I’ll say it again, I did not have the Right coming out four square against football, Disney, beer, and Taylor Swift on my bingo card for 2023/24.
The GOP establishment must be tearing its hair out over the Swift/Kelce debacle, as they know it alienates about 80% of the country. I’m just imagining an average 30 year old woman who has had maybe a half dozen boyfriends, wants to marry and have children but hasn’t met the right guy yet, listening to these creeps say women like her are over-the-hill sluts who should be reviled. And the GOP wonders why it struggles with Millennial and Gen Z women.
As we know, Swift provokes rightwing men simply by being talented, wildly successful, incredibly rich, very attractive, all while having the gall to remain SINGLE AND CHILDLESS. So they can’t resist their primal urge to put her in her place even when doing so is clearly detrimental to the conservative cause. It's why all these same guys support Trump, another colossal misogynist and tantruming baby. They relate to him because they can’t tell the difference between bluster and strength. And they don’t have the wit to realize every gesture of their own they consider a flex is really an obvious display of inadequacy and fear.
Great newsletter Roy. You quite the imagination for an adult...:)
I had to look up who this Heather Nauert person is. Apparently, she went from Fox and Friends to the State Department, and within two years, Trump nominated her for the UN Ambassador job. Of course, hiring an undocumented worker as a nanny did her in. Although, it didn’t seem to hurt Trump’s prospects.
Imagine nominating a person with no foreign policy experience, or brain to think of, to be the most powerful ambassador representing the in the US in world affairs. Oh wait, that award went to Nikki Haley.
At least Trump’s consistent; always choosing style over substance. Another reason why Kari Lake would be a shoo-in for the VP slot. She’s camera ready on day one; and even more delusional and nuttier than Trump.
She actually may make him look good in contrast....:)
Still amazes me that Swifce® of all people/things is the face of the resistance but there you go.
And if the sick people are upset now wait til Tay-tay really encourages her fans (those who'll be above 18 in time to vote) to register and vote Blue).
I must admit that I'm enjoying the way conservatives have built this amazing conspiracy edifice that has Taylor Swift in cahoots with the NFL, team owners, the players' association, and even the fans to rig all the football games. It is, after all, a well-established fact that all of the billionaire team owners are actually closet communists who, despite giving billions to Republicans, will do anything to re-elect Joe Biden.
It’s weird, for people who think a woman is only of value if she’s with a man, that Taylor Swift hanging around Travis Kelsie’s football games, in the high-end bleachers, has them so riled up. They’re both great at what they do and the only reason to dislike them is the same reason these chubs hated their high school’s prom queen and football captain: rank, seething jealousy from the talentless no-names.
Good one, Roy! Still blows my mind that Browne wrote These Days when he was 16... I know, a little off topic... Also, I can't help but read PINSY as Tattoo- Mar a Lago is really a seriously degraded Fantasy Island in some perverted universe which, unfortunately, is our own...
The whole Swift/NFL/psyops nonsense reminds me of the death of my personal 'Noble Savage' delusion when I heard an anthropologist recount an extreme punishment of a woman who had dared (or for that matter, accidentally had happened) to view the Sacred Flutes in the Men's House.
Note: All codings, rôle assignments, and value-judgements in the next ¶ are from the viewpoint of the Permanent Masculine Protest.
The intrusion of a FemaleLib-coded figure on the TradMasc-coded world, and one who is the obviously dominant partner in her relationship with a member of the TradMasc priesthood is intolerable, and so there is no bottom to the depths of depravity to which she will descend, e.g. trying to help someone defeat The LORD's Anointed from within His Own House (the Superbowl stadium), defiling it thereby.
I have my problems with some of Haidt's work, but his description of conservatism as standing largely on a purity/defilement pillar seems spot-on.
This is excellent!
You're doing that scary/funny thing you do so well.
I was expecting to find out Inga was in drag and Trump to do the Joe E Brown
"Nobody's perfect" thing.
Oh and about that album cover -

Amazing.
"JACKSON: I also did Sally Struthers.
TRUMP: Yeah, me too."
You dawg.
2 marks.
Someone needs to ask Miley Cyrus what she thinks.
TRUMP: You weren’t Pat, that one that was a he-she? I hated that.
I find myself agreeing with Donald Trump about something, and man, is that an uncomfortable feeling.
At this point, I'm pretty sure that Taylor Swift would have less trouble scraping up $83 million in cash if she needed to.
The Gleason stuff is just so perfect it hurts.
