sink? I'm pretty sure that's a toilet bowl. Look there's still a big fat tur... ah no wait.... that's Elon
The guy who was less funny than Andy Dick influenced the US election.
This timeline is dogshit.
I do not want to give meathead Rogan credit for Trump directly because I really don't think his last-minute endorsement was what put Trump over the edge.
What he has done, in some ways, is worse. He helped foster an incredibly toxic atmosphere that got Trump back into power whether or not he directly endorsed him. Rogan could have endorsed Harris at the last minute but he had already done that damage.
I just don't think the endorsement made much of a difference.
I agree that wasn't the last straw but his reach to promote ignorance with utter confidence is stunning. Jenny McCarthy's worst fever dream will have less impact on vaccines than this douche will.
who had previously branded themselves as politically independent but now openly support Trump.
quelle surprise
I hate this stupid fucking timeline.
3 of the 4 horsemen walk in to a bar
PS trump, musk, and Peterson have known ties to shady Russian shit. Don't know about rogan. In other words.
The republic of America welcomes you to glorious Soviet Union.
Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic primary and then voted libertarian
...wat?
the human head can only take so many punches
Brain damage I assume
A few too many punches to the head.
Or too few
I like the way you think!
undercooked bear meat
Damage? Or WORMS?!?!
You don't see the overlapping appeal? It's about authenticity - not policy. Bernie is as authentic as they come. If he's not running, the Libertarian party is a natural second choice - you have to be pretty sure of yourself to stand on a debate stage and argue for letting people die in the street. Trump had that same energy in this last campaign, so in hindsight I'm not surprised that he won over these people.
So, if I authentically offer to kick his nuts up into his stomach that'll be enough for him to him to like me? He has literally zero opinions on what actually might be a good or bad idea for the country, just so long as I say it with gusto?
I do get it, but I find it pretty outlandish. If he was born in Mad Max Fury Road, would he just be perfectly happy being one of those pole guys? They seem very authentic, look like they're having a blast too. "Witness me!"? When I see drug cartels and their quest for money and power, they seem very authentic about it. Very authentically killing everyone who crosses them.
Not gonna lie, that's a problematic value system.
edit: Should also make him damn leery of Trump, if he has any sort of real instincts about people. Rich assholes are not bottomless wells of authenticity.
So, if I authentically offer to kick his nuts up into his stomach that’ll be enough for him to him to like me?
If you promise to pat him on the back if he "takes it like a man?" Probably.
As a bi man with two girlfriends a wife and an enby partner. May you never breed.
WTF is a Sneako?
Someone who puts lifts in his sneakers.
