That’s not what he’s doing here at all. He’s at least 5 steps ahead of caring about her endorsement.

After a year of seeing your posts, I’ll take a pass on trying to inform you anymore.

I just don’t see a positive result from the effort.

Yep— “I Wonder as I Wander” as the mind may occasionally. But no matter- whatever flesh is being enhanced is in reality.. not there. Wandering eye disorder.

It’s reflex, not desperation. “I tweet, therefore I am.” Getting into a spitting match with Taylor Swift is like getting into a spitting match with an eight year old at a playground.

The point is Democrats will use whoever they can to get a class of voters to vote against their best interests.

Travis endorsed the repeated, ineffective and dangerous, jabs. He, like Swiftie, has made a lot of bad choices in life.

He doesn’t need to say anything.

Not every comment, rumor, or action requires a response.

If I may, and in the spirit of Andrew Breitbart’s politics being downstream from culture…

…whether she or the left like it or not, Taylor Swift embodies American Individualism and Exceptionalism:

-she was raised a Christian by her undivorced parents

-she didn’t got to private border schools; she has a combo private and public school education

-she wasn’t an immediate hit. She had rejections

-she started out in country music, bucking the trend of being a dopey pop slut

-she writes and performs her own material and instruments

-she’s not writing smutty or blatantly anti-American songs

-she’s got a higher net worth than Rush did - HT Gary from Dayton: “Swift is wealthier than most countries of the world.”

-she’s not on TMZ smashing a car windshield with a baseball bad

-no government handouts, no abrogation of others’ rights

If we put this resume in front of any leftists, they’d writhe and protest and cheapen and slander. Alternatively, any traditional person would consider her an American Success Story.

She’s not Dolly Parton (yet..), but she’s light years ahead of Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, and those has-beens Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera and the Uglyness Formerly Known As Madonna.

Taylor Swift is not on my playlist, I know one of her songs (Shake It Off, which is kinda catchy though she wrote the lyrics and not the melody), and her politics are not in my ballpark.

That said, the whole “the right hates TSwift” saga is a MSM ginned-up controversy. It’s likely devised to keep the masses hypnotized from her underlying uniquely American success.

Trump’s tweet is sort of an attempt to sort all this out. Had he consulted with us, the tweet would be better. Alas, he’s not on FR (unless he’s Laz).

It would behoove Deplorables to not take the bait and go on the offensive, like reclaiming the rainbow for God: chat about all the positive, AMERICAN qualities Ms Swift brings to the world.

Every time a Taylor Swift song is streamed, a few moments are taken off Klaus Schwab’s life, the lights flicker at a BRICS meeting, and a kitten is born.

Did she even mention Toby Keith’s passing? You know, the guy that was primarily responsible for getting her started?

I’m not saying she’s perfect.

Maybe she sent condolences privately.

That said, staying silent IMHO was a big swing and a miss.

It will be interesting to see if Swift, or Kelce’s reply to Trumps Tweet is going to be. You know there are going to have to say something, and that’s the corner he painted them in.
How many more folks will be watching the game because of Trumps Tweet? ;)

If Kelce is the pro I think he is, this tweet should be the LAST thing in his mind. He shouldn’t even be near a phone.

Similarly, Swift, Inc. has a conundrum…reply and appear distracted, or ignore and get attacked.

First World Problems are so taxing. /s

anyone with half a brain knows this ends with Swift singing a new breakup song.

She has not. Her relationship with Toby Keith is complicated. While he did discover her, he also received 2.5% of her album sale profits on Big Machine so Swift helped make Toby Keith very wealthy.

While you're usually spot on Taylor is a hard-corps Leftist Democrat, making a song a few years ago supporting the glomo-homo agenda with a vengeance. Sometimes money, fame and being surrounded with people kissing your ass changes a person.

And that this Super Bowl has been subjugated to her tenuous relationship to a player (who's own ex was of different race but approves to get in on the money wagon) makes me pine for the Budweiser Clydesdales whom we know have no agenda other than a nice feed bag.
