Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 belongs in the Bag of Shit Hall of Fame. First ballot hall of famer, alongside Musk and Trump.

Don't forget everyone's favorite benzo brained bedmaker Jordy Peterson!

That might be the single worst photo ever.

Give them a break, They used all the polygons rendering their beer bellies. The car looks better in isolation.

Cybertruck, shown painted green

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

beer bellies

Pretty sure that's a side effect of HGH

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And from left to right ketamine, benzos, and DMT.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Hey now, no need for ketamine and DMT to be catching strays because a few morons are vocal about using them...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The thing is that The Homer did everything that it was promised to do. Most of the things promised were stupid, but engineers came up with working solutions and the car actually functioned. It was just ugly and no one wanted such features.

The Cybertruck does not have as much going for it.

[–] Sinuousity@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not a big guy but it still surprises me every time I see how small Rogan is

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I... does he have dwarfism? I don't think I've ever seen him standing next to anyone else.

Is his Napoleon Syndrome the reason we're in this mess?

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

He's 1.72 so not too tall but way taller than a lot of guys. The other two are just taller.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Look up crappy that cyber truck looks behind them. The door panels are already rusting.

[–] bazus1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This moment right here, time travelers from the future. This moment.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

I am also a time traveler from the future.

I am here now, in the past.

Tomorrow i will be in the future.

But I will have been in the past.

............

Collectively, they've done enough drugs to think yesterday was the future and believe themselves to be 20, tall, and fit.

And at least 2 of them have very questionable ties to Russia.

I agree, but I think that they all share the something of the same clown quality.

I actually liked Rogan on News Radio (90s sitcom) where he played an idiot-savant repairman who could fix anything electronic, but everyone acknowledged that it would burn the place down in 48 hours if left as is. For reference, Andy Dick was also on that show. He looked competent next to Andy Dick, but not nearly as funny.

I thought Rogan really found his calling on Fear Factor, where he just urged people to eat maggot infested cheese. If that show had gone on, how different would our world look like today??

We also watched the Apprentice, but I remember it as a comedy with Trump as the butt of the joke. Did no one else get that joke?

Musk - crap on a cracker. I've heard a lot of comments on how his "pedo guy" comment changed peoples' perception of him, but holy crap. It should have come even a little bit before that. There were about a dozen children trapped in a cave in SE Asia with "hours to days" to survive, if they had even made it that long. This cave had something like a14 inch vertical choke point and muddy conditions throughout.* What does this lackwit do? This absolute knob releases footage of a prototype submarine in a swimming pool in California, being guided along by human divers and says "EMERGENCY RESPONDERS STOP WORK. I'M YOUR ONLY HOPE."

Point being: This moron does not understand what a cave is. Probably coupled with "and no one is going to tell him that."
