Wow! Ok, Because I'm me, I had a tab open to the TPGriftBowl halftime show too. 4.75M people. Not great, but not a bust. It dropped to 4.3M the second BadBunny started at the real show. They lost 10% of the MAGA audience to BadBunny! Damn!

I just read a troll chastising a lesbian couple for "sinning" before an all-seeing, all-powerful God. But if you think he's omniscient & omnipotent AND specifically watching homosexual acts but not stopping them… doesn't that just mean he LIKES to watch?

Look dumbasses. We're like 10 years into Trumpland here. If your argument is still "this is just negotiations, I don't think he really means it" I don't trust you to tie your shoes, use a stove, or cut with grownup scissors. You don't belong on TV!

No. Just no. I refuse to believe this many motherfuckers spent 5 seasons over 9 years not knowing they were watching a queer coming-out allegory. They're lying. Dipshits aren't THAT dumb!

Dear Asshole Behind Me,

I think my favorite MAGA take on Trump’s ballroom has “Obama didn’t ask permission to build his Bball court”.
Thats actually true. He didn’t ask before hanging a $200 hoop on the fence of the tennis court that was already there. Temporarily! Damn! You got him!
