Well someone should then should convince Swift to public endorse Biden / Harris to send Newsweek into uncontrollable fits of apoplectic self combustion rage

ROFLOL!!! I am sad to say, I think perhaps Harris should run and Joe should bow out as gracefully as possible now. The truth is NEITHER Trump nor Biden is fit to serve, Trump because he is a rapist and monster and Biden because he really is not assessing things rationally. He is badly damaged now, and he is not really getting that. He cannot possibl y make it through another term. And we need to get Harris in there now because the next few months are grueling, and Biden will only get more and more exhausted. He needs to let go. And it's not his fault. He's just fading now. Trump's hideousness is his own fault, and Biden is a very, very fine man. But we need to effect a change now. And it makes me sad to the bottom of my soul to have to say it.

Biden is not assessing what rationally? ‘Things’? The economy is booming. He’s fighting for more better healthcare. He’s doing everything right.

I agree with you 💯 on this . Biden is a very decent human being . Trump is a scumbag . Unfortunately perception is reality for the masses and how the world is not how it should or how you want it to be . Harris’s polling is creeping up and has significantly less disapproval ratings than Biden . Things do turn around . She is great on dealing with the abortion conversation which is going to be a major issue in November and obviously younger , vigour , ex lawyer , senator and would send Trumps psychosis into leaking fluid from both ears going up against a black woman . Do him .

I think this ma fit here:

I am Not an Island

I'm not an island

I'm a woman

I'm a lover, I am a giver

I have sisters

I'm a woman

I'm not an island

I am not a piece of property

That you can or can't afford

I am not your trader's favorite stock

But I'm not to be ignored

I am strong within my boundaries

I am not your fair absurd

I'm the fount of our salvation

And I will have the final word.

I'm not an island

I'm a woman

I'm a lover, I am a giver

I have sisters

I'm a woman

I'm not an island.

I am the mighty hurricane

That will beat upon your shores

I am a resurrection

I am knocking on your doors

Do you think that I am kidding

Do you even think at all

While you play your favorite pastimes

And throw your favorite balls

I'm not an island

I'm a woman

I'm a lover, I am a giver

I have sisters

I'm a woman

I'm not an island.

I am thriving in the sunlight

I am living my ballet

I will harken to that music

As I hear my sisters play

With one step for the future

And one for all mankind

We shall weave this dance together

And advance in pace and kind.

I'm not an island

I'm a woman

I'm a lover, I am a giver

I have sisters

I'm a woman

I'm not an island.

I’m pretty sure Taylor Swift is not going to let anyone tell her what to do. These guys haven’t felt the wrath of a woman! Yet!

And I want to think that Travis was kind of sorry to jump on that bandwagon as fast as he did. He and Taylor have a lot in common. Obviously. 🙄 Says yours truly, a senior Swiftie! 🤭

Yeah, I agree. I think Travis is a really good guy, but the temptation--and perhaps the pressure--to try to balance the supreme dickheadedness of Harrison Butker with the good of the team got the better of him. In fact, there was probably no way you could balance the two. Butker is just wrong. Half the team is on non-speaking terms with Butker AT ALL TIMES, and Mahomes despises him. So they took the easy way out -- pretend his religious "rights" trump what's actually right. It's a shame. We need to be able to rely on cultural icons the way we were able to rely on Eddie Vedder.

Great article. I see being a billionaire as immoral, even if you are named Taylor Swift, but as much as her music isn't for me, I am enjoying how she pisses off fragile white men.

Taylor is too rich. She probably froze her eggs in another country. She can hire a woman to have the kid when she’s 80 and her offspring would be still be set for life.

It's not like she couldn't be married if she wanted to be. She gotta protect hers though so some dip doesn't fuck her out of her success.

It was excellent in the 1960's: the liberal alternative to the conservative Time. I haven't seen much of it for the past 2 or 3 decades. I had no idea that it had gone down the MSM drain.
