What's to investigate? It was shown on TV!

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago

Tax dollars hard at work.

Setting money on fire would be better than paying Republicans to do this stupid shit.

Today in "This isn't the Epstein Files!"

I have to admit, I'm going to experience a little Schadenfreude, when Bubba gets his "Christian Nation" then realizes our entertainment has gone back to the 1950s. No more boobage, no more ass shaking.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 2 points 38 minutes ago

Is there a list of reps supporting this? I wanna make sure mine is on it before I harass him this week.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 hours ago

House Republicans a week after the SuperBowl and stupid sexy bunny...

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Lovely.

Release the Epstein files, you pedophile protectors.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 hours ago

Probably offended that there weren't any underage girls or boys being "twerked, ground or thrusted" into.

Bad Bunny just sitting over there, thinking «Ahora soy como Elvis»....

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 3 points 2 hours ago

Are Republicans going to make, "statutory, mandatory", then?

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

They must have run out of scapegoats

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 hours ago

There it is. The h-bomb of all Epstein files distractions. Sexy Puerto Ricans, dancing joyfully to reggaeton.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 22 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

But it's the PELVIC THRUST, that really drives them INSA-AY-AY-ANE!

[–] notabot@piefed.social 10 points 5 hours ago

Let's do the time warp ag-ai-ai-ai-ain!

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 29 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Some of those lawmakers are probably old enough to have protested Elvis hip thrusting back when he started out.

There's a name for these kinds of people: Fuddy Duddies

I prefer to call them "pedophiles and criminals" but I guess older terms also work.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 106 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Mad about grown women twerking. But ignoring pedophiles

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 32 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but how white are those twerking women compared to the pedophiles, huh?

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 5 points 2 hours ago

Well, at least one pedophile is orange

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 8 hours ago

They are mad that weren't 7 year olds twerking

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 67 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), [asked officials] to look into the performance, which he called "pure smut" that he claimed was "illegal to be displayed on public airways."

Ogles? Are we being pranked?

He’s requesting Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry. While some other tool:

Mark Alford (R-Mo.) said Tuesday that he and his Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives have already embarked on an investigation into the event.

Got tired of investigating the fucking child rape? Fuck republicans.

Alford said. "The lyrics from what we've seen from Bad Bunny are very disturbing. And if it holds true — I don't speak fluent Spanish, okay, I know how to ask where the bathroom is

These dumb mother fuckers…. So he can’t understand the lyrics and is what? Outraged? What a piece of shit.

[–] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Can you imagine being dumb enough to vote for these guys? Their voter base should be embarrassed.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 minutes ago

I fucking WISH embarrassment was something that a trump supporter could feel.

You don't understand. They are investigating this because of the children! 

They probably think children watching this are going to become sluts too soon and so they won't be innocent and pure anymore for when they try to rape them!

Sigh I wish I were joking...

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@piefed.social 29 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure investigating a concert instead of the Epstein files will be really popular with their base.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 24 points 8 hours ago

They're investigating a brown person for having moee fun than they've ever experienced in their life. They'll eat this up.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 10 points 6 hours ago

Elvis Presley is laughing from his grave. All hail Elvis The Pelvis!

[–] madjo@piefed.social 22 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Didn't they have a safe space halftime show? What are they complaining about?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 10 points 6 hours ago

I know drunk drag queens who can lipsync better that 'kid rock'. Maybe get your track synced before you show up in your backyard clothes.

It... didn't go as well as they thought... 

Which s funny, they said the counter-concert would be so big that nobody would watch El Super Tazon, yet looks to me that every single republican knows what happened in that show...

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 34 points 9 hours ago

Good! We're FINALLY Getting to the Bottom of ~~Rich Pedophiles RAPING AND TORTURING LITTLE GIRLS!~~ people DANCING!

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 37 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What a fucking waste of time and money

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Republicans? Yeah. Their voter base, too.

[–] ServantOfRa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 9 hours ago

Let's do the time warp agaaaaaiiinnnn!

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago

Why I am thinking of a plot for a porn flick?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 10 points 9 hours ago

What a bunch of nerds.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago

Most expected, least satirical title.

[–] DevotedShitStain69@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

God... They're a bunch of petty pussies.
