Say what you will about my kids, but at least neither of them has beheaded me due to my service in the federal government.
I mean...yet.
That guy said the exact same thing the day before his head came off.
Power of positive thinking. His job is presidenting. Say it enough, believe in it, and I mean really really believe in it, and it will come true!

She also endorsed Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen (while speaking against Marsha Blackburn) and Democratic House candidate Jim Cooper. The former endorsement was a big scene in her documentary as she was arguing with her dad and PR people about wanting to speak out and take a side.
MAGA going after her is the absolute worst strategic move they could make. Not only are they pissing off Swifties, they're generating tons of content upon social media about their misogyny. Pissing off an already pissed off female electorate is the absolute last thing they need to do to win this election.
SSHHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Don't worry. There's no way they can't attack her. It's pretty much hard-wired at this point.
I read that Trump's team is already preparing lines of attack should she endorse Biden.

MAGA or not, this guy is obviously mentally disturbed. His delusions go beyond those of your ordinary crazy MAGA.

If there's one thing Trump knows well, it's bullying. And the first rule of being a bully is never pick on someone bigger than yourself who will fight back. Right now, she's bigger and the swifties will fight back.
The fact that he hasn't already tweeted some defamation at her is telling. Things may change if he gets backed into a corner or if the winds change but as things are now, his well honed bully instincts are guiding him.

Yeah, this guy was clearly broken and it has nothing to do with his ideology. Drumpf also had his run-in with a crazy, although he didn't kill his father first, I don't think.

Still, it doesn't help when your inclinations towards delusional thinking are reinforced 24/7 by media designed to radicalize you.

Are we sure about that? Could it not have been his ideology that led to him breaking?

I can’t wait to hear what the eventual pejorative he uses for her will be. I think we should try to guess before it surfaces.
Taylor Swiffer (sucks)
Traitor Swift
Trailer….???
Taylor Shifty. That sounds more like him.

Traitor Swift and Taylor Shifty are both strong candidates. I was thinking more off-the-cuff like Taylor Trash:
"We all know who I'm talking about. This Taylor Trash of a person. Are we right? My forefathers were looking for an opportunity and they saw a market in trash. They made a fortune in the trash business. But this trash girl, haha, who are we talkin' about here? This tiny speck of a human who wouldn't know a good idea if it bit her on the ass. She should stop talking about me and stick to singing songs about little girl problems. That's what I say, hehe, am I right".
Massive Maga rally stands up and applauds. With a massive Taylor Swift record burning pile turning the air a putrid black.
Oh I hope he tears into her. I hope he makes Taylor bashing the central tenet of his entire campaign. Aside from kicking puppies, I'm not sure how he could make himself less appealing than bullying America's sweetheart.
Taylor Swift is a symbol of feminism in general. And attacks on her equate to attacks on women in the broader sense. We've already seen this phenomenon with the whole NFL kerfluffle. Trump is already directly responsible for taking away millions of women's right to their own healthcare choices. Please, you orange moron, find a way to piss them off even more.
Got my mail-in Republican primary ballot yesterday. I reckon I'll grit my teeth and vote for Haley, since she's the only not-trump still in it. Might as well mail it nice and early, cuz it's not like my mind will change in the next three weeks.

Don't forget trying to find sane Republicans down ballot too.
There are two competitive races that I will investigate, although I'll probably end up going with the incumbents, both of whose names I recognize as not-MAGA. There's also a category that says “Vote for no more than 35,” and there are only 32 names listed. Guess I don’t need to look into them.
Magic the Gathering is a gift that keeps on giving. In her newest debacle, she’s claiming there’s no difference between the insurrectionists who attacked the capital on January 6th and the crowd that showed up for Biden’s inauguration.

Think of every heist film you’ve seen. She’s the distraction. Every barrel of ink devoted to her Lawyer Morty capering is one less devoted to reporting on the power players that are actually effective at suborning our democracy.

Well, it's not like the "Libs of TikTok" account had bomb threats for schools in Oklahoma. Because if they did, boy would that be embarrassing.

This is what happens when the ventriloquist stops talking but the sock puppet doesn't
Good God. The only silver lining here is the moment the guy behind her in the red tie...when he realizes what she just said, he closes his eyes and looks down...I like to imagine him thinking in that moment "WTF?! I've made a huge mistake standing up here behind this madwoman"

Ronna McDaniel (née Romney, but she changed her name to satisfy Trump) is resigning as RNC Chair just 7 months before the presidential election.
After building an impressive resume of keeping Republican candidates from being elected to office at nearly every level of government, McDaniel was quickly recruited by the DNC after announcing her upcoming resignation as head of the RNC.
"It's an opportunity to keep doing what I do best," McDaniel said. "I've developed proven strategies that get Democrats elected, and I have every intention of continuing to do that in my new position. If my uncle Mitt Romney taught me anything, it's that with enough hard work and determination, you can make sure Democrats always remain in power. I believe the damage I've done to Republicans in 2020, 2022, and already in 2024 speaks for itself."

What's hilarious is that they believe it's McDaniel who has cost them so many elections, as opposed to the Dobbs decision and the MAGA knuckleheads they keep nominating.
