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!

The morning after his first presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump turned to friendly territory by calling into Fox & Friends. But co-host Steve Doocy still had a question for Trump that he probably wouldn’t like: Did he hear about Taylor Swift endorsing Harris?

Almost immediately following the end of the debate on Tuesday, Swift posted her endorsement of Harris on Instagram, imploring her followers to do their own research and vote; she endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020. She also cited the faked AI images of her that she was supporting Trump, which Trump and his campaign shared.

Host: “they have Taylor Swift”

Trump: “oh yeah, we have the ex wife of someone she’s dated”

Lmao he’s gonna go after the swifties now? One of the most devoted fan bases of a musical artist of all time?

That’s a bold move, cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.

Could be worst. Like attacking a K Pop band.

I’m beginning to think the orange man is fucked. Everyone, find 5 people to go with you to the polls.

Trump really said she is going to lose the racist crowd for this lol. There isn't a day when he isn't attacking someone or making an excuse?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

To be perfectly honest I think she herself would chalk that up as a net win.

Stochastic Terrorism

Noun

the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.

Pretty sure Trump will be the one that pays

Oof. Don threatened Swift... Campaign TOD 0800CST 9/11.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Her lawyers are probably better than his. And her money too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And some of her money are now her lawyer's money, which is always good for your relationship with the lawyers...

She could lose 10 million listeners (she won't) and still have 85 million listeners on Spotify alone.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You’re right she won’t but more importantly this may actually cause a lot of kids to confront the “me vs parents” view they have lived with. (Edit - “me vs parents” = my views vs what my parents say and think)

My dad always says “this” about democrats and how republicans are right because of “that”.

This will hopefully cause people to think of Swift is endorsing her then I should look into why. There are plenty of people who don’t pay attention to politics not because they are intentionally absent from it, but because it’s just not in the realm of consciousness. This may change that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A long winded way to say, "Hopefully, this gets people off their ass and to begin to give a shit about our collective future."

But I agree. I hope this causes politically-disengaged people to reckon with (frankly) what amounts to their willful ignorance, at this point.

Trump: Well, I actually like Mrs., I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift, and it was just a question of time. She couldn’t, you couldn’t possibly endorse Biden. You look at Biden, you couldn’t possibly endorse him. But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it at the, in the marketplace. But no, I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great. Brittany got a lot of news last week. She’s a big, she’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.

Ramble much?

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

Wait until Trump finds out she played soccer and calls her either gay or a Marxist because of it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Hahaha! Now Mahomes is going to have to release a statement denying this, and very likely endorsing Harris in the process. This guy just cannot shut his mouth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Except, rumor has it, it's not wrong... I'd love to see some evidence to the contrary if anyone has it.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not likely. Brittany Mahomes is a Maga moron and a shitty person.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I can't stand celeb gossip but heard the rumor she liked a trump tweet or something, did that turn out true? Unverified? Or is there more shit on brit i haven't heard yet?
