Taylor S & the civilian-industrial complex
BB: They're winning by a mile, and then some.
GG: Who? The Democrats? The Republicans?
BB: The heck with those donkeys and elephants! I'm talking about ET and TOI and those Indian presswallas who are beating us hands down, thanks to the electoral advantage they've got.

BB: Great idea! A conspiracy theory should be about someone who's the biggest buzzword.
GG: How about that Taylor Swift, who's got more buzz surrounding her than a swarm of bees on ecstasy?

Malaysia and Singapore have got into a spat because the latter signed a contract with her that doesn't permit any neighbouring country to hold a Swift concert when she does her Singapore gig.
GG: So, how about we spread the word that Pentagon is employing Taylor in a psy-op ploy to trump Trump and make the other fella a shoo-in? Or considering Pentagon's dirty tricks department's
