It can work like apple marketing used to get some good-looking kids using it in ads and make it cool and trendy, the fact it does something cool and useful makes the deal and kids line up outside stores for the latest gizmo. The future belongs to the young, more so than the old, they have to live in it and old people should not be locking in a future in which they will be dead.It wouldn't be the first "Youth Movement"
Sure is time for one though.
In the case of Swift, she is only voicing the discontent and concern that is already there among young women in particular, her fans are not hard to convince with logic and facts either, more than I can say about Trump's. They are at least voting in their own interests, something else you can't say about most republicans who screw themselves at the polls by voting for grifters.
It is interesting to note a strong majority of democrats want Menendez to resign from the senate, only democrats on the ethics committee are abstaining for obvious reasons of prejudicing the case. Not a single republican senator is demanding his resignation for corruption and bribery, isn't that interesting?

Bevis and Butthead get evicted after daddy gets sued for tax fraud, they all live in their businesses. They can no longer be in business in NY, so the properties are put in the custody of a receiver and will be sold at action eventually or turned over the creditors. I have a feeling state or federal accommodations will be found for these two eventually, so long term housing shouldn't be an issue.

It is a serious abuse of power and a reason why it is so hard to bring the guilty to account, it is also unethical and immoral. Trump is driving this the base still dances to his tune and America's morons are at his command, he will have the GOP jumping through rings of fire before the feds lock him up. He will be going down in court right in the middle of their primaries and could be disqualified before the primaries. It won't go well for the GOP and whoever wins the nomination if he is disqualified IMO, he will attack the republican nominee who stole the nomination from him. He might be in prison by election day or even 6 months before it and then he will be muzzled. We will hear nothing from him except from visitors like Kevin and MTG, who will make the pilgrimage to the oracle of wisdom in the big house weekly. Visiting Donald freshly in a cage dressed in orange would be quite the experience, GET ME OUTTA HERE!
That might happen in May or June of 24 a disqualified Donald in prison or waiting in custody to go there, so whatever he has to say about the general election won't be said to the public.It is hard to imagine the judges sentencing his coconspirators and co defendants to long prison terms and giving the kingpin Donald house arrest. We will know what the sentences are, for the two lawyers who are early trial defendants in Georgia, after the new year, so will Donald.

GOP blames looming shutdown on 21 Republican holdouts
House Republicans are letting loose with criticism of their GOP colleagues who voted against the conference’s short-term funding bill with just a day and a half until a government shutdown.
“There are 21 Republicans who just voted to defund the United States military and keep the border open,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.). “They need to be called out by name. I mean, this is not a Republican shutdown. This is a shutdown — if we don’t get this done soon — that is caused by 21 individual members of the Republican conference.”
The failed bill would have extended funding until Oct. 31 with spending cuts and included a swath of border policy changes, and was intended to give the House GOP leverage ahead of negotiations with the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House.
But with the failure of the bill, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unwilling to bring up a Senate continuing resolution, a shutdown looks likelier than ever.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), a moderate, placed the blame for the looming shutdown directly on Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), one of the most prominent opponents to the stopgap who has also been threatening to vote to remove McCarthy.
“Unfortunately, a handful of people, and in particular a party of one — Matt Gaetz — have chosen to put his own agenda, his own personal agenda, above all else,” Lawler said.
“There’s only one person to blame for any potential government shutdown, and that’s Matt Gaetz,” Lawler continued. “He’s not a conservative Republican. He’s a charlatan. And as far as I’m concerned, when you’re working with Democrats to try to vacate the speaker, you’re a joke. This needs to come to an end.”
Gaetz earlier Friday denied a report he was talking to Democrats about an effort to oust McCarthy.
“I’m not doing that. That’s false,” Gaetz said.
Gaetz responded to Lawler’s comment on Rep. Andy Biggs’s podcast.
“I’ll get my blanket and curl up in the corner and, you know, call my therapist and see how to work through all of the hurt feelings,” he quipped.
Lawler, though, is not alone in specifically calling out Gaetz.
“EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT just joined Matt Gaetz and MTG for open borders and a closed government,” Rep. John James (R-Mich.) posted on X. “Democrats and the Clown Caucus care more about their fundraising goals than America’s wellbeing.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), one of the holdouts, echoed concerns from the others about Congress often extending funding through continuing resolutions rather than passing regular appropriations bills on time.
“I don’t think up to the deadline pressure produces good results and decades of America last policies and $33 Trillion dollars in debt is proof that Washington’s same old tricks just don’t work,” Greene posted on X.
Shortly after the failed stopgap, House Republican leaders sent out notice that there would be votes on Saturday. It is not yet clear what they will vote on.
