These back to back are hilarious. Calling "libs" "spineless losers who would piss all over themselves unable to defend a thing" but then talking about embodying grace and forgiveness is so funny to me
Not to mention it's the libs on the front lines and the 2a crowd nowhere to be found when there's actual government tyranny in the streets.

That battle is like telling a SC fan that Clemson is superior to them in every measurable as a university but their blind ignorance will not allow them to seek the truth and admit it. Just argue
This is all kinds of blasphemous 😅

The Weekend was another performance I did not necessarily get. But I know my 20 something year old daughter popped for him.
See, I like The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar. I got The Weeknd’s albums when they were only available to download from his website. I appreciate that they picked artists who were interesting, which usually also means they weren’t for everybody. They probably don’t have quite as many streaming listens as Bad Bunny, but somehow none of his most popular songs even sound familiar to me.

It still would have devolved into the dumpster fire/gold mine that the thread is delivering on though.

Just from my perspective, I've heard of him long before any of the controversy (he was a guest performer during the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show which is hilarious to the "who is this guy" crowd) but definitely not familiar with his catalogue or individual songs. I'm happy to take the 15 minutes to listen and take in something different. I might like it, I might not. Either of those outcomes are fine and harmless. But somehow we've lost that thread in our culture and feel the need to weaponize anything different and throw temper tantrums like children.
Yeah, he’s one of those musical artists whose name I’ve heard a lot of, but whose music is completely unfamiliar to me.

I am guessing that most leftist in this thread want the murder of the unborn as a form of birth control, open borders to include rapist/ murderers- criminals, high inflation as Bidens was terrible and Obama had the slowest economic recovery on record, and a strong Iran, Russia and Venezuela, Cuba and China.
I would suggest that very few of us are beholden to a strict orthodoxy.

You continue to surprise me. In this case that is a positive.

to add I enjoyed KLs show as well. But I could not tell you a song of his either

I'm no more or less excited for a super bowl halftime show than I have been the last 20 years. I don't watch it because I'm usually outside shotgunning Busch lites and smoking blunts.

So far every singer has been gay or Bi except Puth, even though he has some gay-themed songs.

Hilarious. An openly gay woman singing America the Beautiful and being signed by the great American, Julian Ortiz.

Would love your breakdown of these verses...

Leviticus 19:28
"You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord."

Ezekiel 23:20
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

1 Samuel 18:27
“Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.”
Yup. 200 foreskins in exchange for marrying Saul’s daughter. I guess the saying of the times was, “Every fellowship begins with foreskins.”

2 Kings 2:23-25
"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. 'Get out of here, baldy!' they said. 'Get out of here, baldy!' He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria."

Timothy 2:12
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent."

Ephesians 5:22
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.”

1 Peter 2:18
“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.”

1 Samuel 15:3
“This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”

Psalm 137:9
"Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.”

Genesis 19: 30-38
“Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Let’s get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father.” That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I lay with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.”

Genesis 19: 4-8
“Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom–both young and old–surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”

Proverbs 27:14
“If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.”

Leviticus 19:27
"You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard."

Leviticus 11:28-29
"Also whatever walks on its paws, among all the creatures that walk on all fours, are unclean to you."
Ceremonial law, Civil law, and Moral law. The ceremonial and Civil were for the Jews on those times to follow. Under the new covenant we(new testament followers of Christ) only have to follow the moral law which is repeated in the New Testament.

250 year celebration for America! Let’s go above and beyond to make everything political and have someone sing Spanish at halftime

Makes perfect sense

Just out of curiosity, do you “desperately cling” to your algorithm or is that just for people who believe differently than you?
Are you tolerant until you’re not or how does that work?
Yes, I go on fox news, breitbart, the r/conservative subreddit, and even truth social often to see different sides.

I grew up and still live in the deep south, tho I've lived plenty elsewhere in the states, and work for a European based company.

It's a passion of mine not to be formed by an echo chamber and I prefer truth over outrage, and nuance over binary thinking.

I'm not a 'both sides' guy but I have plenty of views that don't fit the leftist dogma either

You already know something is wrong with tonight’s halftime show.

But the Spanish lyrics and the ICE protests and the petition for George Strait and the President’s boycott.. all of that is sideshow. For three months, 120,000 people signed petitions and argued about language and culture while the real story sits in a Venezuelan military yearbook and a Florida corporate filing.

The man who built Bad Bunny’s empire is Rafael Ricardo Jiménez Dan. Captain in the Venezuelan army. Official in Hugo Chávez’s government. Third in his class at the military academy, 1987. In 2014, he gave $2 million to a broke 24-year-old named Noah Assad in Puerto Rico. That money became Rimas Entertainment. Bad Bunny’s label. Dan owned 60%. He approved the signing. Rimas is an acronym for his children’s names. Ricardo, Marianna, Sophya.

In 2023, Sony helped buy Dan out.

His name disappeared from the ownership papers.

He was there.

The man who graduated one seat above Dan is Diosdado Cabello Rondón.

Former Vice President of Venezuela. Hugo Chávez’s Chief of Staff. Indicted in the Southern District of New York for coordinating cocaine shipments with the FARC, laundering millions, and supplying machine guns, rocket launchers, and explosives to a designated terrorist organization.

The United States government will pay you $25 million for information leading to his arrest.

One seat over in the graduation photo.

Same class:

Jesse Chacón Escamillo.
He became Venezuela’s UN representative, ran Maduro’s personal intelligence unit, and signed Jiménez Dan’s government appointment himself.

José Gregorio Vielma Mora.
Sanctioned by the US and Canada for money laundering, wire fraud, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.

Alexis Rodríguez Cabello.
Diosdado’s cousin, sanctioned by the US, Canada, the EU, France, Belgium, Monaco, and Switzerland.

Carlos Alberto Rotondaro Cova.
A regime general who defected to Colombia with almost nothing. In this network, loyalty is the only currency that holds.

Those are the boys Dan came up with.


Dan says he served in government from 2006 to 2007. One year. Minor role.

Venezuelan Official Gazette archives show him in a senior judicial position in October 2003. Three years before he admits to starting. His 2006 appointment as Vice Minister of Legal Security was signed by his own classmate, Jesse Chacón.

After government, Dan registered companies across Venezuela, Panama, and Florida. At least a dozen. The registered agent on the Florida filings is Carlos A. Souffront.

Souffront is the president of Rimas Publishing.

Souffront also represents Dominican Senator Felix Ramon Bautista Rosario. Bautista was sanctioned by the US Treasury for fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering tied to Haiti earthquake reconstruction. He took over $10 million for work that was never finished.

Your church probably raised money for Haiti after that earthquake. Some of it ended up with a man whose lawyer runs Bad Bunny’s publishing company.


Dan says every dollar he invested came from entrepreneurship.

He was an official in a regime now under federal indictment for narco-terrorism. He retired to Florida. Millions appeared. A corporate network spread across three countries. Within a few years he had launched the most successful Latin music label in history.

Bad Bunny canceled his 2025 US tour. Said ICE might target his fans at concerts. At the Grammys he told America “ICE out.” The man whose career was funded by a Chávez regime insider, whose classmates trafficked cocaine with terrorists, armed militants, and carry combined federal bounties north of $50 million, wants you to believe immigration enforcement is the danger.

The NFL vetted this.

Roger Goodell’s league looked at the network behind their halftime performer and gave him the biggest stage in American entertainment anyway.

Tonight they put him on the fifty-yard line. 120+ million people will see it. Most of them will never know what you just read

OP- why did you not have a choice for why people really not watching? Don’t shy away if you are going to ask.

Like, no I am not watching an American-hating, mentally ill ***** spew his propaganda
He wasn't talking about the Turning a blind eye to Pedophiles tour. Pushing that type of KKKristianity is a bad look for Americans.

nobody considers it "political" except for the same snowflakes who cried about the Cracker Barrel logo and tried to make that idiotic issue somehow political.

not sure why this is so hard for the chuds to understand. instead of rolling out a rich kid who grew up on an apple orchard in Michigan cosplaying as white trash rapping about wanting to bang underage girls whose popularity peaked in 1998, the NFL decided to showcase an artist who was the highest selling/streamed artist of 2025 (other years recently as well).

Bad Bunny is the highest-selling/most-streamed artist of 2025 according to Spotify Wrapped and Billboard, finishing the year with nearly 20 billion streams. He also topped Billboard’s Global 200 Excl. U.S. chart and had the top global album with DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.

Key 2025 details for Bad Bunny:
  • Spotify & Charts: Ranked No. 1 Global Top Artist for the fourth time (2020-2022, 2025).

  • Earnings: Estimated 2025 earnings of

    $66 million, driven by a 31-show residency in Puerto Rico, as reported by Forbes.

  • Top Album: DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS was the top global album on Spotify.

He surpassed artists including Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Drake to secure the top spot in 2025.
