President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Rationalization. The human species would go insane without it.

 

Rich people fly a lot. Very rich people fly private a lot. They are taken to task or ignored according to the observer's politics. Murdock is ok, Swift is not or Swift is ok and Murdock is not. There's nothing new about any of it. People who care would rather all sorts spewed out less hydrocarbons, people who troll are blowing smoke in big diesel pickups.

Pick your chosen target of opportunity and start pointing fingers.

 

Pretty hard to have worldwide concert tours without flying a lot.

 

Today, only a handful of people know what it means. And they're scared. Soon, you will know. The Jiiiina Syndrome.

 

"Republicans buy concert tickets, too."

They are taken to task or ignored based on if they are pretending to care or not. Murdoch doesn't pretend to care.

 

Meanwhile.....they're really taking the "challenging Fox News" thing seriously I see.

Maybe all this Taylor Swift nonsense will finally be the thing that clues in the masses how ridiculous, craven and unserious these far-right loons have become.

They'll be something even more fucking stupid in a matter of days or weeks, so we'll see.

I know very little of Ms. Swift other than my niece is a huge fan. I can name a few songs, and she was good when she hosted SNL years ago. The far-right rage boners over her are next-level pathetic.

 

I am curious how much social media algorithms have played a part in it. She's a goldmine for defenders and haters alike. I wonder if Gannett's Swiftie beat writer is getting a Super Bowl credential?

 

LOL

 

I can't name one song, I honestly can't. I don't know that I'm proud of it, but I really don't care either.

Some things flit thru our collective experiences - like the fukin Macarena. And then they're gone.

 

My track record should reflect heavily on the side of outdoor conservation. I'm am very much pro clean waterways, clear skies, anti-litter, etc.
I can't get upset about famous people flying private. It's just not feasible. Not a hill I'm going to die on.
If Taylor Swift is throwing plastic into my ocean, I'll cut a bitch.
