    They have to face so many disappointments lately. Several shooters that were not queer black illegal aliens, ICE removing their cheapest slaves employees, and now no country singer for the halftime show.

    That is more than those snowflakes can stand.

        Our dumb fuck president didn’t know he was the president of Puerto Rico last time. I think most of them don’t even know it exists to have an opinion on them being American or not.

      They’re Americans in the same way India and ireland were British in the 1800s. Fingers crossed they act more like the Irish resistors.

        You do know that Puerto Rico has voted to stay, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_political_status_for_Puerto_Rico

        They’re Americans in the way that they’re fully enfranchised US citizens in every way.

        Up until the 1960s they had the same legal status as residents of Washington DC. The only reason it hasn’t changed is because they’ve consistently asked for it not to.

        Are you hoping Puerto Rican terrorists killing mainlanders will cause Puerto Ricans to vote for independence?

          No, they’re hoping for there to be violence that results in British dying.

          Because nobody cries of spilled British blood.

          I mean, the greatest hope would be that only a certain type of political bent would die, but there are already people dying due to fascists. We aren’t getting out of this without resisting.

        I live in the middle of fucking nowhere

        Way more afraid of the always naked guy that doesn’t have running water and shits in his front yard outhouse all winter than I am of the rich fucks with fancy gates and threatening signs on them: “PRIVATE PROPERTY. FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT.”

        Ok buddy. Guaranteed our mutual neighbor shits in your yard for fun.

      Pretty much always.

      The media continually paint them as having a meltdown, but in reality it’s their state of being; the reactionary hate is where they live.

      If you hear “<famous person x> does <y> and the far right say they’re OK with that….” be VERY concerned about whatever <y> was.

      Maybe not anymore, a few polls have shown reduced support for Trump among Hispanics, probably because his goons assume they are illegal because they’re brown.

      We tried to warn them…

        Try telling that to my half Mexican brother and his Mexican wife. If anything, their positive opinion of Trump has gone through the roof. They love seeing the “pisas” get deported.

        They don’t seem to realize that they’re next once ICE runs out of easy targets.

        My polls show increased support because they think the bad browns will be kicked out and not them, the good browns.

    Maybe society can figure out how to harness all that perpetual negative energy to make something good. Something like churros.

        He refused an american tour because he doesn’t want ICE staking out his shows and harassing his fans. The half-time doesn’t require them in person to enjoy it.

          That makes sense, like I said I didn’t really know why other than what I heard from a coworker. Still seems a bit hypocritical. Takes away from the message a bit.

            If you “don’t really know why”, then why are you repeating rumor and hearsay? You know that’s how bullshit spreads, right? “Oh my coworker said blahdiddyblahblah and I didn’t bother to verify it”

            You’re on the Internet, you can literally just open a new tab and Google shit before you go talking out of your ass.

            It's literally this easy.

            It’s not hypocritical, he said he would no longer tour, because of danger to his fans. The Super Bowl is not a tour date and there will be no danger to his fans, as they will not be the primary attending audience of the Super Bowl. It wasn’t some stand against the administration, it’s a protective action for his fans which isn’t applicable in this case.

    “This is a rapper with a catalog of vulgar lyrics in Spanish and English — including calling a president a “mamabicho” (translation: vile insult),” she wrote.

    What is a mamabicho? And is Trump one?

        I’ve never understood how that’s an insult. It’s like shouting, “Hey, you! Yeah, you, who does that thing that I really want you to do to to me! You do that thing! HA! Loser!”

        Like, anyone here not want me to do them a quickie? Bet you I can inhale your entire wang and sack at the same time without gagging.
