But it’s okay for a pillow salesman to be involved in politics?
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?
Tbf the Governator was actually half decent.
A comedian, like Al Franken?
A wrestler, like Jesse Ventura?
Or another singer like Sonny Bono?
No, that one wasn’t okay. Find a flimsy excuse to get him out.

SOMEBODY MAKE SOME MOTHER FUCK’N NOISE
Please clap
Hahahaha, fucking love that show. Russ Hannamen reminds me of Musk too.
Musician in the same way he is a trailer trash redneck
And all the Megachurch (MAGA-Church?) priests…?
Or a “news company” to be /gestures wildly at Fox News/
Oooh… they SCARED!
And to this day she has yet to say anything pro democrat or pro-republican. That’s the funniest part.
Well, telling people to vote is pretty anti-conservative.
Well, telling everyone to vote is anti conservative.
Voting has always been a large part of the Republican pathos… But they only promote voting on channels reaching Republican ears. They also actively legislate voter suppression laws that effect primarily Democratic voters.
Also, the Chiefs are partly owned and ran by a guy that has made several donations to the Republican party. Not a lot of money over all, but consistently Republican.
I wish the Democratic party was as competent as these nutjobs think they are. I imagine the country would be in a much better place.
I believe the Chiefs are owned by one of the oldest families in football (Hunts). They were well-regarded generally (as good for football), but I would imagine the generational owners lean to the right as they are protecting family fortunes from the rabble.
Ah so that’s why they’re freaking the fuck out.
She endorsed Biden in 2020
Yep, turns out i was wrong. Never heard that honestly
She’s recommended against candidates as well.
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’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.
Very true. But look at their progression (decent into madness) over the last 30 years. They’re getting more desperate every election cycle. Their insane gerrymandering is being thrown out in a lot of cases. Their suppression laws are getting overturned more often. But let’s be clear, that’s not because our system is cracking down on them; they’re so far gone even our broken system is stopping them. They can’t win without extreme measures. But watch out, the eruption of violence that is their death knell will be coming soon.
It’s more than that if you watch her documentary. She is begging her handlers to speak out while they are explaining they are afraid for her safety.
We have a situation where even wealthy people are afraid to speak their mind for fear of death. This is beyond unacceptable.
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 might like having less righta, ya never know
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.
Next thing you know they will start running famous hollywood actors and reality TV stars for office.
Crap - I liked Trace Adkins music too.
Wait until the swifties think she is in danger.
Let’s be real, with as bat shit crazy as these cultists are, she probably is.
MAGAts vs. Swifties 2024, I’d pay to watch that.
Start making the popcorn because it seems to me like that’s where this is heading.
It is hilarious how terrified Republicans are of Taylor Swift.
For people who loathe being told what to do, they sure do like telling other people what to do.
Do unto others
Before they do unto you. -conservatives
GOP voters are literally afraid of everything, that’s their whole world view. They’re afraid of immigrants looking for asylum, people who’ve left their home out of desperation. They’re afraid of transgender folks, who already face all sorts of discrimination in their personal lives. The GOP is afraid of the world and so they punch down on whoever they see as weakest to make themselves feel better about themselves.
They’re afraid she will encourage more people to vote. The more people who vote, the harder it is for them to game the system. That’s why they pass voter suppression laws constantly.
Fox claims they themselves are just an entertainment network, not news. Shouldn’t they stay out of politics just like they want her to?
They are only an entertainment network in the courtroom.
In the hearts and minds of their viewers, they are the very arbiter of Truth.
Fox news has literally won lawsuits on the pretense that their content isn’t news and is entertainment and no reasonable person would take it seriously.
Didn’t know that. Had to look it up.
Carlson claimed that McDougal attempted to extort money from Trump—though she never asked Trump for money or even approached him. McDougal sued, and in response Fox’s legal team argued that his comments “cannot reasonably be interpreted as facts.”
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil—district judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York—heard the case and agreed, finding that “given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statements he makes” and that “this overheated rhetoric is precisely the kind of pitched commentary that one expects when tuning in to talk shows like Tucker Carlson Tonight, with pundits debating the latest political controversies.”
“The Court concludes that the statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate, and, as such, are not actionable as defamation,” wrote Vyskocil in her ruling.
Carlson isn’t the only opinion show host to win a lawsuit with such a defense: David Folkenflik of NPR noted that Rachel Maddow’s lawyers used a similar argument to convince a judge to dismiss a libel lawsuit brought by One America News Network. The judge ruled that Maddow’s comments about an OANN reporter being “on the payroll for the Kremlin” could reasonably be understood to be opinion.
But while Fox’s lawyers argued Carlson’s opinion show should not be taken for news, Fox hasn’t argued that all of its content is “entertainment” as Occupy Democrats claims. Fox News is currently facing a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, which alleges that Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election promoted baseless conspiracy theories about Dominion voting machines. While the argument that some of the coverage was opinion was part of the Fox legal defense, the network’s attorneys put forth the argument that sharing Dominion conspiracy theories was part of “neutral reportage” of allegations made by public figures and a “fair report” of legal proceedings.
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!
Something something Streisand effect?
Taylor Swift to Fox News: “Don’t call yourself a news outlet!”
Why? Just because Fox News doesn’t broadcast anything vaguely affiliated with real world politics doesn’t mean others can’t talk about it.
That’s rich coming from the network that’s been fellating a reality tv star 24/7 for 8 years.
Is that a threat?
They certainly feel threatened
They said- while hitching their wagon to a failed reality TV personality.
I think that saying he has personality is stretching the definition a bit too far.
