Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The NFL’s decision to feature Latin artist Bad Bunny at halftime has already sparked controversy in some conservative circles, with critics arguing that his predominantly Spanish-language music and stances on issues such as immigration make him an unconventional pick for the game’s massive audience.

His 2025 song “Nuevayol” features an imitated Trump voice saying, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America. . . . This country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.”

Green Day, which formed in the East Bay Area in the 1980s, is set to perform during the game’s opening ceremony. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has long denounced the administration and has altered the lyrics of the band’s 2004 Grammy-nominated song “American Idiot” during live performances, changing the line “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda.”

In July, Armstrong led a Download Festival crowd in a chant calling Trump a “fat bastard.”

And you’ll get booed in live TV?

Maybe worse?

Yup. He's likely not to get lots of adulation from conservatives that clap like seals whenever he mumbles out stupid shit like happens at his stupid road shows.

We already know he's anti-America. I can't wait to take a shit on his grave. That will be a great day.

Hope his ghoulish family shoves him under a golf course and forgets about him, like he did with Ivana.

Green Day has been protesting presidents since their band formed

This sounds like a win.

Even with how mad MAGA supposedly is, I betcha $10 this will be the most popular Super Bowl of the decade. I think the internet and news media vastly overestimate MAGA's influence on the daily lives of every American. I live in a big red county in a rural area and lemme tell ya, basically nobody gives a shit about 70% of what the internet and the news says they do. I'm not saying they are saints, I'm just saying that when you see "MAGA angry at [blank]" most of the time it's literally just, like, a Reddit post, a few tweets, or some right wing podcaster.

In other news, Trump made a cryptic post on Truth Social, stating “Some of you guys are alright. Don’t go to major sporting events in the next two weeks if you’re in the southwest.”

It is unclear what the President meant by this. However, it should be noted that President Trump has not been presented with an NFL Peace Prize, and may not feel obligated to think purely of peace.

It’s most likely because it’s too hard to change his diaper there in public and to be fair, those are older men and he likes them younger, and snuffed out.

It’s time for America to put commander bone spurs out to pasture.

Also. How about those Epstein files?

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 51 minutes ago (1 children)

Damn; every missed public event is a missed opportunity to shoot that POS right in the face.
