Joe Rogan Endorsed Trump Because Tim Walz Is a 'Liar'

"SNIP.............

“Podcaster Joe Rogan said he publicly endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election because he strongly opposed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, branding the Democratic vice presidential nominee a ‘liar,'” The Independent reports.

“Rogan said he had no intention of weighing in on politics because ‘it’s gross,’ but felt compelled to after news reports emerged revealing Walz had lied about spending time in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square Protests and made confusing statements about his military record.”

Applegrove:

Trump's you come to me charisma lures people's brain to merge with his so people cannot see the big picture. You have to get out of your own mind to see the big picture and be more objective. But people stuck in Trump brain frequency doesn't stop Rogan from getting them to look at Tim Walz from on high and judge him for two or three exaggerations over a full lifetime when Trump lies all the time. Rogan is teaching Americans to do it. It is like the two men are in two separate worlds in peoples' minds. Trump lied about everything. Walz is being scapegoated as the liar in this election year.

I'm talking basic facts like where a famous monestary is.

The internet is full of bs but I didn't think time and/or space would be attacked. Is there is nothing we plebs are allowed to share together? The BS on morality and politics and trust in government has been going on for a long time. But our sense of time or place? This baited in otherwise innocuous pleasant non political OPs? That is new. Are we not allowed to share a sence of time or geographic location with others? A shared sense of anything?

Someone has started a campaign for us to not trust

the internet, reality, our eyes in novel most basic way. I have seen numerous false posts on the internet in the last week suddenly: the location of a famous monestory, the date of some event. Very few before. These are the most obvious of fake locations or way off dates and the like. Our sence of space and sense of time, thus history and science (space and time), are being F'ed with. Not just our politics or our sense of right and wrong. Time and space are the basics of our perception.

Then again maybe it is AI that is clueless on space and time.

This meme brings something to mind.

Applegrove: Ever since Burger King came out with creepy Burger King character on tv ads have increasingly gone for disgust to sell product (good feeling are probably overdone in ads and lose their effectiveness, bad feelings assure the product name will be remembered. Think Skittles ads with a rasta man milking a giraffe who is eating a rainbow or a red haired doughed teenage boy (just a description of the boy so you'll remember the ad) getting Skittlepox and a teenage girl pulling one skittle off his skin (does she eat it - I can't remember)). Maybe those progressive ads we see and love are meant to impress and disgust different populations at the same time. I see and and and think great mixed race couples are being normalized. A racist sees the same ad and thinks fuck this mixed race couples are being normalized. Works for gay couples and drag queens in ads too. I'm sure other issues. Does this lead to a backlash in voters as well as happy people who are thrilled to vote Democrat? A backlash of rural voters who otherwise would not see how fast the world is changing? Would the marketing departments at big businesses know this? I think so. Don't know what's to be done.

Elon Musk is poised to cut funding for rural broadband services - which would potentially benefit his own internet

'Unprecedented': Trump ally reportedly poised to divert billions into his own company

Elon Musk is poised to cut funding for rural broadband services – which would potentially benefit his own internet service provider.

https://www.rawstory.com/unprecedented-2670238566/

Applegrove:

Republicans were searching for a way to make infrastructure broadband a bad thing during the election. They came up with young people and others moving to rural areas because they can do their jobs from afar will increase the cost of housing.

Then they morphed that into the Haitian legal immigrants working in Springfield were putting stress on the systems in the town without mentioning the growth they brought with them.

I was online for the first part of that discussion on the DU when they were trying anti-broadband takes and now I think it might have been MAGA AI. I looked for that discussion back in the spring but could not find it. I don't see a search function on DU.

In the early 1990s Diplomacy became about trade foremost.

The diplomatic service was now 90% focused on sales and money. Now we are seeing that same takeover of health with economics.

I think I am getting throttled on the amalgamation

sites I go to to get content. I know I am not alone. Most of the stories I see are often 2 days old. I guess the algorithms have changed. Don't expect much in the way of OPs from me. I'm trying to dig but not finding much.

Pierre Poilievre blames Trudeau for all the things Russia has done.

Here he is blaming Trudeau for anti NATO riots in Montreal. How does he feel about Putin starting immigrant stranger danger, fear of vaccines, anti femimism, beligerant christianity, etc All things the Russians have flooded the internet with. He mentions Iran but not Russia or that Russia was meeting with Hamas before Oct 7, 2023. They also started the lgbtq backlash.

"SNIP...........

“You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed,” Poilievre began his response to Trudeau in a lengthy post on X.

“This is what happens when a Prime Minister spends nine years pushing toxic woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine status, religion, region, age, wealth, etc.”

...........SNIP"

They are fighting for us so Russia is depleted and Poland is not the next place to be invaded.

That would mean NATO would be involved directly. Looks like that may have worked. Russia is relying on North Koreans to fill out their ranks. The Ukrainian people 1/2 want to negotiate a peace now. I hope for peace. But this later Biden give on Ukrainians being allowed to direct their missiles way inside Russia is so Ukraine has a few bargaining chips when they do negotiate with Russia. IMHO.

And then those unemployed 'woke' former government workers will not

be able to donate to the Democratic Party. Artificial Intelligence will only make unemployment worse for the educated. Again fewer Democratic Donors.
