This is too good about the TPUSA halftime show. [View all]

It was recorded at an "unknown" venue at the University Of North Dakota at Grand Forks. At their basketball practice arena - a place that only holds some 3,000. On a "unknown date". Previously recorded. It wasn't even live. And it was weeks ago. They had this already filmed. There's also an unverified rumor going around Xitter that over half of the "6 million viewers" that they're claiming are nothing more than paid bots.

For weeks they had been promising a venue the size of State Farm Stadium in Arizona or Nissan Stadium in Nashville. They couldn't deliver on that. They couldn't even deliver on the 100,000 claims they shit talked on Fox and Newsmax about this. Only 200 people showed up, that's right. 200. As many as could fit in a 737 Max 8.

It's all about projection on this crowd when in reality, nobody really cares. The TPUSA halftime show got utterly destroyed in the ratings by an estimated, 1/3 of the country watching Bad Bunny. TPUSA is a pathetic sham grifting organization, but we all knew that. This entire exercise was nothing more than an overblown and glorified trolling operation. But of course, they're promising on Fox that they'll be continuing their temper tantrum again next year.
