Kanye West indicates that his spoiler campaign is indeed designed to hurt Biden

By artappraiser on Thu, 08/06/2020 - 6:23pm |

Kanye West was reluctant to attack Trump (who won't attack him), eager to criticize Biden, and all but confirmed his run is designed to harm Biden. So rarely does the quiet part get said out loud as it does in 2020. https://t.co/hHt9YXt2c9

AHA! All starting to make sense now:

The amount of energy the Trump campaign is spending trying to suppress, confuse, and disenfranchise black voters tells me they’ve hit a hard ceiling with whites. They’re gonna spend millions to keep 5% of black voters from supporting Biden. https://t.co/o3KiLawRwV

Wyoming Postcard: Who Is Kanye’s Running Mate?

Residents of Cody, Wyoming—where Kanye West has a ranch—compare notes on Michelle Tidball, the local mystic who works in a dentist’s office and says she can communicate with God.

This is an all-American story...Wim Wenders types would love it.

by artappraiser on Sat, 08/15/2020 - 8:36am

Think you got Wenders backwards - he films angels who want to lose their wings and communicate with people, to see color.
Or the terminally ill or lonely who just need a touch of grace, nothing bombastic.
Or the distraught Harry Dean Stanton who just wants to talk and talk about the girl he loved so much he crushed her with his love.
Or a lovely set of Cuban films, Buena Vista Social Club and a remarkable 2011 one on the dancer Pina.

New Kanye campaign thing: forge shit, see if anybody notices:

"'Is this a joke?', one of the electors, Ilisa Stillman, asked when reached by Intelligencer. 'Holy guacamole,' she replied when informed it was not. 'I’m certainly not supporting Kanye West,' she made clear before ending the conversation." https://t.co/mWTMAYPQT8

It's midnight Sunday on the East Coast which means Kanye West's FEC report is officially two days late. This means he is shielding what he is spending on his campaign and who he is spending it on from the public in violation of federal law. https://t.co/DgejZeMzWG

Doesn't matter if he's able to get democrat votes in Kentucky or Mississippi. They're both deep red states. It would take a miracle for Biden to win there.
