he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it's bullshit he just said it's a joke or something.

the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn't go everywhere

it's covered in Some more News' Moral panic video

Do Americans not realize how fucked up their country sounds to the rest of us when they do this kind of shit instead of controlling you-know-what?

We absolutely do. Our country has been captured and held hostage by a small minority of selfish morons.

Gun control is tricky; studies that I've seen show that a large majority want "dune kind of gun control" but any discussion of what that entails starts to get less popular in a hurry.

I've found that many otherwise reasonable people get upset really quickly when the subject even gets brought up.

Holtzman shields. They only allow matter to pass when that matter is going slowly enough, making guns useless.

Dune gun control must be Leto's peace!

They probably meant "some".

With his alt-right views, Joe Rogan has essentially become Rush Limbaugh with a traumatic brain injury.

I think you're giving Limbaugh more credit than he deserves.

I believe that as much as the original claim.

The only known official instance of cat litter being placed in school classrooms for potential use by students was in the late 2010s by the Jefferson County Public School District in Colorado, where the 1999 Columbine High School massacre took place. Some teachers were given "go buckets" that contained cat litter to be used as a toilet in an emergency lockdown situation, such as during a school shooting.

moral panics always have a core of truth in them maybe watch the video it's really good, adresses the satanist panic etc.

Here is a video that went viral of a teacher explaianing the "bathroom bucket" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEEP2PfxYSQ If you search for a "Classroom Lockdown Bucket" you will get numerous results of websites selling a bucket filled with emergency supplies that can also be used as a toilet.

Only in America does a bucket need to be marketed as a place to take a shit when toilets aren't available.

The stupidity of Americans is comical. Yet there's pride in the ignorance. Astonishing.
