"It's Better Now Than When Obama Was in Office," Says Kanye West

From the article:

“I buy real estate,” West said. “It’s better now than when Obama was in office. They don’t teach you in school about buying property. They teach you how to become somebody’s property.”
“No, I’m definitely voting this time. And we know who I’m voting on,” he added. I was told my career would end if I wasn’t with [Hillary Clinton]. What kind of campaign is that, anyway?”

After reading this, I had two thoughts.

1) Kanye West should Google the term useful idiot.

2) Kanye should really spend more time writing his songs.

Collapsing economy
25 million more unemployed
Tens of thousands dead from coronavirus
America's standing in the world obliterated


Obama said Kanye was a jackass. He was right.

Kanye West is a jackass.

And that's apparently all that matters to West. He can scoop up properties for low prices right now. Everything else is immaterial.

I would rather sit in a psych ward and chat with all the Jesus Christs around.

One problem is that somebody who is looking through a cracked glass with foggy goo in it is given attention because of celebrity. The arrogance of "I know SOME THING" is repugnant when it is based on a delusional distortion of anything resembling a consensus reality.

He can stick to using that for his creative efforts and would people please stop asking him what he thinks on any other subject? Fixed!

and she’s really gotten involved in criminal justice advocacy in recent years. I don’t know why she doesn’t jettison Kanye.

and if he won't do that, he should go away, do his own thing out of the spotlight and leave the shameless publicity stunts to Kim.

I would think he sees himself as a brave rebel, or something similar.

How much money does he have, and how have Pussy-Grabber's tax cuts helped him? I'm sure he profited bigly.
