COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
It is appalling and unprecedented that a former President, trying to be a future President, would demand that leaders of his party sabotage and abandon a bipartisan bill to address the border issue, asking to keep it going so he could blame the current President and take credit for "solving" it later.
Let's be clear: that is tantamount to TREASON.
It's like asking a boxer to take a dive.
It's like asking a basketball player to shave points.
It's like asking members of Congress NOT TO DO THE JOBS THEY WERE ELECTED FOR.
It's wrong for the person asking for it.
It's wrong for the Senators agreeing to it.
No matter what party you belong to, it's WRONG.
If President Obama were to ask a future Democratic Senate to blow up a bill so that a Republican President gets the blame, Republicans would be freaking the fuck out, and rightfully so.
Do your jobs, Senators.
PASS THAT BILL.
This is a tough video to watch if you’re vulnerable right now
please don’t watch it
For everyone else this is the most important political video I’ve watched
It exposes DJT for who he is
👇🏾WATCH FROM BEGINNING TO END & RT TO SPREAD👇🏾
❤️❤️❤️This is one of the most profound videos I’ve filmed at Trump’s 3rd indictment in DC. As tears rolled down his cheeks. His father who was a WWII veteran (like my dad) told him “We gotta stop this guy”.
Great advice from Liam Neeson!
"They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love. Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday.
Someone who showed you how to love. It's the worst thing to ever happen to anyone.
My wife died unexpectedly. She brought me so much joy. She was my everything.
Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses.
Treat them well. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore.
What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last. Because, one day, it will be. Take chances and go live life.
Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday.
Don't take any moment for granted.”
Life is worth living.
Republicans talk about border encounters but vote AGAINST bills to help the problem. Why are people not tired be being lied to and deceived by republicans?
