Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, says the Internal Revenue Service has put a $75 million hold on his accounts.

Ye talked about his financial situation during a Monday night episode of the right-wing "Timcast IRL" podcast that also featured white nationalist Nick Fuentes and alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos. Speaking to host Tim Pool, Ye said his "finance people" told him he is going to "have to pay a lot of taxes."

"I'm talking about literally finding out that they were trying to put me in prison this morning," the rapper said....

...— the rapper said he was trying to buy his own bank and wondered aloud if he could run for president from jail...

I don’t think he fills out his own 1040s.

I would imagine by the end of 2023...this guy goes off for 6 to 12 months of jail, and his career is finished up.

This is proof that the irs only goes after enemies of the state. They never went after him before he started speaking out.

Same is true for President Trump.

“Right wing”, “white nationalist”, “alt-right” all in the same sentence. That’s got to be some kind of modern journalist hat trick right there.

West should talk to Sharpton. HE knows how to NOT pay taxes and get away with it.

i did some research on fuentes

had not heard of him before this

every article leads with “holocaust denier”

but i could not actually find any quote or comment that supported the accusation

could it just be another LEFTIST smear?

Daily Wire had a video of Fuentes talking about baking cookies and how difficult it would be to bake 6 million cookies in the 5 years of the holocaust.

Fuentes is an agitator and often uses the holocaust as his means to agitate.

He is not someone useful to our side in any way. His association with Ye (who has bought into black Jewish revision) makes him less useful.

Trump was totally stupid to allow them to join him for dinner. It is clear Trump does not have staff that checks backgrounds of his guests.

I’m expecting Kanye to be bankrupt as well.

Most likely path:

Audit by IRS.

He owes 50-100m in taxes.

State jumps in for another 10m.

Liens are filed. Account levied.

Unable to do debt service.

Bankruptcy is filed.

Discovered his managers agents lawyers “stole” or over billed or somehow got another 10m+ and he chases those rabbits.

No bank will deal with him. No sponsors. No cash flow. Assets seized.

Kanye is the example being made for all blacks who may speak out, go Trumpian, or - his worse offense - question the power structure and money split of black entertainment (sports, music, etc.).

He appears to be bipolar and someone should have stepped in. All he had to do was shut up and enjoy his life. Instead he blew up his life.

I think he’s bankrupt within 24 months. Takes some time for the machinery to grind and the effects of no cash flow to play out.

All I saw was he seemed to be a Milo type agitator queer with less wit.

One video has him talking about banking six million cookies and implying the number was too high.

Is that it? There are actual deniers of the Holocaust out there. Visit 4chan. They aren’t using jokes or coded language.

But honestly I knew nothing of the guy until this. He seems like a troll and Kanye should have been avoided by Trump. Likely he was there as a “posse member” but Trunp should have avoided the trap. Background check on anyone invited to meet with him. Pre screening.

Yes, Fuentes is a troll more than a real anti-Semite. But if that is where he wants to dance, then he wears the label.

Trump gets Secret Service protection and they screen who he is going to meet with. The fact that Trump does not have one person working with the SS to see people's backgrounds indicates a real problem.

Was that other $25 million because he is black or because he wants to be a conservative?

Interesting you mention Milo. Salty mentioned on Sunday that Milo is Ye’s campaign manager and that Milo is furious with Trump because he claims he’s been persecuted for “helping to get Trump elected” so he’s out to destroy him in retaliation. The speculation is that Milo was behind Ye getting Fuentes to go with him to Mara Lago hoping it would jam up Trump.

I think a certain number of Trumps secret service want Trump to fail and fail in ways great and small. These people are likely to be embedded by Never Trumps or GOPe.

Meanwhile the leftist media worships the NY Times which covered up the Holocaust
