No, nobody around here is coming for books.....because the last I checked, none of the posters here are REPUBLICAN governors or school board members. You know, the people who actually are, in real-time, banning books, right here in the USA.  If you are truly a champion of "free speech" meaning speech and dissemination of ideas without government intrusion, then you very much should be up in arms.  But not about this thread.  Rather, you should be utterly pissed at the lockstep goosestepping from your own political party.

But you're not.  Because the irony thing.

It’s not even irony, dude. It’s just straight up dishonest by this point.

Back when all that secret police bullshit was happening in Portland, I made it a point for everybody to keep repeating “DONALD TRUMP IS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST.”

So new sentence:

”RIGHT WINGERS/REPUBLICANS ARE LIARS.”

For the same reason that I hate scammers who prey on the elderly -- because I give a shit about other people, and society as a whole.

I'm not gullible.  I won't fall for a scam claiming to be an IRS agent about to have me arrested.  So why do I care that such scammers exist?  Because my fellow human beings are victimized by them.  When I got a call from a terrified old woman (widow of a former client -- she called me because I was the only lawyer she knows), who had an "IRS agent" on the other line threatening to have her arrested, my blood boiled.  Not because the scammer was hurting or terrorizing me...I was angry because he was terrorizing someone else.

This is our point, dude.  As a society, we should give a damn about conduct that harms people, INCLUDING conduct that only harms OTHER people.  Because we live in a society, a collection of human beings that is interconnected.  And, you know, if you have a moral compass, you should particularly care about such things.

Correct.  We have nearly 1 million dead.  We have 140 thousand children who have lost a primary caregiver due to COVID.  We have a real track record of therapeutics helping to keep those losses AT THAT LEVEL (several therapeutics have passed muster in genuine studies...ivermectin is not one of them, but you do you).  As in, the losses would be WORSE without them.  Even WITH the therapeutics, nearly 1 million dead and 140 thousand kids lost a primary caregiver (as just two metrics of this being a serious fucking public health problem).  And yes, we had hospitals and health care professionals crashing out.

Here’s how I would know it was real. And let’s not bother with the disturbing subject of how they harvested the so-called donkey semen, what would be involved in capturing a mug full of that. If you want me to believe someone drank donkey urine, show me one long unedited shot of a donkey pissing into a bucket and then a person taking a sample and drinking it. I’d also like to see an interview with an executive from the insurance company who sold the producers of the show their policy saying they approved the “stunt.” (The fact that they referred to it as a stunt in the video should be a dead giveaway.)

Go back to the editing room, remove the shot of the donkey, splice in a shot of a buffalo, and *poof*, they’re drinking buffalo semen and buffalo urine. They’re not aspiring circus geeks. They’re aspiring actors. They signed non-disclosure agreements to not give up the lie just like anyone whoever worked for (or fucked) Donald Trump. Those tabloids aren’t evidence of anything.

The burden of proof isn’t on me. Just because they show you a mug full of, say, a mixture of buttermilk and yogurt, and call it donkey semen, right after they showed you a shot of a donkey, doesn’t make it donkey semen.

Little off topic but I figure I’ll go ahead and stand on a soap box for a second and CR for a bit. You know, I was born in a communist country and lived there for a bit. 

It has always deeply struck me since I was a kid how almost no Americans even have the foggiest idea of what true censorship is like to live under. 

The fact people don’t realize they are actually, currently being allowed to whine about his nonsense and its a pretty incredible gift. 

If Joe did this shit in many, many other places in the world or at a different times he would just disappear from history and no one would even know to bitch about him. 

Freedom is the responsibility of dealing with all the bullshit of everyone living together. Regardless, I think nothing shows more dangerous or treasonous ignorance than the misrepresentation of “communism”.

Please don’t use that word to describe  America in any way unless you want to look like a fool who is grossly unaware what they’re talking about.

I'll totally agree that reality TV shows often don't deal in reality, but if you want to debunk what one depicts, the burden of proof actually *is* on you.  You state something that could have happened (the old switcheroo) and provide no evidence that it did.  You are basing your belief that the switcheroo happened solely on your distrust of reality TV shows, and that is just your own confirmation bias at work.  Further, David Copperfield actually cannot make the statue of liberty disappear.  It's contrary to the laws of physics.  But two fame hungry thots absolutely could chug a gallon of donkey juice each.

Finally, the point isn't that those videos are real.  Let's take your assertion at face value and say that the donkey juice episode was 100% made up bullshit for TV.  So Joe Rogan projected a fiction where contestants pretended to drink donkey piss and jizz.  He did it to entertain people, attract viewers, get higher ratings and make more money.

Is a person like that -- who has no problem dealing in fiction presented as reality in order to build their empire -- a reliable source of medical information that could have life and death consequences?  For me, no.

But your donkey juice mileage may vary, lol.
