    She’s still the top grossing concert act, top selling pop star, and considered a style icon. Im fairly positive by most metrics Taylor is still hot.

    Been saying this for a couple of years. It would be child’s play to push this man into total narcissistic collapse.

    Imagine if pop stars, actors, world leaders, media personalities, tech bro billionaires, all hit him at once, anyone who has the ear of millions. Just today he’s had a mini meltdown over Tay Tay (from months ago) and Bruce Springsteen.

    World leaders would be especially effective as he considers himself a peer. Those people baiting him up would take him back to his school days where the rich-kid in-crowd bullied him. Gods, just imagine if someone like Macron came out and said, (imagine French accent) “He thinks he is a leader, part of our club. He is only a small child with a cult and will never belong among serious leaders. His wife will not touch him, but we can she see how she make eyes, no? In front of the old cuckold!” And then have a dozen others come out and say the same.

    Can you imagine the total hissing, spitting, pissing frenzy that would follow? Trump would be unable to do anything but scream, his mind unable to even attempt to govern. Shut him down hard enough and the Cabinet would be forced to pull the 25th Amendment on him.

    I should lead this thing.

            DOGE seems to have slowed way down. I actually think Musk’s involvement has waned a lot, he has become persona non grata in cabinet meetings and day-to-day WH activities.

          He didn’t quit, he just stepped out of the spotlight. It needs to be poibted back at him to bring that Tesla stock price down again (although that’s probably unnecessary woth their sales collapse since even the most brain rotted investors will sell once bankruptcy hits)

      Trump don’t care, it’s not like that gross little orange Toad of his works at his age. As long as he has his trophy wife, fawning sycophants, and that one crazy chick to throw herself at him like a bitch in heat with spongiform brain disease, he’s fine to live out the rest of his putrid existence ruining things for everybody else in order to glorify himself. People like him make me wish I could be religious, because he absolutely deserves to burn in hell along with the rest of the monsters working for him.

              yes, its how long liz truss survived being the pm in the UK, a whole head of cabbage(from fresh to rotten) which lasted longer than her tenure.

              It’s the cabbage that was live-streamed for the duration of her holding office.

        I mean, she’s managed her image and business this long. I think politics is a good fit for her skillset.

        As is the power she’d wield over the Democrat Party. They would worship the ground she walks on (in an attempt for some of that celebrity to rub off).

        …But the election would be gruesomely dirty. I can only imagine all the shit that would get thrown at her.

                  Washington, Jackson, Van Buren, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, and Grover Cleveland got a high school (ish) level of education.

                  Andrew Johnson got tutored while he was an apprentice.

                  In modern times, I think only republicans have not gone further than undergrad (Reagan, HW Bush, Trump), going back to Roosevelt (FD not Teddy).

            She’ll have a full cabinet, policy crafted by an army, and practical experience under her belt. She’s clearly charismatic. AFAIK she’s not anti science or conspiratorial or anything… So what if she’s not a Harvard Graduate? As much as I’d like an STEM PhD in the White House, compared to most alternatives, I almost view that as a plus.

            And again, she will have so much power. It would be like Trump, where she can swing unpopular stances through sheer force of will (like Trump is doing in the current Middle East visit: https://www.axios.com/2025/05/15/trump-israel-syria-policy-reverse-biden )

              None of that matters when the person making the final call knows less about how her job works than most of the voters. We need well educated leaders not people you can be almost certain do not know anything about the subjects needed to govern effectively eg the law, economics, history, diplomacy, and what the various parts of the government do.

              We should never select anyone that undereducated. It will always end badly because the leader cannot know what they are doing.

                Ehh, I agree in principle but have grown cynical.

                The American voters clearly don’t care about actual qualifications. The presidency is an attention contest, pure and simple. Truth is relative. Even if we get a highly qualified president in (and I don’t believe that’s possible anymore) they’re going to be totally beholden to Facebook and Twitter politics memes.

                I’d rather have someone that can dominate the narrative and wield actual political power to do decent things, even if their decisions aren’t always the best. Like… who else could bring millions into civic engagement?

            A democratic leader needs to accurately represent their constituents and surround themselves with knowledgeable experts. No matter how well-schooled someone is, no one person can know everything involved in running a country.

                A degree doesn’t prove a person actually applied themselves and absorbed the information, and auto-didacts can absolutely study macroecon and diplomacy.

                  The lack of a degree is what is relevant here because it proves what they haven’t been educated in.

                  She lacks all of the relevant math to be able to study macro. It’s not a subject that lends itself to self teaching.

      fun fact, its well known trump only attended few security briefings, and he will only pay attention if its heavily summarized, or its on a powerpoint with simple graphics and bullet parts. he has attention span, much like his dimwitted followers.
