Yes mate, amazing how you guys are soooo right all the time. I wonder how ol' Liz is feeling this morning. The news anchor from the ABC, etc etc.

Not all the time, no. On this one its clearly the case though.

If you like Rogan more power to you mate, hell I still listen when there's someone I'm interested in on. But we can no longer pretend he's making any sense - the other day he said he really started swinging to team Trump when he realised what a liar Tim Walz was.

I mean, come on - going to Trump coz the other side has a guy who lies. Thats peak internet

Did he really say that? That's bizarre. Trumps got more documented lies than even Lavrov. Truth clearly doesn't matter, believe fantasies. Guns make you safer, America has the best health care system, climate change is a hoax, vaccines are killers, HCQ works for covid, Trump is a good leader. Fantasy land stuff.

 

[carltonchelsea]

Mate, never been better. Certainly better than ol' Kyle. His melt over Rogan was a thing of beauty.

Sorry, I missed all that, do you have a description or something that I can see of what I’m supposed to be concerned about?

Worried about the prospective VP being a liar. Endorses Trump for prez



Even funnier when you consider the shit Trump said to Joe's face when he came on the podcast - I never said "lock her up" just one example.

Just lol

 

[kranky al]

I love this. Soooooo, the Democrats the last 4 years......?

What about them?

They lost an election.

They didn’t whine about stolen election, start heaps of court cases, lose them all and never provide any of the proof they said they had

They never encouraged insurrection





Meanwhile…..

I think maybe the comparison with the impressive person that is jd Vance might have swayed him that either she is t in charge or that she has poor judgement in choosing a habitual liar who is such an obvious Achilles heel.

They only allow Ukraine to use long range weapons in some crazed attempt to start ww3 , and allow some unknown drone program to terrify people across the nation.

Maybe he should have said that then instead of saying it was due to Walz's lies (half of which weren't lies anyway, the "lying" about his rank being a particularly hilarious example)?

This is a "what he really meant was..." beyond even the usual Trumpian proportions mate

or that she has poor judgement in choosing a habitual liar who is such an obvious Achilles heel.

As I said, worried about a liar being VP while Rogan himself chooses a habitual liar for POTUS. One that spent pretty much his whole appearance on the show lying to Joe's face

Again, the podcast is still good value occasionally but we can't pretend poor old Joe is making much sense any more. Objectively, his professed logic is completely shot.

How are the drones "terrifying" people exactly?

Serious question btw, I don't get it at all. I saw a drone hovering over my street this week, I didn't immediately think "shady government program" but maybe there's a reason people in the US seem to be?

I’m seeing these crazy videos all the time out of bj and other states and the commenters are saying it’s terrifying them !

Ha, about what I expected - I have no idea about what's happening or why but trust me, its very bad and I'm very scared!

Just the default in America now.

That’s cos of Biden and Kamala’s total lack of competence as leaders.

 

[Gethelred]

It should probably go without saying that the following are threads about the following individuals and events on this forum:

• Kamala Harris
• Joe Rogan
• Joe Biden
• the Ukraine war

... and that this thread is about none of them.

Shocking, I know.

Yes mate, if there's one thing that people associate with Biden and Harris its conspiracy theories, unlike that noted grounded rationalist Donald Trump

I’m seeing these crazy videos of people eating dogs and cats and flat earth and vaccines causing autism and videos of footy jumpers with anchors and videos of videos of Betamax being alpha.
Sigh.
Why do we live in this timeline with these halfwits?!

The guy who has openly praised Hitler and spoke positively about a potential race war suddenly isn't too comfortable when violence might happen to them personally.

Last I checked, Russia invaded Ukraine not the other way around.

If Ukraine had invaded Russia you would have an excellent point.

But they didn’t and you don’t.

 

[Not Important]

pretty much sums it up for me. the concern is that 2025 has the portents of being much worse.

I still think the risk (while real) is blown out of proportion. Project 2025 has a budget of $22 million while federal spending in the 2020 election was $14 billion.

Project 2025 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

2020 election to cost $14 billion, blowing away spending records

The total cost of the 2020 election will nearly reach an unprecedented $14 billion, making it the most expensive election in history by far.

I agree with that.

The rightwing thinktank behind Project 2025 – cast as a playbook for Donald Trump’s second presidential term – was scheduled to brief Australian ambassador to the US, Kevin Rudd, on the manifesto months before last year’s election, documents reveal.

The Heritage Foundation was due to be hosted at the Australian embassy in Washington early last year to present its 2025 presidential transition project, which features a detailed conservative blueprint to overhaul US democracy.



A run-sheet for the 8 February event was included in correspondence released under freedom of information laws, which also revealed Australian officials discussed arranging meetings for a top Heritage Foundation adviser during his visit to Australia in June.

The high-level interactions with the Heritage Foundation suggest Project 2025 was being treated seriously in Canberra and show the effort Rudd was making to build ties with conservative figures who could play a role in a second Trump administration.

The 920-page policy playbook at the heart of Project 2025 – titled Mandate for Leadership – became a major US election issue after Democrats began describing it as Trump’s secret agenda for a second term in the Oval Office.

The document includes proposals to dramatically expand presidential power and make it easier to replace civil servants with political appointees, restrict access to abortion pills, reverse Biden-era climate policies, ban pornography and enforce mass deportations.>>>
