Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
OMG, you guys, Taylor’s, like, terrified of Marsha Blackburn and stuff.: Pop singer Taylor Swift came out of the political closet on Sunday, endorsing two Democrats running for governor and U.S. senator in Tennessee. Which is just, like, totally shocking and even maybe, like, surprising or something, you know? I mean, reeeeaaaalllly.
Perhaps noting the irony of endorsing two old white guys when a woman is running in the Senate race on the GOP side, Swift’s publicists wrote this tidy quote for her to recite: “As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn,” Swift wrote, elaborating that “her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me.”
Because, you know, Marsha Blackburn is for all that scary stuff like letting babies be born alive, protecting the second amendment to the constitution and trying to exert some semblance of control on federal spending. Scary stuff like that.
OMG, Taylor’s, like, so totally intellectual and like, deep and stuff, you guys. No word yet if all the SJWs and other leftist freaks to whom she was appealing will now attack her for the fact that the Dem she endorsed for Governor, the cravenly dishonest Phil Bredeson, said on Friday that he would have voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court (Pro tip: that’s a lie), but it seems likely.
*sigh*
Well, we can scratch her off the list of potential Supreme Court nominees. – Right after her fake news channel spent weeks telling us all that Brett Kavanaugh can’t possibly serve on the Supreme Court because he drank too much in high school, CNN’s Taylor Swift-like fake reporter Caitlin Collins was revealed to have sent some decidedly homophoby-sounding tweets when she was in college.
Of course, everyone at CNN circled the wagons around one of their own, abandoning the puritanish stance they’d taken on Kavanaugh and informing their viewers that Ms. Collins’ unfortunate Twittering was just the hijinks of a poor college girl who didn’t know any better and she’s all, like, changed and other touchy-feely stuff now.
For her part, Collins apologized in a Tweet, because of course she did:
Kaitlan Collins ✔ @kaitlancollins When I was in college, I used ignorant language in a few tweets to my friends. It was immature but it doesn’t represent the way I feel at all. I regret it and apologize.

This was not his finest hour. – Speaking of SJWs and other leftist freaks, Former Astronaut Scott Kelly, issued an apology to all of them who flooded his Twitter feed with nasty, obscene messages after Kelly had quoted and praised… wait for it…Winston Churchill in a tweet earlier in the day:
Scott Kelly ✔ @StationCDRKelly Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support. My point was we need to come together as one nation. We are all Americans. That should transcend partisan politics.

But, of course, with the nitwits in the American left now starting to emulate the tactics employed by the Nazis during the 1930s, the ravages of political correctness dictate that former astronauts can’t acknowledge such truths anymore, as Mr. Kelly’s pathetic apology clearly shows.
“Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill.” *sigh*. I promise never to offend my readers again by quoting Scott Kelly.
Shame on you, Ruth. – In his first day on the job, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh hired an African American law clerk. Why is this significant? Because Justice Kavanaugh, with that single hiring, has now hired exactly the same number of African Americans as Ruth Bader Ginsburg has employed during her 25 years on the Supreme Court and her 13 years on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals before that.
So, to put this simple terms that even leftist can comprehend:
Ginsburg – 38 years, 1 black law clerk.
Kavanaugh – 1 day, 1 black law clerk.
The more you know.
Hey, found those WMDs yet, Colin? – Not to be overshadowed by some pop star, Colin Powell, whose dishonesty as UN Ambassador helped involve the U.S in a 17-year war in Afghanistan and a decade-long debacle in Iraq, somehow feels that he enjoys the moral authority to go off on President Donald Trump and his foreign policy. The unbridled hubris of this man is truly breathtaking.
From our Once You’ve Seen This You Can Never Un-See It file…:
Hey, at least the Pantsuit Princess didn’t wear one of her favorite hospital gowns to Octoberfest, but what in the hell is Slick Willie thinking?
“Go on, take the money and run…”
David "Beto" Blackmon @GDBlackmon Gosh, it's just so darn hard to imagine why. 👇👇👇👇
ABC7 News ✔ @abc7newsbayarea Christine Blasey Ford has no further plans to pursue her sexual misconduct allegations against #BrettKavanaugh, according to her attorneys. https://abc7ne.ws/2IGRbqZ

Right.
That is all.

I support boycotting these singers as soon as they make a leftist statement....quick and targeted boycotts. But if I have to erase all music of leftists, I’d be stuck with Megadeth and Sinatra and a handful of country musicians.
Karlie Kloss is engaged to Joshua Kushner (Jared's brother).
Swift's biggest albums were pop. Country made her a star. Ditching country made her a superstar.
Yeah, just like LeBron James. She’s made a very successful career on a ton of bullshit and a very carefully crafted - but entirely fake - public persona.
My ex-wife took my daughter to one of her concerts and told me, “She’s a really good person!” I replied, “Really, how long have you known her?”
She must have the same manager as The Dixie Chicks. Ha. Ha.
I have the moves of Bruce Lee when I hear her voice on the radio while driving. Next station in a flash.
Of course it’s a dumb idea. Unless you want to set yourself up as the next Joan Baez (and I doubt Swift has the respect of the college crowd right now) it’s not going to help you.
What is Taylor thinking? Voting Democratic stopped being fashionable in Tennessee fifty years ago. They wouldn’t even vote for one of their own in 2000, when he ran for president as a Democrat.
All these guys we reported to be running after her, and lately NO NEW News-—she’s playing for the other side. I’d be surprised if otherwise....
oh well_ never cared for her anyway..Lotta young girls did/do look up to her though
Taylor “Not So” Swift
LOL. Google taylor swift charitable donations.
I believe she switched genres to pop most recently.
Pretty face and empty head.
“Why she just can’t shut up and sing I’ll never know”
You’re correct. She’s a talented songwriter (or at least successful) and performer and knows how to make herself good looking.
Maybe her new goal is to enter politics.
Another stupid celeb who intentionally shot down half her fans.
I don’t live there either (recovering Masshole)
Cool, so am I!...Oh, you mean homo.
Nevermind
Uh, Sinatra may not have been a commie but he was a Democrat through and through. Sorry, only Megadeth left now!
Wellll... there’s also the Beach Boys and probably Journey?
Don't stop beleivin'
