    Here let me help you out.

    Yes, I’ve concluded the investigation.

    It was indeed a halftime show. Thank you for your time. Use this information as you will.

    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.

    Sure, let’s investigate a televised performance. Meanwhile, his 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

        He was waving the pro-independence Puerto Rican flag (light blue) and Ricky Martin was singing a song about the shit that happened in Hawaii after they got statehood… Is that naughty? Mm I liked it.

        (There was also a lot of twerking, but somehow I don’t think that’s the actual source of the complaints.)

    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.

        The Dems voted for statehood a long time ago. The Dems got issues, but supporting Puerto Rico isn’t one of them.

        I don’t think people realize just how racist our country has been towards Puerto Rico. The only reason they aren’t a state is purely conservative racism. They were fucking sterilizing their women up until the 70’s for Christ’s sake.

        Trying to blame their problems on the Democratic Party in the face of dehumanizing Republican racism has got to be one of the most tone deaf two-faced garbage takes I have ever seen.

          I think you missed the point of that part of the performance. Bb was not waving the flag for statehood, he was waving the light blue flag for an independent Puerto Rico… Just after Ricky Martin sang a song about how Hawaii got screwed by statehood and they don’t want that to happen in Puerto Rico (from DTmF).

          It’s not about statehood. It’s about separating from the United States. Totally anti-colonial with all that sugar cane, too.

            If some wealthy people want to push for independence more power to them. Honestly, they should be separated and independent from the US after a payment of a couple of trillion dollars of reparations, of course.

            I would like to point out that unless they plan on creating a new form of government they will just fall neatly into the fascist trap the rest of the world has fallen in. I don’t think wealthy pop icons are going to slit their own throats.

            So it really isn’t about anti-colonial at this point as it is about anti-corporations. We need to move our mindset beyond the 20th century if we ever expect to break free as a people.

              Just responding to the last part: I’d say anti-colonial basically is anti-corporate. Look at the Dutch East India Company.

                Fair enough. I just think it is important to point out we are transitioning into a post-nation world ran by a corporatocracy which is the evolution of the fascist corporatism.

                I am fond of saying no nation on this planet deserves the human race. Perhaps one will be someday.

        The thing I agree with is that the ruling party is really the billionaires.

        One might have notice that Apple’s half time show? Apple, Microsoft, Google, open AI, Tweeter, Facebook, TicToc. All these companies are run by evil pigs that need to be jailed for one reason or another. The most important reason being…how do you get paid a billion while others barely are able to afford food, shelter and clothes?

    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.

    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”…

      How many babies do you think he’s eaten on Epstein’s island?

      I can only assume he cares about a singer/dancer to distract from the baby eating billionaires scandal.

    claimed that it featured “explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air” and that the singer’s mostly Spanish-language lyrics “openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.”

    Stop it !!! … I already bought my ticket ok ??! it just so happens that I’m super into women gyrating provocatively 😂 lord …give me the strength to open a strip bar and advertise it as such “HERE : WOMEN GYRATING PROVOCATIVELY”

    (emphasis mine 😂)
