Hello everyone, as Kanye West is releasing his new album, he is asking us for our prayers to help him get through the hard times.

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/698699904303132672

Only the men should pray for him though, no women prayers please, Kim will get upset.

Reminder that Kanye West is just a patsy that money and media roll out to absorb public rage and vitriol so that people don't actually rage out against the lack of money, education, healthcare, well paying jobs, clean water, and/or joy in their lives. Or mobilize against the overabundance of illegal wars, for profit prisons, bullshit politicians, billionaires siphoning more money out of your mom's paycheck, and so on.

Id pray for alot of people, but I am having a hard time to pray for this guy.

Imagine, if by some hosed up event that would cause a disturbance in the force back to the days of loving Dinosaurs (well maybe it did, why did they go instinct?)... he becomes President. Better invent your personal space ship and get the gently caress off this planet then.

A bankrupt Kanye West owes you $53, he's got a problem. A bankrupt Kanye West owes you $53 million, you've got a problem.

If he's hard up for cash he can always ask Kim to do another video. He's already worn the skirt, he can hold her purse too.

Just because he's X amount of money in debt doesn't mean his net worth is -X. It just means he owes debts that he hasn't paid or isn't paying. It's possible, and pretty likely, that he has assets worth millions that he either is refusing to liquidate or can't.

Well if his net worth is still 40 million or whatever, then why are we praying for him??

You're forgetting that this graphic shows his wife being worth another 85 Mil. Bullshit he is actually anywhere near being broke. He's just having a meltdown.

Look buddy, if you had $1,000 in your bank account and you owed someone $500, you'd be stressed out. This is the same situation, there's just a few more zeros involved.

Also at any point Kim could leave and take half his network then what?

one that expressly violates a nation's own laws. since the US has ratified the UN Charter, that includes the Iraq War (2003-2011) and paramilitary and military incursions into countries like Yemen and Pakistan, but not the subsequent Iraqi intervention that started in 2014 or the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.

What happens when illegal war is called? Do all the troops just go home? IDGI. The man in charge says "gently caress it, we're going to war." and the troops go to war. Worst case you don't win the next election.

That's not usually how it works. In American law, Congress has to authorise any military action, so the legislature is essentially passing a law making the conflict lawful. If the President wanted to go to war, and Congress refused to authorise it, and he sent out orders to the military initiating military action, the order could be (and should be) refused and in theory the President could be prosecuted for issuing unlawful orders, though I suspect what would actually happen is the orders would be carried out and we'd all just let it slide and accept the erosion of our Constitutionally-mandated separation of powers.

In theory someone could challenge the resolution that authorised the invasion of Iraq in 2003 on the grounds that it's directly contradictory to the UN Charter which has been ratified as part of American law, but it's never happened, and I wouldn't speculate on what would happen if such a challenge were successful. Obviously since that conflict is over, "calling it off" wouldn't be an option.
