I also saw the clip on YouTube where he talked about it.

It's pretty broadly discussed online at this point. Pick your favorite search engine for additional articles on the matter.

What gymnastics? What message do you believe is being conveyed here?

People aren't all black and white. The more people try to demonize these guys and their viewers, the more credence is given to them when they say their detractors are out of touch or lying. When we make obviously disprovable things up about the right wingers, it destroys all credibility. There's real shit going on, and we need to stick to that.

At this point, the race is over. We need to learn from our mistakes, not double down on failed messaging.

He's didnt endorse him til the last minute. In fact he refused to, to Trump's face multiple times.

Harris was given many opportunities to come on the show but refused to do so under the same conditions her opponent did. Her team wanted to change the circumstances of the show too much and wouldn't come to him. Trump completely disregarded a preexisting obligation to go on his show.

If it were my show, I know who I would like better, putting politics aside. I feel like the Rogan episodes I've seen haven't really shown him to be conservative, but he platforms alot of conservatives which can be construed with him being conservative himself.

I think it's funny that anyone who actually talks about the show like they've heard a bunch of episodes gets downvoted while people just saying he's bad get up voted. It's more Lemmy echo chamber, in action.

There's this strange conservative delusion the gun control means no guns. Not allowing fully automatic weapons of war in the hands of citizens is reasonable. Not just letting any random person with a history of violence is reasonable gun control. Making sellers go through the effort to enforce the rules in place instead of subverting it for a sale or their personal beliefs is reasonable.

I'm pretty liberal and I think you should have a right to have a handgun and rifle if you are a competent adult, with the same regulations we use regarding cars. Personally, it's probably wise for women and lgbtq+ to open carry in morr conservative areas for a while.

They didn't do anything about it the last time he was in office and just talked about a replacement plan that never materialized. What makes it seem more likely they'll actually remove it this time?

Serious question. I didn't really mean to make it sounds as snarky as it looks on a reread.

I think we also assume most Mexicans care about the wall when that isn't a factor for the vast majority. Most come and get their court dates and are capable of passing the boarder legally.

That only applies in shit states that allow that wage fuckery. There are several states where the minimum doesnt change based on whether the job receives tips.

This is one of the problems with the argument online. Too many off us have different realities around them. Where I'm at they get a pretty healthy minimum (~$17/h) + tips.

Being a waiter at a decent restaurant is quite lucrative in my area. I don't want to change that for the person, after all, the waiter is getting a cut off every check. It's like a form of profit sharing! However, I'd rather just have the prices on the menu reflect reality and the business handle all the dispersion of pay without me and my feelings getting manipulated for an extra 5% (after the previously established 18% tip standard was deemed too low by people who get tipped that for decades.)
