But beyond its stupidity, Johnson's comment is racist, ageist, and generally offensive. BB's immense audience is younger, browner, and less locked into Johnson's world view than LG's. By saying LG has "broader appeal," Johnson is saying people who don't look and think like him don't count. (3)

The NFL's choice of BB is not "woke"; it is a business decision. BB will bring in a vast new audience, many of whom would not normally be watching the SB. LG would not attract anyone who was not already tuned in. (2)

Mike Johnson criticized the choice of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime, saying he doesn't "appeal to a broader audience." He wanted Lee Greenwood.
BB averages 58 million streams a day on Spotify. LG: 32,000. That's 1800 people listening to a BB song for every LG. Who gas "broader appeal"? (1)

This is America's Reichstag Fire moment.
There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.
This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Their "jokes" are stress tests, to see how far people will let them go. They aren't esp "serious" abt the pope thing but are willing to be&are v serious to see which aspects of the "joke" the base will defend & embrace. That they generate outrage while doing it is just a bonus, a delight for them.

As with FDR's Fireside Chats in days gone by, all of America comes together on Sunday nights to read posts where the President of the United States is like "due to 'you know what' and Incidents pertaining to your favorite President (Me!), Hugh Jackman is as of this moment Null and Void in AMERICA."

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

It's reported that the government has spent $26 million on Trump's golf outings over the first 69 days since his inauguration.
That projects to $550 million over the course of his 4-uear term.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.
Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
