Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Who's the next podcaster to get an FBI job?

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Honestly, at this point, I would be zero surprised if Rogan gets nominated for the job...

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago

Jamie can we look that up?

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Alex Jones and Rogan have to blow Trump for the spot.

...what's the first tie breaker?

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They have beat Trump's time getting Bill to bust. The fastest one wins.

It is going to happen because he will finally bring a good face to ICE. Someone to rehabilitate their image. A people pleaser!

They should wait for halftime at the Superbowl to introduce him. Just when Bad Bunny starts singing Joe Rogan should storm the stage, dressed as an ICE agent, and the pick up BB and body slam him shouting, "This is what you get spic!"

All of Bunny's dancers strip off their clothes revealing they are actually the new ICE dancers. A funky groove starts with some powerful bass backing it up.

Suddenly thirteen jet fighters fly overhead in a tight formation breaking the sound barrier just after they buzz the stadium.

Explosive fireworks go off all around the field and an ominous voice shouts out, "Are you ready!"

Kid Rock dances onto the stage as the new ICE dancers back him up. He shouts into a golden microphone, "We cancelled this woke halftime so Americans can get what they crave!"

As Kid Rock debuts his newest song "ICE, ICE, Save me" ICE agents arrest Bad Bunny and rough him up on stage for everyone to see. After Kid Rock finishes his set he shouts, "If you are brown it is time to leave town!"

Finally, the camera pans to an empty bench on the field and we can see the ghost of Hogan side hugging Kirk as they sit together crying in joy at the scene they had just witnessed.

Might as well have fun while the ship sinks i guess.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

That's crazy.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Rogan is far more useful where he is

Mamdani gonna talk him into appointing Mero...

"Allegedly"

The rats are leaving the ship before it sinks.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It was more fun promoting conspiracy theories.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

The audience usually isn't as keen on actual factual evidence. Apparently in the FBI you can't just spout stupid shit and never explain it or back it up.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

At this point anyone with expertise of any kind should resign. They either haven't gotten around to firing you, they'll ask you to do something unethical, or you're already doing their dirty work (and you may not know it).

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

Dan Bongino didn’t have expertise though.

In fact people told Patel “listen for your job it doesn’t matter as much, but for deputy director you need to hire someone with tons of experience. They need to be someone that’s done a job like this before. “

Then they hired this fucking podcast loser.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Is he saying this bc he’s pulled enough info and ready to go private for more $

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

See you in hell, Bongoballs.
