Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 was fine before 2016. How times change.
Was he though? He used to believe the moon landings were fake.
I had a family member try to get me to listen in 13 and even then it was bullshit. I really never listened to it but I'm guessing it just became more blatant as time moved on
Yeah the fact that he kept saying Alex Jones "was a good friend" and what Alex was doing was "a bit" made me turn him off back in 2015.
I listened a little bit when he interviewed Clarence the mushroom guy? I'm sure somebody can make sense of that. Lol. How he presented then was that he was a meathead that just wanted to understand and was willing to ask the dumb questions. I heard some of his other stuff around that time and it followed that same feeling. Heck, I even watched the Elon musk interview when he smokes pot. He was never bright or understood anything well enough to honestly judge that he took a side (he's been hit in the head a lot) but hearing what he's saying now is crazy. He probably still doesn't understand that he's taken a side. He probably is just within the target audience of Fox News and there have been studies about its efficiency in delivering propaganda in a way that you need professional help to counter. He's just another useful idiot. That's how that side works apparently.
