Greetings fellow normal people! What a typical day we’re having.
Remember when Trump was impeached (the second time) and Republicans argued that there was no point since he was about to leave office?
The uncle Sam image is clearly AI, but the pictures with people in “Swifties for Trump” shirts look real. But there is a “satire” tag on one of them…
Either he believes the images are real, or he knows they are fake and is trying to meme a little. Either way he is a moron. If this forces Taylor’s hand to either disavow Trump or just straight endorse Harris, he’s cooked.
He was in a tough situation. We need to remember the extent of right wing vitriol and hate. Anyone who speaks out against Trump gets death threats. Their concerts would have had protestors outside. Continuing the tour could have been a safety risk for their fans. I’m not saying cancelling everything was the right move, but it’s not as simple as “dick riding for Donald Trump.”
They’ve been around awhile. During the pre-MAGA, “friends across the aisle” times I could see the value of creating a group that generally aligns with the Republican platform (low taxes, small government, etc.) but supports gay rights and pushes for progress on that issue from within the party.
Today though, anti-LGBT sentiment is so strong within the party that it’s hard to understand why the Log Cabin Republicans continue to exist, especially when they are openly shunned by the party.
I don’t mind the concept of dating apps, but nearly all of the useful features are paywalled. I also wouldn’t mind paying a few bucks for a service I find useful, but the prices are outrageous.
Tesla’s image is definitely tarnished. It may not be meaningfully affecting their bottom line or forecasts yet, but a bad reputation is hard to fix. As competitors start to step up and current owners look to replace their aging Teslas over the next few years, it’s going to make a difference. I’ve got high hopes for Rivian, personally.
