' debacle elected to the White House, Kayne West would probably stand a good chance at winning.

Don't need you need to be a college graduate to be president? Didn't he drop out of college?

Ima gone vote for another blonde reality TV STAR!!

Too bad Ahnuld can't run, he knows how to rub it in to tRump

He said last year that he was going to run for president, but I thought it was in 2024. Probably hoping for the VP spot under Trump.

[quote]Don't need you need to be a college graduate to be president?

No, of course not.

[quote]Hope there's room in the volcano for the whole tRump clan (minus Barron), if not a grease fire would do.

I wish the Kennedy curse would transfer over to the Trump family. I suspect Trump would only care if Ivanka died, I doubt he would grieve if one of his other kids died.

I still think Daddy mocks Junior for dating a woman older than Melania and that he probably has had too.

I'm available for VP

Kanye’s tweet already has 500k likes. Obama tweeted about Biden earlier today and only has 100k.

Kanye has a new album coming out. Publicity stunt.

I can't imagine Kris is pleased about this. This kind of stunt could actually damage the Kardashian brand irreparably. Their reality show, like all others, is already going to be handicapped by Covid and if Kanye is serious about this and ends up helping Trump get reelected inadvertently, there's no rebounding from that for a large majority of their "fans". Even the idiots that would consider voting for this douche probably wouldn't want to see Trump win a second term. The Kardashian name will be toast if this happens and deservedly so.

I'm trying not to worry. If he gets onto the ballot in swing states, that could be disastrous. Obviously it would take more from Biden than Trump. But I'm not sure i can see him sustaining a halfway serious campaign to November, and people won't write him in if it peters out. While I can totally believe Trump is behind this, maybe he's not--maybe it's just Kanye's narcissism and he actually does want to win. In which case he could at least damage Trump a tiny bit if he is critical of both his opponents. His comments might remind potential voters that, oh yeah, Trump is worse on X issue and Kanye has no actual chance so maybe I should go back to Biden like an adult...or maybe that's my wishful thinking. Best case scenario Kanye loses interest in seriously campaigning (if he's even serious right now).

The media won't be as kind to Kanye as they were to Stein or Trump or Sanders, and Kanye is crazy and not very bright, so I don't think he's much to worry about.

If the media decides it would be more profitable for them to bolster Kanye, though, then we're in trouble.

He’s so fucking ugly with those chipmunk cheeks.

I actually think he used to be good looking prior to the weight gain but the forced-on fake smile he does in photos is so embarrassing.

There's video out there showing him telling his concert audiences a) that he sold his soul to the devil and b) that his mother HAD to die as a condition of his achieving his fame/wealth related goals. Source after source is listing his current net worth at 1.3 BILLION dollars - who knew?

Does that mean he gave up on the Church thing? That sure creates confidence in him and his presidential ambitions.

If he were serious, he would have launched this “campaign” sooner. And he does not have it in him to do the long term stumping and flesh-pressing necessary.

He’s in manic phase right now, that’s all.

[QUOTE] Kanye’s tweet already has 500k likes. Obama tweeted about Biden earlier today and only has 100k.

And what did twitter likes do for Bernie Sanders in the primary, R158?

Oh for fuck’s sake

I think it's funny there is no mention of this anywhere on cnn.com

Russiapublican propaganda aimed towardd ignorant blacks that, if they just wait until Trump's 2nd term is over, they will have another black President.

Many will fall for it and vote for Trump- or not vote at all.

Yeah, that's all we need. Someone else with mental illness and delusions of grandeur running for President.

Does Kanye have something to sell at this time?

Let's hope he's joking or he may take away black votes from Biden.

Enough, r171 et al, with the absurd and racist assumption that blacks will vote for this mentally ill narcissist just because he’s black.

Black voters on the whole make far more sensible choices in the polling place than whites do. Unlike the deplorables, they’re not going to pull the lever for some grossly unhinged and unqualified assclown because he’s a celebrity who shares their racial background and fires them up with his outrageous bullshit.

Did nobody pay attention during primary season when sane and reasonably qualified black candidates could not get as much traction among black voters as safer bet, white Joe Biden?

Sad truth is Kanye and the type of celebs that he is, is exactly the sort that a certain segment of low information, identify politics Democrat voters would support. All Kanye has to do is promise a bunch of free shit for these voters and they will vote for him. This is like that movie Idiocracy come to life.

Kanye has no political or executive experience. He’s not qualified to run for anything.

R173, do Blacks think OJ is innocent?

R173, do Blacks think Michael Jackson is innocent?

R173, do Blacks think Bill Cosby is innocent?

OVERWHELMINGLY, they believed and STILL believe that all three are innocent. Why is that? You know why.

And they will vote for Kanye, which will help Trump win the election, just as Trump and Kanye have planned together.

I hate this election year. I go from being hopeful to despondent on a daily basis.

Blacks cheered when OJ was acquitted. So... trash.

[quote]Definitely voting for Kanye

And thousands of Likes...

The fix is in.

Exxxxxcccellllleeeennnnnnnttttttttttt.

R183 It’s not black vote I’m worried about, it’s dumbfuck women of all races who want to see First Lady Kim

Some Twitter comments:

I’m hoping he drops an album while in the Whitehouse too 🙏🏽

Team West all the way ✊🏽Hundred points symbol

“Kanye West doesn’t care about Black people” - George W. Bush

Tennessee is ridiculous you only need 275 signatures to get on the ballot to run as an independent for President.

To be fair, each signatory has to first shinny up a tulip tree, pluck from a mockingbird the tail feather with which they’ll sign and all while whistling Rocky Top.

Kim will never be First Lady because he hasn't got a chance in hell of winning. The die hard Trumpers will never vote for him and moderates and true progressives will never vote for him either because they will correctly identify him as a spoiler to Biden's chances. He may pick off a few voters disenchanted with Trump, but who were never n board with Biden, but I suspect he will either appeal mostly to low information non-voters or younger first-time voters who would otherwise be in the Biden column, but on a lark vote for Kanye without weighing the consequences. Either way, it will not end up with him being president and it may only serve to benefit Trump.

Are you paying attention, R189?

NO ONE thinks Kanye wants to actually BE President.

He is doing this to purposefully help Trump win.

It's a plot they are working on together. Everyone can see it but you.

And it still won’t work, R190.

Oh please let Kanye be invited to a virtual debate with Dump and Biden! I'll watch the hell outta that!

Though I agree there's no way Kanye will actually go through with this. He won't be on a single ballot.

BUT if he does... God help us all.

Have the media learned from their mistake of giving a platform to these ignorant clowns or will they continue to normalize unqualified buffoons so they can continue to destroy this country and lower the standards for the presidency, so that a kid running a lemonade stand becomes more qualified to be president than these imbeciles.

I can see it just fine, r190. Thanks for your concern.

I actually do think that Kanye is egotistical enough, like his good buddy Trump, to actually think he could be president despite zero political cred and he's probably delusional enough to think he could stand a chance of winning. Maybe not in this cycle, but he's hardwired the same way Trump is with an arrogant God complex and fame whore DNA, this won't be the last election cycle he will throw his hat in the ring for. Even if Biden wins, we'll likely see this again from him in 2024.

I'm confused again. Which one of the whores is it married to? The mother whore, the Sasquatch looking whore, the baby machine whore, the porn star whore, the tranny whore or the model whore?

Run for president? Who the hell does this nobody think he is?

Well, Fox and Friends are excited.

r176, nobody thinks OJ is innocent. Black people who cheered his acquittal were simply glad to see a black man get away with murder for once. Few believe or supports Bill Cosby, either, especially since at the same time that he was secretly drugging and raping women he was publicly scolding and shaming the black community for its "failure" to be as upstanding and respectable as Bill Cosby.

But none of that has anything to do with the price of tea in china, anyway. Deciding you'll continue to fangurl some entertainer despite his obvious criminality is a very low-stakes decision; ultimately, the entertainer's fate, good or bad, won't affect your life in any way.. Helping to elect a complete disaster as POTUS is different story. Black voters are not going to do anything that might help keep Biden out of office and give Trump (or Kanye himself for that matter) another term. (And no, Twitter likes don't translate into votes; just ask Bernie.)

R182, I have no idea who Robert is or wtf you are banging on about. Did you have a point?

#KanyeKanye2020

What a fucking surprise that FOX is excited. Disgusting. I hope black people in particular have enough sense to see right through this egotistical shithead.

I’d rather vote for Toni

This is just another one of his thirsty, attention whore stunts; he's clearly mentally ill & this is just his way to insert himself into discussions about race since no one takes him seriously or wants to hear his bullshit ramblings about Dear Leader. By November, he'll probably be blathering about how he's discovered he wants to be a woman & everyone should call him "Estelle" (or some other attention getting stunt)

Dumb fucking media will of course cover this circus because god forbid history DOESN'T repeat itself.

There are far more important stories to cover. If the media had any guts or morals or decency, they would ignore this fucking clown's constant need for attention...like they should have the first time the gave an egotistical, ignorant turd attention.

No one is going to vote for him. No one.

5150 this nutjob already!

He needs to be medicated.

Kim & the kids are in danger. Kanye will probably snap one day.

There’s a huge grease fire with his name on it.

History repeats itself and similar energies travel in groups of families and friends... I could see Kanye being OJ 2.0

I see Kanye being Jill Stein 2.0.

is there ANY indication he is serious? any follow up tweets? any paperwork filed? any campaign manager named? i'll believe it when i see something

Even if he's not serious and never files, his idiot fans will probably vote for him as a write-in vote. Hopefully they're not old enough to vote.

BIDENS PICKS BARROXANNE OBAMA FOR VP

What? It might work!

They can sell Kim's fuck tape in The White House gift shop. Won't that be fun.

Get back on Lithium, Miss Thang.

This didn't even last one news cycle. Already, no one cares about this.

[quote]Enough, [R171] et al, with the absurd and racist assumption that blacks will vote for this mentally ill narcissist just because he’s black.

I’m not R171 but it’s not a racist assumption. His black fans are as deranged as him. When he was doing that “Sunday Service” shit, tickets sold out within minutes and people were paying up to $500 to see this asshole.

Hasn't he been hospitalized for mental episodes? You'd have to be the stupidest kind of stupid to vote for some one like that. Granted we are dealing with a mentally ill man now. But at the fucking least he didn't have a looney bin rap sheet. Though he probably should've.

Anyone relying on social media for a clue into the thoughts of given population is an idiot or a troll or both. If you legitimately believe this crap and aren't a troll, you need to remember that

(A) black voters are more pragmatic than to vote for someone just because they're black -- ask Obama, Kamala Harris, Ben Carson, Herman Caine, and Al Sharpton;

(B) black people by and large don't support Kanye or take him seriously, and they don't respect the Kardashians -- if you knew any black people in [bold]real life[/bold], you'd know this;

(C) political idea's expressed on social media are practically worthless because their either expressed by people who are too young (e.g., edgy 15 year old with more ideas than sense) or lazy to vote;

(D) there's an incredible amount of manipulation on SM from Russian trolls pretending to be Americans and specifically black Americans.

Stop being so gullible.

[quote] When he was doing that “Sunday Service” shit, tickets sold out within minutes and people were paying up to $500 to see this asshole.

So what? There are many people I might pay to see in concert but would never vote for for POTUS or any other elective office. Would the DL queens who pay good money to see Madonna vote for her for president? (I hope to god not.) You concern trolls need to get a grip.

2020: THE SHITSHOW NEVER STOPS!

[quote]Kim & the kids are in danger. Kanye will probably snap one day.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if this ever happened or if he offs himself.

Kanye is a real ginger.

2020: YOU CAN’T STOP THE SHITSHOW!

I agree, R221 - except for the "Sadly" part.

[quote]Would the DL queens who pay good money to see Madonna vote for her for president? (I hope to god not.)

People who enjoy reality TV like Celebrity Apprentice didn’t hesitate to vote for the asshole in office now, so nothing surprises me anymore.

[quote] Russian trollbots posing as Black people are ALREADY celebrating on Twitter! They hope actual Black people will completely fall for it, vote for Kanye, and re-elect Trump. Thanks a lot.

Fixed it for you, concern troll.

And fuck everybody who thinks black people will just vote for ANY fucking lunatic just because they're black.

TRump would think that

Big Question: Can Caitlyn deliver the the all important trans women in the 1% bracket who vote Republican?

Black people aren’t even the ones that buy his records. His fan base is suburban white men that were teens in the aughts.

You guys sound like people who thought Sarah Palin would pick up Hillary voters. It didn’t happen then. It’s not happening now. Black people aren’t stupid.

Btw, this announcement of his is very manic. Wouldn’t be surprised if he swung the other way and killed himself.

Trump is too big of a hate figure that the Black Community is falling for this stunt. And the mainstream has grown a lot smarter and aware of the dirty tricks of the right wing and Russia. What worked in 2016 will not work in 2020. Just look at how Trump fails with his stunts insulting Biden.

gee thanks ass wipe, ev young vote u take away from biden puts trump closer to a win.....fukker!!!!!

Pffffft!!! The American electorate is too smart to vote for someone, just because they're a celebrity.

Has Joe Biden dropped out of the race yet? The doom and gloomers in the beginning of this thread are something else. 😂

I hope kanye loses it and knives the entire Kardashian Jenner clan — cutting out all their fake plastic parts until there’s nothing left.

Geroge Takei had the most entertaining response to this:

I don't think that Kris Jenner is very happy about this. This will force her hand to explain why the family has so many social media followers and yet barely anyone shows up at rallies even with social distancing and masks. Spoiler alert: Most of the social media followers are bots that will not buy anything the Kardashian clan shills. The Kardashians are all hype to make themselves look attractive for companies to be used as spokespersons and influencers.

[quote]Black people aren’t stupid.

That's the irony of white people who think this. Donald Trump is president due solely to white people (and don't be dumb in thinking I'm saying all white people in general). Roy Moore would be in the Senate right now if it weren't for black people preventing it. Dubya and Palin, also. It seems standards are very low with a certain segment of the population who are almost entirely white.

Anyone who thinks black people would gravitate to this moron is projecting. We know who has the history of allowing almost every genuinely stupid or unqualified person to hold office.

OJ, Michael Jackson, Kanye...

They'll vote for him.

R240, what a stupid thinking process you have. You're a genuinely stupid person.

He won’t get anywhere because he’s too incompetent to put together any kind of a campaign. The only way that would happen would be thru a GOP/Trump fund which I think is a bridge too far because they’re pretty incompetent as well.

[quote] Pffffft!!! The American electorate is too smart to vote for someone, just because they're a celebrity.

The black American electorate is. Certain white voters, on the other hand ....

Remind me, r240, when any of those individuals was elected to public office.

I wish him another big fat juicy mental breakdown complete with hospital stay and arduous years of therapy that never works.

[quote]Kanye West announces he's running for president

I'd like to suggest a direction for him to run.

He couldn't handle it. VP Caitlyn would take charge.

I have a clearer understanding of the ongoing use of the guillotine during The French Revolution.

I assume that Taylor Swift is not old enough to be nominated as the Dem candidate for vice-president. Anything to piss off kanye and show off what a great a great christian he really is.

He hasn't submitted any paper work yet. He is not organizing anything to get those signature is he.

I don't know if this is accurate but this DM suggests it was a drunk tweet that started all this.

Certifiably insane.

Mark of the beast.

How does America produce such lunatics?

Nothing but a mentally ill troll w platform

Kanye just tweeted: Over 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years.

This whole thing is tragic. For folks who have mania the majority of time, they feel great and amazing but have accompanying delusions (sometimes narcissistic ones, paranoid ones, or both), sometimes hallucinations, and impulsivity, so they do and say things that seem bizarre and risky (although this does not mean they’re not at all responsible for what they say and do). It can be really hard to convince folks who feel GREAT to take meds that take away the euphoria and happy feeling and just leave them feeling “okay” and stable. It’s a constant tug of war to try to get the person to seek treatment and stay on medications.

She's lost control.

R254 He probably copied that from one of those anti-choice organizations.

It’s something a lot of Black people are saying
