Cardi B: 'I think I want to be a politician'
The Hill ^ | 01 11 2020 | Aris Folley

Posted on 01/12/2020 8:47:32 PM PST by yesthatjallen

Rapper Cardi B said on Twitter that she is considering entering the political arena.

“I think I want to be a politician. I really love government even tho I don’t agree with government,” the rapper, born Belcalis Almánzar, wrote in the first of a series of tweets about the idea on Sunday.

“Like I was watching war documentaries. No matter how many weapons a country [has] you need people!” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper continued in a follow-up tweet. “How are you trying to go against a country and possibly start a war when this country lacks patriotism? I barely see people claiming they LOVE being American.”

From wikipedia...

Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar was born on October 11, 1992, in Washington Heights, Manhattan.[citation needed] She is the daughter of a Dominican father and Trinidadian mother.[4][5][6] She was raised in the Highbridge neighborhood of the South Bronx,[7][8][9][10] and spent much time at her paternal grandmother’s home in Washington Heights, which she credits with giving her “such a thick accent.”[11] Almánzar developed the stage name “Cardi B” as a derivation of Bacardi, a rum brand that was formerly her nickname.[12] Cardi B has said she was a gang member of the Bloods in her youth, since the age of 16.[13][14] However, she has stated ever since that she would not encourage joining a gang.[15] She went on to attend Renaissance High School for Musical Theater & Technology, a vocational high school on the Herbert H. Lehman High School campus.[16][17]

During her teenage years, Cardi B was employed at an Amish Market in Tribeca.[18] She then began stripping at the age of 19.[19][20] Upon being fired from the supermarket, her former manager recommended she work at a strip club. Cardi B has said that becoming a stripper was positive for her life in many ways: “It really saved me from a lot of things. When I started stripping I went back to school.”[21][22][23] She has explained that she became a stripper in order to escape poverty and domestic violence, having been in an abusive relationship at the time after being kicked out her mothers house,[24][25][26] and that stripping was her only way to earn enough money to escape her dire situation and get an education.[27] She attended Borough of Manhattan Community College[28] before eventually dropping out.[29] While stripping, Cardi B lied to her mother by telling her she was making money babysitting.[30]

In 2013, Cardi B began to gain publicity due to several of her videos spreading virally on social media, on Vine and her official Instagram page.[3]”

Carli B is one disgusting foul mouthed female both in her so called music and real life.....

“Like I swear to God, if I was there, I would have punched the motherf**kin’–I would have motherf**in’ punched the wig out of Trump, bro,”... the New York rapper said in response to Trump serving McDonald’s to Clemson football players.

Calls Trump Supporters.... ‘F**king Racist Rednecks

But - she already has a job as a narcissistic, overpaid, ignorant know-it-all. And we already have an AOC.

Cardi B...."I deadass have sooo much ideas that make sense"...

Another gem from the mind of a racist street hustle stripper.....a mouth breathing moron with a mic....If it weren't for obscene language, these Rappers and Hollyweirds would have absolutely nothing to say or sing about.

I don’t know how to tell her this, but she is not smart enough to be a politician.

And that is a very low bar indeed.

Cardi B is “music” for women who don’t shower and Febreze their panties.

Cardi is an odd one, for sure.
I try to see potential in people I normally don’t like.
When Cardi wants to, she can speak well and speak logically.
I have seen her show some acting talent in the right circumstances. When Cardi wishes to, she knows how to dress and make herself look really nice. She understands the power of color arrangements. That’s a skill that helps any performer.

But speaking well, thinking logically, and dressing well don’t pay the bills. “YouknowwhatI’msayin’?
So the Cardi most often seen by the public is rude, angry, oversexed, overly profane and usually much underdressed
Ghetto Girl. That’s what sells her ‘performances’ and has made her rich. If she can learn to speak without dropping an F-Bomb every other sentence, she may be able to trade careers one day. But it won’t be anytime soon.

If she changes her mind so quickly, she will be a very interesting plotician...

I see what you did there.
(perhaps a typo, but it works :) )
