I mean...yet.

That guy said the exact same thing the day before his head came off.

Also, ditto. I'm still in one piece...so far.

In case you were wondering what the GOP is up to - just openly stating this on Fox News last night:

Scott: We can't pass a bill that possibly would make it harder for Trump to do his job.

Also, wtf is Trump's "job" right now?

Power of positive thinking. His job is presidenting. Say it enough, believe in it, and I mean really really believe in it, and it will come true!

Pretender President? Maybe he’ll go full Caesar and say all future leaders should be called Trump.

Maga types call him the Authentic President; or even more scary “the King”.

MAGA going after her is the absolute worst strategic move they could make. Not only are they pissing off Swifties, they're generating tons of content upon social media about their misogyny. Pissing off an already pissed off female electorate is the absolute last thing they need to do to win this election.

SSHHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Don't worry. There's no way they can't attack her. It's pretty much hard-wired at this point.

I read that Trump's team is already preparing lines of attack should she endorse Biden.

MAGA or not, this guy is obviously mentally disturbed. His delusions go beyond those of your ordinary crazy MAGA.

Crossing my fingers.

If there's one thing Trump knows well, it's bullying. And the first rule of being a bully is never pick on someone bigger than yourself who will fight back. Right now, she's bigger and the swifties will fight back.


The fact that he hasn't already tweeted some defamation at her is telling. Things may change if he gets backed into a corner or if the winds change but as things are now, his well honed bully instincts are guiding him.

Yeah, this guy was clearly broken and it has nothing to do with his ideology. Drumpf also had his run-in with a crazy, although he didn't kill his father first, I don't think.

I can’t wait to hear what the eventual pejorative he uses for her will be. I think we should try to guess before it surfaces.

Taylor Shifty. That sounds more like him.

Still, it doesn't help when your inclinations towards delusional thinking are reinforced 24/7 by media designed to radicalize you.

Are we sure about that? Could it not have been his ideology that led to him breaking?

Traitor Swift and Taylor Shifty are both strong candidates. I was thinking more off-the-cuff like Taylor Trash:

"We all know who I'm talking about. This Taylor Trash of a person. Are we right? My forefathers were looking for an opportunity and they saw a market in trash. They made a fortune in the trash business. But this trash girl, haha, who are we talkin' about here? This tiny speck of a human who wouldn't know a good idea if it bit her on the ass. She should stop talking about me and stick to singing songs about little girl problems. That's what I say, hehe, am I right".

Massive Maga rally stands up and applauds. With a massive Taylor Swift record burning pile turning the air a putrid black.

End.

Oh I hope he tears into her. I hope he makes Taylor bashing the central tenet of his entire campaign. Aside from kicking puppies, I'm not sure how he could make himself less appealing than bullying America's sweetheart.

Taylor Swift is a symbol of feminism in general. And attacks on her equate to attacks on women in the broader sense. We've already seen this phenomenon with the whole NFL kerfluffle. Trump is already directly responsible for taking away millions of women's right to their own healthcare choices. Please, you orange moron, find a way to piss them off even more.

Shouldn't this be a rap battle?

The cold open on SNL touched on this last night, pretty funny! Their Trump impersonator nails him.

Honestly, I hate him so much that I can't even stand to watch parody of him.

You have to respect the impression - and the fact that they accurately used stage magic to create his neck-vagina.

Anything that amplifies how much of a buffoon he really is should be boosted.

I hate-laughed.

Got my mail-in Republican primary ballot yesterday. I reckon I'll grit my teeth and vote for Haley, since she's the only not-trump still in it. Might as well mail it nice and early, cuz it's not like my mind will change in the next three weeks.

Don't forget trying to find sane Republicans down ballot too.

They went WAY too easy on Tim Scott, IMO. There was much more gold to be mined there, considering how outlandish the reality is.

Maybe they thought the literally nauseating video of him fawning over Trump was not widely enough viewed to really dig in.

There are two competitive races that I will investigate, although I'll probably end up going with the incumbents, both of whose names I recognize as not-MAGA. There's also a category that says “Vote for no more than 35,” and there are only 32 names listed. Guess I don’t need to look into them.

Ronna McDaniel (née Romney, but she changed her name to satisfy Trump) is resigning as RNC Chair just 7 months before the presidential election.

So much winning.

Magic the Gathering is a gift that keeps on giving. In her newest debacle, she’s claiming there’s no difference between the insurrectionists who attacked the capital on January 6th and the crowd that showed up for Biden’s inauguration.

And an entire district continues to elect her kind of Toys in the Attic.

You can safely remove everything from the question mark on the vast majority of links.

Think of every heist film you’ve seen. She’s the distraction. Every barrel of ink devoted to her Lawyer Morty capering is one less devoted to reporting on the power players that are actually effective at suborning our democracy.

Oh, you know they did, who am I kidding.

Scumbag piece of shit Ryan Walters celebrates the destruction of a dedicated education leader.

This is what happens when the ventriloquist stops talking but the sock puppet doesn't

Good God. The only silver lining here is the moment the guy behind her in the red tie...when he realizes what she just said, he closes his eyes and looks down...I like to imagine him thinking in that moment "WTF?! I've made a huge mistake standing up here behind this madwoman"

Ronna McDaniel Hired As DNC Chair Due To Extensive Experience Defeating Republicans

After building an impressive resume of keeping Republican candidates from being elected to office at nearly every level of government, McDaniel was quickly recruited by the DNC after announcing her upcoming resignation as head of the RNC.

"It's an opportunity to keep doing what I do best," McDaniel said. "I've developed proven strategies that get Democrats elected, and I have every intention of continuing to do that in my new position. If my uncle Mitt Romney taught me anything, it's that with enough hard work and determination, you can make sure Democrats always remain in power. I believe the damage I've done to Republicans in 2020, 2022, and already in 2024 speaks for itself."

What's hilarious is that they believe it's McDaniel who has cost them so many elections, as opposed to the Dobbs decision and the MAGA knuckleheads they keep nominating.
