Good points.
But it’s not just about the politics. It really went off the charts when she started regularly attending NFL games, and the NFL went out of their way to show her a lot. All the manly-men incel types freaked out at that, because they didn’t want a bunch of icky girls invading their macho sports stadia. The politics existed, but have been amplified by what they really hate, having girls involved in football.
You want to be the first to hear THE biggest Easter Egg that none of the Swifties have spotted?
The evil Scooter Braun paid $330 million for Big Machine, whose assets were principally Taylor’s back catalog masters.
So guess how much Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce has increased the Kansas City Chiefs’ and NFL brand value in the past few months, just as the value of Braun’s purchase erodes as she re-records her early albums.
Coincidence, or superpower?
The fact that she’s snuggling with a vaccination advocate is also a factor in the RW freakout.
One of the jokes causing gear grinding in MAGA world: “(anti-vaxxer icon) Aaron Rodgers lasted four plays into the season while Travis Kelce is going to the Super Bowl and having sex with Taylor Swift.”
That “army” of “patriots” who were going to drive to Texas to defend the state’s right to murder children with razor wire has fizzled because the cultists all think it’s a Deep State honeytrap.
So, another “convoy” that’s supposed to show up at the border but never arrives?
I don’t understand the “honeypot” part of it. I thought I was going to be reading about sexy FBI agents in lingerie sprawled on the banks of the Rio Grande.
It makes sense if you believe that Nikki Haley wanted Trump supporters to invade the Capitol and murder the vice president in order to make Trump look bad.
I believe the leaders of the convoy have provided a succinct explanation…
Convoys ain’t what they used to be. They used to blast through toll stops, absorbing in friends of jesus, and picking up steam and size the whole way. Even with a bear in the air.
Chalk up another score for Merrick Garland. I’m among those who deplore his slowness in going after the Insurrectionist in Chief—but there’s no question that Garland’s choice to prosecute the Jan 6 Capitol invaders has entered the consciousness of every would-be right-wing mischief-maker.
Their first thought is now ‘our planned action is likely to be a trap set by the FBI.’ And that’s good news for genuine rule-of-law law enforcement people–not to mention emergency room personnel–everywhere.
(Goes long on popcorn futures)
To be honest, the idea of this crew heading out into the deep desert loaded with weaponry was never a good one. It’d be like that Trump regatta, but with more dying of exposure and gunshot wounds. They’ve probably saved a number of their own lives by giving up early.
Our (SDMB) plot to sow dissention and mistrust is working perfectly. The next meeting, and pizza, is in two weeks.
Pizza, or “pizza”?
“OH MY GOD HE’S SO DREAMY WHERE DOES THE LINE START” -No woman, ever
I would avoid a self proclaimed, “alpha male,” under all circumstances. I just don’t really see too many girls (as in he looks pretty young) are going to trip over themselves for that guy.
To use their language, if you have to call yourself an alpha, you’re a gamma at best.
Bleh, why do they have to rank themselves and others anyway? It’s creepy and screams of overcompensating.
Pathological insecurity and a toxic strain of performative masculinity that obligates them to act like subhuman troglodytes in order to show off how much of a Big Manly Man they are?
