While I do not think Joe Rogan knows much of anything about anything, adult candor compels me to admit Joe Rogan is probably a better judge of Joe Rogan than I, so I leave it to Joe: April 29, 2021, "I am not a doctor, I'm a fucking moron."

I like how he caught himself saying “safe space,” panicked because, I guess, it was “too woke,” and then used a completely stupid and inaccurate term to describe what he meant. These people are eye rolls personified.

These right-wing content creators are boringly predictable with their hateful rhetoric. Pity they are believed without question by their cult members. The dynamic is creating an ever-more dangerous world for rest of us.

“ROGAN” is actually the R word we should all be using to reference idiocy, stupidity, ignorance etc.

That is a fantastic point, "You thought they were going after cat-eaters, what are you a rogan?" Definitely stings more.

IMHO, Smith's lowering of the bar for referenda is a strategy of "if we don't get the support we want the first time then we do it again, and again, and again until we finally catch them not paying attention or so frustrated they stay home or give us a chance."

This was the strategy Harper used to gain his majority.

Joe Rogan can kick rock with open toed sandals. I hope he steps on Lego.

Danielle Smith will do anything to distract attention from the investigations into her healthcare dumpster fire corruption, her blatant dismantling and privatization of our healthcare system, the wholesale free-for-all giveaway of our protected lands, waters, and mountains for oil, gas, and coal companies, and the last remaining habitat of the caribou in northern Alberta to Weyerhaeuser- a US company. Oh, and we have the worst measles outbreak in decades but she doesn't believe in vaccines, so... she needs to distract from the fact that she won't call it an emergency and her staff keep quitting so they can write op-eds in big daily newspapers to warn the public that measles is a deadly, horrible, preventable disease that kills kids and the vaccine does NOT cause fucking autism. JFC.

She's Trump in drag. She's doing exactly what Trumpty does, people ... fans flames of division and anger, enables crazy fringe conspiracy theorists to thrive by treating them as if they deserve consideration in return for their support, says ridiculous things to divert attention away from the actually dangerous moves, like tabling legislation that enables the government to hand over public hospitals to private entities. Yeah... that just happened.

She's a snake. She thinks we're stupid, that we can't see her painfully obvious moves: lowering the threshold for petitions to trigger referendums the day after the federal election when she threatened prior to said election that if the Liberals won, Alberta would cause a huge national crisis. Now we et to spend millions of dollars on a question that will end in ALBERTA CAN'T SEPRATE THE WAY YOU THINK, IDIOTS! WE DON'T OWN THE LAND, THE OIL, GAS, MINERALS, ANY NATURAL RESOURCES, THE WATER, NOTHING!

If we had a real premier, who cared about the people of Alberta, that premier would explain all of this clearly, instead of encouraging this pointless, divisive, expensive waste of time, energy, and resources. This is only hurting all of us, all of Canada, at a time when we need to be pulling together.

I'm so fucking tired of this woman and her blatant disrespect for our lives, our well-being, our future.

In 58 years, I've never been asked if I want to separate from Alberta. I don't know anyone who has been asked (I've asked). So I sincerely doubt the 1 in 4. I doubt they would want to if they understood the facts.

But we won't be getting facts from Marlena, who prefers to be called Danielle, Smith. (It's apparently ok that she gets to pick her preferred form of address.)

Rant over. As you were.

So interesting that BigHands wanted Carney's opinion on Russia, Ukraine, israel's genocide in Palestine and Yemen. Gathering dirt for Putin...along with talking about the arctic. I hope he said nothing substantial. Picture this. The arctic polar map of the world. Russia, Greenland, Canada, Mairikkka, the northwest passage and the Panama canal, alllll run by Putin. That is one heap of a geographical territory.

Rogen doesn't look too good. Bad advice manifesting something fierce.
