I know, I know. Kanye ran as an Independent. But everyone knows Jared Kushner recruited him in 2020 to do so as a useful idiot to help Republicans.
Their misguided, racist thinking was that, blacks are so stupid, a significant percentage of them would waste their vote on Kanye just because he’s a black rapper. Period.
It didn’t work, naturally.
But, apropos of the pettiness that now defines Republican politics, surely only that explains Senate Republicans willfully blocking a vote on Veterans health benefits recently.
After all, Republicans did so just because they resented how Democrats outmaneuvered them to secure a decisive vote on the Inflation Reduction Act. Never mind that Democrats merely used the same parliamentary procedures Republicans often use to outmaneuver Democrats.
Not to mention that, among other things, this Act will combat climate change, improve Obamacare and Medicare, reduce the deficit, and finally force corporations to pay their fair share in taxes.
Kanye’s a ‘jackass’
That clarified, nobody should be surprised that Kanye reacted to Kim Kardashian announcing her split from Pete Davidson by pouring salt in his wounds.
Think whatever you will of him, but Kanye is just doing what everyone, including Kim, knows Kanye does. After all, this is the same menacing ex who greeted her announcement of this fling by planting media stories that her new boyfriend is not just gay but has AIDS…
When Kim began flaunting boy toy Pete in Kanye’s face, I ridiculed his antics in the blog post “Kanye Is Acting and Rapping Like a Man Scorned; Kim Is Living Her Best Life,” January 29, 2022.
Frankly, I don’t know why any self-respecting adult still gives Kanye the time of day, let alone buy his music and products.
Surely his collusion with former President Donald Trump should have been “canceling” enough. But no less a person than former President Barack Obama properly dismissed him years ago as a “jackass“.
Kim’s a phony
Poor Pete has reportedly checked into trauma rehab to recover from the deadly bullying Kanye subjected him to throughout his relationship with Kim. A trauma surely compounded by having his heart broken (i.e., getting dumped) so publicly… I mean, this poor fool in love already had homages to Kim tattooed all over his body after just a few weeks.
Kim has expressed concern, socially. But I don’t think she really cares. Do you?
Which is why the real story here is Kim faking outrage about Kanye effectively dancing on Pete’s grave.
After all, she’s clearly doing so only to deflect from the heartless and mercenary way she used and dumped lovesick Pete, knowing Kanye would go after him the way he did … and evidently continues to.
Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if she used her fling with Pete just to make Kanye crazy jealous, again knowing it would work exactly as it did. As such, Kim is every bit as hopelessly devoted to her cretinous husband Kanye as Melania is to her cretinous husband Donald.
Pete’s a playa
Even so, Pete’s roster of girlfriends suggests he’ll have no problem finding an A-list beauty to lick his wounds…
Indeed, no less a beauty than bikini supermodel/influencer Emily Ratajkowski was waxing lustful on TV just recently about his sex appeal, which completely escapes a red-blooded heterosexual like me. And it just so happens that she has since filed to divorce her cheating husband.
So, here’s to a match made in rebound heaven – assuming the poor guy can function after that trauma with Kim…
