Its a gift link, so shouldn’t be a paywall :)
For people who hate being told what to do, they sure love telling people what to do.
They love telling women what to do.
They hate women telling others what to do.
They always say this stuff to liberal celebrities, but invite Ted Nugent and other absolute POS conservatives on
Sonny Bono, Arnold, Glenn Jacobs, Reagan, Trump… I think I’m forgetting some.
Republicans love voting for celebrities when they have the chance.
Charleton Heston, Kelsey Grammar, Scott Baio, Clint Eastwood, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent…
I was limiting it to elected officials.
Fair enough.
You were right with Eastwood.
Schwarzenegger…
Oh duh you said Arnold, never mind.
I, for one, am keenly interested in Kid Rock’s opinion on the role of central banking in a post-pandemic economy. /s
And I’m looking forward to Fox bringing him on to talk about why Taylor Swift shouldn’t give her political opinions.
Vote.gov is your place to sign up to vote.
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 a census year and you can be unregistered if you don’t respond in a timely fashion.wrong on all counts.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.
EDIT: I did double-check myself and yeah, the Fed census has no impact on voter rolls. There are some places that do a city/town census - especially in Massachusetts - where you can be marked as “inactive” if you don’t complete a local census. You can still cast a ballot and are still on the rolls, but it will require some assertion that you still live in the same residence. But that’s a pretty limited edge case.
Thanks for checking. I’m in MA and read that on my town census, but obviously misread it. My bad.
Thanks. Checked a few days ago. I had been kicked off the roles 10+ years ago, never again.
Let me get this straight, you think that Taylor Swift, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in the world, is secretly a liberal, who spends her nights fucking an NFL star, and your plan is to intimidate this person?
Good luck.
I read that in Morgan Freeman’s voice and didn’t even know why until the end.
I mean seriously, she’s not qualified like a reality tv con man, to be involved in politics!
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.
Who also failed to sell red meat and alcohol to Americans.
Wish they had this same attitude towards Ted “fucks pre teens” Nugent
Or the former Apprentice reality TV star
“Star” is going a little to far, boated host seems more accurate
Did Ted and Don Henley ever preform together?
And Kid Rock. And Gene Simmons.
Why are they allowed to give their opinion on politics but she isn’t? Why are they qualified and not her?
They are both in the entertainment industry. Neither are qualified
Why does being an entertainer disqualify you from expressing a political opinion?
No First Amendment rights for her, that’s why.
She’s liberal, and a successful woman. Their two greatest fears
Hey Fox, I’m not a Taylor Swift fan at all, but I trust her infinitely more than your lying fascist bullshit network.
Pretty fucking rich that their chosen savior is a reality TV star.
And before that, the darling of the GOP was former actor Ronald Reagan…
Damn it. Thats a really good point.
Yeah, but their game show host has an R next to his name.
IOKIYAR.
Taylor Swift is absolutely not the person that the GOP wants saying “Hold my beer and watch this…”. If they pissed her off enough to motivate her to get political, she absolutely has the influence and resources to register a few thousand new Democrat Swifties.
A few thousand seems pretty small
If I remember the statistic correctly, 30,000 new registrants within the first hour after she posted about registering to vote.
Even if we assume a rate of decay, that is pretty significant.
Then its at least 10 of thousands possibly more!
If they’re lucky it’ll only be a few, and honestly at this point these prophesors (lol) have probably fulfilled themselves by now.
She’s also not a church, and short of any electioneering, this would be completely legal to do.
Taylor Swift to Fox News: “Don’t get involved in journalism…oh wait”
Don’t worry, Fox hasn’t engaged in journalism in years.
They are terrified of her influence.
This has less to do with Swift and more to do with Fox’s decades long strategy to keep misogynists angry with successful women and engaged with Fox news.
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”.

I kinda think that’s not what they referring to. Because it’s 6 years later.
She did endorse the Democrat running for Senate in Tennessee in 2018, so they’re not wrong
Her endorsements seem to have been relatively quiet so far.
That may not be the case this time, thanks to Fox.
Fox Corp.'s $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems says that Fox should stop libeling. There are plenty of other lawsuits to point out that say the same thing.
If what Fox claimed were true, they would have won the lawsuit. If what Fox claimed were not provably, knowingly lies, Fox would have won.
I always side with the person who speaks truth, who fights lies.
Or else what, exactly?
