    Is “breaks silence” the “slams” equivalent in headline writing when someone gives an opinion?

      When Republicans don’t listen to famous (relatives of) Republicans about who to vote for, because they want the country to get worse really quickly under a volatile idiot who has openly wished violence on anybody who opposes him… things escalated.

    I’m wondering, why, 7 days out from utter disaster, wouldn’t Taylor Swift get on a fucking stage with Kamala Harris, other than self preservation. Are the stakes not high enough? I mean, she endorsed Kamala, but, come on. It’s a big ask, but, doesn’t Taylor have enough fuck you money to be alright either way? We are headed for apocalyptic decimation if Trump wins again. Turn to the end of the Christian book or Revelation, it’s gonna be worse than that.

    The former first daughter

    Is this really a thing? I know about “First Lady” and I think that’s fine, but “first daughter”? That’s kinda whack.

      It’s a commonly used term. The President’s family is the First Family. All children are the First Son/First Daughter even if there are several siblings. “First Lady” isn’t an official term; it’s not mentioned in the Constitution as an actual position but traditionally it is a thing.

        The first time I heard this term, I was so confused both as a young kid and as a child of immigrants (at that time, English was not my first language).

        I couldn’t understand why they were first and then when another president came in they were first again.

          “First Grandchild” has been used previously (mostly tabloids), but I think the “first” term is usually limited to immediate family

    I just love how Sorkin took control of the campaign right after it did the one good thing it’s done (Walz). For all of our sakes I hope it works.
