Right wingers say stupid shit that makes no fucking sense. News at 11.

Annnnnd now X (formerly known as Twitter) is banning search for “Taylor Swift” due to AI fakes. But really it is to mute her potential powerbroker endorsement of Biden. Seriously.

Curses! Foiled again!

They said the same shit about Hillary. If she wins definite war with Russia, I knew people very concerned about that and it affected voting. I don’t understand the conservative mind.

Yeah phew, good thing you're not at war with Russia

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Idk man. Had we gone to war with Russia, then they probably wouldn't have gone to war with Ukraine. Given their performance against Ukraine, we probably would have squashed them like a tiny little bug under the weight of our terrible boot. Then they probably wouldn't have the resources to run massive online troll farms any more, the Republican party would be negatively impacted, and there would be a lot less propaganda online. Perhaps the whole world would be a little better off if we had gone to war with Russia.

To be honest, I do not mind the Super Bowl getting ruined for these miserably ignorant and miserable knuckle-draggers.

In the national divorce... I never thought liberals would get football

I love the idea that hard right idiots get enraged and boycott everything they love, leaving them sitting alone in their garages angrily muttering to themselves and hating everything.

It must be exhausting being like these guys. Imagine spending that much emotional energy on hating stuff that you can just as easily ignore and go about your day.

It certainly smells like a ploy to get more women to watch football, but that's about it.

I think the Chiefs have proven perfectly capable of going to the Superbowl by now lol

Certainly the Chiefs don't have years of dominance...

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't get it. With 4 Super Bowl appearances in 5 years, they are clearly the Lord's anointed football team.

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a chiefs fan: see 2012. Not anointed, just incredibly lucky.

Imagine your favorite thing in the world - sweaty men trying to push a handegg up and down a field - being infiltrated and rigged so even that is no longer sacred for your Sunday winter ritual. Fucking epic.

[–] PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

"Right wingers"? Who? Some former presidential hopeful and some lady named Laura? We need to set a number when some "journalist" says a group of people are saying/doing something. 40, 50 people. I don't know. A few turds on Twitter hardly qualifies. Election season is certainly heating up.

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is so incredibly stupid.

NFL fans around the league, regardless of political faction, have been calling the Taylor Swift Super Bowl since the relationship was announced. It isn’t right wingers doing this.

Just wait. We will see Taylor Swift lift the Super Bowl trophy next to Mahomes and Kelce. It’ll be plastered all over everything for a month.

Considering my Baltimore Ravens lost, this is clearly all rigged and the NFL wants Kelce to propose to Swift with the Superbowl in one hand.

I'm making bets she's the halftime show next year and she'll drop a breakup song about Kelce in the show while he's in the locker room .... just to maximize the ratings and pr.

Go Ravens. Go Niners.
