This won't end with trans kids or people that need reproductive services. People should pay attention.

They never believe they will become the next targets until they're wailing in outrage. People frustrate me so much.

Trump says a Taylor Swift endorsement of Biden would be disloyal because he 'made her so much money'

Trump said it would be disloyal if Taylor Swift endorsed Joe Biden because Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, which he says "made her so much money."

Can y'all believe this jamoche? I mean, of course we can, this is totally on brand -- but damn, it's like parody except it's real.

This clarified the Taylor Swift obsession for me.

Basically, Swift is the temptress Eve.

Well, that and the fact they assumed she was the incel's white-woman idealized girlfriend after her run-in's with Kanye and now she's blown their eyes back in their skulls at how wrong they were. (note that she became a "temptress" to single white women suburban voters after they realized she wasn't their IT girl.) It's just insane.

I'll be honest, musically I've tried to listen to her but can't get into it. Maybe I would appreciate her lyrics if I read them separately.

My polyamorous trans non-binary kid however is just completely enamored with her and gave me a long 20 minute overview of why she is so popular with people and what she represents, though -- lol! I can't remember half of it, but I'm like, you (Taylor) go girl! She can keep doing whatever she's doing.

Those almond eyes, long legs and the radiating black lines in her aura, the tell tale signs of diablerie. Regardless of the music, she's got that almost indefinable something that makes the webs inside our head resonate. I rather enjoy her and some of her music. Though I can take or leave it, her power is interesting indeed.

Yeah, the video covered that. I remembered the feud with Kanye, but I wasn't aware of any incels worshiping her.

I listened to Blank Spaces just now, and I admit that I enjoyed it. The song had a unique hook, and none of it came off as soulless to me. It's not usually my genre of music, but I can see why she's popular.

I think the lyrics in the one song I listened to were interesting. There was a cockiness and self-assuredness, this sense that she's the one in control, that I don't see very often in female musicians.

My kid says she seems to speak from the heart of her listeners, they connect with what she is saying. Yes, very empowering stuff.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson late Monday sharply criticized a $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other countries, casting serious doubts about the future of the package just as Senate leaders were slowly muscling it toward a final vote.

Senate leaders, trying to send a message that the U.S. remains committed to its allies, were looking to overcome marathon speeches from a determined group of Republican senators and hold a vote to pass the bill in the early morning hours Tuesday.

But Johnson, a Louisiana Republican Republican, said in a statement the package lacked border security provisions, calling it “silent on the most pressing issue facing our country.” It was the latest — and potentially most consequential — sign of opposition to the Ukraine aid from conservatives who have for months demanded that border security policy be included in the package, only to last week reject a bipartisan proposal intended to curb the number of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border...

Deep-six four months of work the prior week because The Master demands it, then complain this week about it not being included just to deep-six this.

I'd say they have it down to a science, except they don't believe in science.

They don't enjoy it, and don't have a sense of humor about it.
Unless you count payback is a bitch as a sense of humor.​

Does the RNC have enough spare parts to sell off and pay Trump's $450 million debt in the next six months? Let the fundraising begin.

lol Especially after this proposal.

Trump wants to install new RNC leadership including his daughter-in-law as co-chair

Trump is calling for McDaniel to be replaced by Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP chairman and Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law as the new co-chair.

The nice thing is, the more of Trumps legal fees/fines the RNC pays, the less they have for every other election.

Lots of us saw this coming. That's why states like Michigan added language about IVF to the reproductive rights bill. They're coming for all of it - men and women alike. Contraceptives, no fault divorce, Ogerfeld...every right people have fought and died for in the last 50 years. Once these are done, watch them try to repeal Constitutional amendments. Don't vote for Republicans anywhere - that's not a particularly difficult strategy. Oh and this was from today.
