What the ... Rogan?!?!?

 I have to start off by saying I was a huge Joe Rogan fan. Through his podcast I was introduced to a lot of people I would never have heard of, as well as movies, music, and books. He would have people on from all spectrums and would CALL THEM out when they spouted nonsense. The way he would fact check himself and if wrong admit it and apologize impressed me. However, that has gone the way of the Dodo since covid.

I think covid broke Rogan. You could see it happening when he had to defend himself from attacks from the media. I automatically think of the story CNN did on him and wrongly stated he was taking horse medicine. The video they used of him looked altered, whether it was or not you can see ta definite difference in the colour of the video Rogan did and the one CNN showed. The  video CNN showed was darker, and made Rogan look ill. I believe that it was these battles that started Rogan's decline into becoming a right wing propagandist. It was a sad decline to watch.

I used to watch Rogan's podcasts weekly, looking forward to a lot of the guests he brought in. The way he would call out the BS, while still encouraging discussion. He would fact check things at the moment and use that. Now, well just look at the Trump interview. How many lies did Trump spout and all Rogan did was coddle The Donald's ball sack and agree with him. Sadly, that is the way Rogan does his podcast now. 

I would love to see the Rogan of old return but I am not going to hold my breath. I miss the old Rogan and what he brought to the world,

What the .... Donald?!?!?

 While I expected the new Trump administration to be a shit show I didn't expect it to show it's ass this quick. In a month and a bit he has managed to betray their neighbour and long time ally, Canada. That doesn't even get into what he has said and done to piss off Mexico, Europe, and Panama.

I could rehash what has been said and done but it has been reported and done in depth already. I am looking at the Canadian aspect of it.

I am proud to say Canada is fighting back. The people of Canada have never been as united as they are now. Even Quebecois have said they are proud Canadians. We are prepared to take some pain. We are behind our Government. Hell, I am even impressed with Trudeau. He still has to go but damn Crisis Trudeau reminds me of his father. Elbows Up!

It is time to start untangling ourselves from the US economically and militarily. With a fascist like Donald in power we can't trust the US government. 

Donald has violated the Free Trade agreement that HE made with Canada and Mexico. So let's make it official and say that his violations have just nullified it. His tariffs violate the WTO rules as well. Now he is spouting off about wanting to redo the borders. The US cannot be trusted while Donald is in charge, and Vance wouldn't be any better.

Fuck Donald and Fuck the Americans who voted for him and pay lip service to him. 77 Million plus of  Americans voted for this piece of shit. 49.8% of all those who voted. When I hear people say "I didn't vote for him!" as a means of distancing themselves from the insanity he has created I have 1 question. Did you vote? The 2024  Presidential Election had a lower turn out than the 2020 election. If all those who said they didn't vote for Donald, don't blame me, actually voted, Kamala would have won. So, someone other than Donald is a liar and deserves to be called on it. But I digress.

Then you have the Republican Party itself. They have sold their souls to a fascist piece of shit and his extremists. While Donald and Elon trample on the US Constitution the Republican Party is either fondling Donald's dick to keep him happy or have their head in the ground and their ass in the air and ignoring what is going on around them.

I am proud of how Canada and Canadians are responding.
