I’m disappointed. Haven’t been to a good satanic ritual in a while. She could have really brought it. Oh well, the singing and dancing was really good regardless.
Yarrow
She did a good job. It wasn’t my favorite halftime show, which will probably always be Prince, but I enjoyed it. I like Gaga a lot.
Roger Moore
He will claim either:
A) that was a Sataic ritual
B) she had to give up her ritual because he revealed her plan.

@? Martin:
If she’d sacrificed Alex Jones to Trump, I’d have been satisfied with that.
Yarrow
Bill Nye! Stupid commercial but fun to see him.
Suzanne
Okay, the Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg/Lion commercial for T-Mobile was the best one.
Askew
It was a fine Super Bowl performance, but she really suffers from not having enough iconic songs to make an interesting half-time show. But anything was going to be a step down after Beyonce’s performance.

Well, of course it does – not only do they hate Lady Gaga because she didn’t accept their recent invitation to their basement to watch crap anti-Hillary videos and play ‘Cards against Humanity’ but also football is a communist plot instituted by the libtards and only liked by girls.
Football hasn’t been good since the days of that vibrating steel whatchamacallit and the plastic players.

This might be a smidge too early to call, but:
The Patriots win due to the Electoral College. Spicer insists that the popular win for the Falcons was the result of touchdown fraud.

Eh, that’s sorta true, but Ryan has lost them field position by taking unnecessary sacks at the worst possible time on several drives.

Maybe Wednesday.
