    Hey Fox, I’m not a Taylor Swift fan at all, but I trust her infinitely more than your lying fascist bullshit network.

      She endorsed Biden last election, but that doesn’t mean they’re not going off the handle for no reason.

        They all do this. Pretty much all celebrities endorse the Democrat politicians because it looks better for them. It looks like they’re “just one of us!” When in fact, they are not. Taylor Swift was born into wealth, and does not need to worry about who’s President…it will never effect her. But by endorsing the side of the “poor” and “common working class”…she gets even more positive publicity…

          I don’t think so, and last time she said it because they asked her in an interview.

          TSwift is frankly a large enough celebrity that saying anything political could easily cost her millions of dollars, so while I do kinda wish she’d say things I agree with I also recognize that there’s really no incentive for her to do so.

    She hasn’t done or said anything political though? Is it just that she’s a vivacious person and the ghouls are thinking “fuck, she’s definitely not one of us”.

    Fantasy universe: Taylor Swift and Biden announce her support of his campaign and acceptance of the position of Vice President. Trump really finds out that he is not as popular as Taylor Swift.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Right-wing activists have indulged in baseless speculation that Ms. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — a kind of ur-American couple of football star and wholesome pop icon — is a contrivance engineered by Democrats, or perhaps the National Football League, to trick unsuspecting Americans into boosting Super Bowl ratings or voting for Mr. Biden in November.

    Swift flies on a private plane, “yet she constantly talks about climate change.” It was the sort of eco-scolding that rarely turns up on a cable network whose guests often voice skepticism about global warming.

    Swift said that Mr. Soros’s son, Alex, helped fund the sale of her song catalog to the producer Scooter Braun.

    Another “Hannity” guest, the Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt, told viewers not to dismiss the bizarre conspiracies about Ms.

    “Republicans haven’t won the Popular Vote in 20 years so now we’re trying the novel strategy of attacking one of the most beloved pop stars on the planet & … the NFL,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official and a co-host of “The View,” wrote on X.

    On Brian Kilmeade’s Saturday show, he asked the Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer about the Swift phenomenon.

      Make sure you’re actually registered, even if you think you already are. A lot of states have been “cleaning up” their voting registries .

          It’s not a census year (only on the 10s in the US) and I’ve been involved in politics for more than three decades and the federal census has never been used to remove anyone from the voter rolls anywhere I’ve been. The personal data is not publicly available for 70 years except as anonymized, abstracted data.

    Uhg. can you imagine standing in line waiting to vote, with the swifties all having their favorite songs on blast from the phones?

    never thought that would be a reason I’d appreciate vote-by-mail.

    (I’m mostly kidding… but yeah. not having to stand in line and deal with…uh… people… is nice.)

      Yeah, plus she’s actually, like, good at business. Conservatives would prefer the guy who managed to bankrupt a casino.

        Yeah, and he did it to himself. He had a successful casino going in wherever (I think Atlantic City). Since it was doing well, he thought that maybe he should open another one nearby. One casino lots of money means two casinos lots of money times two. The dip shit didn’t bother to run or listen to market research. Once he opened the second casino, they learned that the market was already saturated with casinos. A second casino doesn’t make more gamblers. Instead, he split the customers because his new casino was competing for customers from the first one. Both started to fail, so he had to close one. The business genius tanked his own business that was running successfully until then. Had he put a reasonable limit to his grandiosity, he would have been fine.

        He is truly delusional to the point that he thinks he controls objective reality. In other words, it isn’t what it is. It’s what he believes.

        I might be off on details, but this was the basic gist.

          Holy crap! Thanks for that - I never bothered to look into the specifics of the situation but that sounds like the hubristic business acumen I’d expect from his sort of megalomania.

            You’re welcome! The way the media reports on Trump is just so ridiculous to me, that I feel validated when I hear about the actual results of his business and policy decisions.

              I wish they would listen to his Art of the Deal ghostwriter. He’s made it clear over and over again that the concept of Trump as a good businessman is a total fabrication.
