The right-wing organization also seems to object to Bad Bunny performing in Spanish.

    Who are they gonna parade out, Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice?

    Edit:

    Fewer than two weeks away, the right-wing alternative still hasn’t announced a single performer.

    lol

      Stephen Miller and that ice twat decked out in their nazi leather collection slinging a synchronised all male dance routine or some mad shit.

      Is there anywhere I can put a bet on it being the most repressed nazi nonsense I’ve ever seen?

      Is it going to have a guest appearance by Vance, who will then openly grab her ass and make out on stage in front of Vance’s wife, too? Because that would be both hilariously gross and peak comedy.

          There’s already a leaked phone call (apparently Candace Owens leaked it lol) of Erika here bragging about how much money she’s making touring on Kirk’s death . 11 days after he was killed.

          Lmfao holy shit. Do you have a direct link to the post?

          Also: frankly I don’t have any sympathy whatsoever for Usha. She, a non-white person, chose to marry and then stay with a psychopathic white supremacist. She chose to support him in becoming part of a regime whose goals were nakedly apparent. The fact that she quietly put up with all of that is effectively a tacit endorsement of the whole shebang. She knew what she was doing. And the white supremacists aren’t gonna give her a pass because she’s (currently) married to Vance. This falls squarely in leopards eating faces territory.

    That Turning Point USA halftime show is going be be hilarious.

    I’m just picturing random big name country star, a drunk Billy Ray Cyrus, a light up christian cross, with sparkler fireworks coming off it, being lowered down from the ceiling as the lights dim, then out walks Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice to do a country rap rendition of the TMNT - Ninja Rap proving once and for all we are in hell.

    We should have counter-programming for Trump’s State of the Union. Can you imagine the fury from POTUS if his prime-time speech on all the networks got stepped on by Beyonce’ on TBS?

    Puppy Bowl but it’s all feral German Shepherds? No, that might actually be entertaining.

    It’s probably just “We Are Charlie Kirk” on a loop for fifteen minutes

      Yeah. It’s been a fairly common thing for decades. Counter programming during the halftime, encouraging people to flip channels. Puppy bowl on the animal channel is probably the most famous (and innocuous)
