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

    That’s proper journalism.

    2. USA Today needs to either use a better model or just get rid of the AI-generated key point summary.

    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.

    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.

      Don’t forget how incredibly pro freedom of speach they are and how wildly cancel culture is solely a problem on the left. /S

        For them, cancel culture is on the left, because nothing they try to cancel sticks. Who have they successfully cancelled?

        Nobody cares what they think. They’re so Sociopathic and narcissistic as a group, that they don’t even care what other MAGAs think. They can’t even turn Charlie Kirk into a real martyr, they’re just using his Turning Point operation as a grift now, which is what’s really important to them.

    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?
