America KEEPS VOTING FOR THIS BULLSH*T..."House Republicans launch BAD BUNNY PROBE."

I blame the motherfucking IGNORANT AMERICAN VOTERS. They keep electing and re-electing these assholes while they lose healthcare, can't afford food, and drive over roads riddled with potholes ( "INFRASTRUCURE WEEK" ).

Failure to learn anything in school, and anything useful from their parents seems to be a common thread.
Even their university careers, if they defied all odds and managed to land there, seem to have been devoid of meaningful interactions with anyone who looks or thinks differently from them.
The ignorance and lack of empathy should surely be something that could be tested for at multiple stages, and corrected as early as possible - but that would be called indoctrination of wokeness today.
We're doomed.

Rep. Andy Ogles
@RepOgles

The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air.

And if that weren't outrageous enough, the performance's lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways.

That is why I am requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC immediately for their prior knowledge, deliberate approval, and facilitation of this indecent broadcast. American culture will not be mocked or corrupted without consequence.

... must have missed all the prime time commercials a few years ago that featured a pudgy actor twerking. These sniveling shitheads are congenitally incapable of actually governing like responsible adults, so they pull this kind of nonsense out of their nether portals and think they are, in some sick way, innately superior. Well, they may very well be superior to the room-temperature IQs that were stupid enough to vote for them, but the majority of Americans find their antics shameless and disgusting. And this clown, Ogles, leads the pack of white trash wastes of skin. Tennessee's 5th District must be SO proud.

12. Here's an excerpt from Time:
Tue Feb 10, 2026, 12:11 PM
Feb 2026

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was divisive before it even started, with many conservatives criticizing the Puerto Rican singer’s political outspokenness, including condemning Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week at the Grammy Awards, where he took home the prize for album of the year.

But while many fans lauded the Latin hitmaker’s 13-minute set on Sunday, despite President Donald Trump calling it “absolutely terrible” and “an affront to the Greatness of America,” one Republican critic is taking his offense to another level.

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.”

In his post, Ogles called the halftime show “pure smut” and 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.”

because they know their base won't Google the English translation of Bad Bunny's lyrics, they'll just take whatever they're told at face value. It's just another sparkly ball to distract the public from the Epstein files.

I didn't know what twerking was until I saw it on tv a few decades ago.

I guess I never thought that there would be another probe over the fooking halftime show that the magas weren't even suppose to watch because reasons.

Now the White Supremacists are investigating the show they pinky swore they wouldn't watch because reasons, and they had tpusa and kid rock for christsakes.

I watched that Super Bowl show and didn't even notice it at the time (and it only lasted for a micro second). Neither did anyone else at the Super Bowl party I was at. But someone did and they skewed it completely out of proportion.

My partner commented that the real reason for the outrage was that a bunch of the commercials that year were for ED products and they just didn't want the competition. It was pretty hypocritical of people to complain about one but not the other!
