Dude... not nice. maybe she was referencing her sexual assault by David mueller, his lawsuit against her, her countersuing ( and winning), plus the ignominy that it entailed. as to political opinion... she’s been included in the list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and the 100 most powerful women in the world.... so I’m thinking her opinion matters a good deal, to a lot of people.

Why on earth would a singer's views be of any more importance than those of (for example) a car mechanic's or a painter and decorator? The latter two would probably have far more knowledge of ordinary everyday life than a rich person. Lmao.... What? You mean stars like Ronald Reagan. Arni. Clint. Trump yep... large egos etc etc your last sentence is kinda wacky.... if the latter two have more knowledge than a rich person, then why do you elect rich people?

Next, Trump will be stating that she can't sing, that she's ugly and her career is failing. Standard Trump procedure for anyone who does not support him. Late word is Taylor Swift has had quite an impact with her tens of millions of followers. Her particular demographic is likely to trigger a substantial blue wave. It may be quantity versus quality but whatever it takes to dump trump, I'm all for it Swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srinivas Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Taylor Swift will recover some votes. Better than that Kathy Griffin type debacles. lost a lot of voters with that one. Now only if HRC can keep quiet the dems have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Vote.org saw [Tennessee] registrations spike specifically since Taylor's post,' Guthrie said. The website registered 5,183 new voters in the state so far this month, with Guthrie confirming 2,144 of which were in the last 36 hours alone. That number is a big increase from the 2,811 new Tennessee voter registrations in all of September and the 951 in August." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Having your vote influenced by a pop star should get you suspended from voting until you decide to grow up.

You're talking about DT, right? ???? And it's all these things (and more) that make her a social media star, and that is what makes her a notable influence. Girls 18-25 who are busy with gossip and selfies being motivated by stories like the naughty, lying frat boy who was just installed in SCOTUS. Sounds like this could bolster blue state turnout. Too bad she didn't do it a week ago, before the voter registration deadlines came up. Empty headed people doing whatever they are told by celebrities? Yeah, 35% of Americans worship an orange-colored 70+ year old tv personality with a goofy hairdo who will say ANYTHING to get a vote. Coming attractions for the next few weeks: defamation of this girl, including vids of her submitting to group sex, sex with animals, you name it, and even more lurid stories. Reports of her being George Soro's mistress. Lesbian affair with (insert name of non-supporter of DT here). How she is a Muslim, and belongs to a terrorist cell. And of course, the faithful at the DT love rallies chanting "lock her up." And "no one likes her." The girl is no idiot, she has been more or less in control of her career from the beginning, not just another popstar dependent on their manager (like Bieber). She knew what she would get, and I commend her bravery. But on the other hand this could count as yet another social media headline grab to promote herself. And of course if she did the same thing but favored the GOP, her biggest detractors would be praising her on high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those paying guests at the inauguration were Russians. He sure has a lot of them in his social circle. ???? In the backlog of scandals involving this character is the amount of $$ the inauguration committee collected versus the amount spent -- the gap is huge, and unaccounted for. My guess is it involves money laundering. Maybe Mueller is on it, if and when he ever reports... DT has been paying people all along, from that first day he announced his candidacy those people cheering his were paid to. Noo Yawkas hate him, started long before June 2015.

That happened in Vancouver, Washington (not to be confused with the one in BC), which is right across the river from Portland OR. Very big, and notorious, Antifa sentiment in the Portland area. Search the news sites for some impressive demonstration confrontations. Election night people swarmed onto the freeways, seemed like everyone in town from 17 to 40 was out there. On the other hand there are carloads of young guys who drive around harassing anyone driving a vehicle with any sort of anti-DT indicator; a few ugly incidents in the press if you care to look it up. Oregon has 36 counties, and only 7 or so went blue in 2016. I'm in that area now. I've had the idea of getting melted chocolate and smearing it on the hateful bumper stickers etc, which many will assume is doo-doo. Yeah. it's looks disgusting but it's chocolate, Abbie Hoffman would be proud. I probably won't do it though, I'm too old to risk jail. These people are still stirred up about HRC, the living anti-christ. I've tried to talk to a few on occasion, but it just makes it worse, you wouldn't believe how these people believe that all gov't powers (like the FBI) are conspiring against their poor orange messiah. Most of their part of the conversation is directly relaying crap from Fox News. Hook, line and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
