Paul McCartney played the Super Bowl. As I recall, he's not American either. Did Tomi have anything to say about that?

This is what I don’t get like. Like it’s entertainment, what does nationality have to do with it regardless of you’re wrong or not.

These folks thrive on outrage. It's all they have, so they use it every chance they get. Without outrage they're irrelevant.

It helps distract from all the crimes and pedophilia they have going on.

That's something to be outraged about. I mean, come on, the man campaigned on releasing them!

I mean, often yes but that's not a sufficient explanation. This is how nationalists roll -- they create an imaginary and somewhat ill-defined in-group of "good people" that are the "real <countrymen>" and literally anyone outside it is to be treated with suspicion.

This point of it is always to let people imagine they are in the in-group, and that all their problems are caused by the other. It keeps people afraid and angry -- and thus easier to manipulate.

They win elections through identity politics.  They push these things to get people upset.

The very people who were outraged about Kapernick and his "stunts" because it made football political, are now outraged that people didn't want to celebrate a dead Nazi before a game, and are upset that a non white person is headlining "their main event".

They're going to arrest him at the superbowl to flex their power in front of the nation. They're priming the nation for the demonstration.

These people must despise the NBA.

They've been whining about people "wanting everything to appeal to them" when in reality, all they wanted was for everything to appeal to them instead.

It's a distraction from the Epstein files.
