Ha, shit, egg on my face then. I guess I made the mistake of correlating “having a special on TV” with “actually doing standup”

Hell, forget anything controversial, when’s the last time Rogan did actual stand-up instead of just podcasting with funny people?

I feel like he must have some dirt on her and these other people that are pushing for him to be “welcomed back” or whatever.  Either that, or they have some skeletons in the closet that they’re afraid could make them the next Spacey...

I know our news media apparatus will pivot to Project 2025 in the coming months, and hammer that shit in. It’s already starting. I think it’s going to absolutely fuck his campaign, and I hope I’m right.

That’s always been my feeling too. I think Hillary was the worst possible matchup for Trump. Because say what you will about the guy, and God knows there is plenty to say, but he has charisma, he’s a showman. Meanwhile Hillary went viral over and over again for having charisma ranging from “grandma who doesn’t get…

I genuinely thought he might quit*. I was like 90% sure that it was some long con to prove people liked him a lot so NBC would renew The Apprentice and that he really wanted to be president. Hell, part of me still feels like if NBC offered him a TV show he might drop out even now. Like not to play armchair…

I agree about the “we’re so boned” feeling, but I felt that back in 2016 too. Though I have a skewed view since I live in the heart of the South so I basically never feel confident in a Democrat victory until it's evident it's a landslide on election night. 

Unfortunately that’s just the way prime time TV works (though yeah, 7 is a valid option). And also unfortunately, it’s gonna do nothing against allegations if they come out and say “hey can we move this up? Grandpa is worn out”

Yeah, by not doing anything live, it's giving the impression that yes Joe's like that all the time. Or that they're scared he'll mess up, which isn't a good look either! 

Fair enough. I do know one big unlikable now though and I think everyone agrees that if Trump wins, that’s the cause.

Not news.

Yeah, a lot of people focus too much on the overall percentage when unfortunately the nightmare that is the Electoral College makes individual states matter a lot.  And unfortunately said states are not swaying Joe’s way.

A little generous to the Brits but the second part is painfully on point.

Yeah, I really cannot believe we’re gonna do a 2016 all over again.  Congratulations DNC you’ve learned nothing in 8 years (or perhaps, if I’m being generous, unlearned something in 4).

This interview was 20 minutes long and pre-taped, so it honestly doesn’t mean that much.  To be clear, I do not want Trump to win, but this is not the big “see, he’s okay” moment that his campaign desperately needs.

I disagree because even with correct handling, people still would’ve had to take preventative measures like mask wearing and as we all saw throughout the pandemic, people hated that shit. And unfortunately given the state of the nation, people still would’ve bought all the misinformation about vaccines, ivermectin,…

The “beaten Trump once” logic only works if Biden is mostly the same, has about the same popularity, same charisma, etc etc. The Biden of 2020 and the Biden of 2024 are two different dudes. You’re not wrong that it would be risky to pick someone new this late in the game, after all the old saying is “don’t change…

It wouldn’t fix it for everyone, but for the crowd that is concerned with his age/mental stability, any other Democrat would be a welcome change. 

Admittedly yes, it was because of “Trump bad” but in 2020 everybody was in lockdown and mad about it. Fucked up as it sounds, I think COVID helped Biden win 2020 more than any other bad thing Trump did in office. That all aside though, the biggest problem Biden faces is recency bias. People who are mad about the…

That’s because there really is no reason for the Republicans to panic. Republican voters are in two camps right now: the ones who worship Trump as the second coming of Christ and would still vote for him if he did do that whole “shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue” thing, and the Republicans who hate Trump (like…
