Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

It's a big club, and normal folks ain't in it.

I never see the Bush family named…

So how about them Epstein files? I thought the US was built around the constitution and the rule of law.

You really have to ask?

I do. Because I think this is a really good, non political example, that doesn't have any "what about ism" response.

You can have policy disagreements with anyone. But there is no other American doing more harm to the republic, completely outside of policy or politics, than this current a hole. Have other people said bad things, sure, mean things, yep, but there has never been a sitting president that has gone so far out of his way to constantly try to tear us apart. Who constantly frames other Americans as the enemy... At least none that I'm aware of.

It's even more shocking to me is that the "type of people" (totally stereotyping here) who, in my experience, most believe in personal accountability and leadership through example as intrinsically valuable character traits, the type of people who, as parents instill those values into their kids, are so completely unwilling to do anything about- to even talk about it.

you know what's interesting, is i made a comment during the superbowl half time show how i really didn't care for the performance. it just wasn't my cup of tea, the singing sounded bad and the music was just not my thing. didn't care for it.

you could tell there was like a suck of air in the room as several people immediately assumed that statement of mine meant i was a MAGA goat )#$(*))@.

i dunno, just didnt care for it. that doesn't make it "bad" and it doesn't have to mean anything at all beyond the fact that, well, i didn't really like it. i had never heard of bad bunny until like 3 weeks ago. i went back to eating pizza and chips in the kitchen, basically what i did for the whole game anyway.

it's a weird world where simple opinions immediately cause others to assign one as an enemy or not.

anyway, all of it was better than The Who trying not to have a stroke for 15 minutes.

Yep, and it's from the top down on both sides.

I’ve felt that way about pretty much every Super Bowl halftime show in recent memory.

I watched it yesterday out of curiosity. It was a typical Super Bowl program except I didn’t understand the language. I did appreciate that he pointed out that Puerto Rico was without electricity for 6 months without US help. I do wonder after he pointed out PR’s sugar industry if a tariff on an American territory will occur.

I don’t have any issues with Turning Points alternative show. I don’t want to watch either show.

Correct. And...? Is it inappropriate for him to voice his opinion in that way?

 

[Irrelevant]

Same here, I put BB radio on one day at work and thought, it's not bad, but it's not winter music either. I would totally listen to it on a beach in the sun.

Why do you ask first of all? Looks like I didn't mention anything about my opinion on the matter. I listened to several other Olympic athletes statements on sports radio. All I meant. mtmuley

I'm starting to think ya'll just don't like fun.

Rihanna was on a flying platform while pregnant. Katy Perry rode a giant mechanical lion...

Fat 50 dropped out of the ceiling!

Hard to understand tone/meaning on a forum. So I didn't know what point you were trying to make with me. I get it now.

To answer your question, no it is not inappropriate for the athletes to voice their opinion. The response Hess recieved was however. mtmuley

You know, for all the noise around Bad Bunny's show (which I found captivating and moving, despite not really getting much from the music), the most disturbing thing to me about the Superbowl was the ridiculous number of ads for AI... Creepy...

You can have policy disagreements with anyone.

It isn’t about policy. Hasn’t been for a while. Those that try to talk about policy are told they are being “elitist” and should stop talk down to people.

Clock on SS is ticking. With a single party controlling both houses of Congress and the White House, you would think a solution would be done. They care about the working people after all.
