Defcon level reduced, Mr. Kanye to stand for American President of United States Of America (peace restored?)

Good news, mentally sound genius of our times, literally comparable to Jesus, something something run for President. Again!

Doctor Strangelove with the most right-wing antisemitic man in the universe, but somehow black. Nuclear funzycaust

Guessing probably won't be voting for him. Your loss.

You can watch him babble nonsense say profound shit here -

Kanye West announces 2024 presidential bid

Rapper Kanye West has said he intends to run for US president in 2024, despite facing several scandals over his recent behaviour.

The star, who has legally changed his name to Ye, posted a video of his campaign logo to social media, alongside the caption Ye 24.

He also claimed to have asked Donald Trump to be his running mate.

West previously ran for president in 2020, but that campaign flopped, attracting a meagre 70,000 votes.

His latest claims came in a video posted after West was spotted at Trump's Mar-A-Lago golf club earlier this week, accompanied by Nick Fuentes, a prominent white nationalist.

West said his request for a running mate left the former president, who recently launched his own re-election campaign, "most perturbed".

In a video titled Mar-A-Lago Debrief, West claimed: "Trump started basically screaming at me at the table, telling me I'm going to lose. Has that ever worked for anyone in history?"

He provoked a storm of criticism after attending Paris Fashion Week in a T-shirt bearing the slogan "White Lives Matter" - a phrase adopted by white supremacists, who began using it in 2015 as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

West then claimed his critics were being paid by a secret cabal of Jewish people, a common trope of antisemitism.

As he continued to make antisemitic comments online and in television interviews, the 45-year-old was dropped by his talent agency, while fashion companies including Gap, Adidas and Balenciaga said they would no longer work with him.

The musician later commented that he had lost "two billion dollars in one day".

Earlier this week, Rolling Stone magazine reported claims that West had used "porn, bullying and mind games" to create a "toxic environment" among Adidas employees working on his Yeezy brand shoes.

The company said on Thursday it had launched an independent investigation into the claims.

When West ran for president in 2020, he announced his campaign too late to appear on the ballot in at least six states.

He held only one rally, in which he broke down in tears as he discussed abortion, and funded two television adverts. In the end, he was only listed as a candidate in 12 states.

For his 2024 bid, the rapper suggested he had enlisted alt-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager.

A former editor at the right wing publication Breitbart, Yiannopoulos was largely shunned by mainstream conservatives after a video emerged in 2017 of him appearing to condone paedophilia. He said the comments were "gallows humour" and stated his "disgust" at the sexual abuse of minors.

Most recently, Yiannopolous worked as an intern for Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

I’d love to immediately relegate this to where it’s deserved and would’ve pre-‘16, but after this country was stupid enough to elect Trump, this only fills me with trepidation.

It’s an incredibly sad indictment against our electorate that we actually have to take shit like this seriously.

He'll show Ye....

Lmao.

I like Kanye more than Joe Biden *shrug*

Well you got into politics primarily due to Trump memes. So this is not surprising.

@zaryia: nah Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.

But you always say Trump memes because you hate anyone who doesn't tote your DNC BS

Indeed. Maybe we should have political literacy tests before votes.

I say Trump memes when the person doesn't know anything about politics and paraphrases Breitbart articles.

He's working with Milo....?

@SOedipus: Milo is cool. I saw him him speak while on his dangerous fa**** tour about 8 years ago when I was in college.

I never knew a table could run for President.

Unimpressive at best.

Not surprising.

Still terrible, though.

How so?

Oh please the only one dumb enough to run alongside Kanye would be Elon Musk.

@mrbojangles25: I've always been a fan of his campus discussions on political correctness, free speech, and the irony found in identity politics. I find him witty. He has a good sense of humor. Pushes boundaries.

Fair enough. I can see the appeal if that's what you like. I prefer that quality in stand up comedians though, not people that are involved in the media (as Milo is) or the political process.

I'm just wondering where the sense is in someone like him, who is frankly destructive to political discourse, being part of the media machine.

You and I obviously don't share too many political beliefs (and that's fine), but most folks would agree politics should be constructive, no whatever extent they think politics should be involved in modern life. Milo has always seemed to just throw wrenches in things.

"You spelled deathcon wrong in title." -Kanye

It would be extremely hilarious if this happened.

I hope he wins!

Back to Defcon 3 again. :/

.

Sad seeing the MAGAs and alike exploiting a sick person like this. He's going end up ruining himself.

Even alex jones is like "I don't believe this shit"

@uninspiredcup: one of the best interviews I've ever heard. Raw. Ye is free

Maybe he really is a genius playing 9D Chess, purposefully trying to come across as crazy as possible to disce...

lol. Na.

@uninspiredcup: lol nahhh

Kayne West is a clown this is funny.

its funny watching the right and a chunk of the far right....

yeah he went to far....... now the far far right(uber crazy love it)

He's even making far-right folk delete tweets in shame lol

I'm still convinced though he basically just watched The Batman this morning and decided to larp as a villain.

@uninspiredcup: I watched the first hour and 30 min. Apparently it went over 3 hours, I gotta Finnish it. Really enjoying it. Nick, Ye, and Alex going round table style. Has been very entertaining. Love it. Alex said live viewership broke 35 million.

Apparently he's been banned from Twitter (again?). Good grief. Good gravy. Good gods.

haha!

I don't think anyone is surprised you feel this way.

Musk is getting hammered over this.

5/6 mark.

Must be really weird experience for Alex to have someone else talking insane shit that make him feel uncomfortable.

Can tell pretty easily when Elon bought this was really bugger all to do with fairness or freedom of speech and everything to do with billionaire ego who hangs around Twitter as a self-perceived prophet.

Pretty crazy to watch someone self-destructing so publicly like this. What’s next, him marching down the street in a Nazi uniform throwing salutes chanting “burn Jews burn!”?

When even Alex Jones is saying he won’t go that far, you know you’re in seriously crazy territory. What in God’s name is going on in his head?

Kanye in 3 months.

@uninspiredcup: ye is actually being consistent. He's never said he hates Jews. He specifically says he hates no one, and loves everyone. He said he loves Jews, Mao, Nazis, and even the Zionists who froze his bank accounts.

ye is a real Christian and thinks it's wrong to hate anyone. Him saying every human being brings something of value, is a Christian based view.

@sargentd: You idolize the worst people. Also saying and doing are two different things.

@LJS9502_basic: no man is good, no man is perfect

I think it's cool to see a celebrity follow God and not the ADL.

You have a different definition then.

Enough of this garbage.

When you express acceptance, much less admiration, for a movement and leader that was responsible for the indiscriminate slaughter of millions of men, women, and children, you are, in the corollary, condoning such actions. There is no "ultimate Christian love" or some such nonsense that can excuse such abhorrence. Tell it to those who were terrified as they were shoved into the gas chambers.

If you don't explicitly stand and make vehement statements against Nazi ideology and what it entailed, much less praise it, you are in the wrong. Period. He is absolute scum.

Trump called him "a smart cookie, he gets it, he can speak for me", invited him to the whitehouse and mar-a-lago, will he still say those things now or hold Kanye's tweets against him and denounce them? The GOP seems to be trying to delete their tweets in support of Kanye and hoping to sweep this under the rug... and just think, it only took Hitler to do that! Everything up to that point was OK tho apparently

This has since been deleted.

LMAO this whole thing is hilarious.

So are you willing to go on record and agree that you love Hitler?

@Vaasman: you can't make me hate anyone.

You can't make Ye hate anyone.
