Bernie Sanders accepting Joe Rogan's super mild endorsement is creating delicious cringe.

How Joe Rogan’s Bernie Sanders Endorsement Split Progressives

It vindicates Sanders’ claim that he can attract support from right-leaning voters. But Rogan has a history of making transphobic and racist claims.

Bernie Broke My Heart When He Embraced Rogan’s Endorsement

I’ve been a lifelong socialist and a supporter of Sanders since the 1980s. I expected better from the senator.

He is breaking hearts and violating Human Rights just by existing. It's so glorious.

Some people might be interested in Joe Rogan's response to all of this... I don't know why we need his point of view... but here it is!

Love how they pretend Joe's a right-winger. The dude holds a speedy of left leaning opinions. At best hes a last leaning centerist just not a total prick.

Yeah the arguments of him being racist and homophobic are particularly hilarious considering his entire guest list, circle of friends and associates, comments and viewpoints and the fact he's a comedian who does long form podcasts numbering in the hundreds and for at least a quarter of them was probably podcasting while high.

Most of the problematic comments are him joking. The ones with substance pertain to various trans issues where he's not accepting the progressive identitarian dogma.

And the others are literally one liners taken out of context. The Nation whiner has to quote Rogan with one word then 'fills in' what he obviously meant right after.

So here's the controversial clip of White Nationalist Joe Rogan comparing a Black neighborhood to Planet of the Apes... allegedly. (10:00 into the podcast) Also wow... JRE #128... these people really had to dig... (j/k Alex Jones dug up the clip for them almost a year ago when they were feuding).



Like everything the media and Human Rights Campaign (lol) blew it completely out of proportion.

It's a fun story Joe Rogan is telling as well.

Newsweek posted another humor column, this one regarding the Royal Family and manufacturing white nationalism, mythologizing Meghan and engaging on a rather stirring counterfactual short fiction essay.

Realy.....

She thinks its because she's black?

That's laughable the british have always had an abusive relationship with the royal family. The Poparatzi essentially hounded Dianna to her literal death, the last time a royal married an American divorcee they forced him to abicate the throne. It wouldn't matter what her color, religion or anything else was she was always going to have a hard time because that's just how the british treat their royals.

He's not really gay. He's just a gay man trapped in a straight body you see. You can tell this from his politics. He's not leftist enough to be gay.

The Queer Opposition to Pete Buttigieg, Explained

What makes Buttigieg a reassuring choice for some older, white, straight people, and a disturbing possibility for some queer people? It is that he is profoundly, essentially conservative.

mmmmm... having read the article... from the perspective of the article's writer it seems less about the politics and more about the difference between sane "queer" people and the ones who think having half naked men kissing little boys makes sense in a parade... or that walking around in fetish wear in public is totes fine, it's a parade, etc.

Basically, it's difference between the homosexuals who just want to live life and the homosexuals who want to redefine everything within the context of their homosexuality because CLEARLY nothing else about them matter.

ABC News ‘slaughter in Syria’ footage appears to come from a Kentucky gun range - Washington Examiner

Are you distrustful of the coverage of what is happening now in northern Syria between the Kurds and the Turkish army? You have good reason to be. ABC aired supposedly shocking footage Monday and Sunday purporting to be from the frontline battle between the Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks...

Wow, if only there was a movement or a group of people who pushed for ethics in journalism. If only.

And as some bonus cringe;





Glinner, once vociferously called Count Dankula a Nazi etc, now having to eat crow and apologise as the same thing happens to him because he's a TERF.

And my favourite:

Oh look an article...

Christian Lawmakers Group Blames Satan After Twitter Poll Goes Badly Awry

The National Association of Christian Lawmakers posted a Twitter poll about religion in politics. They didn't like the response.

Let's rewrite it in Google Translate or something.

Jan 6 Committee Goes After GOP Lawmakers Who Tried To Downplay Capitol Riots - The Union Journal

No knowledge of it is of original make writing for us.

Project Veritas strikes again. Journo hoodwinked by a journo.

2. In what I'm guessing was red meat for the typical NYT reader, the author mentions "white supremacists groups"? But wouldn't those people have been silenced by now in this hypothetical world of 2059? It's like the author is trying to transplant current-day demographics into this hypothetical world, when in reality "diversity" of the country would've "evened out" by then in the minds of the average NYT reader if current trends continue.

Its actually very simple. They go on about this cause they abhor the idea of white people existing. All whites must die and cease to exist. Seriously, look at how they talk about white people and you will realize that leftists will not be satisfied until the last White person is gone, only then will they stop with their bitching. Seriously, they call a room full of white women diversity. What we call diversity is not the same thing with what these people call diversity.

What the hell is diverse about a room filled with nothing but white women?

Back on the funny end of the spectrum, an MSNBC host and his guest a new york times journalist tried to do some math about Bloomberg's campaign spendings and what could have been done with said money. There was only one problem, they were really really bad at math:

Though I suppose when they got said math off of twitter it's not that surprising it'd be crap. Especially if said twitter user was another journalist.

Unfortunately, given it's Project Veritas and you linked a vid with a guy Lefties hate who is also reading from a FOX article

It will all be dismissed

Doesn't matter they hoodwinked a journo to admit truths his boss doesn't want people to know.

They will deny even that stuff the journalist said

That said, it may turn some people away

They can deny it but the journo got hoodwinked by a journo.

This is an old one but it's a sentiment I'm sure of anyone who's well experienced with journalists making a big deal out of small matters.

Looks like Simple History got a video demonitized after it was reported for referencing recent events.
