Conservatives amp up their mission to MAGA-fy America by overshadowing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance with Turning Point USA’s own D-list halftime show, and Michael Kosta connects the dots between Trump’s call for Republicans to "nationalize" voting and the president's never-ending claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Plus, Troy Iwata explains why Trump’s pitch to cancel the midterms is peak comedy.I've called "the president's never-ending claim that the 2020 election was stolen" the Big Lie.
I'm glad Michael Kosta and Troy Iwata can find the humor in it. I can't; I'm too scared to laugh.I'm recycling my reaction from Jane Mayer describes 'The Big Money Behind the Big Lie' on MSNBC.And now he has an Administration dedicated to it.All of this reminds me why I think calling the idea that the election was stolen the Big Lie doesn't go far enough.The delusion has continued to spread, infecting a lot of candidates in today's elections. Ugh.Personally, I'd rather call it Trump's dangerous delusion, his fixed belief that the election was stolen from him despite all evidence, which I see as related to his vulnerability to conspiracy theories, but "the Big Lie" is the established phrase used by CNBC and others, so I'm calling it that instead. It's a lie, too.Mayer's reporting shows that Trump's delusion is not just dangerous but contagious. It's bad enough that there is one pandemic running around; we don't need another.
Kosta opened with Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl and so did Stephen Colbert, asking Not Into Bad Bunny? MAGA Halftime Has Kid Rock | Gen Z Olympic Mascots | Help Coldbert Plow Chicago.
Kid Rock is set to headline an unofficial Super Bowl halftime show for conservatives who don't like Bad Bunny, the mascots for the 2026 Winter Olympics have been revealed, and Chicago residents can visit http://Chicagoshovels.org to vote to name their new snow plow after Stephen Colbert.My geology students do an exercise where they shade in the United States. I always instruct them to include Puerto Rico just to drive home the point that it's part of the U.S. If the NFL didn't disable embedding, I'd share Bad Bunny's halftime show on Flag Day. Instead, I'm looking forward to seeing how many Emmy nominations it earns this July. Bad Bunny has already earned two GRAMMYs this week. Follow over the jump for his acceptance speeches. Yes, this is now an awards show post.
First, BAD BUNNY Wins BEST MÚSICA URBANA ALBUM | 2026 GRAMMYs.
BAD BUNNY delivers an acceptance speech after winning the GRAMMY for BEST MÚSICA URBANA ALBUM for "DEBÍ TIRAR MÁS FOTOS" at the 2026 GRAMMYs.Listen to those ovations! Kosta and Colbert didn't mention Bad Bunny's speech, and they probably should have. It probably give Donald "Hoover Harding Cleveland" Trump and his xenophobic followers even more reason to dislike him. To that, I say "There is only one thing more useful in politics than having the right friends, and that is having the right enemies." Congratulations on making the right enemies.
Next, BAD BUNNY Wins ALBUM OF THE YEAR For 'DEBÍ TIRAR MÁS FOTOS' | 2026 GRAMMYs Acceptance Speech.

That's a wrap for today. I already have tomorrow's post following up on 'Sinners,' 'KPop Demon Hunters,' and 'Wicked' — movie musicals at the GRAMMYs partially written. Stay tuned.
