i love the insane fervor over her endorsing biden, the most milquetoast (at best!) thing anyone could possibly do, when he's already been canonised by the DNC because he's 90 and stubborn and thinks he deserves another term because that's what the good guys get
it just makes my stomach turn, both in 2020 and now, when people act like this doddering establishment old man is some sort of exciting force to rally around. he's joe biden.
Fox claims they themselves are just an entertainment network, not news. Shouldn't they stay out of politics just like they want her to?
But hey, let’s ask Kid Rock what he thinks about national debt
Fuck republicunts
I'm not entirely sure I understand the republican strategy around Taylor Swift.
Like, doesn't harassing her for basically no reason only increase the likelihood that she does get involved in political battles, not reduce?
This just seems like another hair-brained, half thought through plan.
Nobody ever accused Republicans of being smart
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Conservatives say they think musicians should stay out of politics. The same conservatives celebrate Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Trace Adkins and any other piece of shit who loudly encourages their audience to vote for a seditious rapist.
It's almost like conservatives are just liars who are fully incapable of honesty on any topic.
Crap - I liked Trace Adkins music too.
Taylor Swift will be 35 years old before the inauguration. There is still time to sub her in as vice president.
Is there a requirement to be 35 years old for VP?
Yes, according to the 12th Amendment:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
It's the same reason why Obama couldn't be VP. He's ineligible because he's served two terms already. If you can't be President, you can't be Vice-President. And that makes sense, since the VP could become President at any time if something goes sideways.
A key duty of the VP is to become President if something happens to the President. It may not be a requirement, but it would cause the Speaker of the House, who might be from another party, to be the one who steps in.
You don't want that.
Says the channel that is the de facto D-List celebrity to deranged right wing pundit pipeline
I want to hear the arguments between swifty kids, and their shitty fox news parents.
That's rich coming from the network that's been fellating a reality tv star 24/7 for 8 years.
What's funny is that she hasn't endorsed anyone. But they keep raising such a stink on the mere thought that she might endorse Biden and have demanded that she doesn't voice her Biden endorsement far and wide to the point, now, it has become assumed by most that she does endorse him. If anyone does, in fact, give a damn about her endorsement, the wackos yelling on the right have made her de facto position a pro-Biden position. Exactly what they're complaining about. Now she doesn't even need to endorse him in order to basically endorse him. Dolts.
she hasn't endorsed anyone.
Well, she did endorse Biden in 2020. Don't see why she would have changed her mind one bit in 2024.>
She’s been speaking out against the Supreme Court killing Roe, and she’s shown that she can drive registration with young woman. And young women are swing left of center.
She doesn’t have to endorse anyone to terrify the right.
Your ideology is total shit when the mere suggestion that citizens should vote as they please is a threat to your existence. The GOP's days are numbered.
Unless they get away with suppressing the vote. Which they’ve been very successful at.
I don't know which is worse - Fox telling an artist to not be political or the NYT reporting that Fox is telling an artist not to be political.
I'm very, very tired of the news being the news. It's no longer about reporting events and ideas but generating content and ad revenue. We've been the frog in the pot for a while now. How much worse is it going to get?
They're all entertainers. I don't see the difference except Taylor Swift has a day job.
Taylor Swift is grabbing conservatives by their collective pussies and they don’t like it.
Yeah. Look what it did to Fox News. Turned them from a sack of shit to a treasonous sack of shit.
Why? Just because Fox News doesn’t broadcast anything vaguely affiliated with real world politics doesn’t mean others can’t talk about it.
But it's okay for a pillow salesman to be involved in politics?
And all the Megachurch (MAGA-Church?) priests…?
Or a "news company" to be /gestures wildly at Fox News/
What about kid rock? If you can call him a musician....
What about a reality TV celebrity like, oh I don't know, Donald Trump?
A movie star, like Raygun?
A bodybuilder, like Arnold?
A comedian, like Al Franken?
No, that one wasn't okay. Find a flimsy excuse to get him out.
Tbf the Governator was actually half decent.
In fact, we should just get rid of news outlets (Fox, NBC) entirely and only allow news agencies (AP News, Reuters) to report on news and politics.
in some places fox news isnt allowed to use the word "news" in the name, because they are, by their own definition "mostly editorial/entertainment"
they avoid the markets where they dont get to pretend to be news
This article discusses reactions from some Fox News commentators to the possibility of Taylor Swift endorsing President Biden in the 2024 election. Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and others on Fox News urged Swift not to get involved in politics. Some speculated that Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce was engineered by Democrats. Hannity drew a connection between Swift and George Soros, noting Soros' son helped fund the sale of Swift's song catalog. However, not all at Fox News were negative - sports analyst Jay Glazer praised Swift as a "genius" and saw nothing problematic about her or the NFL. In summary, several Fox News personalities strongly discouraged Swift from supporting Biden, while at least one commentator admired her musical talents.
