I don’t know how much it still happens but he also would get various experts in their fields, but also just argue against them in that field.

Like he would get a top immunologist talking about how virus’s and vaccines work and how people should get them and he would mention he saw on Facebook how injecting gorilla semen in your rear end has the same effect.

one of the remarkable things i remember is that right at the beginning of the pandemic when a lot of people didn't know what to make of it and weren't taking it seriously, he did take it seriously and started having epidemiologists on. but, as is typical, he also has an ear for all the alternative nonsense so that evolved to him listening to anti-vaxxers and experts who claimed letting the sun shine on his ballsack so he could get vitamin d was the key to immunity

Oh also: at the gym I go to, there's always a dude on a treadmill who is watching Joe Rogan videos. A few days ago I went to take a piss after my run and when I went into the locker room bathroom, I could hear someone pounding and struggling to get out of one of the stalls. They were swearing up a storm and had seemingly somehow locked themselves in, until they stopped for a minute, calmly slid the latch, and walked out. It was the Joe Rogan guy. I wonder how long he was in there before he tried unlatching the lock. I've been thinking about that every time I've seen him the last few days. Anyway, that's a guy who likes Joe Rogan.

The best description of Rogan I ever heard was that he's someone who fervently believes the last thing someone told him, regardless if it contradicts what he has been told prior.

The alt-right figured this out in late 2014/early 2015 and proceeded to line up an endless string of shitheads like Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones and the like to flood Joe's show schedule with poo poo so that the last person Joe talked to was always a right wing shithead and they slowly psy-op'd him into becoming a right wing shithead too and then COVID was the last hammer strike on the chisel that just completely collapsed his facade of being anything but a right wing shithead.

Sen. Joe Manchin, a critical swing vote in the closely divided Senate, said Wednesday that from now on, he will only vote to confirm nominees who have the support of at least one Republican senator.

“I’m going to be very honest with everybody, if my Democratic colleagues and friends can’t get one Republican vote, don’t count on me. You can’t make it bipartisan, don’t count on me,” said the West Virginia Democrat who has announced his retirement

I mean nobody counts on Joe Manchin, so

There is a clip that explains how loving dumb Rogan is. Remember that dipshit who claimed he got brain problems from a concrete milkshake to the head? His story was absolute blatant bullshit that was utterly in Rogan's wheelhouse of vaguely knowing about fighting injuries and how they are treated medically. Rogan still went along with it despite obviously knowing it was utter horseshit.

Rogan can be out thought by a bowel movement.

The problem is he frequently allows people onto his show that are absolutely against LGBTQ and womens issues as well and openly pretends there's some sort of 'both sides' to it.

And he's absolute trash because of it.

There are numerous examples. He was all in on bigfoot and poo poo like the skinwalker ranch until he actually went on a quest to find bigfoots and visit the ranch and saw that it was all bullshit. Most of us don't have to go this far to spot bullshit, but most of us aren't that gullible.

Again a quick reminder that Joe Rogan caught COVID, tried to fight it with Ivermectin because he had a bunch of cranks and quacks on his show in the early days of the pandemic who spouted bad and insane medical advice, nearly died from it because Ivermectin is a dewormer and not an anti-viral, and when he scraped by by the skin of his teeth, credited Ivermectin with his survival, and suddenly cases of people poisoning themselves with Ivermectin skyrocketed.

For a guy who talks a lot about 'evolution' and 'science', he is the perfect example of smaller animals kowtowing to larger ones.

That was really funny. Dude went from “It’s not a big deal, the flu kills more people every year. If you have muscles like me you can’t die from covid” to “I have covid and I took literally every single treatment possible so that I don’t die.”

I took my cat to the vet yesterday and there was a gentleman, much older than me, wearing a Vietnam veteran hat. I thanked him for his service and asked him what branch and he said Air Force. I said I was sorry and he repeated Air Force louder and I said that I'd heard him I was just sorry that he was in the Air Force. I shared that I was retired Navy and the next thing out of his mouth was, "I don't understand what is going on with our military these days and where they're getting all of these woke officers from."

Then he went on to complain about the secretary of defense that was missing for a week and nobody knew where he was. The guy also told me he retired in 1984, so he clearly has his finger right on the pulse of the current military culture.

Shortly after that they came and checked him and his wife out so he could get back home to his newsmax

I do think the thread has pointed out where things were very similiar with Obama in 2012, and also I think things were somewhat similiar with Bush in 2004. Not saying it isn't worrying, but also it's not uncommon.

Yeah this is where I'm at, the top-lines are showing 10-15% of respondents not choosing either D or R for the presidential race but 100% D/R buy-in for the downticket races (except for the NV poll where there are multiple match-up options), it seems like it has the shape of a polling pool that feels comfortable keeping distance with the incumbent for now. The vast majority of that outstanding 10-15% will eventually pick a candidate, and I'd be interested in knowing if those people picked the R or D downticket candidate since that is a predictor for their eventual choice.

Biden should probably be (and probably is) cognizant of an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with him among his voter base, particularly the diplomacy surrounding the I/P conflict. Maybe there isn't a lot he feels he can do immediately about it.
