WooHoo! We've reached a consensus! :-)

OK, Kiki. Peace in the Middle East! We're on it! ;-)

Sounds exactly like Melania Trump. You might also add sitting around reading fashion magazines, f'ing rich dudes for a marriage proposal and "modeling" naked. Sounds like a real classy First Lady.

Has anyone been holding Melania Trump up as the example of a first class First Lady? I don't think they have.

Honestly, I feel like there's no shortage of parallels you can draw between a Kanye presidency and a Trump presidency... From the narcissism, to the lies, to the delusions of grandeur, to the obvious unfitness, to the vacuous disdain for things they don't understand (and the staggering breadth of what that encompasses), to the endless, manufactured provocations they generate that seem to nourish them, to the inevitable catastrophe that's bound to occur the first time they have to deal with a real problem, etc...

Despite all the similarities, I fairly certain nobody is confused about the fact that only one could be a viable candidate in the US... At this point, I'm pretty positive that there's only one political party who'd nominate a candidate with the characteristics I listed, and that party couldn't pick Kanye without enraging >50% of their base.

I heard someone talking about this today, all I could think was, "Is Kanye admitting that Trump needs help to win the next election?" Hmmm, interesting...lol

So Kanye has stated that he would not try to run as a Republican if Pres Trump is the GOP nominee. Instead, he’ll run as an independent, under a new party,....the Birthday Party.

In the interests of our country, we need serious election reform, in part, to prevent this kind of dumbassery in the future.

I'm more and more convinced Idiocracy was a prophecy.

I disagree. There is a long and wonderful history of truly bizarre candidates in the U.S. (at all levels).

If they actually win, we fully deserve it. (like we deserved Trump).

The dude from the Rent is Too Damn High Party was awesome.

My favorite is Vermin Supreme, though.

my favorite was the guy in Chicago who ran on a platform of gladiator fights for Cook County prisoners. The winner of the tournament got a pardon and the ticket sales proceeds would have been used for community development.

I remember that guy! Can't remember his name though... Truth be told some sort of MMA for Cook County prisoners would be quite the spectacle and would probably be safer than a day in gen pop.

Junebug something or other IIRC

And he is out

he needs to be on the debate stage...

That was quick.

He's back in

I very much enjoyed the footage from his campaign "event" on the weekend. It all makes better sense now.

It's like how fast food joints try to convince you that a bucket of Coke is a sensible dietary choice, by also offering you a tub of Coke big enough to drown a bison.

Compared to Kanye, Trump seems not so crazy.
If you still can't bring yourself to vote for the communist who is going to ban your bible, Trump is the reasonable choice.

Hence me wanting him in the debates.
