I get it. I hated all the popular music when I was in high school too.

Trump starting his Hot Topic era. Vance's guyliner was a gateway drug for him. The real question is skinny jeans or Tripp pants?

It's funny because this is exactly the way kids act when they are tired/hungry. They hate everything.

When my little one is having a strop, regardless of the reason, he just says "I don't like my brother" haha

He loves his brother, he just knows it'll get a reaction.

Donny, you’re not you when you’re hungry, here’s a double quarter pounder with cheese, since you refuse to eat the “grown up food” that the White House chefs prepared when you were in office

The wiser thing would have been for Trump to just ignore her and move along. But when has wisdom ever got in the way of Donald Trump.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure but this way one of his cultists might actually try to take revenge against his marked enemy. Wouldn't be the first time.

This petty man letting something go? Not a chance.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It took him a whole week to come up with that?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The caps lock key is in a fairly obscure position.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah it's in his brain

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But he was so enthusiastic about her endorsement the other day!!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

"I accept!" 🤣

i like how they opted to use 'k' as an abbreviation for an already 4 digit number in order to make it appear that more people give a shit.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Looking at the thing again to verify what you said let me see that they call shares "re-truths" which is so perfectly on the nose it would be groan inducing if this was a novel instead of real life.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't get it. 1.35k = 1,350. Neither of these look larger than the other.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They do when you look quickly and miss the period.

How long until she sees an uptick in death threats and bomb threats?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

She's one of the world's top celebrities, she's no stranger to those things and has her own security service

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

I do imagine that having the world's largest cult leader declaring you an enemy to his unhinged sheep does increase the amount and types of security she needs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Sure, but it's hard to belive this won't cause a statistically significant bump.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bad plan. You want to get millions of people out for your blood? Threaten Taylor Swift.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Has he ever had a good one?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

He has concepts of a good plan, he just hasn't thought of one yet

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

In terms of his success or in terms of being hilarious to me?

Holy shit the thumbnail for that link in my lemmy client is the most hilariously cringe thing I've ever seen

Edit: it's a blown up version of his profile picture on that site

Two pretty women rejected him in one day.

What do [toxic] men fear most? That women will laugh at them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

he tweets it, other 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Shitting on the most popular musician in the U.S., possibly the world, helps him?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

yes. if you haven't parsed out the dead cat protocol, simply by watching this idiots actions in the past 8 years, here is boris johnson spelling it out (energy and matter can neither be created nor destroyed, they simply change forms) :

"There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don't mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, "Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!" In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief."

this is all trump has, and every reblog and repetition only assists him, because it pushes harris out of the news cycle. seemingly bright people still don't understand it, even after so much time, and trump doing the same exact this over and over again. dude is close to winning another term as president, because he does THIS exact thing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wow. You think Trump is smart.

Trump is 100% having her arrested if he wins the election.

Give him another day or two and he'll be claiming Taylor Swift is eating people's pets

He probably hates apple pie too.

It's really more that he can't imagine treating a dog well. IMO that's much worse.
