CORRECT.

You’re thinking of Khloe Kardashian, a beast who you’re free to saddle Kim with by association. Kim literally deserves to take shit for some of the stuff in her family she tolerates.

You are correct about that. Good thing Kim’s not the one measuring the content of another person’s tweets to determine whether they’re contributing to important causes.

No, it’s not. The “discuss important issues only” goal posts were established by Taylor Swift and her friends. Turns out Taylor Swift and her friends are less inclined to use their platforms to discuss important issues than Kim Kardashian. That’s hypocrisy.

But when did Kim ever say she was doing everything she can? Since when is “doing everything you can” the standard we hold citizens’ political engagement? Gomez & Company are painting themselves as too troubled by “important” issues to care about Kim and Kanye when in reality, they don’t seem remotely bothered or…

Did not call her a beacon of activism. Said she was extraordinary (above and beyond “ordinary”) in the passion and clarity of her remarks about certain causes. She’s not just expressing grief and condolences. Which is more than most of the people defending Swift right now can say. Some of them, as I point out, haven’t…

I didn’t include her in my comment?

I would also add that Kim has been extraordinarily vocal about political/social causes like gun control, political participation, national and international tragedies (with clear and specific calls to action) and other important issues. As a citizen, she’s doing her part and using her profile to raise awareness and…

Well she’s clearly a husk of a human without whatever that young man took from her! He should give it back so she can start acting like a principled adult.

Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind. And she’s still bitter AF about it. Sanctimonious asshole.

I’m sure that if editing truthers reach critical mass, Kim will be happy to release the whole thing in full somehow. I’d say nine or ten snapchats in a row of the juiciest bits counts as “due diligence” thusfar.

It falls apart anyway because Swift’s spox said she “cautioned Kanye against releasing a song with such a misogynist message.” So either she had no clue that “bitch” was in the song or she knew and tried to talk him out of it. Those two things aren’t consistent. Particularly because her team claims there was only one…

I’m sorry—did you read my comment? I’m suggesting that Kim went ahead with the release because her team found she has sufficient (“ironclad”) evidence to prove that Taylor was aware and consenting to the recording. You may disagree with that premise, but “without Taylor’s permission” has nothing to do with the point I…

Kim isn’t stupid. She introduced these recordings in her GQ cover one month ago. Since then, gossip items suggest Taylor’s team has worked to keep them private via cease-and-desist letters. That means Kim’s legal team has been involved in the matter.

“Pretend” was a bad word choice. I meant to say I wasn’t familiar enough with the facts to decide who to blame (skimmed/could not watch the video), but “let’s accept that version” to raise the other point I made. Which is that Hillary was among the people affronted by that situation, and was conveniently left out of…

Let’s pretend that Connie Chung did provoke this admission. Why would she owe an apology to literally everyone except the woman who got called a bitch?

I don’t think I’d call it a “leak.” Trump did a photo op for breakfast with Pence yesterday. Newt spoke freely about being vetted. There seems to be no effort to mask who’s in the running—especially when the flip side of the story is how many GOP pols refused to be vetted.

This might be the first time I identify with Donald Trump?

Can’t wait til she wins a GRAMMY for it.

Madonna is your example of masterful PR manipulation? I’m the kind of fan who buys front-row tickets to see Madonna in concert and I’ll gladly admit that her public image is a disaster. Not because her last album was bad, not because she’s not an icon—because nobody in Madonna Inc. knows how to position her in 2016.
