    I see Kendrick Lamar got the last helicopter out of Saigon.

    It’s gonna be more shit like this going forward. I don’t know who in their right mind would agree to do a half-time show with the current state the country is in. It’s like performing for the fuhrer in 1939.

    Never heard of this guy until he hosted SNL. He was great and has a very good sense of humour. I liked him. Then, very recently, he showed up in Happy Gilmore 2 and again, he was great! I don’t listen to new music anymore so I can’t comment on that (I’m old and ignorant).

    They have to face so many disappointments lately. Several shooters that were not queer black illegal aliens, ICE removing their cheapest slaves employees, and now no country singer for the halftime show.

    That is more than those snowflakes can stand.

      I’ve always found a great way to deal with disappointment is to just eat razor blades dipped medical waste until the disappointment fades away. Hopefully they can give it a shot and it works for them too.

    So Bad Bunny cancels his US tour dates because of what is happening to immigrants, but then takes a fat check to do the halftime show?

      Yeah. He canceled his tour because ICE would arrest his fans. That isn’t an issue at the Superbowl.

      It’s funny to see people acting like he’s a hypocrite because they don’t understand what’s going on.

        Way more afraid of the always naked guy that doesn’t have running water and shits in his front yard outhouse all winter than I am of the rich fucks with fancy gates and threatening signs on them: “PRIVATE PROPERTY. FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT.”

      Pretty much always.

      The media continually paint them as having a meltdown, but in reality it’s their state of being; the reactionary hate is where they live.

      If you hear “<famous person x> does <y> and the far right say they’re OK with that….” be VERY concerned about whatever <y> was.

        Our dumb fuck president didn’t know he was the president of Puerto Rico last time. I think most of them don’t even know it exists to have an opinion on them being American or not.

      They’re Americans in the same way India and ireland were British in the 1800s. Fingers crossed they act more like the Irish resistors.

        You do know that Puerto Rico has voted to stay, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_political_status_for_Puerto_Rico

        They’re Americans in the way that they’re fully enfranchised US citizens in every way.

        Up until the 1960s they had the same legal status as residents of Washington DC. The only reason it hasn’t changed is because they’ve consistently asked for it not to.

        Are you hoping Puerto Rican terrorists killing mainlanders will cause Puerto Ricans to vote for independence?

          I mean, the greatest hope would be that only a certain type of political bent would die, but there are already people dying due to fascists. We aren’t getting out of this without resisting.
