UPDATE: Apparently the guitar was not signed (or certified) by Taylor Swift afterall. 🤣
Good job with the messaging there, Banksy.
This is just sad. He could have given it to a kid on a cancer ward who loves Taylor Swift. He probably has grandkids who love her music, they could have had it. He surely has kids in his neighbourhood who love her music, could have donated it to a youth music group or something. But this is what he chooses to do with it. To impress a man who still doesn’t know how to apply foundation after 50+ years of using it, apparently just rolling his face across a tableful of it each morning like he’s fingerprinting his head.
If Trump doesn’t even so much as ‘truth’ about this, I think this silly fuck is gonna feel genuine grief. He’s probably expecting a phone call, or even a meeting & photo op next time Trump’s in town. “I spent 4 grand to do this, surely he’ll notice me!”
Sad, sad, sad.
If he has kids or grandkids, chances are they already hate him.
Ok, we’re going to grandpa’s. Leave your tablets & phones in the car. Don’t talk about music, church, politics, school, rainbows, libraries, pronouns, anyone gay or trans, tv shows, or really anything. See if Grandma can turn on an old Disney movie, any that came out before you were born, and we’ll leave right after lunch.
It’s virtue signaling but don’t tell them that or they’ll lose their minds.
If I throw my money away to simp on a e-girl I’ll see some boob. Donny wouldn’t even give dumdum over there the time of day.
Metal as fuck
What was the charity?
High school seniors looking for scholarships into Agricultural programs
I mean, it’s both funny and very benign, no complaints from me and apparently Taylor swift.
I mean, he paid for it and its his to what he wants with it.
If you think it was worth more than that, should have brought it yourself
He’s welcome to smash almost anything I own for $500 apiece.
Id smash…
It reminds me of the weirdoes buying wine to splill it down the drain when France had the audacity of telling the truth in the un during the whole Irak mess. Of course the wine makers and sellers were fine with that.
at least go Boston tea party and steal it
Or all the

In fairness, a bud light can being ripped apart by a .22 hollow point is a pretty awesome sight. And what else is canned horse piss good for?
Well he convinced me!
I not going to vote for Taylor Swift for President.
I know Weirdo is the current kinda forced (IMO) word we’re hurling at the magas these days, but that kind of behavior is legit weird. Like really weird.
There’s obviously the “some people have more money than brains” angle of dropping 4K on something so you can destroy it.
Then there’s the “I’m a grown-ass man, and I’m so insecure about a female celebrity endorsing a politician I disagree with that I’m going to drop 4K so that I can publicly and in front of cameras showcase that insecurity for the entire world to see, while gloating and being proud of it” angle. (Which by the way, smoothbrain magas, serves to amplify her endorsement, not diminish it.)
I can’t promise I’m not going to drive around with “Fuck Donald Trump” blaring and my windows down all during election day and the day after (regardless of outcome), but I’m not going to spend $4k for the privilege, and I’m sure as hell not going to do it for an assembled audience.
It’s not really forced imo. Waltz called them weird conversationally and it just kinda stuck. Likely because it fits so well.
It stuck because of how they reacted to it. If they had reacted the same they’ve done by being called fascists, racists, nazis, misogynists, paedophiles etc. it wouldn’t have become a thing. But the one thing they can’t handle being called is “weird”, which is in itself extremely weird. I’m all for absolutely overusing this and finding other words they can’t handle, it’s hilarious to see them so clearly show that they’re just mentally 3-year-olds having angry outbursts.
I agree that it’s fitting and the word should have been applied to them sooner. However, I definitely think some folks and journalists go out of their way to use the word. I’m not even saying there is anything wrong with that, just acknowledging that sometimes it feels a little forced.
Congratulations, you’ve noticed the cracks in the simulation.
It sounds forced because it is forced as a completely transparent DNC strategy play.
Except they stole that from the left, too. Mainstream leftists have been calling liberals and right wingers weird for literal years before Walz even entered the national conversation. Libs have just turned around and projected it onto CHUDs.
Weird how I just can’t stop finding parallels between libs and MAGA.
Yeah, things that are different often have similarities. The logical fallacy comes in extrapolating those similarities into incorrect conclusions
The ocean and the sky are both blue, so sky must also be liquid.
You’re not half as smart as you fancy yourself to be.
There’s also the “If you’re gonna smash a guitar, go Townsend on it, don’t use a hammer” angle.
The sign in the background says “wildgame dinner”.
I’m guessing this is some redneck hunters group that either auctioned that off to be destroyed on stage, or he bought it in his own time for this act.
These kind of people live to hate libs. It’s one of their favorite passtimes.
In that context, this seems totally normal.
It’s the Side A to the Side B of the same old record.
I maintain that calling them Redcaps, basically an especially spiteful and nasty kind of goblin, is the most fitting way to label them
Ferengi. They embody the ferengi from star Trek to me. Regardless, neither of ours works because they are nerdy references a good deal of them don’t understand. They understand being called weird though, and it gets under their skin. That’s the important bit. I wouldn’t care if someone called me that, but it damn sure bothers them, so that’s what they’re called even though other words fit better, like rape apologists.
Quark could actually grow and learn though, these people seem incapable of that. It’s unfair to Ferengi to compare them.
Oho good one! I never made that connection until now 👏
I’d be willing to bet he owns many things but has a very deep debt.
that kind of behavior is legit weird
This kind of “buy things to destroy them so other people can’t have it” protests from the petite bourgeois are nothing new, though.
They’re just expressions of rage by people with more money than empathy.
“PAY ATTENTION TO ME!”
How can he smash?
$4000 dollars to hate, $0 for love.
I’m waiting for the auction for the giant faucet.
She endorsed a lady for prez, so we should performatively destroy things linked with her. It totally makes sense. /s
Sigh…
Weirdos…
It’s hardly even linked to her. Like she has no connection to the guitar, it means nothing. I always wonder what’s in these people’s heads. It’s easy to say nothing, but he had this idea, he thought it’s a good idea, he maybe even told someone about that idea, he had time to think about his idea, and still thought it’s a good idea?
That $4,000 could have bought him a damn nice vacation in the Caribbean.
The caribbean? You mean around those … looks around black people ???
/s if it’s really needed.
The West Indies? The home of Kamala Harris’s Dad? How can she be black if both parents are Indian? /s
Stupidity is a hell of a drug.
What a waste, children in Africa could have eaten that guitar.
Probably the second reason he destroyed it.
The hammer is still fine
I’m pretty sure - wait, hear me out - that Taylor Swift is still able to sign her name, and that - you won’t believe this - other guitars exist.
She should sign hammers
Big if true. Do you have any sources?
