Remember folks: if we do our job right, this traitor asshole will die in prison.

Hell, I'm still holding out for his heart to explode during one of his Klan rallies.

Po-TAY-to, Po-TAH-to.

Either. Both!

You misspelled firing squad.

Firing squads have some guns that are loaded as blanks so nobody is really sure who fired the fatal shot, and in the case of Trump I think this is unfair to the people firing the guns.

I'm constantly surprised that he hasn't farted himself to death on the toilet from his bad diet, and being morbidly obese, and his stress from multiple lawsuits, and anger over crowd sizes, and anger over Taylor swift, ...etc.

Even if he lose, he will never see inside of a prison, that's unfortunately not how the "justice" works.

If Merchan was planning on giving him a slap on the wrist then there would've been no point in delaying the sentencing.

Anyone wanna tell him that the only reason she endorsed anyone in the first place is because Trump couldn't keep his big mouth shut? Had he not made a bunch of posts implying that Swift endorsed him, she probably would have stayed out of it.

She endorsed Biden before. It wasn't really a surprise.

Yeah - his campaign producing deepfaked support from her when she was busy keeping her views to herself couldn't have motivated her to correct the record. This is just the personal stuff - the ways in which his policy positions and rhetoric negatively affect her and her fans is endless.

Trump fucked around with one of the few women he has reason to respect (by his framework) - she's beautiful and wealthier than him. Now he's finding out, and holy shit is he sore about it.

Trump, you're the moron that everyone already knew you were.

A formal declaration of war, and the battle with the Swifties has been engaged.

edit: another epic rant may be starting:

Unrealized tax on capital gains? That wording would mean the tax on capital gains is unrealized, not a Tax on Unrealized capital gains you stable business genius

Reverse Deportation? So you want to stop deportation and/or import people? JFC

If they are failing, seems like they would becoming less of/not a threat?

Hey, he's reversing the deportations!

Breaking: Trump Encourages Illegal Immigration! As seen on the internet!

The Unrealized Tax is a bit iffy though. Not sure I entirely agree with it.

What do you disagree with specifically? It only affects people with over $100M in wealth.

Do you think the tax goes too far, and if so, why are you protecting the wealth of the 1%?

Or do you think the tax doesn't go far enough, and if so, wouldn't opposition it just mean not passing a tax at all, which would be worse?

Or do you know nothing about her proposal and thought it was going to affect your paltry investment income?

Just from my small brain viewpoint, the owner hasn't sold the house or anything, so they shouldn't be taxed, and rent income is already taxed, so if they're using it to rent, this might trickle down to increase rent costs. Although, on the other hand. This only affects the ultra rich, so maybe they have it coming to them.

To expand your analogy to the house on how the rich used their unrealised gains.

You buy a house and it appreciates in value. You bowwow money against the capital gains and use that to live on. Your house price goes up further, generating more capital gains that you can now bowwow against to pay back your previous loan.

edit: also since you're so filthy rich the banks give you really low interest rates, way less than tax would have been.

This only affects the ultra rich, so maybe they have it coming to them.

Don't be reductive. Anyone who owns $100M worth of investments, be they stocks, bonds, or real estate holdings, needs to pay more in taxes.

This is targeting 1%ers hoarding capital, not your rental properties. We'll come after landlords' underserved income later as we further tackle the housing affordability crisis.

Compared to Trump, Taylor Swift has a lot more star power. I think he's realized that she could easily grab him by the pussy.

he tweets it, others reblog it. are you seeing how this works for him, yet? won't matter. the dopamine hit in getting upvotes for the monster who throws the dead cat on the table outweigh any logical argument on how mockery is precisely what trump and vance want, it takes energy, energy which would otherwise go to praising harris and waltz. he knows he can push them below the fold at any point, including coming off a decisive loss during the debate, and swifts endorsement, all anyone's talked about for 4 days are hatiians in springfield ohio, and that is how internet mockery helps him. this is not new news. yet people can't stop. and trump depends on that. it's all he has.

he posts hateful incendiary fabricated bullshit, and all the ants dance, holding him above the fold, the first story on the nightly news

Yeah, seems like too few words for an actual rant. Smoke bomb to distract from his ridiculous debate and to get that out of the news cycle

Anybody holding foldable media is already a lost cause. We need 20 somethings to vote like their Zyns depend on it. If this is what political engagement looks like in 2024, then so be it.

Fyi - “Below the fold” is a phrase borrowed from print media, which for digital content simply means anything below the current screen viewport that requires scrolling to access.

I still think it's funny that this is being treated as a full-blown endorsement. She said she is voting for Harris, then encouraged people to be politically informed and to vote...

Oh...maybe Republicans don't want people to be politically informed or to vote...

How is it not a full blown endorsement? She has publicly stated that she is voting for her, and gave a host of reasons why. Quite literally and explicitly an endorsement. What more needs to be done for it to be a full endorsement? Does she need to say "don't think and vote like I say"? Because that's what it sounds like you are saying that by telling people to get informed, that makes this less of an endorsement.

Anyone who makes Americans actually think about the elections and the choices they have and who makes them vote is basically putting out an endorsement for Harris.

I typically see an endorsement as saying "I am voting for this person, and you should too."

bruh, do you want to get a song written about you? Because this is how you get a song written about you. The song will go on looooong after you’re dead. tread lightly.

My lady sent me a message about it, he apparently tweeted it at 7am. So she sent me her lyrics: "

You are somebody that I don't know

But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón

And I'm just like, "Damn!

It's 7 AM"

Say it in the street, that's a knock-out

But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out

And I'm just like, "Hey!

Are you OK?"

"

The irony is that Trump forced Swift to speak up after the fake AI endorsement. Swift would have remained publicly neutral.

Holy crap someone on tumblr legit predicted this

If Trump wants to find out if Swift can rhyme "orange" then he should absolutely keep attacking her. I'm pretty sure there's gotta be like three people in the world you could figure it out legitimately, and she could be one of them. Or she could afford to hire someone who could.

Soon: new Taylor Swift / Eminem single drops

That orange tinge, it makes me a little unhinged; maybe my views are a little fringe but I just don't like his cringe.

That's one way to lose voters for one side lmfao

Same energy:

I just realized that there was a Phantom Space Man. It was Red Death!

He just didn't stay on the space station...

"Big Mad"? are they trying to dumb it down for the trump crowd or just the rolling stone readers in general?

While I tend to think Taylor Swift could best serve the world by simply sticking to flying her private jet down to the local 7-11 to get a carton of milk and a pint of ice cream while keeping her mouth shut, she has the right to say she will vote for Harris. And I fully support her right to make that choice and statement.

But I also firmly believe that celebrities should not use their notoriety or fame to push agendas. There are far too many easily swayed people out there who will follow the lead of famous people who espouse an idea that is dumber than cow shit simply because hey are famous - See Andrew Tate or a number of disgraced BBC reporters.

...taylor swift's public statement was a well-considered cogent refutation of false endorsements posted by the trump campaign, one which pointedly resonates your position and likely merits substantially more respect than you realise...

I agree 100% in most cases, but in THIS particular case it's Trump that started it by sharing the AI post of Swift endorsing him.

So she definitely has the right to correct misconceptions about her public statements

I view both of them an same. Both are over hyped and overexposed whether it be a positive or negative aspect by the media.

I don't think you quite understand how popular she is. The magazines aren't putting her on their covers because they're trying to create hype for her to make her popular. They put her on the cover because they'll sell a lot more magazines due to her already insane levels of popularity.

This isn't hype, this is basic supply and demand, and the demand for Taylor Swift is massive. She is the most popular person in the world right now, and it isn't even close.
