Edit: I googled around... Dont think he has said anything more than what I posted in my OP about him. Some headline said ' walked it back' but I dont see the statement ' this is not an endorsement' as such. Joes not scared of MAGA but his buddy/boss Dana might hope he stays away from the politics as Trump struggles. Joe is the same guy that called Trump a threat to democracy Joe also has a lot of backbone, love him or hate him he has been very, very, successful doing things his way. At 19 he became TWD grandnational champ, he went on to create the biggest pod cast of all time. Meanwhile he has also been an actor, comedian and martial arts commentator/expert. The dude has helped the GSP ( the goat) work on his kicks in the past. He's quite impressive and I dont consider myself a fan.

On the topic of Trump...he has always refused to have DT on the show. I wondered if he had said anything else since I posted about it yesterday. I bristle at the idea of a guy that walks his own path, very successfully, getting called out for not having a backbone. He did say that the pic of Trump was great....I have also said that pic ( raised fist) was iconic, it was perfect. Doesnt change the fact that Trump is the worst type of pile of crap ever.

RupertKBD Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 12 hours ago, nuckin_futz said: Jan. 6 rioter who attacked numerous officers sentenced to 20 years A California man convicted of carrying out some of the most extended and brutal assaults against police during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday. The 20-year prison term for David Dempsey, handed down by senior D.C. District Judge Royce Lamberth, marks the second longest sentence yet for a defendant convicted in connection with the Capitol assault. With several of Dempsey's victims from the Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police in attendance in the courtroom during the trial, prosecutors played multiple videos showing Dempsey at one of the most violent exchanges of the riot near the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol -- repeatedly striking, kicking, and throwing object after object at the police line trying to prevent the pro-Trump mob from swarming into the building. In one video clip, Dempsey repeatedly swung a stolen metal crutch down onto an officer's helmet, cracking the face shield. One officer who Dempsey struck testified that he believed he was going to die and that his thoughts began drifting to his family. Judge Lamberth described Dempsey's offenses as "exceptionally egregious" before handing down the sentence, which he said was further warranted due to Dempsey's lengthy criminal history and past instances where he had attacked political opponents during protests in 2019 and 2020. The judge, a Reagan appointee, said that "fortunately" Dempsey's efforts to break through the police line were not fruitful, as it would likely have resulted in a "bloodbath" for lawmakers sheltering inside the building. "David Dempsey is political violence personified," a prosecutor said in making the case for Dempsey's harsh sentence. Prior to receiving his sentence, Dempsey addressed the court and spoke of his "profound sense of regret" for his actions, issuing a personal apology to the police gathered in the room. After receiving the sentence, however, Dempsey -- as he was escorted out by the bailiff -- made a hand sign in the air that is commonly associated with "white power" or the white supremacist Groyper movement. Federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,265 defendants and secured prison sentences for more than 460 people involved in the Capitol attack, according to figures released early this year by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C. I read this story yesterday.....amazing that this guy is still defiant after being told that he's going to jail for the next two decades....(I'm going to go ahead and assume there won't be any time off for good behavior)... How many lives have been destroyed all because a shit stain of a human being like Donald Trump wouldn't admit that he lost an election? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertKBD Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 3 hours ago, Boudrias said: Many excellent points by the Mayor of Mesa, Arizona. There was another Republican from Virginia who had the same points but was not as civil as he condemned Trump. Sorry the name escapes me. The Mayor mentioned John McCain who I would view as the moderate Republican I could support. Mitt Romney is another. While I am concerned about the spending under Biden I do not know how Harris will lean. Harris and Walz did a clip yesterday as they were endorsed by union leadership. It does not take a brain surgeon to realize the financial pressure felt by middle America and the need for rebalance. Beyond all this is the foreign policy record of Joe Biden. Joe Biden stood by Ukraine when all others in the world were prepared to see Putin wipe that country out. Biden turned that tide and now NATO is actually meeting obligations and aiding Ukraine. There should be a Nobel prize for what Biden did. That struggle is not close to being over but Ukraine has survived and battles on. Trump trying to politicize that conflict should, in itself, turn rank and file Republicans against him. Disgraceful. Agreed across the board, Bouds.... I said several times that although I was pulling for Obama in '08, I wouldn't have been too concerned had McCain won the Presidency. He was a decent man and I believe he genuinely cared about the people of America....all of them. My only concern would have been had something happened to him, (as the Glioblastoma eventually did) the world would have been stuck with the dumbest "Hockey Mom" on the planet, as POTUS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch til end I saw this a few months back and I agree, the guy handles it perfectly.... One thing that really struck me however, was when he was asking the one candidate about his DUI.....he mentioned how the guy after being pulled over, "reached for his gun".... I'd be interested to know how those folks who say, "He should have just complied", when a cop shoots a black man for something far less threatening, would view that, considering the fact that the guy is (obviously) still very much alive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there’s three candidates and Joe says “He’s the only one who makes sense to me.” Sounds a lot like an endorsement to me, walks like a duck and talks like a duck but may be technically not a duck, I guess. Maybe Joe is more nuanced than I give him credit for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it is fair to point out Joe has not endorsed Trump, refuses to have him on his show etc... My original point was that Trump does not want to go toe to toe with Joe. His influence is not just MAGA types. Again, top podcast on the planet. Kinda like the UFC fans, not all of them are MAGA at all... Dana has been trying to prop up Trump and using his org to do it. Dana has to be careful ( maybe not cause he is soo rich) UFC is not as strong as they were. Tonight is a fight card, nobody cares about it at all. It never was like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one that links up with trump gets out clean and/or undamaged. Maybe that's what sets Rogan apart?

However, how do you think 'Joe got there'? He isnt just the biggest podcast he was one of the first to see that platforms potential( 2009). The guy dropped a successful acting career to ' go his own way...go his own wa-aay' And he did it in a very big, way.
