#And as Michelle Obama said--we simply do not have time for that kind of foolishness

[irenespring]

I was going to make my next politics post about Project 2025 and its likelihood of trying to ban fic in the US but then I saw this and fuck it, we're talking about this right now.

Not sure whether my Jewish alarm bells or history person alarm bells are ringing louder, but this is getting really scary. This is Nazi shit. Full-tilt unabashed Nazi rhetoric. He's talking about assigning people numbers and putting them on buses in massive groups. He wants to do it with violence. With the Supreme Court the way it is right now, he could do it. He can kill people with impunity, as long as he's doing it as President. That is the current law.

If you can vote in this election, you need to vote for Harris. Whether you like her or not, she is not using Nazi rhetoric and elevating admitted Nazis (*cough* Robinson in North Carolina *cough*). She is the only one with a shot at victory.

We need to stop this man. If that means making a pragmatic move and voting for someone you detest on some issues but who is not going to assign humans serial numbers and round them up into detention camps bloodily---fucking pinch your nose and do it.

Take it from someone who has to spend a large portion of their week reading history studies...history will not remember your supposed reason for not voting. You will be remembered as a Trump supporter, because you supported Trump.

Tldr: We need to stop this man in this election. Vote for Harris.

Kanye West's 'Presidential Platform': He Dumps Trump, Announces ‘Birthday Party’ Wakanda-Style Presidential Bid, Claims He Had COVID & More Foolishness

Kanye West is …. Being Kanye West. After announcing he was running for president in November, the rapper said he’s no longer supporting Trump, wants to run under the “Birthday Party” banner, plans to run the White House like Wakanda, claims vaccines are the mark of the beast and so much more. Get into Yeezyology 101 inside…

On the 4th of July, Kanye West made a big announcement:

Kanye West - who has NEVER voted - announced he plans on running in the 2020 presidential election. Of course, the Internet was set on fire when he made the announcement. However, it seems 'Ye is just typing tweets.

Former VP @JoeBiden is presumptive Democratic nominee for President!@realDonaldTrump is presumptive Republican nominee for President!

Rapper #KanyeWest hasn’t even completed the required FEC filing to actually be a Presidential candidate & is only running for news headlines!

— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) July 5, 2020

White House correspondent April Ryan noted the Chi-town rapper is merely creating a PR stunt being that he has NOT yet completed official paperwork to even throw his name in the pool to become a presidential candidate.

“Former VP @JoeBiden is presumptive Democratic nominee for President! @realDonaldTrump is presumptive Republican nominee for President! Rapper #KanyeWest hasn’t even completed the required FEC filing to actually be a Presidential candidate & is only running for news headlines,” April tweeted.

Despite the fact that paperwork hasn't been completed to actually run (yet), Ye claims he's in the running to become the leader of the Free World. Oh.

The Jesus Is King rapper sat down with Forbes for about four hours (yes, FOUR) to share his #2020Vision of what he has in store.

“Like anything I’ve ever done in my life, I’m doing to win," he told the publication about his presidential bid.

Ye told Forbes he would be running under a NEW banner called The Birthday Party. Why that name?

“Because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday," he explained.

His campaign slogan is simply "YES!"  It worked for Brian Danielson in the WWE so...why the hell not, right?

Yeezy has already chosen his running mate: Michelle Tidball, a Cody, Wyoming preacher.  Kanye has been spending a considerable amount of time on his ranch since 2018. Michelle is a 57-year-old white woman who runs her own online bible study program in the town.  Because, of course.

When you go to your boys house and you’re both wearing orange pic.twitter.com/IyPOdEKaVY

— ye (@kanyewest) July 1, 2020

As of right now, he says his two advisors are his wife Kim Kardashian West and co-founder/CEO of Tesla Elon Musk. After 'Ye made his announcement about running, Elon tweeted in response, "You have my full support!" If Ye becomes president, he said he wants Elon to run the space program.

“I’m speaking with experts, I’m going to speak with Jared Kushner, the White House, with Biden,” Kanye told Forbes.

As for his alleged platform, the PABLO rapper plans to run the White House with an organizational model based off the fictional country Wakanda from the blockbuster hit Black Panther.

“A lot of Africans do not like the movie [Black Panther] and representation of themselves in��Wakanda. But I’m gonna use the framework of Wakanda right now because it’s the best explanation of what our design group is going to feel like in the White House…That is a positive idea: you got Kanye West, one of the most powerful humans—I’m not saying the most because you got a lot of alien level superpowers and it’s only collectively that we can set it free. Let’s get back to Wakanda… like in the movie in Wakanda when the king went to visit that lead scientist to have the shoes wrap around her shoes. Just the amount of innovation that can happen, the amount of innovation in medicine—like big pharma—we are going to work, innovate, together. This is not going to be some Nipsey Hussle being murdered, they’re doing a documentary, we have so many soldiers that die for our freedom, our freedom of information, that there is a cure for AIDS out there, there is going to be a mix of big pharma and holistic.”

Oh.

Kanye West said he's no longer supporting Trump after proudly rocking the red MAGA hat in 2018.

"I am taking the red hat off, with this interview," the Ultralight Beam rapper said, referring to the red "Make America Great Again" hat.

How convenient.

Ye said he would have chose the Republican route to run for president if Trump wasn't already there.

“I would run as a Republican if Trump wasn’t there. I will run as an independent if Trump is there.”

As for his previous support of Trump, he said:

“Trump is the closest president we’ve had in years to allowing God to still be part of the conversation.”

Excuse us? How, Sway?

Kanye is clearly just talking because back in April he told GQ that he would be casting his first ever presidential vote for his homie Donald Trump.

Yeezy also came after Democrats and presidential hopeful Joe Biden's "you're not black if you don't vote for me" comments during his interview:

“That is a form of racism and white supremacy and white control to say that all Black people need to be Democrat and to assume that me running is me splitting the vote. All of that information is being charged up on social media platforms by Democrats. And Democrats used to tell me, the same Democrats have threatened me…. The reason why this is the first day I registered to vote is because I was scared. I was told that if I voted on Trump my music career would be over. I was threatened into being in one party. I was threatened as a celebrity into being in one party. I was threatened as a Black man into the Democratic party. And that’s what the Democrats are doing, emotionally, to my people. Threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a Black man if you don’t vote for me, you’re not Black," he said.

It's pretty obvious he's still butthurt over President Obama calling him out publicly and the fact The Obamas have become close friends with many powerful couples - like The Carters - but not with The Wests. His disdain for everyone close to Obama and love for everyone who also hates him is QUTE transparent.  It's important to note - as you can see with our current presdient - narcissists typically act irrationally and hold grudges against people they believe have undermined them publicly.

How did the idea of running for president even come about?

“It’s when I was being offered the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Awards at MTV. I remember being at my mom’s house, my mother-in-law, because my house was being worked on, she calls me ‘son’ and I call her ‘mom,’ I was in the shower thinking, I write raps in the shower. It hit me to say, ‘you’re going to run for president’ and I started laughing hysterically, I was like this is the best, I'm going to go out there and they’re going to think I'm going to do these songs and do this for entertainment, how rigged awards shows are, and then say I’m president. And I just laughed in the shower, I don’t know for how long, but that’s the moment it hit me.”

  pic.twitter.com/h5wJyt6upn

— ye (@kanyewest) July 8, 2020

  During the interview, Y'e noted that vaccines are the "mark of the beast" and he's extremely cautious about them.

“It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed… So when they say the way we’re going to fix Covid is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast. They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven. I'm sorry when I say they, the humans that have the Devil inside them. And the sad thing is that, the saddest thing is that we all won’t make it to heaven, that there’ll be some of us that do not make it. Next question.”

The anti-vaxx theory is a dangerous and non-medically founded (by practicing and licensed physicians) stance.

The commander-in-chief hopeful said if he becomes president, it's because God wanted him to be:

“Let’s see if the appointing is at 2020 or if it’s 2024—because God appoints the president. If I win in 2020 then it was God’s appointment. If I win in 2024 then that was God’s appointment.”

God, HELP US. We've endured enough in 2020. We don't need another narcissistic conspiricist capitalizing off sheep too.  And before you say "well none of the candidates work so why not Kanye," stop it.  Nowhere else in your life do you seek out SOLELY the most purest and most perfect outcome in order to support and agree to an idealogy for the greater good.  Not one thing on planet earth is 100% perfect.  Choose the candidate who MOSTLY aligns with your needs, not who can just come and shake the table because you feel like watching the world around you burn to shreds due to your own frustrations and insecurities.  Foks tried that in 2016, and  here we are.

Matt Lewis shoots concern troll blanks; Malkin, ‘minions’ give him drubbing

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/matt-lewis-shoots-concern-troll-blanks-malkin-minions-give-him-drubbing/

Matt Lewis shoots concern troll blanks; Malkin, ‘minions’ give him drubbing

http://twitter.com/#!/adamsbaldwin/status/250249051180773377

Self-pedastalizing is exactly right. The feckless Matt Lewis doubled-down on his “Michelle Malkin is execrable” remark yesterday. As Twitchy reported, the hacktastic concern troll tried to grasp at a straw of relevance by weighing in on David Frum’s despicable attack on Michelle Malkin. When doing so, he called Michelle Malkin ‘execrable,’ and bravely ran away when asked to explain.

@mattklewis doesn't like the "shtick" of @michellemalkin,@davidfrum, inserts himself into their row uninvited, to affirm he's "schtickless."

— di butler (@dibutler) September 24, 2012

Bingo! Yesterday Matt Lewis continued publicly shooting blanks by offering up a piece at The Daily Caller, titled “No apology.” It should have been called “No explanation.” The entire alleged article was a study in Better Than You and Smarter Than You concern-trolling, all used as a way to pat himself on his smug back.

Shorter @mattklewis: Everyone is dishonest but me.

— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) September 23, 2012

See, according to Lewis, he’s awesome and everyone else has a “schtick” and they make an icky living at it. Michelle Malkin’s success? She built that. And Matt Lewis says it does not suit.

Twitchy founder and CEO Michelle Malkin takes Mr. Lewis to the woodshed. Again.

I speak my mind even when it has risked the profits @mattklewis thinks I am singularly wedded to…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 24, 2012

I take crap for all sides and will continue to do so because…

As I say at every speaking event (and yes I get -gasp!- paid), it is a blessing to exercise my political free speech & make a living do so.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 24, 2012

I paid my dues. I always try to abide by my principles. And I try to pay it forward in both large and small ways.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 24, 2012

And that she does. She has built wildly successful websites, employing others and contributing to their success. She promotes “just bloggers” every chance she gets. She treats everyone as an equal, always.

But according to Matt Lewis, being a strong fighter and a successful woman is all icky schtick. Here’s the thing: Mr. Lewis projects too much.

@michellemalkin arrogant @mattklewis projects his own lack of conviction on you to expln how you can 'think like that' (conservatively)

— Wing4Freedom (@Wing4Freedom) September 24, 2012

Guess what being a Beltway Bubble hack is, toots? A schtick. Constantly playing “let’s be fair” and “oh-so-above it all?” Schtick and schtick.

Michelle Malkin speaks truth. That’s not schtick; that’s honesty. Treating people as equals who can understand hard truths? That’s not schtick, that’s human decency. That’s caring about people and our country. That’s being a happy warrior, as opposed to a Smarter Than You jackass who sneers in contempt at those silly rubes who don’t wish to sit on the fence like a milksop. In fact, he went so far as to call those who came to Michelle Malkin’s defense “minions.” See, no one smart could possibly agree with or admire Michelle Malkin. Well, some of her “minions” weighed in today and, as always, brilliantly.

@michellemalkin @mattklewis Wow that's a dumb article. Of course people profit from commentary, it's called a JOB. That's the problem??

— Justin Millikan (@jdmillikan) September 24, 2012

Trying to understand your article @mattklewis When you claim punditry is hyperbolic (I read that as insincere) do you include yourself?

— Chris Loesch (@ChrisLoesch) September 24, 2012

No, no. Lewis is totally Better Than You ™.

The problem with the @MattKLewis piece is that 2 believe what he says about @MichelleMalkin we would have to not know @MichelleMalkin #WeDo

— Teri Christoph (@TeriChristoph) September 24, 2012

Matt Lewis, of course, gets ready to bravely run away again. In a ludicrous statement, he mentions “retribution.” Oh, sweetie; No one needs to give “retribution” to a pesky gnat. Plus, this proves how little he knows Michelle Malkin, who doesn’t have an evil bone in her tiny body!

@jimmiebjr You say "foolish." Do you mean you think I'm wrong on the merits — or that there will be retribution?

— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) September 23, 2012

Bless his heart! Her “minions” continue trying to explain reality to Mr. Lewis, ensconced in his sad, little bubble.

Ms. Malkin's 'minions' only gave you a tiny taste of what she's gone through for years. Fighters beat smarmy whiners every time @mattklewis

And isn't it strange to mock the "Mama Grizzly set" when one put together a book about the most famous Mama Grizzly?

It bears repeating that writing a book about the most famous Mama Grizzly (for profit!), then knocking mama grizzlies is, well, #execrable.

— Teri Christoph (@TeriChristoph) September 24, 2012

Indeed! You know what else it is? Schtick.

Also, @MattKLewis called @MichelleMalkin execrable because she has a "schtick". Matt does too. It's called "bottom feeder."

Why on earth would she care what you have to say anymore, Matt? Plus, wait … what’s this?

LOL mr block is asking why @michellemalkin blocked him. Can I offer you a mirror mr Lewis?

— Jo (@JDtheBard) September 24, 2012

That’s right. Matt Lewis is blocking people simply for agreeing with and supporting Michelle Malkin.

Attacking people for earning a living, @mattklewis ? That's a left way of disagreeing with @michellemalkin

— Jo (@JDtheBard) September 24, 2012

And I've been blocked by @mattklewis for pointing out the obvious. Stay classy Matt.

— Jo (@JDtheBard) September 24, 2012

Since @mattklewis can't take polite disagreement, it's time for mockery. Perhaps he's upset that #justablogger @michellemalkin out earns him

That’s it right there. Michelle Malkin does not talk down to people. She talks with them and she gives voice to the feelings and beliefs of many in this country. You know, people who are willing to fight and not pontificate impotently while going along with the status quo.

These Twitter users sum it all up.

Move out of the way, boys, and save your concern trolling. We don’t have time for that nonsense. Women like Michelle Malkin, and the strong women and men who support them, are too busy doing the job that you can’t.

The State Of The Union Hasn't Even Been Delivered- But Liberals Are Already Crying

Ash Sharp Editor

The state of the union? More like a state of panic.

There is little to be said at this point beyond a heartfelt plea to the American Psychiatric Association to please, for the love of all that is good and pure, recognize Trump Derangement Syndrome as a clear threat to the well-being of millions of non-working American citizens.

How many know-it-all students do you know? Simultaneously self-righteous yet woefully uninformed, Campus Reform managed to net a handful of woke kids to say how racist Donald Trump was at the State of the Union address, which doesn't take place until tonight.

OK, we know that going onto a campus and asking for kids to denounce Cheeto Hitler is a crap-shoot. Too easy, and of course we don't see how many students didn't fall for it, so while I appreciate the gag- we're not going to run a story based on a video. Who do you think we are, Buzzfeed? At Republic Standard, we are professionals. We use hard evidence to show how foolish those darned liberals are. Yes, you got it- we're going on to Twitter.

Memo to journalists and pundits (including Van Jones) who will comment after the State of the Union: a president reading from a teleprompter for 45 minutes without melting down does not make him presidential.

— Norman Ornstein (@NormOrnstein) January 28, 2018

Ha! It's funny because Ornstein is making out like the President is stupid. Heh. Stupid Trump and his mega lame being a successful person. BURN.

Here are my three predictions for the State of the Union: 1) Trump will tout a racist immigration proposal supported by white nationalists, but will do it using normal-sounding rhetoric. 2) He will not smear feces on himself. 3) CNN will lose its mind praising the speech.

— Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) January 30, 2018

Ian. Buddy. Are you ok? This is not normal behavior. Nurse, bring the Vicodin and whiskey.

I hope *ALL* (D)s skip the State of the Union. It's horrific enough that a few (R) women support everything racist old white men do and say. There's no good reason for anyone to attend because no truth will be told there. Don't enable evil. #SOTU #BoycottStateOfTheUnion https://t.co/ROTJyS1M3G

— Bandit Aléatoire (@BanditRandom) January 28, 2018

It wouldn't be an event with the attendance of The Donald without someone starting a hashtag slacktivist campaign to boycott it- don't forget to shame people for being women with different opinions to you while you are at it. Yes, you too can fight against the powers of Literal American Fascism by simply not turning on the TV. Good job. You are also enriched intellectually by learning nothing at all. As the Buddhist sage  Shariputra teaches, an empty mind is a good thing to achieve.

Friendly reminder that you don't have to watch the State of the Union. It's okay if hearing a racist sexual predator talk for an hour is not something you want to put yourself through. It's not your civic duty to traumatize yourself.

— laura olin (@lauraolin) January 29, 2018

Oh my God, did Harvey Weinstein become president overnight? That's it, I'm moving to Canada. Watching someone speak is a traumatic event these days- and we wonder why China is doing so well. If you oppose someone, isn't it a good idea to know what he wants to do? This is why liberals lose. Trump reads Sun-Tzu, and they read Harry Potter.

Let’s hope the media can restrain itself from calling Trump “presidential” if he simply doesn’t say anything racist and moronic during his State of the Union address tomorrow night.

— Greg Shugar (@GregShugar) January 29, 2018

A theme appears. Apparently if the media call the President of the United States 'presidential' some kind of hell-mouth of degeneracy will open up in America. Will it be one to rival California? Who can say? Thanks for reminding your followers that you think Trump is a big ole dum-dum, Greg. I'm sure they didn't know that one.

Pundits, don’t get too excited if Trump manages to deliver his State of the Union address without foaming at the mouth or saying something overtly racist, writes @michelleinbklyn. https://t.co/8wjO0ALUmU

— NYT Opinion (@nytopinion) January 30, 2018

At least the New York Times won't be complicit in destroying the nation by saying something positive about Donald Trump. So if he doesn't literally froth at the mouth like an animal you're saying that is a good thing, right? Would you be happier, Michelle? Here for you.

OK, alright. enough of the lollygagging. There is a serious point here. As Politico reports, the boycott idea has extended to Congress:

Several House Democrats announced they would not attend, including Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), John Lewis (D-Ga.), Jan Schakowsky, (D-Ill.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.). Reps. Jayapal, Lewis, Waters, and Wilson decided to skip it after Trump’s incendiary comments on Haiti and other African countries. Blumenauer will instead send a DACA recipient, a so-called Dreamer, in his place to “remind Trump that these are real people with families and jobs, who are vital to our communities.” Schakowsky, who is also boycotting because of president’s comments, said in a statement, “The American people have been subjected to a year of racist, erratic, and divisive behavior from their Commander in Chief, and I refuse to accept that as the new normal.”

Well, first things first, Ayanna and Elizabeth of Politico, I hate to break this to you but Haiti is not an African country. It lies about 700 miles off the coast of Florida, you know. It is, however, a country that was exploited extensively by the Clinton Foundation, you might have read about it. You won't have read about it in Politico, of course. They've never covered that story, despite writing puff pieces about the Clintons for years. Weird!

Secondly, I wonder what the policy of having ICE agents loiter around in the House Chamber is? There is still plenty of time for Democrats to send lots of Illegal Aliens to see Uncle Donald in person. Why not? That would show him. Attention, Earl Blumenauer. You represent Oregon's 3rd Congressional District, which is more than 72% White people. Who do you think you are fooling? You don't live with non-White people, what do you know about their vitality to the community or otherwise?

Jan Schakowsky is worse- a career in politics only notable for its anonymity, save for the last time she boycotted a politician speaking in Washington. Yes, Schakowsky turned her back on Netanyahu in favor of bowing to the Ayatollah and supporting Obama's failed nuclear deal. Schakowsky has said nothing in support of the struggle for democracy in Iran. Her husband was behind the 'bird-dogging' plot to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies during the election.

Excuse me then, if I don't take your example of moral leadership to be worth very much, dear Representatives. Perchance, when you have achieved something, led something. Build anything instead of just breaking stuff because you don't have any better ideas, then my head will be turned.

Finally, lets talk about this whole idea of politicians boycotting each other- and I don't let Republicans off the hook either, many of them did the same to Barack Obama. That was just as dumb, for the same reason. The State of the Union is not for the House Democrats to avoid. More important than whether they personally agree with the President or not, the position to which they have been elected demands them to be informed. To understand what is happening in government, to assist the people of America. So, all these fine political minds will boycott- and watch the address at home, like everyone else. No networking with other politicians afterward, no conversations across party lines, no effort to make the nation great again at all. Yet, Schakowsky says it is President Trump who divides, instead of building.

If these political titans were only a little smarter I would credit them with some Alinksyite tactical maneuvers, but no. It is our old friend the virtue signal. Grow a spine! If you cannot even face your enemy in his most powerful moment, how can you expect to capitalize on his weaknesses? If this kind of behavior was coming from my allies, I would be hopping mad. As it is, all I see is more reason to pity Democratic voters across America. For all that I know that they are following a poor ideology, they deserve better representation.

Making America Great Again takes more than one man giving a State of the Union address, yuge though it will surely be. It needs kids at universities to actually pay attention, so they don't fall for cheap gags. MAGA needs Democrats to be smart opposition to ensure that the reforms that the country needs receive the correct opposition and scrutiny.

Nobody needs stupid kids who won’t learn and cowards in politics who won’t lead.
