    Bad Bunny lives rent free in Republicans heads. I really don’t get it, them making a big deal out of it is only making them look stupider tbqh. And they don’t need that, they’re already stupid enough. They might jump the stupid shark at this rate.

      It’s not as dumb as it sounds. They make a celebrity who said a few anti colonial lines their enemy to get you riled up so you can forget the Democrats on the other half of the ruling class is fully supportive of and enthusiastic about genocidal colonialism.

      They get their side excited, and pacify you from seeing the real enemy (the capitalist ruling class) by pretending to be the only villains.

      Don’t take the bait, they win. Democrats don’t support a free Puerto Rico either, they support colonizing it and privatizing all its resources, they just don’t say it loud and proud.

    For you MAGAs playing at home, let’s check the scoreboard:

    • America First, no more foreign entanglements: That’s a No.

    • Epstein Files: Still waiting for the good stuff.

    • Lower prices on Day 1: It’s past Day 365, and prices are still rising, but it’s a Democrat Hoax.

    • Deport Criminals: Includes children, veterans, innocent people, and even citizens.

    • Make America Safer: Death Squads patrolling the streets and breaking out into spontaneous firing squads against innocent citizens.

    So why are you still in? Is it the mind-boggling corruption? The Treason? The casual racism? The virtuosic incompetence? The manic middle of the night tweetstorms? The pants-shitting press conferences?

    I’ll bet it’s the Pedophilia. The one thing MAGA can be counted on is to cover the crimes of pedophiles.

    That’s why ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles.

    Bad Bunny: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” Republicana: “INVESTIGATE THIS DEGENERATE”

    Yeah, he was the guy who kept singing about how he likes 'em underage, right?

    … Wait, no? That was the other guy? Why isn’t Andy Ogles looking into that, instead?

    (We all know why. Not only were those female dancers hot, they looked like they were having a great time, and Republicans can’t have that…)

    This is who you voted for, assholes of Tennessee. A performer who did a performance consistent with what they’ve always done, and this dude is willing to weaponize the United States government to go after this fucking entertainer because they don’t like their content! You may not admit it, but that’s not okay, and it’s not “small government”…

    I’m pretty sure early Elvis was more sexually explicit than that show.

    The halftime show artist is never my cup of tea and I’ll probably never listen to Bad Bunny again but I thought it was a great show. Lots of variation in the songs which were all quite fun, and he and Gaga had great chemistry.

    It’s a good thing the Republicans aren’t actually trying to govern. They would never have time for this kind of ridiculous ideological theater if they had jobs.

    If you had told the Continental Congress that their successors would eventually be investigating half-time shows they would have surrendered to King George.

    Investigate what? Why it was cool?

    This is just your typical Republican made up bullshit to make their base think something bad happened.

    Nothing bad happened

    Sure, let’s investigate a televised performance. Meanwhile, my party is going to keep sticking its fingers in its ears and yelling, nah nah nah nah nah regarding the Epstein files.

    They’ll protect sexually explicit content if it involves children. GOP => Guardians of Pedophiles

    Rep. Andy Ogles (R, Tenn.) posted on X on Monday evening a letter addressed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee in which he called for an immediate inquiry into the National Football League and broadcaster NBCUniversal over their “prior knowledge, review, and approval” of what he alleged to be “a performance dominated by sexually explicit lyrical themes and suggestive choreography.”

    Oh yeah. Based on the phrasing… This is projection.

    Check this guy’s laptop.

    women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air”

    Oh no! Did Bad Bunny steal one of Michael Jackson’s signature moves? Did his dancers dance like Shakira or Jennifer Lopez? Has this guy ever seen a Superbowl halftime show?

      It doesn’t matter. This is all just vice signaling. They just need to tell their base how much of a racist asshole they are. What actually happened, what they said, and what effect their actions could achieve aren’t the point.
