    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 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.

    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.)

    LOL. Fuck off, Fox. She will do what she wants to do because she’s a woman capable of making her own decisions. Not that you would ever understand or appreciate.

    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.
