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.”

He does what? That is definitely not a word.

[–] [email protected] -3 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!"

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

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] 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Such a fucking petulant child. Embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The chosen pic has Swift looking like she has a hefty camel toe

Yeah why isn't there a trump pic.

Seems unpopular.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I want to pleasure myself to pictures of Trump's cameltoe

What have you done

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

This does not spark joy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 48 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What we need to do is start a rumor that Biden is considering replacing Harris with Swift as his new running mate.

When asked, the WH just has to say "no comment".

It would be best troll ever.

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

And then Biden tells Trump:

"You need to come down.

You being too loud."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Someone leak it to the daily mail, they'll take any story

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

The fact that there are Americans that would favor trump over Taylor Swift is a disgrace.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Lol he wasn't more popular than Joe Biden, and Joe was a hard sell for a lot of US Democats. No question Taytay takes the W here.

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

He wasn't even more popular than Hillary Clinton.

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

He's probably got a point about the "more committed fans" bit, though.

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

I bet theres at least a few swifties ready to die for her.

[–] [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] 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have some coworkers going to Japan soon for meetings. Apparently they’re competing with a Taylor Swift concert for finding a decently priced hotel.

Somehow I do not think this would be an issue if it was Trump.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I did that in Detroit last year. Lucked out by getting an airbnb. Hotels were so crazy expensive. Streets basically shut down, full of people before and after the concert

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Last time I saw she was in town parking around her venue was $80-120

[–] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, he isn't wrong. I'm currently in Taiwan and nobody talks about TS, but talks about how much Trump is an idiot. So I guess he is more popular, but for the wrong reasons.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is that popular or infamous?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I guess a little of both. He was an American president. People here love Obama too. Some people here have never heard of Tay Tay.

Jeanine Pirro is a dangerous whack-job
