    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.

    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.

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

      Sonny Bono, Arnold, Glenn Jacobs, Reagan, Trump… I think I’m forgetting some.

      Republicans love voting for celebrities when they have the chance.

    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.

    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…

    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”.

      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.
