Its scary how words can be twisted.

You are not paying attention. It is entirely possible to be both mentally ill and a genius.

Yep, I seem to remember that, too.

It’s disturbing how quick people are to call someone crazy when they disagree with him. Slippery slope.

you honestly can't see how nuts he is? He stood on the table at Apple store? he said he and trump have dragon blood? Or maybe this is what ALL republicans look like now so its the new norm?

No snark, but I actually think this poster has it somewhat correct: We expect big rich stars to be sorta nuts, and we now also expect Republicans to be sorta nuts. And so when someone combines the two it's a mix of spectacle, confirming expectations, and the also concern about the person's wellbeing.

I think part of what's going on here is that some of us - like ME - worry that despite KW clearly being in the midst of a mental breakdown, and needing help, that he will still have some political influence. So there's a concern for him - and a concern for all of us - all mixed up together.

He's still a genius. Mentally ill, but a genius no doubt.

He has never been a genius. All hype rapper who got lucky with literally ONE good album 15 years ago. Everything else he's done since has been a joke.

He's trash just like Trump. Birds of a feather...

This

I dated a guy for many years that was bipolar. And when people keep insisting that a team or family MAKE this person get help it bothers me cause it's not quite that easy. Like so many things in life you cannot control or make a grown person DO anything. He was hospitalized around this time last year if IRC and I'm guessing that time he was likely to do harm to himself or others. It's very sad. I don't stan for him and that Kardashian family at all but I want to believe they are not just LETTING him do whatever for publicity.

There’s a lot of things affecting our mental health that makes us do crazy things, that puts us back into that trap door that’s called the 13th Amendment. I did say, “abolish,” with the hat on, because why would you keep something around that’s a trap door. If you building a floor, the constitution is the base of our industry, of our country, of our company. Would you build a trap door that if you mess up and accidentally something happens, you fall and you end up next to the Uni-bomber, you gotta remove all that trapdoor out of the relationship. The four gentleman that wrote the 13th Amendment, and I think the way the universe works is perfect, we don’t have 13 floors, do we? You know, the four gentleman that wrote the 13th amendment didn’t look like the people they were amending. Also, at that point, it was illegal for blacks to read, or African Americans, to read. So, that meant if you actually read the Amendment, you’d get locked up! And turned into a slave. Again, so what I think is, we don’t need sentences, we need pardons. We need to talk to people.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was connected with a neuropsychologist that works with the athletes in the NBA and NFL. He looked at my brain, it’s equal on three parts. I’m gonna go ahead, drop some bombs for you. 98 percentile IQ test, I had a 75 percentile of all human beings when it was counting eight numbers backwards, so I’m gonna work on that one. The other ones, 98 percent, Tesla, Freud. So, he said that I actually wasn’t bipolar, I had sleep deprivation, which could cause dementia 10-20 years from now, where I wouldn’t even remember my sons name. So, all this power that I’ve got, and I’m taking my son to the Sox game and all that, I wouldn’t be able to remember his name, from a misdiagnosis. What we need is, we can empower the pharmaceuticals and make more money. That’s one thing, I’ve never stepped into a situation where I didn’t make people more money. So, we can empower pharmaceuticals, we can empower our industries, we can empower our factories, we can bring, not only Adidas on shore, we could bring Foxconn and set up a factory in, I think, Minnesota [corrected by Trump that it’s Wisconsin].


Yeah, Wisconsin. They have 4,000 jobs, people making 53,000 a year. And one of the things we gotta set is, Ford to have the highest designs. The dopest cars. The most amazing. I don’t really say, “dope,” I don’t say negative words and try to flip ‘em. We just say positive, lovely, divine, universal words. So, the flyest, freshest, most amazing car. And what we start with, is – I brought a GIF with me right here. [Scrolls through iPhone to show Trump.] This right here is the iPlane 1. It’s a hydrogen powered airplane, and this is what our president should be flying in. We’re gonna have Apple, an American company, work on this plane.

yep, exactly

He can be both a genius and mentally ill.

I think MOST parents would worry but the Kardashians seem to have odd priorities.
