- Liberals actually had their own Joe Rogan for years. His name was Joe Rogan.People saying Harris should have done Joe Rogan are missing the point. That wouldn’t have helped her. Liberals need to BUILD THEIR OWN JOE ROGAN. Somebody who can speak to the people he speaks to, without being a guy who wants to kiss ass to billionaires like Elon Musk.
- Being the first president to sue nuns for being nuns probably didn't help.Barack Obama: "I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter."
00:00 - HM the King grabs one of his angry and weeping subjects and pulls him close. Monarchy at its most sublime.
- Go back and tell your 2005 self that the R candidate will be closing down his campaign w Arabs in Dearborn and that the Ds will be campaigning w Cheneys.
- It’s completely disorienting for me to watch Joe Rogan and ***Charlie Sheen*** have a rightly ordered moral response to Kirk’s killing in a way US academia cannot.Joe Rogan has a raw moment on air as he struggles to process the news that Charlie Kirk is dead. This clip takes you back to the moment we all first heard the devastating news. Rogan buries his face in his hands, stares off to the side, visibly shaken. This goes on for two
00:00 - Adolf Hitler? The free speech champion?
00:53This is the first time I’ve heard the theory that the Holocaust wasn’t conducted with gas chambers but with free speech zones. - Fwiw, I think someone publicly and verbally forgiving their husband's assassin in front of 75,000 people and in front of millions more on TV is prob a net gain for American society.
- Remember when we were trying to cancel Joe Rogan for no real reason whatsoever? That was 87 years ago.
- Obama sued and tried to shut down a group of nuns called “Little Sisters of the Poor” in 2013 . So yah, you have seen something like it.Trump is shutting down Christian ministries. Ministries I've supported may have to close their doors. I've never seen anything like this. worldrelief.org/pr-world-relie…
- Make him do it.SCOOP: Trump would veto the legislation introduced by Sens. Maria Cantwell and Sen. Chuck Grassley that would limit the president's authority to unilaterally impose tariffs, according to a White House statement seen by Axios trib.al/dfxwdtN
- “Why won’t the guy we called Hitler in 2004 say something about the guy we’re calling Hitler in 2024” is kinda how we ended up here isn’t it…The silence of George W Bush during the most consequential election in our lifetime is indefensible.
- One observation after 5 days in New England: it is, even in 2025, WAY more theocratic than the South. Almost every mainline church had banners or posters proclaiming political messages. One rarely if ever sees this in the South. Political religion is in New England’s soul.
- The sitting president said Mitt Romney was going to re-enslave Black people.
