It Isn't Funny Anymore

With her mother, O.J., and stepfath-,...stepmoth-,...okay, that dried up old clam, getting more attention than her, Kim Kardashian West, a.k.a. Mrs. Jesus Christ, decided to Tweet a(nother) nude selfie. Personally, I'll be happy when this overrated (shouldn't be rated to begin with) sofa cushion vanishes social media. Until then, I'm perfectly fine watching her collapse into herself like a neutron star. 

Her selfie(s) didn't go unnoticed, and it's hard to tell if they were tended to in the way she had hoped. Chloe Grace Moretz, star of Carrie and Dark Shadows, took to Twitter to school Kim K. on the importance of being a role model, and setting goals for young women.

It is, after all, National Women's Day.

Better than you, in every way.

Instead of ignoring Moretz, Kim K. decided to "welcome" her to Twitter since "no one knows who she is," and condescendingly complement her nylon (whatever that means). It should be noted that Moretz has worked consistently as an actress since she was seven and at nineteen, hasn't registered at the Bynes-Reid-Hilton School of Post-Adolescent Uselessness. In fact, she's already been in a lot of big movies and her career is only beginning. 

But the message at its core was lost on Kim K. who took the opportunity to prove that she's not just a bitch, but a stupid bitch. After her backhanded "welcome" she made some comment about an $80M video game check and paying off Mr. Christ's $53M debt. I wasn't aware Kim K. was a gamer, made video games, or "starred" in them, but, well, you know...

As Moretz pointed out..."goals."

Just in case anyone wasn't sure how insecure Kim K. was by the end of the day, she trolled Bette Midler with a joke about her age, then dared her to "send nudes #justkidding". 

Honestly, this must be what it was like to watch the Titanic sink.

I'm not even sure who Kim K.'s target audience is anymore, because she's certainly not attracting new male followers with these antics. The only reason I read about this is because she was torn apart by BroBible and AskMen for these ageist and sexist remarks, two sites that don't shy away from superficially celebrating the female form. It seems she's now just taunting female celebrities who've made careers out of, you know, careers, daring them to prove they're better than Kim K.'s...body

I honestly don't know what else she does.

If that wasn't enough for the First Family of Trash, Kim K.'s stepfather, short-time stepmother, now sometimes-costar Caitlyn Jenner spent some unwarranted time in the spotlight saying Hillary Clinton "couldn't care less about women." Mind you this is from a woman who's been a woman for exactly twelve months, and only because she said so. Think what you want about Hillary Clinton, but she's spent her career - her life - breaking down barriers from the courtroom to the battlefield for future generations of women. Jenner, on the other hand, is an Olympian-turned-Wheaties-spokesman who dove into the unreal world of reality television to advocate for the rights of self-professed women to look more feminine

Sorry, Cait, Hillary's dick is bigger than yours ever was and she doesn't care. 

Jenner went on to say that "any" of the GOP candidates would be better for the trans community than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders despite, oh for fuck's sake, any amount of irrefutable evidence I'm not going to bother to dig up on Google. 

Mind you, again, all of this unfolded on National Women's Day.

This, people, is why caricatures like Donald Trump are viable candidates. We've cut the breaks on the clown car and thrown it off a cliff, and we're watching the circus burn instead of considering the reality that these unreal cartoons are actually influencing our decisions. This would all be laughable if it weren't so serious. America is facing its season finale and writers are scrambling for a plot. 

WAKE THE FUCK UP. 

A Kardashian, a Jenner, a Real Housewife, or a Trump. What's the difference?

The sad thing is, I can't sympathize with a single Trump supporter, but I can understand why they exist. He's a tyrant, a zealot, and a dip-shit, but even Hitler was smart. A "Queens-born casino operator" wouldn't be able to wrap Southern evangelicals around his finger without a brain. The world's most evil geniuses are wickedly intelligent. 

What I can't understand is why any remotely intelligent civilian follows the subhuman ilk that encompasses the parasites of reality television - the Kardashians, the Jenners, the Real Housewives - all held to the litmus of the "short-fingered vulgarian," Donald Trump himself. A "guilty pleasure" does not exonerate you from guilt, it admits it. You are actively dumbing down a nation and enabling the relevance of the nation's most ignorant by watching these shows. You are electing Donald J. Trump.

Come November, if you "like" or follow Kim Kardashian, Caitlyn Jenner, or Donald Trump out of some kind of morbid sense of humor, know that you are responsible for not only Trump's rise to power, but also the minions he appoints. 

It just isn't funny anymore.
