She has a keen grasp of the obvious.

The Cheeto doesn't want a resolution to the southern border issue. McConnell was quoted saying as much. Yet a parade of GOP pundits moans that Biden isn't doing anything, that the Sec of Homeland Security must be impeached. Mere performance for the brain dead.

They have created a self-licking ice cream cone.

They have created a self-licking ice cream cone.

Biden has said that the pending deal would give him the authority to close the border and that he would use it Day One.

Leaving aside his cynical abandonment of principle for political gain, it’s telling that Biden is offering the GOP what they’ve been shrieking for, and they’re STILL vowing to kill the bill.

They need to save face for the US vs Them circus that conservative voters cannot see for what it is.

Trump Allies Pledge ‘Holy War’ Against Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift hasn’t even endorsed Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign, but Trump is already privately grousing he’s “more popular” than her.

According to three people familiar with the matter, Trump loyalists working on or close to the former president’s campaign, longtime Trump allies in right-wing media, and an array of outside advisers to the ex-president have long taken it as a given that Swift will eventually endorse Biden (as she did in 2020). Indeed, several of these Republicans and conservative media figures have discussed the matter with Trump over the past few months, the sources say.

I can’t imagine being that consumed with petty jealousies.

trump's penis is even smaller than his brain. Which leads me to believe, an electron microscope has to be used to see it.

Exactly how idiotic theses assholes are:

Conservative social media is engulfed with a Taylor Swift conspiracy theory centered on the idea that the NFL is rigging games to ensure the pop superstar and boyfriend’s team both make and win the Super Bowl — just in time to give a nod to President Biden in the presidential election.

[...]

Kansas City has been to three Super Bowls in five years and won Sunday in a game that featured terribly timed turnovers and careless penalties by the losing Baltimore Ravens. While Kansas City was the underdog, the victory was hardly a big surprise.

But that seems to matter little with those fanning the conspiracy on the right.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote the morning after Chiefs victory.

“And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months,” said Ramaswamy, no stranger to conspiracy theories.

Elon Musk, the owner of X, later retweeted another post on the subject from Ramaswamy with this message: “Exactly.”

Jack Lombardi, a conservative activist who ran an unsuccessful bid for the House in 2022, also posted on social media he has “never been more convinced that the Super Bowl is rigged.”

“The Democrats’ Taylor Swift election interference psyop is happening in the open,” claimed far-right influencer Laura Loomer. “It’s not a coincidence that current and former Biden admin officials are propping up Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. They are going to use Taylor Swift as the poster child for their pro-abortion [get out the vote] Campaign.”

“The NFL is totally RIGGED for the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift, Mr. Pfizer (Travis Kelce),” Mike Crispi, a Rumble video host, said on X. “All to spread DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA. Calling it now: KC wins, goes to Super Bowl, Swift comes out at the halftime show and ‘endorses’ Joe Biden with Kelce at midfield.”

I wish I could say I am making this up.

I blame reality television and people becoming so intellectually lazy that they waste idle time concocting ridiculous theories.

I wasn't quite sure where this belonged so I punted it here.
