Kanye West Talks Politics, Might Sound More Presidential Than Donald Trump
At last year’s VMAs, Kanye West announced that he plans to run for president, and we all had a good laugh.
Then we found out who our actual candidates would be, and the whole thing seemed considerably less funny.
Suddenly, the idea of a President Yeezy doesn’t seem quite so ridiculous.
Alright, fine – it still seems like the lunatic ambition of a cartoon supervillain.
But remarkably, the rapper actually made some level-headed, well-reasoned comments about the current political climate when asked about his designs on the White House in a recent interview.
Kanye says he’s given up on his political dreams (our loss, America. Our loss.), but he still has “a view on humanity, on people, on the truth.”
“If there is anything that I can do with my time and my day, to somehow make a difference while I’m alive, I’m going to try to do it,” sayeth Yeezus.
Nothing earth-shattering, but hey, at least it’s not plagiarized, right?!
Seriously, though it’s like we’re seeing a different side of Kanye these days.
Last time the rapper talked politics, he wound up just going on one of his signature rants about how “sweatshirts are the future.” Seriously.
Maybe he’s been chastened by accusations that he posted Taylor Swift revenge porn on the Internet for millions to see.
Or maybe the 39-year-old father of two is just finally starting to grow up.
Either way, we could get used to the idea of a mellower, less erratic Kanye.
Sadly, we don’t imagine it’ll last.

Arrow Season 4 Episode 7 Recap: Politics Not as Usual
Talk about the perfect combination of intense fight sequences and important character moments on Arrow Season 4 Episode 7.
This installment of The CW hit had it all.
Including a family reunion? Sort of, as Diggle learned that one of the “ghosts” the team went up against when trying to steal something from a biotech company was his supposedly dead brother Andy. Hooray, right?
Not exactly, seeing as Diggle was disturbed by the shady stuff he read about Andy in a file from Dahrk.
On the political side of things, Oliver decided on the restoration of Starling Bay as a major part of his mayoral platform.
This prompted Damien Darhk to appear at a PBA benefit to kind of offer Oliver support… but to really strongly warn the aspiring mayor to steer clear of the bay – otherwise, he may suddenly find himself “opposed.”
Elsewhere, Felicity turned to Ray (who watched his own funeral; saw that no one really cared; and later decided to leave town) to assistance in examining a ghost’s tooth.
It eventually gets traced to a former psychiatric hospital, which they figure was a home base for H.I.V.E.
Diggle has no interest in it, but Oliver, Thea and Laurel break in and Thea ends up knocking Andy out.
When she gets confronted by Dahrk and he goes in for the Death Grip… it backfires?!? Huh?
While this is taking place, Oliver is fighting outside and he gets a hand from The Atom and also from Diggle, who jumps in at the last moment.
Back at the lair, Oliver ends up agreeing with Diggle’s idea to take on Darhk in broad daylight, as opposed to from the “inside.”
John then goes to talk to his locked-up brother, who isn’t exactly in a bonding mood and who also confirms that every dirty detail in his file is “true.”
Finally, Oliver meets the media to talk up his bay restoration project, throwing it in Darhk’s face and vowing to “fight for Star City in the light of day, and never stop fighting.”
The speech was so on point, it led us to wonder: Was Oliver outing himself as the Green Arrow?
Go watch Arrow online for yourself and see if you end up with the same question.
