Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Joe Rogan's existence lowers the quality of life for a significant number of people.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He is trying to fill the vacuum of space left by the outing of Alex Jones.

There's lots of money in it for him if he gets to that status.

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You need substance to fill a vaccum.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He is our future Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

[–] Hominine@lemonine.hominine.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

Need to get this stitched and on a wall.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I miss the days when he just tried to be Art Bell.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 94 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Do any of these fuckers have any idea what "fraud" is? Or the first clue what evidence of it would look like?

I swear to God, they think they can just say it over and over, and will it into being true. Fuck them forever. Never vote Republican, and always vote.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joe Rogan got famous playing an idiot that can't understand basic shit on a TV show...

And then we all found out he wasn't acting.

He's unapologetically ignorant but for some reason thinks he knows more than everyone else.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And yet, he is still not the worst person that was on Newsradio

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Andy Dick: the worst person in a set of people that also contains Joe Rogan.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 year ago

Considering trump lost over 60 court cases for not being able to produce a single shred of evidence of election fraud, I’m afraid the answer is no, the republicans do not in fact have any idea what facts are. And they love to cry about it.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They know they're lying, but if they say it enough that all their followers believe it, it doesn't have to be true.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

I was pondering this only this morning. How cynical they have to be to lie so blatantly and know their followers will eat it up. And the contempt they must have for their base of idiots, knowing how easily they are led.

[–] Redditsucks1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, they know, but only because they just became "woke".

[–] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure a lot of them know what fraud is, unless it's more of a Kevin Malone situation where he has to have insider trading explained multiple times "because it sounds a lot like what I do every day"

[–] downpunxx@kbin.social 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Kari Lake and all her adherents are cunts. Joe Rogan and every single one of his fans are cunts. This isn't rocket science.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

It's cunt science!

Joe “knuckle-dragger” Rogan and his political takes. He keeps in contact with Alex jones who openly brags about radicalizing him. Several episodes of the Knowledge Fight podcast have shown this.

[–] czech@kbin.social 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its amazing how much "fraud" they claim when they speak publicly yet they have nothing to say when they are under oath in a court room.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

pErJuRy TrAp!!1

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Do people still listen to Rogan?

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He is popular with the type of crowd that thinks WWE is real.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, you mean the Undertaker really isn't a zombie?

[–] Davel23@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Pfft, what are you, an idiot? Of course he's not a zombie.

He's a revenant.

Millions listened before Spotify, but they aren't helping.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sadly he's the most listened to podcaster in the US according to some metrics.

who else is gonna stroke their egos for no reason

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"I'm just asking questions!"

[–] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, let's get our news and opinions from stand up comics. What could go wrong. Fuck experts. Next time I want medical advice I'll listen to a podcast.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He was a worse comic than pundit

[–] poorsocialskills@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

Conservatives monetized lying to people and ginning up exploitable rage. Rogan just wants his share of the take.

[–] whiskeypickle@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago
[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

The only “real fraud” in her election was Kari Lake.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Joe Rogan is back acne in human form. Just like Alex Jones.

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yawn. Wake me up when there is actual tangible provable evidence of voter fraud. You know, besides the 2 examples of voter fraud for Trump out of 160 million votes in the 2020 election.

[–] pozbo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the evidence is on the heisenberg laptop which we can know the evidence it contains OR know the location of, but never both factors at once.

[–] Biscuit303@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No all the missing votes are definitely on Hunter Biden's laptop

[–] ChokingHazard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The real fraud is she got too many votes.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Joe needs to lay off the drugs. You could hide a kayak under those bags around his eyes.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We banned that bot site wide for those wondering wth that was.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Still seeing it on kbin

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And I’m sure Broprah is positively pissing himself with happiness as seemingly all GOP lapdogs are when praised by their handlers.

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rogan is a stochastic terrorist and enemy of people who value the rule of law, freedom and democracy.

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Worse. He’s a fucking selfish dick that’s willing to sell out the stability of democracy for a piece of paper.

Edit. Actually what you typed is worse. Agree that Rogan is a POS.

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, but this is deep into stupid territory.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Apparently, fear… is not a factor for her. /s
