The future of the 'free' world (are you suggesting we are free and the rest isn't) rests on the US elections (?) and whether an estbalishment Zionazi Sinophobe is elected or whether an establishment Zionazi Russophobe is? Are you mad?

The future of the free world rests on how merciful BRICS is to us, dear.

And Taylor Swift is incredibly talented. Sour grapes.

LOL. No sour grapes here, especially with regard to talentless nobodies like Swift who rose to fame and made their millions not because they are especially gifted, but because they just happened to be in the right place at the right time to benefit from hugely successful marketing campaigns, which the moronic masses buy into. You might find a few grapes of the wrathful kind occasionally though.

Your art of getting colourful eases the gob-smacking odium surrounding this fast decomposing underworld timescape of eternal hell. Earth and most all of Nature is actually quite angelic, ae...

I think you summed up the situation very well. There is no other conclusion…it’s going to be to hell in a hand basket for the world when the cackling word-salad regime steals another election. Taylor Swift and the rest of the celebrities can go jump in a lake for all I care. They are performers and hold zero bearing in my life, but here again, so many people are so totally lost they only know how to have heroes if that person is a celebrity! But that’s a soap box for a different thread.

It's OK. Rank, empty-headed idiocy leading inexorably toward entirely avoidable calamitous disaster is God's way of teaching his children how to stop being morons. We're just not very attentive students.

Personally, I blame the parent(s).

I wouldn’t say talentless. The lyrics to Anti-Hero reveal what she really thinks about US politics.

“Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism

Like some kind of congressman? (A tale as old as time)”

There’s been a rumour for weeks that she, or ‘her people’ had signed an endorsement contract with the DNC. Business wins out every time.

Trump has lobbied her boyfriend Travis with no success.

OK, admittedly, I'm not a 'Swiftie' so I'm flinging insults largely from a position of studied ignorance. So I checked out the lyrics to 'Anti-Hero':

"I should not be left to my own devices

They come with prices and vices

I end up in crisis (I’ve realized all this time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming

One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving

‘Cause you got tired of my scheming

For the last time

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me

At tea time, everybody agrees

I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror

It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby

And I’m a monster on the hill

Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city

Pierced through the heart, but never killed"

Not exactly Leonard Cohen or Dory Previn is it?

+1 for honesty. The Z'rs are an interesting gen, and many of course adore her, but she is Millennial through and through; whose billionaire status had to find some historic stakeholding -- for the kids and fashion and well produced seductive staging of Neo Reality Life...
