Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.
Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.
I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

There were two elections I was watching yesterday—and both ended up as clear Democratic wins.
Let's recap for those who weren't glued on here last night.
1️⃣ In Louisiana, Dems very easily held a seat that had gone for Trump by 13 percentage points in 2024.

It's going to take white America, collectively, getting out in the streets shutting everything down to stop him. Since white supremacy rules this nation, only white people have the power to stop him.

As white people make up the majority of the voters in this nation, it's on the white collective to do this. You'd do better to focus your words on white people. The leftists who voted 3rd party or sat out the vote are a better target for this lecture. Go after them.

The survivor statements to FBI in the Epstein Files are consistent, specific and direct.
I believe every word of their terrifying experiences.
Truly a shame none of the dozens and dozens of wealthy men,
the business, world and religious leaders clearly implicated will never be brought to justice.

People out there supporting the GOP because Jesus and the sanctity of human life should know that the GOP is pretending to support your ideals so they can continue with this sort of thing...These people do not have the best of intentions, and you'd do well to withdraw your support from them.

Literally sacrificing. Like, ritual sacrificing for some demonic stuff. I would say Satan, but I'm pretty sure Satanists would tell me they don't hold with this sort of thing...But the human mind can only fathom so much that it falls back on what it knows...

I commented about this on another of your posts, but it does feel on some level that there's something demonic going on. I mean, maybe that's silly storytelling stuff and demons aren't real, and it feels like that cuz the human mind literally cannot understand and process the motives behind it all.

Folks are only reconsidering their votes because they don't want to be known as accomplices to racism and the rape of children.
Damage is done.
So, too bad, so sad.
You're racist, and you're okay with children being raped.

Off topic, but I can't help but recall how your former employer stood by you and protected your free speech when you spoke out about this person. I can't q-white figure out what was different between that situation and the one with Charlie Kirk...hmm...

Stunning to see mainstream news media
basically ignore the Epstein File revelations that
clearly implicate the sitting president and his political allies.
President Trump is a pedophile, child sex trafficker and newborn baby murderer.
Trumps many rants about Dems murdering babies—was projection.

Shoutout to all the people who will have to cover for their coworkers on Monday who come down with that mysterious, yet predictable 24 hour post-Super Bowl "flu." Mondays are terrible enough when you're fully staffed, but I hope we all get through it ok!!
