If Kavanaugh is delayed he misses the appetizer at his dinner party. Or maybe he only had four beers instead of five. He can't or won't empathize with those who might lose a job or a day's pay that is needed to feed a family. 

Of course, also **** his empathy. He could also just read the 4th Amendment. 

It's much more expedient to wait on instructions and talking points from his handlers

Bad Bunny is the most streamed artist in the world.   Seems like a good reason to select him to perform at the super bowl 

Let's just get Kid Rock, not to sing, just shoot some cases of Bud light with an AR-15. Let's go full Idiocracy.

Will the Superbowl have to apologize to Turning Point USA and Erika Kirk?

I love your optimism, Romad. But I truly think we are in for dark times that may not end in our lifetime. This guy is a monster and his voters are cultists who will love him no matter what. Just like those Germans that still loved Hitler after WWII was over. Even after all the destruction he brought. Trumpers are a lost cause.

Even after Trump croaks, others that are much smarter than him will continue this new fascism period.

Right now in the world, there is no one that will stop the bad people from doing the things they want to do. The America that I love is on the verge of falling. If not already fallen.

I agree. The worst part is there are people I grew up with, and even some of my cousins who are under the spell. 

If what I'm seeing going on in Chicago right now is now the norm, it's only a matter of time before many of us are taken away too.

When did Danica Patrick become a nutjob?  Did I miss something? 

[pfife]

Yeah i think shes been a chud for a long time.

MAGA's are such snowflakes, they hate any sort of inclusion.

I will say that as a 73 year old I have no clue about Bad Bunny's music. The half time show has not interested me for years.

Same here, but clearly he's a 5 alarm fire for the culture warriors.

Culture warriors turn everything they don't understand into a five alarm fire. I'm surprised there isn't any more outcry about the Pope's comments this week

Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro‑life,” he told the reporters.

“Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants… I don’t know if that’s pro‑life.”

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone."

Anne Frank wrote those words.

Especially since they seem determined to ignore the Constitution

“In 1933, German conservatives thought they could control Hitler. Two years later, they were being executed in their own homes. I spent weeks researching this question, desperately looking for counter-examples, for hope, for any time in history where people successfully stopped fascists after they started winning elections.

“Here’s what I found: Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.

[…]

“No wealthy democracy with nuclear weapons has ever fallen to fascism. The 1930s examples everyone cites were broken countries. Weimar Germany was weakened by World War I and hyperinflation. Italy was barely industrialized. Spain was largely agrarian. They didn’t have the world’s reserve currency or thousands of nukes or surveillance technology that would make the Stasi weep with envy.

“America has all of that. Plus geographic isolation that makes external intervention impossible. Plus a population where 30-40% genuinely wants authoritarian rule as long as it hurts the “right people.” The historical playbook is useless here. We’re in unprecedented territory.”

Did someone’s feelings get hurt by a micro aggression? Awww so sad. You probably need to find yourself a safe space.

To be fair, I'd probably enjoy that more than Bad Bunny.

She’s been a nut job for a while. At least since she was dating Aaron Rodgers.

I can't wrap my head around the idea by Ms Patrick about her "no songs in English" rant... which is weirdly worded by the way but I think she's trying to say that we shouldn't be televising songs that aren't in English.

English refers to England.  England is whole other country.  Why should an event based in the US make a rule regarding another country's language?  Our country doesn't have a language.  What's the basis for that?

I just did a quick lookup and the last superbowl was watched by roughly 210 million people in the US (plus another 62.5 million globally).  Hispanic viewship was estimated at 14% and the spanish language broadcast was below 2%.  The vast majority of viewers are English speaking, so it doesn't seem that outside of the box to think that entertainment for the group would match.  

The NFL is pushing their product to Latin/South America, as well as Europe, but they are making significant gains within our hemisphere.  As such, I understand why Bad Bunny was picked, but I have no issues with the majority of viewers which this won't resonate with wondering if the NFL is turning their back on them either.  My guess, the NFL figures it won't lose fans over this, but can gain fans with Bad Bunny.  Think of it like Democrats and their constituents in large cities, they throw some talking points to them once in awhile, but by and far they ignore them just like the Republicans because they already have that market controlled.
