    GOP: So…govern today?

    Also GOP: Nah. Too hard.

    GOP: Open baseless investigation to make the stupids think we’re doing something of value?

    Also GOP: Bingo!!!

    Oh noes! Somebody danced provocatively on TV!

    Anyway… who are the men that were redacted out of the released Epstein files?

      Apparently bringing corpses from the 90s back who got famous singing about fucking children is ok, but some people with brown skin dancing provacatively is a bridge too far.

      Conservative logic.

    Kid Rock (whose song “Cool, Daddy Cool” features the lyrics “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage / See, some say that’s statutory / But I say it’s mandatory”)

    So Kid Rock regularly fucks little children. I expect his arrest any second, now.

      Really leaning into it. Why not, they see the president and his whole class get away with it, kill the witnesses and get it called suicide. Child rapers are king, everyone will emulate them, in this, in lying and cheating to steal, then in slandering their victims to justify cheating them. In filing abusive lawsuits to force people to defend themselves in court even when they aren’t in the wrong.

      We really couldn’t have picked a worse person for everyone to emulate.

    Are all republicans just genuinely dumb as a fucking brick?

    Maybe the central theme of a functional democracy should be education, because it seems to destroy conservative agendas (because the conservative agenda is based on idiocy, hate, and racism)

    “American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence,” Ogles said.

    Fuck all the way off you fucking illiterate dipshit. The best parts of “American culture” are and always have been mocking evil puritanical shitheads like you who really just hate art in general and people you don’t own.

    you should be banned from pretending to care about any morals when your god is mentioned in the Epstein files a million times.

    A new distraction from the Epstein Files, stealing Venezuelan oil, clearing Gaza to build the Trump Gaza Dubai, Paramilitary Death Squads roaming the streets and breaking out into spontaneous firing squads against innocent citizens, accepting bribes from Arab businessmen, building concentration camps around the country, stealing elections, losing EVERY court case, PEDOPHILES, etc.

    But by all means, let’s get to the bottom of this Bad Bunny scandal.

    I cannot stress how much these people should be made incompatible with leadership.

    A criminal investigation in a thing that was plainly televised?? At fucking worst, you check existing laws about obscenity. What is there to investigate?

    An unconscionable, baldfaced waste of time and resources for personal grievance.

      As a German, the first thing that came to my mind when reading this, was the term “Entartete Kunst”.

      This is what I was wondering. What exactly is there to investigate? I read the article and it doesn’t say. I saw talk about gyrations and crotch-grabbing though.

      It almost reads like some republicans felt a stirring in their loins and now they want an excuse to watch the show over and over again.
