Why is Trump supporters so afraid or complaining about Taylor Swift when she mobilizes her supporters (young voters) to register to vote ??? --------- Below video: Jen Psaki breaks down the MAGA meltdown over Taylor Swift. Psaki says, "For an increasingly shocking number of folks on the right, there is always a mastermind. There is always some larger, deep state, big institution behind the curtain keeping conservatives and Donald Trump down. They’ll stare directly at conspiracy, but never in the mirror.” According to the results of a survey conducted in the United States in October 2023, about 33 percent of respondents aged 30 to 44 years old stated that they considered themselves Taylor Swift fans. More than one in 10 survey respondents aged 65 years or older stated the same. Dec 12, 2023 I'm not a fan of hers and I typically change the radio when I hear one of her songs.

https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/01/30/police-attacked-migrant-shelter-times-square/ Migrants pummel NYPD cops outside Times Square shelter A group of migrants pummeled NYPD officers attempting to make an arrest outside a shelter in Times Square, police and sources said Tuesday. Two officers and a lieutenant from the NYPD’s Midtown South Precinct approached the group of men outside a migrant shelter on W. 42nd St. near Seventh Ave. around 8:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said. The incident seemed likely to raise the temperature of the already heated debate surrounding the migrant crisis, in which more than 100,000 migrants came to the city last year. Four of the suspects were released following arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court. The officers had been trying to break up the disorderly crowd outside the Candler Building, where the city announced the opening of a mega-shelter in March. When the cops attempted to put one of the men under arrest, multiple people attacked, according to authorities. The men kicked and punched the officers in the head and body, video released by police shows. The lieutenant suffered a cut to his face during the melee. He was treated on the scene along with his colleagues, according to cops. Two 19-year-old men, a 24-year-old man and a 21-year-old man were arrested at the scene. All were charged with assault on a police officer. The officers were trying to break up the disorderly crowd and when they attempted to put one of the men under arrest, multiple people attacked the officers. (NYPD) The men live at migrant shelters in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, police sources said. About 67,000 migrants total are in the city’s care. The city’s largest cop union decried the release of the alleged attackers following their arraignment. “Attacks on police officers are becoming an epidemic, and the reason is [the] revolving door we’re seeing in cases like this one,” Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association, said in a statement. “It is impossible for police officers to deal effectively with crime and disorder if the justice system can’t or won’t protect us while we do that work.” Police are still searching for five other men involved in the brawl. They released photos of the wanted men in the hopes someone may recognize them. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. DCPI NYPD released photos of suspects wanted in the attack. The shelter at the Candler Building has capacity for hundreds of migrants, officials indicated last spring. The previously vacant site has been providing food and services including health care, they said. The shelter there was one of the first where adult migrants received 30-day notices informing them they had to get out. That was one of many controversial policy adjustments from the Adams administration as the city has struggled to handle the new arrivals. The city has also begun imposing an 11 p.m. curfew at some shelters, with the mayor’s office saying the move was meant to boost health and safety. Among a handful of violent incidents linked to migrants, six were arrested and two cops were injured in a brawl that broke out when officers confiscated scooters in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in September.
not so hot take: Telegraphing the strikes was dumb. Every neocon and lib knew we would retaliate but this just has shades of "Hey Vlad, I'm going to bomb your air strip" that Donald did. Keeping it outside of Iran would've sent enough messaging to Iran that it wasn't escalatory:
