Mad about grown women twerking. But ignoring pedophiles

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but how white are those twerking women compared to the pedophiles, huh?

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 15 points 2 months ago

Well, at least one pedophile is orange

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 months ago

They are mad that weren't 7 year olds twerking

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), [asked officials] to look into the performance, which he called "pure smut" that he claimed was "illegal to be displayed on public airways."

Ogles? Are we being pranked?

He’s requesting Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry. While some other tool:

Mark Alford (R-Mo.) said Tuesday that he and his Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives have already embarked on an investigation into the event.

Got tired of investigating the fucking child rape? Fuck republicans.

Alford said. "The lyrics from what we've seen from Bad Bunny are very disturbing. And if it holds true — I don't speak fluent Spanish, okay, I know how to ask where the bathroom is

These dumb mother fuckers…. So he can’t understand the lyrics and is what? Outraged? What a piece of shit.

I'm sure investigating a concert instead of the Epstein files will be really popular with their base.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 32 points 2 months ago

They're investigating a brown person for having moee fun than they've ever experienced in their life. They'll eat this up.

You don't understand. They are investigating this because of the children! 

They probably think children watching this are going to become sluts too soon and so they won't be innocent and pure anymore for when they try to rape them!

Sigh I wish I were joking...

[–] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you imagine being dumb enough to vote for these guys? Their voter base should be embarrassed.

What a fucking waste of time and money

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 9 points 2 months ago

Republicans? Yeah. Their voter base, too.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 42 points 2 months ago

Good! We're FINALLY Getting to the Bottom of ~~Rich Pedophiles RAPING AND TORTURING LITTLE GIRLS!~~ people DANCING!

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some of those lawmakers are probably old enough to have protested Elvis hip thrusting back when he started out.

There's a name for these kinds of people: Fuddy Duddies

I prefer to call them "pedophiles and criminals" but I guess older terms also work.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 months ago

House Republicans a week after the SuperBowl and stupid sexy bunny...

[–] madjo@piefed.social 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Didn't they have a safe space halftime show? What are they complaining about?

It... didn't go as well as they thought... 

Which s funny, they said the counter-concert would be so big that nobody would watch El Super Tazon, yet looks to me that every single republican knows what happened in that show...

[–] Zier@fedia.io 11 points 2 months ago

I know drunk drag queens who can lipsync better than 'kid rock'. Maybe get your track synced before you show up in your backyard clothes.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Let me just check my understanding... Pelvic thrusts are fine when they are done in to an underage girl, but not in to a tv camera at the Superbowl? That's what they're saying with this investigation?

No. They are fine if done to underage girls. They are wrong if done by non-white people.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But it's the PELVIC THRUST, that really drives them INSA-AY-AY-ANE!

[–] notabot@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

Let's do the time warp ag-ai-ai-ai-ain!

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's to investigate? It was shown on TV!

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They need to investigate if there is any laws from 1842 that they can use to selectively punish brown people that angered them for the audacity of existing in front of their eyes during their precious football game and being flipping the bird to Trump and his ilk in doing so. They need to investigate if there is an incredibly narrow line they can draw after the fact to punish "vulgarity" that does not allow their opponents to easily throw that back in their faces for their absolute blatant hypocrisy. I imagine that will take considerable investigation for this particular brand of stupid bullshit to complain about.

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 months ago

I guess they've got spare time now that everyone in the Epstein-Trump files have been brought to justice for the child rape and Dow is over 50,000.

Ist this the same kind of shit the government pulled in the 1950's with Elvis' early performances? These evil people really do want to bring back the 1950's.

This kind of stupid: http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-sex.html

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Tax dollars hard at work.

Setting money on fire would be better than paying Republicans to do this stupid shit.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 months ago

There it is. The h-bomb of all Epstein files distractions. Sexy Puerto Ricans, dancing joyfully to reggaeton.

[–] ServantOfRa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

Let's do the time warp agaaaaaiiinnnn!

What a bunch of nerds.

Elvis Presley is laughing from his grave. All hail Elvis The Pelvis!

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Bad Bunny just sitting over there, thinking «Ahora soy como Elvis»....

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Government abducts people out of their homes

OMG I SAW SOMEBODY TWERKING, XALL THE MORAL ABD ETHICS POLICE!

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

It's Elvis the Pelvis panic all over again. Man the religious right is sure obsessed with crotches. I guess a few white conservative housewives got all tingly and squirmy and we can't have that!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Lovely.

Release the Epstein files, you pedophile protectors.

Today in "This isn't the Epstein Files!"

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Probably offended that there weren't any underage girls or boys being "twerked, ground or thrusted" into.

[–] DevotedShitStain69@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

God... They're a bunch of petty pussies.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

Are Republicans going to make, "statutory, mandatory", then?

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Is there a list of reps supporting this? I wanna make sure mine is on it before I harass him this week.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago

Selective outage at its finest.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Most expected, least satirical title.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

"House Republicans a bunch of jealous cucks"

These are a lot of the same asshats that said the ACA wasn't consequential enough to debate

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 months ago

Once again republicans are trying to make their weird hangups everybody else's problem instead of simply talking to a therapist.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/02/10/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime-congress-investigation/88612896007/

This story is mostly clickbait

A few Republican politicians are mad because he sang in Spanish. That's about it and I doubt anything will happen because of it.

Why I am thinking of a plot for a porn flick?

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I have to admit, I'm going to experience a little Schadenfreude, when Bubba gets his "Christian Nation" then realizes our entertainment has gone back to the 1950s. No more boobage, no more ass shaking.
