Let me just check my understanding... Pelvic thrusts are fine when they are done in to an underage girl, but not in to a tv camera at the Superbowl? That's what they're saying with this investigation?

No. They are fine if done to underage girls. They are wrong if done by non-white people.

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

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

They need to investigate if there is any laws from 1842 that they can use to selectively punish brown people that angered them for the audacity of existing in front of their eyes during their precious football game and being flipping the bird to Trump and his ilk in doing so. They need to investigate if there is an incredibly narrow line they can draw after the fact to punish "vulgarity" that does not allow their opponents to easily throw that back in their faces for their absolute blatant hypocrisy. I imagine that will take considerable investigation for this particular brand of stupid bullshit to complain about.

Tax dollars hard at work.

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

Mad about grown women twerking. But ignoring pedophiles

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 14 points 1 day ago

Well, at least one pedophile is orange

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 1 day ago

They are mad that weren't 7 year olds twerking

This story is mostly clickbait

A few Republican politicians are mad because he sang in Spanish. That's about it and I doubt anything will happen because of it.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 91 points 1 day 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.

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@piefed.social 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 30 points 1 day ago

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

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...

[–] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 5 points 20 hours ago

Selective outage at its finest.

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

It's Elvis the Pelvis panic all over again. Man the religious right is sure obsessed with crotches. I guess a few white conservative housewives got all tingly and squirmy and we can't have that!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Government abducts people out of their homes

OMG I SAW SOMEBODY TWERKING, XALL THE MORAL ABD ETHICS POLICE!

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day 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.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 4 points 20 hours ago

Once again republicans are trying to make their weird hangups everybody else's problem instead of simply talking to a therapist.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] notabot@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What a fucking waste of time and money

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 9 points 1 day ago

Republicans? Yeah. Their voter base, too.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 42 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

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

[–] madjo@piefed.social 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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...

[–] Zier@fedia.io 11 points 1 day 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.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Lovely.

Release the Epstein files, you pedophile protectors.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago

I guess they've got spare time now that everyone in the Epstein-Trump files have been brought to justice for the child rape and Dow is over 50,000.

Ist this the same kind of shit the government pulled in the 1950's with Elvis' early performances? These evil people really do want to bring back the 1950's.

This kind of stupid: http://www.elvis-history-blog.com/elvis-sex.html

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

"House Republicans a bunch of jealous cucks"

These are a lot of the same asshats that said the ACA wasn't consequential enough to debate

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Zier@fedia.io 12 points 1 day ago

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

What a bunch of nerds.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I...

What? Is this real fucking life? Have these Puritans really been here the entire time, I've just been unaware????

[–] Didntdoit71@feddit.online 2 points 23 hours ago

Oh, they never left. Some of these cucks would happily institutionalize a Christian version of Sharia law. That's one thing that really pisses them off about Islam...the Muslims REALLY know how to control other people's sexuality...hell, they even get to marry little girls!!! The Guardians Of Pedophiles (GOP) Hates it when a different religion gets to do what they're dying to do, but can't because we had a few founding fathers that thought religious men shouldn't get to rule the world.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.

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