    They’re low-key making him more famous. I don’t like Bad Bunny’s music but now I like him for pissing off Trump. I might revisit his songs tbh.

      I’d literally never heard of him before the super bowl halftime/tpusa snowflake safe space alternative half time show. But guess who is listening now?

    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.

    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!!!

    Ogles, who is apparently the living embodiment of Smithers when he’s cornered by strippers

    That’s proper journalism.

      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.
