He’s an author apparently, and happens to be in my ‘for you’ feed at the moment.

As you have no intention of listening to it, you have nothing to add to the conversation on that interview, especially the comments of a nobody I’ve ever heard of.

Re: US Election 2024

If anyone wants some highlights this YouTube channel is a decent one for bipartisan analysis in that they have a Democrat and Republican as their hosts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DI9QkunnJw

TL;DR: It seems like it was a smart move to go on, he came across well but it wasn't an adversarial interview. They think Harris should take the risk and go on.

Anyway, watching videos of American politics and their rallies, I am so glad to live here, where we all—bar a few weirdos—are generally quite cynical about politicians and don't usually argue in the streets or break up friendships over it.

The stakes are higher over there I guess with bigger differences over things like abortion than we have. They're also a massive country so it's easier to demonise each other. It's hard to think of each other as enemies when we all live quite close to each other and operate under one media landscape. That last part is changing with social media but a lot of those people remain very much 'online'.

It was a smart move, and it wasn’t an adversarial interview, it was a discussion. That’s what Rogan does. He did push on a few things, particularly on Trump’s assertion that he was robbed of the 2020 election.

If Harris agreed to go with Rogan, I would expect him to treat her just the same.

I just don’t think she could do it.

She is not a capable candidate.

Oh, I have plenty to add, as and when I find snippets worth sharing. If that makes you cross … well, tough.

Please don’t forget that elections are decided by lots of nobodies making their minds up about the candidates and voting accordingly. The nobody I quoted has more influence over this election than either of us.

You can guarantee it’s not scripted or that he won’t have been given any questions beforehand, so his mental agility will there for all to see and hear.
Which bit did you like best, when he admitted losing the last election and Rogan laughing in his face?

It had to be her iirc or else they wouldn't have been able to use the campaign funds the two of them had already raised, someone new would start from zero, iirc

No, when he said I don’t know why people always pick up on what I say.

And Rogan laughs at him and says because you say some wild shit!

It didn’t have to be her, they should have held a primary in which she could have gone up against anyone that fancied it.

There will always be very rich people willing to bankroll a candidate.

Re: US Election 2024

Arnie has terminated all MAGA hopes of a Trump endorsement …. The former Republican governor of California has endorsed Harris in a lengthy tweet this afternoon. He’s hardly enthusiastic about it but says it’s less bad than the alternative. Ouch.

Who cares about Arnie,


The real story of the last 24hrs has been Biden calling trump supporters …….approx 50% of the country………Garbage.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/...sult-115288185

The Dems, and the Democratic propagandist main stream media, have been in full damage limitation mode all day.

It’s her “basket of deplorables” moment.

Harris was in DC about 5 mins away from the White House and the sitting president wasn’t even invited to support her…………..

Instead, he threw her under the bus, as his comment overtook any and all headlines from her event.

Not the first time either, as she was deriding DeSantis for not engaging with her (why would he) regarding hurricane relief. Biden went on record saying he and DeSantis were in constant contact and working together.

I think Biden would happily see Harris perish, after submitting to her coup.

Yes his comment was in retaliation for the 'joke' calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Hardly a big deal really.

As for rest of what you said
