Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"Behind the scenes, Trump has reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up against him this year not with alarm, but with an instant projection of ego. In recent weeks, the former president has told people in his orbit that no amount of A-list celebrity endorsements will save Biden. Trump has also privately claimed that he is ‘more popular’ than Swift is and that he has more committed fans than she does.”

“Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.”

Jeanine Pirro is a dangerous whack-job

Challenge her! Make sure your people is there to see it. Cuz you might get embarrassed.

I think it'd give this election an extra tinge of the surreal for him to challenge the Swifties to go to the polls. I heard only people with big hands would do that though.

AnusMouth could not help himself, could he?

Pathetic creature and general failure of mankind. One day, his cult followers will realize and dear god, the hurt and embarrassment will be of such a scale that psychiatrists will have jobs for decades. It will be known as "The Great Mental Restoration Project" and the methods used and developed specifically to repair these morons will be taught in classes all over the world.

Seriously, the mental condition of his cult base will spark a whole separate branch of conditions and therapies in psychiatry.

Lol. No he's not. It's not even close.

Eh, you'd hope that voters wouldn't be swayed by celebrity endorsements. But I guess Trump doesn't make the distinction between political popularity and overall popularity.

Weak sad man

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

If this is true, he is a sadder sack of shit than I thunk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

With Marjorie Taylor Greene maybe.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Weird flex, but ok.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

More well-known, perhaps. Which I'd expect as he was the PRESIDENT! More popular? More well-liked? Hardly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Step aside Kamala, Biden has a new VP - Taylor Swift!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

LMAO, LOL, ROFL, PMSL and any other Internet shorthand one can think of to succinctly describe the pathetic hilarity of this stale wotsits unearned ego.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


That hasn’t stopped members of MAGAland’s upper crust from plotting to declare — as one source close to Donald Trump calls it — a “holy war” on the pop mega-star, especially if she ends up publicly backing the Democrats in the 2024 election.

Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.

“Joe Biden might be counting on Taylor Swift to save him, but voters are looking at these sky-high inflation rates and saying, ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,’” Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro — who’s acted as an informal political adviser to Trump, including during his presidency — warned Swift to stay out of 2024: “Don’t get involved.

Former GOP presidential hopeful and current Trump hype man Vivek Ramaswamy took to Twitter following the latest Chiefs’ playoff win to claim that unnamed forces would rig the Super Bowl to give the as-yet nonexistent endorsement from the “artificially culturally propped-up couple” increased visibility.

Voters aren’t fools,” John McLaughlin, a top pollster for Trump, says, in response to Rolling Stone’s questions regarding Swift.

Really Trump? Are people making AI porn of you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I guess more men would like to get into Taylor Swifts' pants than into Trumps'.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

He does what? That is definitely not a word.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I kinda wish they’d both just go away.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You mean Trump and his ego?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

In case my daughter in law reads this, sure that’s what I meant 😉

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

Lol..I wouldn't be surprised if it's true...I was watching this video about this American dude traveling through India...and, he's like in the middle of nowhere and these Indian guys, who could barely speak English...were like "you're American? Go Trump!"
