The prospect of the pop megastar endorsing President Biden in the 2024 election has irked conservative stars on the cable network.

Its a gift link, so shouldn’t be a paywall :)

      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.

      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.

    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.

    Why are they allowed to give their opinion on politics but she isn’t? Why are they qualified and not her?

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

    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.

        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.

      If they’re lucky it’ll only be a few, and honestly at this point these prophesors (lol) have probably fulfilled themselves by now.

      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.

    Taylor Swift to Fox News: “Don’t get involved in journalism…oh wait”

    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”.
