While it’s a fantastic idea to unplug from our mobile devices, not many of us tweet it out thinking others will care. Unless your name is Kanye West. In order for him to reach his true artistic potential, West has announced that he’s parting ways with his phone. “I got rid of my phone so I can have air to create,” he tweeted on September 14th. It’s never not a weird time for West to get rid of a phone, and he might not have any particular reason for getting rid of it now, However, perhaps the criticism from his Yeezy Season 4 show prompted West to put the phone down. Permanently. It wasn’t a total wash, though. Without a phone he wouldn’t have been able to antagonize his future wife over her romantic choices. West said that the first time he got a phone was in 2011, when he learned that his longtime crush was marrying Kris Humphries (the couple wed in August, but separated 72 days later). “I got a phone because somebody decided they wanted to marry Kris Humphries,” West joked on an episode of Kocktails with Khloe back in April. “I wasn’t up to anything, and I looked on the internet, and there was Kim Kardashian with some extremely tall person, and I was like, ‘I need to call her or something.’” Oddly enough, this relinquishing of the phone could have proved useful to West during his Twitter rants back in February. “Pitchfork, the album is a 30 out of 10,” West tweeted in response to the outlet rating his album, The Life of Pablo . More! “To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.” Aaaaand this. “I love love love white people but you don’t understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves and make it this far.” The latest rant from Kanye? More of a response to Kid Cudi than a rant, but it was highly entertaining to watch. Kanye West BLASTS Kid Cudi: Respect the God! So, now that West is without a phone, will he be using pay phones? Rotary phones? Land lines with cords?! Coming soon: Yeezy Season Five From a Phone Booth. Quarters Required.
Donald Trump Jr. SLAMMED for Holocaust Reference One always has hope for the younger generations, but when it comes to Donald Trump’s kids, one just has to expect the worst. While speaking on Philadelphia radio station, 1210 WPHT , Donald Trump Jr. addressed his father’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton . “The media has been her No. 1 surrogate in this,” the 38-year-old said. “Without the media, this wouldn’t even be a contest, but the media has built her up. “They’ve let her slide on every discrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing.” Wait. It gets worse. “I mean, if Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now,” he continued. “It’s a very different system — there’s nothing fair about it.” Ummm. The National Jewish Democratic Council released a statement in response to Trump Jr.’s comments. “With its allusions to the Holocaust, remarks such as these have no place in a presidential campaign,” the statement read. “Yet, it is not surprising that the Republican nominee’s son would use such language, given the pattern of frequent dog-whistling to anti-Semites and that both Trump the elder and Trump the younger previously have retweeted postings from known anti-Semites. “Both father and son should apologize immediately for this completely inappropriate and offensive reference.” Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin tweeted this in response to Trump Jr.’s comments: “An unsurprising Nazi reference from the “alt-right” movement’s presidential campaign. This is the real Trump.” The Anti-Defamation League was jumped in to offer their opinion. “Trivialization of the Holocaust and gas chambers is NEVER okay,” the organization tweeted, linking to a PolicyMic.com article about the comments. “We hope you understand the sensitivity and hurt of making Holocaust jokes. We hope you retract.” Sarah Bard, Clinton’s Director of Jewish Outreach said Trump Jr.’s comments “just how insensitive, divisive, and reckless the Trump campaign is.” “The bottom line is this—offensive references to the Holocaust are never acceptable, especially from a presidential campaign. This was in response to Trump’s team saying that Jr. was not making a reference to the Holocaust. Jason Miller, the Trump campaign’s senior communications advisor, released a statement declaring that “Don Jr. was clearly referring to capital punishment to make the case that the media continues to take words out of context in order to serve as the propaganda arm of the Hillary Clinton campaign – something that’s only gotten worse as Trump’s poll numbers have improved.” No more Holocaust references, please.
