Cardi B can eat shit. If your shoes get ruined by walking they aren’t shoes.
Dumb shoe thing or no, the real issue here is that she thinks $3K is enough to get someone “undeported”.
Not a chance.
Knowing Cardi B’s history and politics, this sounds like some humorous shit-talking. “Thanks, Obama.” vibes.
See Uncle, I tried, but Trump ain’t budging, so uh you’d better just stay deported.
From the headline I thought he stepped on them or something, but no:
Cardi B took to social media following the big game and said Secret Service presence at the game forced her to do some walking, which ruined her $3000 shoes. Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The musician then showed off her spiked high heels. Cardi B said the Christian Louboutin stilettos were damaged when she was forced to walk because cart services ended at a certain point in the night at the request of the Secret Service.
“Look how fucked up my shoes [are]. This shoe cost me three bands. All because of Trump. Now I like him lesser!” she said. “Now I like him lesser because you didn’t have to go to no Super Bowl. Fucking up my shoe. Now I don’t really like him.”
THAT was your breaking point?!
Wow. “I bought shoes that you’re not meant to walk in, and now they’re damaged because I needed to walk.”
Not on this planet at all.
You missed the punchline, one instant later.
She claimed her uncle was deported as part of Trump’s mass deportation plan.
Way to bury the fucking lede. When did this happen? Why the fuck did neither Mediaite nor Cardi B think that part was important, except to clarify one aspect of how she thought shoe justice could be achieved?
Imagine being her uncle…
Seriously. Soul-crushing. I bet he also really liked those shoes. Now they take that from him, too.
I needed a good laugh, and this delivered. Thank you, and thank you OP.
Im amazed Trump is the only president to ever attend the super bowl though.
Probably because of the logistical nightmare for both the Superbowl organizers and the secret service, just doesn’t seem remotely worth the sheer cost and risk involved
They have vip seating at every event. That’s nothing new.
What is new is the secret service and big security bubble around this specific “VIP”.
Ok?
Yeah, those VIPs are not anywhere near the target or have anywhere near the security detail as a sitting president
The President at the Super Bowl worked out so well in The Sum of All Fears
Is that the one with John Malkavics home made gun?
No, that’s Nick of Time, where Denzel Washington investigated a murder at the White House.
Ahh ok yeah. Thank you.
There was a pocket of time with some great political thrillers.
The headline had me thinking it was some convoluted critique of his decisions, but no, she’s actually just pissy about her shoes and her uncle is nothing more than an aside.
She said she likes him “lesser” now so I’m pretty sure she didn’t care for the dude before this. This was just even more bullshit from the orange bastard.
He got the “lesser?” Trump is def not a top-notch ho, confirmed.
Honestly this seems too absurd even for the onion!? What the fuck lol
If your shoes cost $3000 and walking ruins them, maybe that’s on you.
There’s a certain type of wealthy-person stuff that proves its value by being incredibly impractical or fragile. “Not only did I spend way too much for this, I already know that it’ll probably fall apart soon, and I’ll have to buy another.” Being able to bring up again how expensive it was and how pissed off you are that it fell apart is just another good opportunity to let everyone in the vicinity know that you buy absurd rich-girl stuff. That’s actually better than still having the stupid spiky shoes.
Martini glasses:
Art deco French cocktail ware from the 1920s designed to be dumb but bold and it’s ease of breaking showed a wealth during a terrible time.
Wealthy people love to break their stuff almost on purpose to make sure it stays special and then regular people buy into it
Ha, reminds me of how grassy lawns started out as a status symbol to show off that you were so rich that you needn’t use your land for agriculture or gardening.
For a while, I used to sometimes pack up wealthy people’s stuff as part of my job. At one point I was packing up wineglasses that were, no joke, about a foot and a half (0.5m) tall made of thin crystal. When the job was done, the guy gave the workers checks for $500, as a tip.
Those are about $200-300 each if they are the glasses I expect they are. They don’t make that much of a difference from the $75 glass. That $75 glass is an improvement over the $25 glass but that really depends on if you are putting any effort into tasting.
There’s tons of conspicuous consumption that goes on just to prove how much money that consumer has. But there’s also those rich people who do the “buy it once” thing. They’ll spend a mint on a durable, handmade pair of shoes that last 20 years, and then they’ll get them re-soled for less than a new pair would cost.
Those are just reasonable people and I have never met one that has been rich that way through frugality alone and anywhere near the level of wealth of those that aim to show it off even if the frugal person’s bank account is far more in the green than the consumerist.
You have met them, you just didn’t know it.
They’ll be the people with a slightly nicer house who seem like they’re retired but are only 40. They’ll secretly have $25m in their investment portfolio but only draw 80k/yr for living expenses. They’re not trying to live ostentatious lives because they prefer the ‘American dream’ likestyle over the wealthy ‘travel all over the Western world and flaunt your wealth to be the main character’ lifestyle.
The husband dresses like a skater out of the 90s and his wife teaches music or art at the local high school and is also the largest booster (well in excess of her salary). These are honestly the most common type of ‘rich’ people. By rich, I mean financially independent rich, not ‘private space program’ rich or ‘overnight celebrity/lottery winner’ rich.
I worked for a years at a financial advisor, the owner had tens of millions of dollars. He drove an ancient civic, brought leftovers for lunch and wore the same set of Vans for as long as I knew him. Most of the clients were like this, though sometimes they’d have a spouse/partner that wanted a luxury car, or they’d take a vacation once a year that was more expensive… but if you ran into them at the grocery store you’d think they were just some guy.
been rich that way through frugality alone
No of course not: the rich get rich because they acquire lots of money (usually via inheritance, but whatevs). I didn’t claim frugality can make a person rich, just that some rich people are frugal, in contrast with the conspicuous consumers we most often hear about, nor am I advocating it as a financial strategy. Being rich makes a person an asshole, but it doesn’t necessarily make them the kind of person who’ll buy $3,000 shoes that don’t work.
I gave my dad riedel crystal martini glasses twenty five years ago. He still has 3 of the 4. Some people take care of stuff they own.
They make swimsuits that are dry clean only, so shoes you can’t actually walk in doesn’t surprise me.
Lol, a swimsuit you can’t wear when swimming. What’s next, a decorative toilet you can’t shit in?
Shit like that being dry clean only is just a designer being lazy. If you ruin it washing it that’s on you type of bs. If you take it to a dry cleaner they will wash it in a washing machine.
I don’t think a really good designer brand is doing that.
I think the point here is that you’re going to be wearing it in the water even though it’s “dry clean only.”
My guess is that these “swimsuits” are not expected to go into the water at all, only to be shown off on photo shoots and lounging around the pool.
That’s exactly what they’re for.
Fuck rich people.
Cardi B was terrible when she was poor too. Used to legit fuck dudes and then rob them.
I like that part though.
Those quotes make her sound really stupid. Is she? I’m not familiar at all
Yes she is
She’s dumb as fuck.
She does sound like she’s currently on page 2 of her copy of “How to learn goodder English real quicker”.
Ex-stripper, so yes.
How do you whore yourself out for a living? Let us know so we can objectivify your dumbass.
Okay fuck you
What kind of shoddy shoes get ruined if you walk around a stadium with them?
Really expensive ones I guess
oh nooo you had to walk in your shoes
“Look how fucked up my shoes [are]. This shoe cost me three bands. All because of Trump. Now I like him lesser!” she said. “Now I like him lesser because you didn’t have to go to no Super Bowl. Fucking up my shoe. Now I don’t really like him.”
Everybody has a line…
Holy shit this woman can’t even eat with her mouth closed.
The heroes we deserve?
