Taylor Swift Slams Trump for “Calculated Dismantling” of USPS

The rise of Political Taylor Swift continues as the pop star has taken a swipe at Donald Trump over the worsening crisis with the US Postal Service. For those unaware, Trump recently admitted that he was holding up funding of the USPS — which has been removing mailboxes and sorting machines across the country — because of mail-in voting. He then said he’d only compromise on funding the vital service if Democrats caved on Republican’s demands for COVID-19 relief. Many see Trump’s crass handling of the situation as a corrupt attempt to sabotage the election, and that includes T. Swift. “Trump’s calculated dismantling of USPS proves one thing clearly: He is WELL AWARE that we do not want him as our president,” she wrote in a tweet. “He’s chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans...

A Brief History of Marge Simpson Versus Washington

You may think it’s a sign of our perpetually insane times that a member of the Trump administration somehow managed to kick up a feud with a cartoon character. Nevertheless, Trump’s Senior Legal Adviser, Jenna Ellis, recently tweeted that Democratic VP candidate Kamala Harris “sounds like Marge Simpson.” This prompted Marge, ever the consummate (albeit imaginary) professional, to issue a polite but cutting response, criticizing Ellis for resorting to name-calling, something she discourages in her young children, and for disrespecting suburban housewives. That might seem like the latest bizarre cut from the never-ending “greatest hits” of 2020. But The Simpsons, and Marge in particular, have long found themselves entangled with real life political figures, most of whom, like Ellis, underest...

Now, despite some eye rolls from those who can’t seem to look past Kamala’s record as a prosecutor and decisions she made as California’s Attorney General, the enthus...
