Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

I don't think you know what the Commonwealth is Donny or who is already in it...

President Donald Trump suggested that the United States could join the British Commonwealth on Friday in a post to Truth Social, his social media platform.

The president shared an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.

"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report.

Even dips*** right-wing mouthpiece Joe Rogan thinks the trade war with Canada is stupid.

Quote:
Speaking with comedian Michael Kosta on the March 14 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience [via the National Post], Rogan complained, "Why are we upset at Canada? This is stupid."

He continued, "We gotta become friends with Canada again. This is so ridiculous."
Quote:
"I don't know what's happening with their politics, I just want America and Canada to get along. I think it's ridiculous," he said. "I don't really think they should be our 51st state. There. I said it."

Also, it appears that none of the major news outlets have reported on the orange s***stain's latest Canada comments, not even Fox News. The only thing I came across was a short CNN piece from earlier today which fact-checked his statements as complete horses***. Perhaps the U.S. media is finally starting to tune out the absurd rhetoric? One can only hope.

During the Covid lockdown, Rogan was saying that Canada was a dictatorship and needed to be liberated. The guy's opinion changes daily depending on what kind of psychedelic drugs he is taking at the time.

He's a vapid empty bag that is continually filling and dumping opinions. I'm not sure he has any convictions at all, really. Just whatever way the strongest wind is blowing.

He's a comedian and entertainer. Anyone on either side putting serious stock into his takes should probably question their own sensibilities.

Just listen for the entertainment or if you like a guest. Otherwise, there is literally no reason to listen or pay attention.

It's timing but he does 3 hours interviews unedited and unscripted per day with interesting people when people wanted to hear it back in 2010.

lmao you are not describing the podcast back in 2010. It was a stoner/mma/comedy podcast. And unless 2010 had 60+ days that year it wasn't per day.

The most offensive think I've ever read on the 25+ years Calgarypuck has existed is when Cecil Terwilliger said well"his (Joe Rogan)stand up is phenomenal"

In case y'all missed this last summer, Joe Rogan's standup got buried by this viral video picking it apart:



The same youtuber did a follow up a couple of weeks ago chronicling how Joe got here

The only good thing Rogan ever did was News Radio and it really has nothing to do with him.
