They are easily triggered - Taylor Swift

I am a mean person, I know it.

I have been intentionally posting on FB, the hype over Taylor Swift to trigger my MAGA brother. He never misses making a rude comment every time I post.

It comical as hell.

Taylor Swift is the most influential voice in music. Could she be the same in politics?

Taylor Swift is the most influential voice in music. Could she be the same in politics?


Taylor Swift is one of the most popular performers of all time -- and now speculation is rampant about whether she'll try to use her pop-star status to influence the 2024 election with a Joe Biden endorsement -- harnessing the power of her millions of Swifties to sway the outcome.

All this as baseless right-wing conspiracies swirl alleging Swift and boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, are also part of a psyop plot to rig the Super Bowl.

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy implied in a post on X that their high-profile romance is a sinister concoction

Marjorie Taylor Greene targeted by attempted swatting call for roughly 8th time, this one on Christmas Day

Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was the target of a swatting attempt at her Georgia residence on Christmas morning, the congresswoman and local police said, marking the latest instance of someone calling in a fake emergency to try to draw armed officers or SWAT teams to her home.

The Rome (Georgia) Police Department quickly verified that the call was a hoax and didn't send officers to the house, department spokesperson Kelly Madden said.


"I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn't have to deal with this," Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

A man in New York called the Georgia suicide hotline just before 11 a.m. Monday, claiming he'd shot his girlfriend at the address of Greene's home and was going to kill himself next, Madden said. The call was quickly transferred to police when suicide hotline responders recognized the Georgia congresswoman's address.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went full what-about when pressed about election denialism

In an interview on ABC’s This Week Sunday, anchor Pierre Thomas — filling in for George Stephanopoulos — confronted the South Carolina senator about Trump’s continued insistence that he was victorious in 2020.

“ He claims to be an election denier, proudly,” Thomas said. “We teach our children when they lose something to shake the opponent’s hand and move on. Are you concerned that the president is a former president is not setting the proper standard going forward here, sir?”

Graham drew a breath and set about the task of equating Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric and actions after the 2016 election to Donald Trump’s.

“Well, you know, Hillary Clinton had the same view that she was cheated,” Graham said. “He’s not the first politician to claim to have been denied a fair election.”

The Senator did, however, go on to say that he flat out believes Trump will lose the 2024 election if he continues to dwell on 2020.

"Only on day one"

Who believes he would only be dictator on day one?
Yes he will be dictator on day one and every day beyond. Why is it so difficult for people to see that?

Paid $2.89 for regular unleaded, didn't see an I did that sticker

They were so quick to blame Biden for high gas price. Not hearing anyone giving him praise for lower prices.

Not that I believe he is responsible, but those that do need to step up.


Gas was $2.89 just outside Charleston South Carolina

“After a day of campaigning, this is the message waiting for me outside my hotel room,” Haley posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
