Russia has been promoting itself a lot in Italy over the past few years.

And this is why Joe Rogan should be nowhere near the debate. Dude is a gullible man-child with the critical thinking skills of a teenager.

"They've arrested people for lighting forest fires up there," Rogan said on the latest episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" while talking about Portland, Oregon. "They've arrested left-wing people for lighting these forest fires, air-quote 'activists.' This is also something that's not being widely reported, you know, that people have actually been arrested for lighting fires up there."

Sorry, did we actually need a reason why Joe Rogan shouldn't be hosting a debate? I assumed that everyone had just written that idea off as laughable ab initio.

I heard Sam Harris say it (“Trump is a poor person’s idea of a rich person”) but not sure if he was quoting someone else.

Question: why didnt the White House go through with the plan to mail 650 million masks to Anerican house holds?

Answer: the post office doesnt charge enough per parcel so they dont make money. And mail in ballots are a scam.

Wtf?

I'd love to have a lunch with Sam and John. I adore them.

To be fair, I saw an article where a guy, who appeared to be a minority, admitted to starting a fire with a Molotov cocktail.

Joe’s just stretching the facts a wee bit. Lol.

Today's presser sounds like a doozy.

Yeah, there was a Hispanic guy that lit some fires, got arrested, was out on bail, then used some Molotov cocktails to light more. At which point he was arrested again and transported to a hospital for a mental evaluation. There was no ideological connection from what I read and he may just be a pyromaniac.

It's also worth mentioning that they were small fires that were extinguished.

Didn't see if this was posted, but this is some pretty creepy, troubling stuff regarding education, racism and glossing over the darker parts of history:

Joe should retract that next podcast

I never listened to him before spotify picked him up.. but now I do every day. Do I listen to hear what he says? #### no. He's a funny guy and someone I'd love to have a beer with. But he's kind of unsophisticated and dull, and not someone who i take seriously. He is a great conversationalist though, and has some amazing guests that I DO want to hear and take seriously. Like Elon and Sam Harris

It's fascism all the way down with this presidency.

The issue of patriotic education for a strong national identity that he raises is a genuinely interesting one. There is no doubt that teaching patriotism results in stronger national identity, but it conflicts with recognition of the harms a nation does, especially to marginalized groups. It is in some ways essentially oppressive. That's not just an American issue.

Not political, and I apologize for derailing, but do yourself a favor and rewatch the episode with David Choe. I give Joe Rogan a lot of leeway simply because he has a wide spectrum of people who he interviews, and a natural ability to make them feel comfortable.

Of course his name is Reed Bender.

What was that formula for deriving your MAGA name?

[SportsJunky]

This guy was willing to be tazed because why? Freedom? Masks are itchy? Don't tell me what to do?

Silly man.

I mean the inevitable end game here is the week before the election promising every American like $10,000 if he wins the election.

A decent example of police handling things reasonably. No violence at all, even though the guy was quite literally asking for it, and made that comment about "you people" to one of them.
