The Joe Rogan Thread

I cheer Desantis mostly because tRump will unleash the fury on him as soon as he indicates he's in the running. No way those two fucksticks run on the same ticket. Desantis likely knows (and is being advised) that he needs to break from tRump and when that happens it will be glorious.DewieCox said:

The GOP might have a victory party this year but I think they will divide in 2024 between tRump and whomever is the nominee.....which isn't going to be tRump.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

I don't ever see Rogan as a far right extremist. That is a bit much.Lerxst1992 said:Gern Blansten said:

Rogan is a far right extremist who hates the dems.
But rds is much smarter than trump and could think of many ways to crunch the dems and derail stuff like renewable energy. And he'd have much better coattails than rump.0 -
Agree…..a smarter Trump is extremely dangerous. I’m hoping that Liz Cheney will decide to run, that way if the reps win again she is tolerable and at least she hates trump. Most are saying she won’t get the nomination over trump though.DewieCox said:

I'll take Desantis over tRump 24/7 365....Desantis is a fucknut but he's nowhere near as deranged as tRumpDewieCox said:He wants Desantis. Not the W it appears to be.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is having a moment. Pundits are suggesting that the Jan. 6 hearings, by exposing former president Donald Trump’s complicity in a coup attempt, will redound to DeSantis’s benefit in 2024. Already, a poll in New Hampshire shows DeSantis topping Trump. The question, from the standpoint of those of us who have a sentimental attachment to American democracy, is which man is a bigger threat to the republic? I found myself grappling with that issue as I read a long and enlightening profile of DeSantis by Dexter Filkins in the New Yorker.
Filkins notes that, “while Trump, with his lazy, Barnumesque persona, projects a fundamental lack of seriousness, DeSantis has an intense work ethic, a formidable intelligence, and a granular understanding of policy. Articulate and fast on his feet, he has been described as Trump with a brain.” But do we really want a president who will work harder and more intelligently to implement a Trumpian agenda? Is it really better to have a president who is relentlessly focused on right-wing bugaboos such as critical race theory, transgender athletes, undocumented immigrants and “woke corporations” rather than one who is easily distracted into braggadocio about his golf game or his flooring?
Actually, the more I read about DeSantis, the more he reminds me not of Trump but of another disgraced Republican president. One of DeSantis’s Yale baseball teammates told Filkins he is really “smart” but deficient in interpersonal skills: “He has always loved embarrassing and humiliating people. I’m speaking for others — he was the biggest d---k we knew.” A former House colleague said of DeSantis: “He’s a little reclusive, a bit of an odd duck … but he’s just incredibly disciplined.”

Rogan is far from far right, or extreme. I'd put him in more of a libertarian bucket than anything.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0

I do think trump would be less inclined to do everything the GOP wants. He likes to come up with his own stupid ideas….experimenting with disinfectant to cure covid, instigating a violent crowd to storm the capital. But you’re right - DeSantis would be the end of the country for sure. Plus, he could be president for 8 years in a row, perfect amount of time to destroy an entire country.Halifax2TheMax said:

By 2024 it wouldn't take him long at all after Biden gets done with it.Here is my list of new Biden laws to answer KP a few days ago. Of course that never got a response from that member, perhaps TJ can step up to the plate?
1. Best US climate law ever. Yes there is a climate crisis
2. Best semiconductor chip law ever. New USA manufacturing all over the states
3. New infrastructure law. Promised by trump for years and years, delivered by Biden.
4. Best gun safety law in nearly 30 years, supported by a majority of.....Republicans
5. Medicare prescription drug cost decreases. Again promised by both sides for years, delivered by Biden.
6. Minimum tax on corporate profits for companies like Amazon who tell wall street they make billions, but never report taxable income. You probably pay taxes, why shouldn't billionaires?
7. Expanded health care and benefits for Veterans...promised by Republicans forever....delivered by Biden.0 -

One of DeSantis’s Yale baseball teammates told Filkins he is really “smart” but deficient in interpersonal skills: “He has always loved embarrassing and humiliating people. I’m speaking for others — he was the biggest d---k we knew.” A former House colleague said of DeSantis: “He’s a little reclusive, a bit of an odd duck … but he’s just incredibly disciplined.”
By 2024 it wouldn't take him long at all after Biden gets done with it.Here is my list of new Biden laws to answer KP a few days ago. Of course that never got a response from that member, perhaps TJ can step up to the plate?
1. Best US climate law ever. Yes there is a climate crisis
2. Best semiconductor chip law ever. New USA manufacturing all over the states
3. New infrastructure law. Promised by trump for years and years, delivered by Biden.
4. Best gun safety law in nearly 30 years, supported by a majority of.....Republicans
5. Medicare prescription drug cost decreases. Again promised by both sides for years, delivered by Biden.
6. Minimum tax on corporate profits for companies like Amazon who tell wall street they make billions, but never report taxable income. You probably pay taxes, why shouldn't billionaires?
7. Expanded health care and benefits for Veterans...promised by Republicans forever....delivered by Biden.0 -
HughFreakingDillon said:Rogan is far from far right, or extreme. I'd put him in more of a libertarian bucket than anything.Dude endorsed trump over Biden. On what evidence does he base his opinion on? Which of those seven laws Biden signed posted above, some of which trump supported and failed to accomplish, would rogan say is a bad law?
Rogan panders the the right with zero accountability to truth and fact, with a very large audience. That makes him every bit as dangerous as a right wing extremist.0 -

1,2,4 - "Best" ? Did it actually say that in the bill? I don't think so.
3) Trump tried to work with congress on infrastructure and they weren't having it. There was no way in hell the Dems and even some of the Republicans would allow a major law get passed like immigration under Trump. It would empower him even further.
5) Is this similar to Obamacare? We all know how that turned out. Rates went up. You couldn't always keep your doctor like promised and it put some insurance companies out of business or they just got out of the business.
6) Not sure about that one so won't comment.
7) The Vets are going to need more benefits after killing a bunch of them during the botched Afghan withdrawal.0 -

Is it really better to have a president who is relentlessly focused on right-wing bugaboos such as critical race theory, transgender athletes, undocumented immigrants and “woke corporations” rather than one who is easily distracted into braggadocio about his golf game or his flooring?
Actually, the more I read about DeSantis, the more he reminds me not of Trump but of another disgraced Republican president. One of DeSantis’s Yale baseball teammates told Filkins he is really “smart” but deficient in interpersonal skills: “He has always loved embarrassing and humiliating people. I’m speaking for others — he was the biggest d---k we knew.” A former House colleague said of DeSantis: “He’s a little reclusive, a bit of an odd duck … but he’s just incredibly disciplined.”
By 2024 it wouldn't take him long at all after Biden gets done with it.Here is my list of new Biden laws to answer KP a few days ago. Of course that never got a response from that member, perhaps TJ can step up to the plate?
1. Best US climate law ever. Yes there is a climate crisis
2. Best semiconductor chip law ever. New USA manufacturing all over the states
3. New infrastructure law. Promised by trump for years and years, delivered by Biden.
4. Best gun safety law in nearly 30 years, supported by a majority of.....Republicans
5. Medicare prescription drug cost decreases. Again promised by both sides for years, delivered by Biden.
6. Minimum tax on corporate profits for companies like Amazon who tell wall street they make billions, but never report taxable income. You probably pay taxes, why shouldn't billionaires?
7. Expanded health care and benefits for Veterans...promised by Republicans forever....delivered by Biden.
1,2,4 - "Best" ? Did it actually say that in the bill? I don't think so.
3) Trump tried to work with congress on infrastructure and they weren't having it. There was no way in hell the Dems and even some of the Republicans would allow a major law get passed like immigration under Trump. It would empower him even further.
5) Is this similar to Obamacare? We all know how that turned out. Rates went up. You couldn't always keep your doctor like promised and it put some insurance companies out of business or they just got out of the business.
6) Not sure about that one so won't comment.
7) The Vets are going to need more benefits after killing a bunch of them during the botched Afghan withdrawal.'The Art of the Deal' was always fiction. It turns out Trump is a terrible negotiator, that's why nothing got done.I still remember his supporters saying what a great President he would make because he was a businessman and that's what the country needed. Well, they were wrong on that one too.0
