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!

Time to sue for Libel. DJT could only dream of having lawyers as good as Taylor Swift has. I sense another multi-million dollar money judgement coming.

Let me get this straight, you think that Taylor Swift, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world, with legions of loyal fans, is not going to retaliate against your public lies?

Good luck.

Her team retaliated about someone tracking her private jet with public data .

This is such a bad move for his campaign, this is going to force her to release a statement, if she doesn't sue.

She probably wasn't going to endorse any candidate since that's the smart move as an entertainer... but I wouldn't be surprised if she just endorses Harris very publicly now to get ahead of any stain on her reputation.

He is about to find out what a REAL rabid fanbase looks like. Swifties are fucking crazy yo.

Edit: OOH! Someone generate some fake BTS endorsements so that he pisses off Kpop Stans as well!

Look, Trump might be a fascist, but there are lines you don't cross.

I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,” he said. “I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!

FOR ONCE. IN YOUR FUCKING LIFE. DON'T BE WEIRD.

Can’t wait for the new racist Republican single “Champagne Progroms”

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He wants the endorsements of celebrities sooo bad. 😂

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What? You mean Rob Schneider, Keven Sorbo, and Kid Rock aren't turning out crowds for him?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Lets not forget Hulk Hogan

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Donald, You need to calm down. You know all too well there's some bad blood between us. Never in your wildest dreams would I endorse the smallest man/hands that ever lived.

Now look what you made me do, don't blame me if my fans try some vigilante shit. This isn't a love story, it's karma, and you're guilty as sin.

So shake it off and stick to campaigning in Florida, it's only August after all.

You're on your own kid, -T

Whelp now we need an IRL endorsement from her I would be surprised if she doesn't say something after the nomination

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

The lights go down at the DNC. A hush falls over the crowd. Smoke machines start billowing from the center of the stage as a lone figure rises up from below.

"I'm the real Taylor Swift, and I'm endorsing Kamala."

The popcorn factories have doubled their shifts in anticipation

Don’t mess with the Swifties, Donny. Of all the dumb shit you’ve done you’re really playing with fire now.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

There's a certain irony in sending out your VP to call any woman without the requisite 2.3 kids a "cat lady", then turn around and announce to a credulous base that America's most famous cat lady just gave you her endorsement.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Forget the Swifties. Don’t mess with Taylor herself. Donald has stepped in it, and now Taylor is all but required to correct the record.

Boomer falls for deep fake endorsement from someone who hates him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

He's practically too old to be a boomer.

Shameful of Trump.
