US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Basil Julep]

>woman comes to vote wearing Trump gear
<They tell her she can't
That can't be legal, can it? This is just going to provoke more people to wear trump merch at the polls, out of spite even.

It looks like a post menopausal woman working in a commercial garage bay. Like there are tool chests and car bay doors in the background. Is this some History or TLC show?

Rogan told her that said demands were not going to happen and Harris pulled out of the planned interview in a huff

He should have pretended to agree and then when the interview started, he conducts the interview as normal. That way, he can still maintain his image as a centrist while Kamala has nothing but lose-lose-lose choices to make:

1. Continues the interview. She then fumbles and says some commie or woke shit. Least damaging since Rogan will also softball the interview, so she just ends up sounding like a dumb politician.
2. Walk out of the interview and complain she was ambushed. Makes her look bitchmade.
3. Call Rogan out for changing the terms in the interview, thus breaking the pretense of being the least bit adaptable.

So, while backing out is not technically the worst decision she could have made, it's far from mitigation because now Trump has an interview and she does not.

The bipartisan fearmongering about Project 2025 is weird, when it's so painfully obvious that nobody on either side has even read a bullet point summary of it.

I've never seen such a perfect example of people mindlessly parroting what everyone else is saying based on zero evidence.

I've seen anti-Project 2025 campaign signs in parts of my town when driving around with the phrase "Google it!" beneath "Project 2025" with a red cross-out thing on it. Just pile it onto the list of the American left's bogeymen.

 

[The Last Stand]

You are missing the point. The point is if we would be having this discussion at all if the scenario was the same but the grandma was wearing Harris gear.

Some states don't allow you to wear party affiliated clothing when voting.

 

[Basil Julep]

I think it's a big shame. I love a country Southern accent just as much as a Long Island cawfee tawk one, the New England "I forgot my r" speak, and even the Midwest nasal affect. Instead we're all adopting annoying California upspeak. Tragic.

California upspeak is really the worst one. Race to the bottom.

>call the Trump campaign weird
>weird is a synonym of queer
>all the gays vote for Trump
What was kamala thinking?

 

[Gar For Archer]

I don't understand why he feels like he has to placate leftoids by offering to have their numb shithead cunt of a candidate on so she can cackle for hours. They already hate his guts, he could remain totally silent and they'd still accuse him of interrupting her or talking over her because they're fucking crazy and live in an alternate reality.

It’s not placating, unless you’re an explicitly partisan show that specifically caters to one side of the political aisle (which Joe Rogan isn’t) if you’re going to interview one candidate I think it‘s only right that you extend the same invitation to the other one as well.

 

[X Prime]

That's not what I said.

What I said was whether we would be having this discussion. I would say no because I doubt the same thing would have happened in terms of someone trying to shame a Harris grandma.

I'm a lifelong Republican voter, but even I can't subscribe to Trump's lawless insistence that all executive power is vested in the President. The Constitution gives the President to lock up political prisoners without trial or ignore immigration law, not fire people who work for him. That's why I'm voting Harris/Walz. Joy! We're not going back!

 

[namelesstacotruck]

It looked like Biden didn't have a shot either in the lead up to 2020, then a thing happened (allegedly).

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

I am genuinely interested in what you are talking about. Biden was ahead in polling and covid and the summer of love had people unhappy with Trump across the politcal spectrum.

Trump overperformed that election but part of the reason the steal was successful was that all kinds of stuff would lead a normal person to reasonably conclude that the average person was sick of Trump and he was just a lesser evil than a Dem.

This time he is ahead for the first time ever peoplr know for a fact now he is the lesser evil.

The only if factors are if the dems have mass imported enough people that actual americans dont matter anymore and if they will cheat (or Republicans dont know to handle the post covid voting paradigm), and if pollsters have finally figured out how to track Trumps polling sense he consistently beats it.

Why should he care about being a centrist? He likes Trump clearly. Kamala wouldn't show the fuck up because she wouldn't do the show HIS way. So fuck her. He aint no cuck. He the Kahn.

No, it isn't legal

Some states don't allow you to wear party affiliated clothing when voting.

Those laws are unconstitutional as hell

Electioneering rules were specifically made for hectoring people verbally, or signs. To keep the line orderly as people go into the polling place. Not for clothing

 

[The Last Stand]

You are missing the point. The point is if we would be having this discussion at all if the scenario was the same but the grandma was wearing Harris gear.

Probably not. I didn't know that was even a rule. I want to say maybe if somebody would be bold enough to enforce it AND take a picture to brag about it.

 

[MirrorNoir]

why assume he's placating? If he was placating he would have acceded to the demands of kamala for it to be scripted. He only benefits by hosting a 3 hour kamala meltdown, making her look bad.

There was long standing rumor that part of the reason why Rogan wouldn't bring Trump onto his show was due to Spotify unofficially banning Rogan from having Trump as a guest. Hence the idea of Rogan having to give Harris her own episode too to preempt Spotify from retaliating against him for having Trump on the show and why Trump agreeing to do it with no restrictions on conversation gave Rogan cover to tell Harris to fuck off when she demanded it be staged with her only getting asked friendly questions and no pushback/hard questions.

 

[The Taco Santo!]

To be fair I think he actually looks pretty decent for his age. Even performing and shit. Conning him into doing political shit like this is elderly abuse, though.

Just tell ol' Willie you'll legalize weed, and this time when he smokes weed on the roof with a presidential family member it'll be allowed. As an aside, I always remembered that as being Jimmy Carter's daughter, but apparently it was his son. Mandela effect, I guess. In my universe it was Amy Carter.

 

[mlanguishi]

If this is late, it's late, harder time today keeping up. But here's Rogan talking about his reaction to it.

LOL spoiler, they trash Harris sooo bad.

Speaking of spooky witchery, watch out for black magic this election!

The (mostly tranny) wackos on r/witchesvsthepatriarchy are invoking the dark arts!

A lot of how millennial and gen z dems spent all their time trying to make sure they stayed cool. Kids weren't cool. Travel was cool. Childfree boards called kids funny things, that would make squares and breeders so mad! Very funny! Crotch goblin lololol so random.

But these people were total marks. They bought into it 100% even though a lot of the original childfree stuff was cope from infertile people and forever-alones. People bought fully into the propaganda for the no-kid life being fun and free and easy, and kids are a drag who make your vagina loose and stop you from having real fun.

Over time, more and more extreme opinions got updooted and no one stopped the retardation from growing constantly more radical. They got more and more bubbled with each other, until they thought lots and lots of people must share their extreme anti-kid beliefs. Suddenly they think everyone will clap if they scream in a baby's face because "fuck them kids."

This bitch screaming in the child‘s face… holy shit. It reminds me of something though:

Spoiler: personal anecdote

I had these neighbors, childfree couple in mid 40s, very active in HOA, kinda uptight when it came to neighborship rules, kids being messy or loud or whatever. Very, very vocal about all the vacations they could do because they dont have kids, how the world is overpopulated anyways, literally everything you read on that childfree subreddit.
One of the houses next door is always sublet to students for a few months. Young women were always the worst for them, if we had young female students there, half of the neighborhood would be dragged into disputes about music, or where the bikes would be put, or whatever shit. I always lowkey joked about them being the typical bitter childfree people coping hard.
They’ve always been known as „those“ neighbors. The one where no matter who else you ask, if they say „those“, you know who they mean.

After a few years I went out to dinner with them once. We drank a bit - at least I drank a bit, they had a lot of wine - and I don’t know how it came to that topic, but suddenly they dumped everything on me. How they tried so long for a baby, and nothing worked. And the many attempts and doctors, and having their hopes built up and broken again and again. Spending so much cash on in vitro and then losing the fetus again, and eventually having to accept that this is never going to happen, their bloodline ends with them.

She will never feel her baby grow in her. They will never get to experience the most beautiful and mind blowing thing that can happen, never get to hold their own child, which is half of each of them but wholly a completely new person. Never hearing the laughter of their children in their home. Just getting old, traveling, consuming, friends and family eventually dying off around them. Nothing after them; nobody who will miss you and carry a piece of you into the future.

I pity these „childfree“ people from the depth of my heart. Not only those who had bad luck biologically, but especially those tricked into falling for the hedonism trap. This is one of the worst fates a person could suffer, and the system is tricking people into choosing this deliberately.
It all needs to be burned down.

rogan was always cagey about trump, he said on lex friedman that he would not humanize the man, he aftet the assignation attempt said he couldnt do security.

rogan took a huuge payday and moved to tx for tax reasons.

trump handwaving away people who basically have to take a job bad mouthing him, with "its okay take the money" really cuts at how things are against him.
