It's absolutely crazy to me how Republicans cannot abide successful women.

Pretty sure all their mothers were failures, so they can only associate womanhood with failure.

That's not even the issue.

They love sydney sweeney because their propaganda networks told them to.

They hate taylor swift because she voted against their cult leader.

It's all about the cult leader. If anyone supports him, they are good. If anyone opposes him, they are bad. That's as deep as their brains go.

Oh no!!!.

All Taylor/Travis pictures and articles.

Her wedding dress, the venue, the reception, the wedding, the honeymoon....on and on.

Nonstop pictures and more pictures.

My wife just told me her ring cost 1 million.....must you tell me this?

I don't care.

Poor Travis. He used to be a man.

Now he's Mr. Swift.

The white, liberal/progressive lesbian is the worst thing to happen to the black community.

They told the black woman "you don't need no man", and now 80% of our kids are in single woman households.

Republicans locked up all your brothers for smoking weed and that's why the kids don't have dads.

You liked him way better when you could fantasize that he was gay. This makes that way tougher.

I always questioned if Taylor is really a good role model for young girls.

She sure is popular.

She's 35 now and pushing the limit for teenyboppers.

Will she take a break to have kids?

She's a little long in the tooth for it but she still has time.

Who will be her next demographics?

Speak,

In the past he was pretty interesting to look at, for sure.

But now you gotta check out his photos in Sept 2025 GQ.

Trying to do the sexy model look with a dadbod isn't his best look.

The dadbod look isnt exactly unappealing to me but it has to be the right setting.

Travis slicking his hair back trying to be alluring in the water bobbing like a cork doesn't work.

I'd proffer that is between you and your wife, and not necessary to ask for social media opinions on the question.

He has plenty of money but independently they're in different leagues.

Got a source for that assertion, beside the usual conspiracy-theory websites your current alias seems to thrive on?

You don't know a joke when you see it?

@#33 ... His money is pocket change to her. ...

Yet, she loves him.

I do notice that your alias seems to prefer denigrating the relationship, rather than talking about the love it may involve.


Why?

#36 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-08-26 08:02 PM | Reply

@#35 ... You don't know a joke when you see it? ...

I do.

But there was nothing in your alias' comment that indicated it might have been a joke.

And now, this comment, after I had called out the false assertion of your alias, that it was a joke.

If I had not called it out, would your alias have left it there to stand, ~as a joke?~

Or as the usual MAGA degradation of single women?

Nah. I was quite specific in my #37.

'Tis a shame your alias seems to have missed that specificity.

In the past, I did enjoy, and learn from, the discussions and debates I have had with BillJohnson.

However, in this thread, BillJohnson seems to have turned into just another alias here on this most august site.

Why?

Nope..I'm still confused.
