Pic Of The Moment: Party Currently Engaged In Epstein Cover-Up Seeks Inquiry Into "Widespread Twerking" At Super Bowl

[EarlG]

Large version

House Republicans call to investigate Bad Bunny Super Bowl show over 'widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts'

MAGA lawmaker jeered as he flips out over 'unspeakable depravities' of Super Bowl show

[unblock]

1. "... widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts and other sexually suggestive conduct" said ogles. OGLES

[Hugin]

3. The threshold of peak irony was passed some time ago.

Now we’re coasting in the afterglow.

[Bettie]

19. Well, it is the pelvic thrust

that really drives you insane.... (sorry, couldn't resist, but it does show us that the oh-so-moral types have been at this for decades!)

[Volaris]

59. NO DANCING!!!

Yeah, MAGA is just that asshole, times 20 million.

[Whyisthisstillclose]

2. Perfect example of the insanely ridiculous Republican Party and it's

total loss of a connection to reality. The hypocrisy is astounding to anyone not in the cult

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. LOL

I was not aware that twerking was illegal

[Ray Bruns]

15. It is if you are brown.

[dalton99a]

5. Kick

[sinkingfeeling]

6. How many strings of pearls do those two own, since they're constantly clutching them?

[Moostache]

24. The real question is whether or not they clutch each other's pearls on the DL... (n/t)

[state of stupid]

78. I was thinking the exact same thing, but I was not so sure they are clutching with their hands IYKWIM!

[BattleRow]

45. They've become unstrung by these high strung hypocrites.

Doubtful they can be found in the miasma of hurled ketchup.

[NoMoreRepugs]

7. Do Rethugs draw straws to see who is going to be talking about the most asinine thing of the day to help

divert attention from the Epstein files?

[MerryBlooms]

55. Mass email talking points

[leftstreet]

8. I bet they've been "studying" it for some time

check their web browsers

[evolves]

9. Ogles is ostensibly my representative.

I email him daily (using a form on his website that interestingly requires FIVE PAGES of steps to complete) asking him why he supports the rape of children.
Because he gives unyielding allegiance to and cover for an adjudicated rapist and pedophile, he must support and condone the rape of children. I ask him daily to explain why to his constituents.
To date, I have had no response, though I ask for one.

In short, he is loathsome.

Can’t wait to vote against him. Again.

[CrispyQ]

77. Five pages? Proof he doesn't want to hear from you.

I make calls & one of my senators has a really looong message, & then it repeats in Spanish. They never give you a number to press, to skip the message in the future, like polite phone systems do. Another interesting thing is who records their own message & who has staff do it. My two senators have staff do it; my rep records his own, & Senator Schumer records his own, too.

[malaise]

10. Nailed it

Rec

[MiHale]

11. Let them watch some tv commercials...

Same thing…but no investigation of corporate America.

[Just Jerome]

12. I guess

I missed a significant portion of the halftime show. Too bad. What I saw was righteous!

[flvegan]

13. But it's the pelvic thrust, that really drives (them) insane

I guess madness, takes its toll.

[usedtobedemgurl]

18. I see what you did there!

[mercuryblues]

72. IKR

You would think Elvis Pressley was still alive.

[Ping Tung]

14. The worst government is the most moral.

The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression. H.L. Mencken

[FadedMullet]

49. Hadn't heard that one from Mencken. Perfect. His stuff really is timeless. Thanks.

[ChicagoTeamster]

16. They have to try and maintain their faux family oriented Christian purity schtick. Even the Pope doesn't buy it.

American Evangelical Christians are digging themselves deeper and deeper into the hypocrite pit to stay in lockstep with Trump, the most amoral person ever to walk the earth.

[Conjuay]

17. That's the same line of crap they accused Elvis Presley of.

Elvis the pelvis -
Who says the GOP doesn't believe in recycling?

[Initech]

20. Trump isn't just merely *IN* the Epstein files.

He's the president, chairman and CEO. He's committed some massively horrific, unspeakable crimes. And yet the stark raving lunatics in the Fox News MAGA GOP are outraged over a fucking Super Bowl halftime show.

[orangecrush]

21. I actually called Alford's office

And amazingly got a real person.

A very nice young woman.

I was very polite, and told her that respectfully, when I heard this, I hoped it was the Onion.

She actually stifled a chuckle

I repeated what I read in the news, and her voice changed to a weariness and sadness that surprised me.

She said she would relay my comment, and did not dispute the information.

Purely subjective, but she actually sounded embarrassed by her boss.

Just my take.

I concluded by saying that after the midterms, Bad Bunny will not be the priority of congressional investigations.

I thanked her and said goodbye.

[hibbing]

22. I always love the picture choices EarlG!

[eShirl]

23. It's called dancing, you hypocritical pearl-clutchers.

[GopherGal]

67. Is it really any more indecent than a certain Orange Blob's Dancing?

the "Alternating Double Handy" dance?

[slightlv]

26. OMG! Shades of the "Elvis the Pelvis" panic! /snark

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. And what do they call what scantily-clad dancers have done in oversized martini glasses...

at Mar a Turdo? Sunday School?

[DBoon]

28. as Elvis Presly turns in his grave...

[soldierant]

69. My thought exactly.

I remember they called him "Elvis the pelvis." And thought they were so clever and cute.

[peacebuzzard]

71. I know, right?

there is an art to everything.
Twerking is an art; a homegrown, another great art style dance.
IMO.
I can't do it myself; haven't really tried but I do like to dance and probably look weird when I do......

[efhmc]

29. So that is what twerking is? I never could get an explanation that made any sense to me. Still not sure. Was Elvis

twerking back in the day?

[Dr. T]

48. Twerking involves a dancer bending over at the waist

and twitching their buttocks as if they were caught in a compromising position during an earthquake.

[MerryBlooms]

56. Kinda just booty bouncing

Won't someone protect the children from all this entertainment!?!
But ya'll shush about actually the horrific crimes committed by my boss and his buddies! 😤

[Ol Janx Spirit]

30. So the guy that will grift off of his stillborn baby's death is offended by the choreography...

...of a halftime show?

In case that weren’t quite enough, Ogles used a photo of his stillborn baby to raise money for a project he referred to at the time as “Lincoln’s Place.” The Republican ended up collecting tens of thousands of dollars meant for a children’s burial garden, but by all accounts, it was never built, and as WTVF reported, “Ogles has refused to provide evidence of what he did with the money.”

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/gops-andy-ogles-latest-false-claims-add-troubles-rcna153723

On second thought: that's pretty much on-brand for these fake "Chirstian" fascist bootlickers....

[kimbutgar]

31. But they're ok with their president who has said on tape he likes to grab women by their pussies?

[Attilatheblond]

32. Why investigate 'Widespread twerking'? Pick one or more:

A) Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) is REALLY afraid he will lose in Nov. and is desperate to look like a fierce defender of white patriarchal morality while ignoring you-know-what.

B) GOP more concerned about impact of happy US citizens on an island dancing and enjoying life than Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction on young children and dirty older white guys than they are about you-know-what.

C) El Guapo de los Pedófilas* is giving donuts for the most novel distractions from you-know-what

*I apologize for probably getting that wrong, but my Spanish is very limited & some words didn't get taught in high school.

Anyhoo, today's chant is:

"EPESTEIN FILES EPESTEIN FILES
Fire Bondi and get some indictments of abusers in the EPESTEIN FILES!"

[durablend]

44. You forgot D) LOOK, SQUIRREL!!!!

[Attilatheblond]

60. Omitted on purpose. My dog sometimes reads over my shoulder as I type

[maxsolomon]

33. They thrive on manufactured outrage.

Keeps their voters perpetually agitated and voting Repuke. Why would they stop?

[underpants]

34. So they've moved on from the supposed lyrics?

A couple days ago everyone in RW media was talking about his lyrics. I knew they couldn’t be the songs he sang AT the Super Bowl.

[Kid Berwyn]

35. "I'm glad someone's thinking of the children."

Truer words were never spoken.

[durablend]

46. Their thoughts have never strayed from the children.

[SouthBayDem]

36. Anyone remember the Janet Jackson halftime show?

I was in seventh grade at the time and didn’t watch the SB that year (after the very disappointing showing by my Oakland Raiders the year before, I had obvious reasons to stay away from anything Patriot related). Only by reading the newspaper at the school library the next day did I learn what happened.

Also let’s remember Andy Ogles flat out lied on his resume. Can we really take him at his word on anything?

(Ogles has an open federal criminal investigation on him too.)

[Multichromatic]

65. I think Andy Ogles might be participating in international sex crimes and child trafficking instead of arresting them.

During one GOP debate, candidate Ogles prefaced one answer "as a former member of law enforcement, I worked in international sex crimes, specifically child trafficking...."

This guy sounds like George Santos. A complete lying phoney.

[Gum Logger]

37. Oh, the screaming hypocrisy

Kabuki

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. But Miley Cyrus twerking her dad was wholesome, good ol' American family values okay.

Fucking hypocrites.

[Ilsa]

39. Okay, I was nonchalantly saying, yeah yeah yeah.

But I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I saw the line, "I'm glad somebody is thinking of the children." Sure, it's been used before, but it is so funny (bad funny) in this context.

[Zorro]

40. They'd have gone nuts if they were around

when Elvis hit the TV airwaves.

[Maj. Dude]

43. Some still are around.

And that is certainly why this country is in this situation.

[3825-87867]

54. Some of US who are still around

weren't and aren't the ones who caused the problems and thought Elvis was obscene.
The one who caused the problems were our parents generation so unless you know someone born before 1936, I'd suggest you may be simply regurgitating BS talking points from those today who think they are so pious.

[Talitha]

41. They're outraged, but couldn't take their eyes off the screen.

I bet Dump felt a little twinge while watching at Maga-Lardo, too.

[Maj. Dude]

42. The GrOPers prefer,

younger twerkers.

[GiqueCee]

47. TWERKING?!!?

THAT'S all you got, you despicable *slime mold? And with the same fetid breath you run interference for the most corrupt and depraved monstrosity to ever defile the Oval Office? Both of you, please do the Universe a favor and take a long walk off a short plank.

*Sincere apologies to all Physarum polycephalum for the insulting comparison.

[CaptainTruth]

50. I swear, Republicans are enemies of America, period.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

51. Is "No Twerking" part of "Don't Say Gay" legislation in Red States?

Can one "twerk" in Florida? Asking for a friend.

[MerryBlooms]

53. r&k I ❤️ you Earl

[Cha]

57. Oh, don't ya know... It's Okay for Traitor &

The Epstein Class to Frantically cover Up Evidence of being a Part in the Epstein, Maxwell's "Procuring Underage Girls for their sexual gratification, through a network of sex traffickers".

But, Bad Bunny! That a whole different level of "sexual suggestive conduct" .

Give me a Freaking Break! Excellent way to Point out the Scum Hypocrisy and Failed Distraction from Epstein.

[Figarosmom]

58. Two old men

Saying they got excited watching people dance. Says more about them.

[Evolve Dammit]

61. Grand Old Pedohiles party is doing what they always have. Protecting pedophiles and expressing faux outrage. nt

[stillspkg]

62. Well..

IMHO it is another form of erotic dancing that should be restricted to its own channel. The most vulnerable will pay the price because it can be a way to lure in the naive. "i thought we were just dancing..."

However, the bloviating politicians are jealous they can't do it which is grosser.

[red dog 1]

63. Kick

GOP=GuardiansOfPedophiles

[JohnnyRingo]

64. I'm 73 and I've never twerked.

I'd end up in the hospital but I think it's ridiculous anyway.
Now I may not care for it...but a congressional inquiry into it?! C'mon.

[3825-87867]

66. Shake Shake Shake...

[EndlessMaze]

68. But the disgusting "Tight Ends" commercial

But the disgusting "Tight Ends" commercial gets a pass.

[milestogo]

80. I think that was aimed at 13 year old boys.

Because that is the maturity level of the creatives who came up with it.

[peacebuzzard]

70. These guys don't get out much do they?

I guess they just go to the bars with enormous screens for their sports and belly up to bars and tables with their ballcap buddies and partake in he-man talk. Gross and depressing isn't it. (My apologies to the sportsteams, ballcaps and bar workers.)
Oh yeah, and they probably couldn't dance at all even if they tried; they would look like that stupid Trump Dump Dance.

[mdbl]

73. Twerking is such a security threat!

These people are dumber than stumps.

[sindri]

74. Xenophobia

This is just one more example of the right wing's inability to leave their echo chamber bubble that continues to promote unhealthy attitudes and stereotypes about human sexuality, different cultures, genders, relationships - attitudes that all center on control and hierarchy. To them sexual expression that is free and joyous is perverse and that the opposite (hidden, shameful, and something to fear, etc.) is holy. This is a continuation of rejection of peoples from cultures different from theirs. They reject all new evidence that contradicts their fixed mindset of a romanticized world from their childhood that never existed.

[Clouds Passing]

75. Those dastardly hypocrites are a black hole with no end

[Norrrm]

76. Why don't republicans enjoy the Bad Bunny show?

?w=800&h=684

[Norrrm]

79. Hey, Andy! Here's your wholesome, moral, Christian Pedo Kid Rock promoting sex with 14 y/o girls.
