It’s an odd phenomenon where the long established red line—criminal abuse and rape of young people—has broken down, in part because of decades of elite corruption and in part because it implicates their demagogic leader. But popular revulsion won’t go away, so they’re trying to jury-rig a new line.
“.. one person close to the White House predicted that it might be the straw that sends Lutnick ‘for the exits,’ arguing that being on the island is ‘sort of the red line.’”

they really do not understand that once Trump’s in the ground their coalition of religious fundamentalists, Nazis, and silicon valley CEOs will completely disintegrate. they’re delusional about their ability to somehow end our democracy before November. Trump bought them time they’ve squandered.

Sure, Republicans lie, but I can't get over how ludicrous their stated positions are.
In this clip, if you take what he says at face value ("still investigating... from what we have seen... if it is true"), House Republicans are unsure how to confirm the lyrics to a song because it was in Spanish.

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means
