With the incredible demands on her time Taylor still takes the time to keep herself informed on the critical issues of our time. If Taylor can do it, what excuse can anyone possibly give for not keeping themselves informed on the real issues, not the Fox views. Register to vote!
Kamala was everything I’d hoped she would be, calm focused smart and in command of her environment, she made her points eloquently even if the ABC moderators in an effort to get control back, tried to prevent it. They deferred to the insipid one over and over and gave him something like 9 more minutes of air time, it’s late and I’m going on my memory banks so that # may not be precise, but it’s close. He’s so predictable about responding to things that matter so much to his ego, she baited him repeatedly and he fell for it every time as he wandered off into incoherences. He stupidly claimed that Orban liked him as though that was a meaningful endorsement, he’s fucking clueless.
yelling at the TV on my sidelines, I kept protesting that they were giving him more time, then adjusting my yelling to "yeah, yeah! let him hang his own fat ass!"
thing is, I've never met a Hungarian I didn't think was pretty cool.
and they ALL know that weird fucking language, which is related to Finnish and (I think) pretty much nothing else. but Linguistics is NOT my strong suit.
you're probably right about the (political) irrelevance of Hungary itself.
I DID love their stamps when I was an incompetent ten-year-old philatelist, getting into trouble for keeping the ones they sent "for approval." I'm referring to those ads on the back of comic books.
The moderators gave him the opportunity to stuff his foot in his face. The comparison with other debate moderators and interviewers was far and wide. They DID actually ask the questions that should be asked - did they ask them all? Of course not, nor were the questions answered every time. In tffg's case, not once! He dug himself a large hole and Harris tipped him in several times!! Of course, Dick - thats MY opinion. We all have one, dont we?
as soon as he mentioned Orban, my dopamine centers started firing on all cylinders.
I'm hearing that it was five minutes more TFF was allowed to speak, but at the end, it felt to me like they'd given him two-thirds of the time. it seemed like they didn't want to have to outshout the motherfucker. but it was extra time for him to pile it higher and deeper.
the thing with Orban and TFF is that I can't figure out which one is the Dr. Evil and who's Mini-Me? I figure TFF is the original, but I'm not exactly the expert on the Rise of Orban.
Thank you, Tom for another great post. Can you sue the trumpster campaign for libel. I know law suits are a pain in the ass, but you are a public figure, a well known writer of both books a scripts and an unauthorized image of you endorsing trump could be deleterious to your career (borrowing a phrase from Singing in the Rain) You could probably sue his campaign for at l;east 50 mil - maybe more.
As to Taylor Swift, I am not a fan but my youngest granddaughter definitely is she's 29 soon to be 30
"It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter." HALLELUJAH!!!!! I wasn't sure how much of a "bounce" there would be for Harris after this debate, because it was so depressing having to listen to the orange buffoon 1/2 of the time. But THIS IS A GIGANTIC BOUNCE!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!
I finally after figured out how to NOT listen to him. I simply used my mute button… if I wanted to look at his spewing I could read the subtitles.
Even those seemed unbearable.
How can we even compare him to Kamala! Anyway, she took away his chosen power position on stage L in her initial appearance by striding straight across to him to shake his hand. Ha! I thought. Brilliant move.
Brava Taylor and cats! As the esteemed Heather Cox Richardson noted"Good heavens. She is walking him like a poodle". lol. No Gish Gallop used last night, instead what we witnessed was Kamala taking tfg to the woodshed for a good old fashioned, well-deserved ass-whooping.YES!
She started taking him to the woodshed at the onset when she lunged across the stage with her sword out and in the equivalent of the en guarde position that he didn't see coming. I was surprised that her other hand wasn't semi-circled in the air a la Basil Rathbone.
I especially like it that the Trumpers' attempt to hijack Taylor Swift's AI image blew up in their ugly faces. (What's the best word for this? "Deepfake" doesn't acknowledge the victim when a real person's image is being falsely used. Hijack, plagiarize, co-opt, steal?)

My cats approve of Taylor Swift’s endorsement…

Every word spoken in every stolen second hanged him higher.

He grasped for Orban every time he needed to show how respected he was by "Strong men"
Orban - penny ante tinpot running the second-most insignificant country in Europe (after Slovakia).

Hungarians ARE cool. I have one who's a friend through modeling. Terrific talent, very smart guy. He and his wife relocated to Denmark this past year.

I laughed out loud.
Glad to be of comical service!
Taylor Swift
Childless Cat Lady
Heh.
I watched Rachel read Taylor Swifts letter aloud.to to Tim Walz and the emotion on his face was so real and human. Joy is infectous.
I was also watching then and yes, he was genuinely happy.

You just won.🏅

oh, I'd say he was doing his best Gish Gallop. but she knew how to handle it.
this strategy of making him smaller and smaller is pretty fucking brilliant.

Glory Be! Hats off to Dickie, Taylor and any BFD that wants to join the victory train
Awesome news. There's still plenty of time for the message to get around.
And she’s so literate. No offense Tom, but she’s right up there with you. 😉
I think Tom is Proud of that!
He is. She's obviously very talented.
❤️😽😻
One might almost say it's a HUGE deal.
I couldn't hum one of her songs if you put a gun to my head, but I am now officially a Swiftie.
Me too.
Amen, sister!
