Kind of like MAQA yahoos watching Kid Pedo or rappers.

It's too easy to turn the mirror on MAQA whining.

Even Puerto Ricans were embarrassed at the Bad Bunny

comment:
"I saw the show and, although I already knew what I was expecting to see before watching it, nothing compares to the Super Bowls of the past. Honestly, if that is the number one voice in the world, it’s a joke; it doesn’t reflect anything about us. It was pure image: women all around, sexualization, foul language, nothing romantic. Quite a reflection of the chaos in society, of what we realized.
Don't worry, that does not represent us. I feel the same way; it is embarrassing to identify as Puerto Rican and think that what we saw is a reflection of us. He/she didn't even sing a song in English to take advantage of the opportunity to perform in the biggest stadium. Illiterate, perhaps not for lack of luck, but because of those who feel identified listening to something just to feel part of the group."

Puerto Rico stops for 13 minutes to applaud history and bask in Bad Bunny's glow
The crowd that had gathered for the halftime show began streaming out of the watch party as soon as the second half started, smiling as they reflected on what they had just witnessed.

“I thought it was phenomenal that Bad Bunny brought all Latinos together in one place and represented them all equally,” said Carlos Ayala, 36, of San Juan. “It’s an important moment for Latino culture.”

He also thought it fantastic that Ricky Martin sang Bad Bunny’s, “Lo que le pasó a Hawaii,” which laments gentrification in Puerto Rico, a worsening issue for many on an island with a more than 40% poverty rate.

“Transmitting that message is extremely important in these times,” he said, adding that he also appreciated the light posts and exploding transformers featured during the show, a nod to Puerto Rico’s chronic outages “so the world can see what we live through.”

Among those beaming after the show was Juliana Santiago, 35, who said her heart swelled with pride on Sunday night.

She said Bad Bunny proved that “you can accomplish things, that the American dream truly is real.”

Several in a small group… it’s been wild

One liked the show but claims he’s not fond of the Bunny but defended him all day
His cousin can’t stand Bad Bunny and all of his anti American messaging even more so than I :lol:
His sister doesn’t understand why Puerto Ricans actually like him
His nephew said The Bunny is trash, posted a few of the Bunny’s leadership photos and they were truly disgusting
And then his gay brother, the radical leftist Bernie loving communist of the familia became enraged at what he was reading and cursed his way right out of the chat group.. hilarious

As for myself, I just sat back and watched

So no, Puerto Ricans are very split on the Bad Bunny

I don’t know his music. At all. The set and messaging were cool though.

The whole point here is the snowflake response from MAGA and Trump.

“Foreign religious law has NO place here”.

So Chip Roy, being a strict constitutionalist, supports the separation of church and state? Or was the Bible written by Chief Sealth?

I’ll take weird as a compliment. America isn’t winning with Trump. He’s challenging many closely held values and freedoms. Not to mention our standing globally. America was semi-broken before he took office. He’s just been an extraordinary accelerant.

You don't understand social media and how lots of busy professionals and companies pay someone to manage their accounts. You know how trump uses it and you expect everyone else to use it the same way. You might be that simple but life isn't.
I‘m not talking companies. I‘m talking individuals. And they are all frauds if they are letting someone else post it from their own personal account (versus their office/business/company).

Either the White House is lying or trump is a fraud ...

The current Republicans in power continue to show they are not interested in really staying in power. The changeover in majority in the legislature in November will certainly reflect this. Not really hopeful, though, that the Dems who will take their place have anything more substantial to offer. It's the cycle we're in.

Well, that's what we're going to get given the complete crapshow the GOP is putting on right now. When you choose not to govern, people notice. The GOP has already abdicated their roles in the legislature, November will just be the formality of that current reality. People won't be choosing the Dems because they like their policies or likelihood of impeaching the President, they'll be choosing them simply because the GOP is offering nothing.
