Donald Trump Attacks Bad Bunnyโ€™s Super Bowl Halftime Show As A โ€œSlap In The Face To Our Countryโ€ Donald Trump ended up watching the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, after all, and to little surprise, the president hated it.

Trump calls #superbowlxl #halftimeshow a "Slap in the face to our country" and we all know exactly why he says that. Hilarious that even he watched it instead of the alternate turning point show...LOL

#superbowlLX If Lady Gaga's cover of the Mister Rogers song is getting PBS some royalties, then sure fine I guess. If not, I really hate that his legacy is being used to advertise a giant financial company.

Keeping Track of Why I Hate Donald Trump - Rants by Dustin Sometimes I get this question โ€œDo you even know why you hate T***p or are you just repeating what the media says?โ€ First of all, the so-called โ€œleft wing mediaโ€ have actually been very easy on him and...

Ever been asked "Why do you hate Donald Trump? Do you even know why or are you just saying with CNN told you to? You have TDS!" But actually the list of reasons is so long that it's hard to know where to start and hard to do it justice. Well, I've been working on a list, so now I can just link it.

Calling it a โ€œboard of peaceโ€ under Trump is like slapping a โ€œQuiet Pleaseโ€ sign on a construction site.

Donald Trump Shares AI Video Depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as Apes; Newsom Slams โ€˜Disgusting Behavior by the Presidentโ€™ President Donald Trump posted a racist video to his Truth Social account late Thursday with an AI-generated video of the Obamas as apes.

Dear news media,
Could you please maybe focus on this gaffe for longer than 24 hours so it actually impacts this piece of shit president? He deserves to fucking pay for his awfulness for once. Thanks. Maybe try imagining its a blowjob, you were great at focusing on one of those for 2yrs straight.

Who's being protected and why? How many other instances of this are we not noticing? And this is amongst what they were willing to release. We all said this was going to happen.

So sad that actress Catherine O'Hara passed away at 71. So many great ranges of characters, unbelievably talented and will be missed.

Once upon a time, dancing on a manโ€™s grave was seen as bad taste. The video doesnโ€™t justify what happened to him, so the post-hoc smears say more about the smearers than the dead.

Why are republicans suddenly ok with a president not needing any checks and balances on using military force against foreign nations? We're so numb that no one is as outraged as we should be about this. When we said no kings, we meant no kings.

Trump sparks anger with claim Nato troops avoided Afghanistan front line The US president said allied troops had "stayed a little back" during the war in Afghanistan.

Trump talking about his ass (as usual) about our NATO allies: "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." Why is our foreign policy currently to kiss the ass of our enemies and talk shit publicly about our allies?

Hillaryโ€™s damn emails. Kamalaโ€™s silly sounding laugh. Talk about two people who would not have used chemical weapons against American citizens in Minnesota.

He sounds like a 15 yo who just got dumped and is now trying to guilt his ex into taking him back. Boohooโ€”didnโ€™t win the prize. Now, in the process of whining about it, youโ€™re doing a great job proving exactly why. This was never about peace for peaceโ€™s sake; it was always self-serving, as usual.

I love this video of David Bowie as a teenager on the BBC getting asked about his long hair. "Was it the Rolling Stones who influenced you?" LOL..that's right, the Rolling Stones are so old. But I love em. And I loved David Bowie. I'm gonna jam to both of them 2day.

So many reports of ICE goons pulling people from Target stores. Chasing door dashers into peopleโ€™s homes. I donโ€™t recognize this country anymore, this is not the place I grew up.
