The only thing about it that bothers me is that I hate the Chiefs for legitimate reasons - they beat Buffalo, twice in the last I forget how many years. Taylor Swift can perform a in a jello pit at half time and I wouldn’t care as long as the Niners win. Ok, I might care a little. ---

There aren’t a whole lot of folks that could solve that one without a calculator. (Granting a presumption that the is actually a part of a cognitive function test, and not just something he made up to generate admiration for his "great brain) I think the cognitive function being checked for here is whether the subject has the situational awareness to _ask_ for resources to complete the task. ---

A comedienne whose name I can’t recall has a series of YouTube entries where she lip-syncs to a soundtrack of one of Trump’s ramblings. I understand the wit and appreciate the humor but I found I could not bear more than thirty seconds’ worth of that noise even without looking at his puss. ---

Sorry, I’m an old fart and have not been following Taylor news and gossip. As a football fan, I’m well aware that she and Travis are an item. Anyway, why is Taylor a threat to democracy, Satanic, evil, evil, evil, etc.? I realize the answer will be batshit goofy, but I’m curious. Why is MAGAworld so apoplectic over her? ---

Because she started out in country music they thought she was one of theirs, until she suddenly revealed herself to care about LGBTQ+ people and women and democracy and stuff like that, so now they feel betrayed. Also, I’m pretty sure there’s a hefty dollop of sublimated sexual attraction in there (see also: AOC). ---

I wasn’t old enough to be paying any attention whatsoever to politics, but presumably the Right was equally angry when MTV started their Rock The Vote campaign back in the 90s.
