Nail in Trump’s coffin. Taylor Swift has come out and endorsed Harris. Game over. What is it with these luvvies thinking theìr views are so important? They have no more insight than the average public,though maybe it's a sad indictment of how daft some of the public are that they'd take serious notice or be influenced by what some singer says re.politics. While I agree with that to an extent, in this particular case Swift was kind of forced into a declaration, given that the Trump campaign had been pushing faked images and words out claiming that she was with them. It's a fact, though, that some people look up to their idols for guidance, and at least she is more thoughtful, intelligent and insightful than, say, Kid Rock. It was a decent statement.

They have no more insight than the average public,though maybe it's a sad indictment of how daft some of the public are that they'd take serious notice or be influenced by what some singer says re.politics. Those who fought for the masses to get a vote must be turning in their graves seeing how low politics have become when the views of a pop star becomes important to anyone. Really most would have known anyway by being a luvvie she would not be supporting trump. Why is she dismissed as a "luvvie", by the way? In any other industry she might be lauded as an extraordinarily successful businesswoman and financial powerhouse. Why might, for example, Elmo Musk's views be deemed more important by so many people (not suggesting they are by your good selves)?

I have avoided most of this purposely but did he specify what kind of pets? I can see the headlines already, immigrants ate my beaver 🤣 I believe it refers to Springfield Ohio and its Haitian population
The Daily Caller is not an unbiased source. There is for sure a problem in Springfield Ohio with a rapid influx of large numbers of migrants that should not be ignored for the sake of both residents and incomers. But the business about consuming pets is of course fantasy (sparked by a J.D. Vance comment, I believe). There was one verified instance of a woman killing and maybe eating her cat - but she is an American citizen, resident of Canton, Ohio, with mental health problems and a long court record.

Cats and dogs... The look on Harris face when he goes off is priceless. The look on his face when they first walk on at the beginning of the debate - now that is priceless. She walks right up to him, with purpose, through centre stage, offering to shake his hand, and he's shuffling rear stage around the back of his lectern looking like a naughty little boy who's having to work so hard to resist running away from Mum A total power move. Harris and her advisors knew that he would try to impose himself by ignoring and belittling, and she was having none of that, so moved right into his space with the dominating handshake. She kind of flipped the Trump-Clinton debate situation of 2016. And she stayed on the front foot throughout, in the face of his insane and incoherent babblings. Like "she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison". Wtf?

We had the same nonsense here for years with people claiming Indian restaurants were putting cats in curries.

He's utterly bemused she doesn't support him. Unfathomably rich and from the country music scene originally. He thinks she's a natural Trumpist, so her backing anyone else just twists his tiny little brain inside out. Makes me laugh like a drain watching him deal with this one. FWIW, people other than politicians have always suggested who they think other people should vote for. And a grotesque, bullshit-peddling Yank/Oz media magnate make a career/fortune out of it. I think the likes of that festering pustule are a bigger threat to and stain on democracy than a pop singer backed into a corner by a lying, narcissistic bully.

Didn't fall for it obvious and told them I first heard it 30 + years ago. The amount of rats I've seen in alleyways at the back of takeaways and restaurants doesn't bear thinking about, but I've never seen any in a premises. Or any remnants either. I have however had to remind far too many chefs to wash their hands after they've been to the toilet though ... Which absolutely begs the question: what would they have done had I not been there to remind them? 😬

Thought TLOBS had wrote that! Why can't Taylor Swift have her view, she's just as much right as anyone else? She is the biggest pop star on the planet and I'm sure she has more insight than the average American! If people follow her values, rather than Trump's, I'm sure America and the world will be a much better place.

Edit: Maybe not a duty but definitely a right.
