“Elon Musk — who they hate — he saw that and he wrote this,” Rubin said. “‘Fine Taylor, you win. I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.’ So, he’s mocking, he’s exposing the ridiculousness. It’s like, Taylor Swift, you are a young, pretty girl. Do you know what the gang members from Venezuela do to young, pretty girls? It ain’t pretty.”

OK, is there anyone in that party that isn't obsessed with raping Taylor Swift?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 65 points 1 month ago

Add that to the weird obsession about producing children and it's literally The Handmaid's Tale.

Maybe he just wants to gift her one of his kids he doesn't like anymore. I guess that might be true for all of them. But I don't want to give him too much credit, it's probably worse.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Elon maybe, but Dave went out of his way to hire two surrogates so he and his husband could have their own kids. That, of course, isn't God's way, and the party had just spent months beating the "all gays are groomers" drum so he certainly lost some goodwill with the party. That's why he's been spewing the most ridiculous rhetoric to prove his loyalty and distract from his own "sins."

Fine Taylor, you win. I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.

😳🥴

I’d be more worried about Melon than the Venezuelans if I were in her position.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is a shitty take, but here we go:

The last time conservatives were big, ol' shitbags to Taylor Swift, she made the song You Need to Calm Down

While I hate and vehemently oppose this INSANELY DISGUSTING and incredibly weird rhetoric they're using, I can't help but imagine the absolute banger we're gonna get out of this nightmare.

Fucked around and found out

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

she made the song You Need to Calm Down

Was it popular?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's decent. 352 million views on Youtube.

I'm usually like four or five years behind on music but even I remember when it came out so ~~I~~ it must have been pretty damn popular.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

so I must have been pretty damn popular.

No need to brag.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

God damn speech to text kills me every time

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

No clue, but it gets stuck in my head all the time

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

You got a purty mouth, Rubin. You know what them 'zuelans do to purty mouths?

I've about McFucken had it with these chuds opening their mouths. Everything they say is beyond idiotic.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

Wait wait, but conservatives won't shut the fuck up about how women hit the wall at 30. How can Taylor be both young and pretty and also in her mid-30s? Have they been lying to us this whole time? Crazy.

[–] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the weird SA creepiness aside, i'm pretty sure Taylor Swift's security team is better equipped than the Russian armed forces at this point

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 17 points 1 month ago

Well to be fair.... I am better armed than some of the Russian forces I've seen...

That bar hit the ground and sunk in a little bit.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I hate this installment of it's always projection.

Yes, vote for the actual rapist. Big brains

That sounds like a threat. Wouldn't be surprised at that point of he also has ties with other crime lords like Putin.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does Rubin know what republicans want to do to gays and women? It ain't pretty.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

He's all for it when it's his people doing it.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Imagine calling a western millennial young - we were born old af.
(Tho mileage might vary depending on which class of parents you chose at birth.)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

She's 34. That's only young if you're in your 90s when everyone under 60 is young.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Young? She's almost 35.
