Texas, you’re gonna upset Joe Rogan!
Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. He became a multi millionaire in California because of the infrastructure and people of California. Then instead of staying and playing taxes to give a bit back to the community, he took his money and ran to Texas.
A classic fuck you I got mine.
That is not why he is a piece of shit.
He is a piece of shit because he is a fascist propagandist. Who cares if he moved money? He enables fascists.
This is why you guys are where you are right now. You have accepted fascism like it’s normal.
AMERICANS HAVE NORMALIZED FASCISM BECAUSE OF JOE ROGAN.
Take a breath.
If you run around calling everyone a fascist no-one will take you seriously.
Rogan is not an elected official nor really active in anything to rise to the level of fascist. He’s a piece of shit moron, but if he’s a fascist that everyone and no-one is.
This is not how being a fascist works.
So what word would you prefer for someone who intentionally provides a large platform for fascists to spout their rhetoric and misinformation, thus helping them gain power?
I think you are placing the bar for facism a bit high friend. You don’t have to be in government or influential in any way to be a fascist. You can be a homeless person who hasn’t spoken to another person in a year and still be a fascist. You can also be a fascist without believing that you are…
Fascism is both a set of beliefs taken to an extreme and actions wittingly or not done that furthers the power or reach of an organized group who holds those beliefs. More or less it means facism can be something you do rather than something you believe strongly in. Your rank and file facist is tricked into the position.
Joe Rogan is either a facist or a puppet/ tool of facists that serves as a algorithm kidnapper into their pipeline to normalize their veiw points. Whether Rogan himself holds these beliefs personally is kind of irrelevant. It is the use to which he has been put and the damage is done.
Why? Nothing is gonna change for him. Little americans when you upset their favourite rich people is when it’s getting dangerous
It was meant as a joke making fun of him for being a little bitch and getting upset over everything. He smokes a shit tonne of weed, making it illegal again will affect him lol.
Also, I’m Aussie dumbass.
Is Tim Walz Canadian?
That’s Tim Horton.
We had a local place near me selling red “make weed gas again” hats. I’ve been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.
Like these idiots don’t know or even cared what they voted for other than “I’m a dude, I can’t vote for a woman”
make weed gas again
I can’t figure out what this means
It means all the stuff they can buy under the farm bill isn’t very strong and they want the real stuff
I assume it means smoking the weed (turning it into gas).
Gas is a slang way to say it’s potent / strong.
Potent / strong (and especially fresh and not properly cured) weed can smell almost like Dow made it in a chemical plant in Jersey.
Diesel is a common descriptor for genetics
If they’re into biodiesel it could be turning hemp into fuel.
“High grade”
No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.
A lot of people don’t realize how rigged Texas is, or how recent it’s redness is.
The Governor prior to Bush was a Democratic woman. Bush got elected off his name, then got the Presidency. In the Republican bump from that the Republicans got a majority in the Texas legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2003, which they used to massively gerrymander the state.
Prior to 2004, the majority of Texas reps.to Congress had never been Republican. Following the 2003 redistricting, it was over 2:1 Republican. They’ve locked down voting districts and attacked voting rights ever since to maintain their majority, while courting out-of-state conservatives to move to Texas and driving progressives away.
The reality is the Republicans got full control of the state government in a single legitimate election in 2002 and have spent the last 2 decades rigging the system to ensure they never lose that power.
You know that not everyone in Texas voted for this shit, right? Many people voted against it, and many can’t vote because they were underage at the time, undocumented or disenfranchised.
So kindly, take your bad take and get fucked.
The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn’t vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.
Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it’s important to not blame the wrong people.
Gerrymandering makes no difference for Governor and presidential elections.
I’m surprised you don’t have idiots replying to you while locked in a loop of saying “But Austin is libral though!” over and over.
it’s not about the weed, it’s about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people
True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.
to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.
Ding
Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding
It’s definitely about the brown people, but it’s also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800’s. All we need then is some good ol’ slavery to finish it all off
Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas
It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia
May I introduce you to the Texas Prison System? They clean our highways, do hard labor, work for our universities doing landscaping,
yep, that’s why they’re trying to swap the meanings of “education” and “indoctrination”-- accuse schools of “liberal indoctrination” and take over all the boards so they can force their own “education” which is literally the textbook definition of indoctrination
from the party of “god gave us free will!!!” which is also the party of “you will believe in jesus or else”
Religious piousness is the excuse, it’s the cover story. You don’t really think those mega church pastors believe what they say and then fly around in golden jets do you? It’s about the power they have over people.
EDIT: after reading you comment more carefully, yes we agree
Buggery is anal penetration of an animal.
this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony
Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police
As a Canadian, I can’t believe how sad the US has become, and they’re regressing in freefall mode.
You ain’t seen nothing yet!
- Reaches into pants and grabs a massive mound of turd and then rubs it all over own face -
Yeah, you’re triggered now, you idiot. I’m so free!
- Coughs in sepsis -
New HHS guidance recommends against the term “sepsis”. We’re goin full humors now, boiiiiiii
You forgot to mention something about “woke” and “radical” something or other.
That’s Texas, it’s different.
Texas is the beta test for the rest of America.
One star, because it wouldn’t let us put zero.
Just change hotel to state
I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)
Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…
MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!
MN is a state where businesses couldn’t sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We’re weird about very specific things.
It’s perfectly understandable. A Minnesotan mustn’t be too joyful. “It could be worse” are the words for a Minnesotan to live by. Allowing alcohol on Sunday brings it uncomfortably close to “I’m doing great”
That’s just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.
I’ll believe it when I see it. They’re dragging their feet in a way that seems like malicious compliance.
The res near me (in Minnesota) has a fully legalized shop open now.
I live in the cities. I’m not driving that far for weed lol. I don’t even have a car.
As of now my maye is pissed to have to go to Wisconsin to get real bud or real edibles.
Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.
Michigan dispensaries are the shit!
I was down in the US for a festival and made some Michigan friends who had the best dabs I’ve ever tried in my life.

I live near a dispensary and they sell a lot more than that, I think it’s only hemp that’s restricted. Edibles and stuff you can buy the pound of you can swallow the taxes.
My mate has to go to WI to get 20mg+. No shot of getting at Minnesota and it fucking sucks that it takes all of her break to go get it
Not sure what to tell you, live near the IA border and people to south to get cheep cigarettes and people come north to get weed products. Only complaints people have is the half hour drive of corn fields.
They made a shit show out of the licencing. First they sold permits, but then decided they were going to favor minorities in the licencing process. Royalty pissing off people who had already paid the huge fee. The new scheme got struck down in the courts. Now nobody knows what’s happening with it. Except the tribes, who are the only people able to commercially grow at the moment. Total shit show, a Minnesota classic.
But you can grow your own.
Playing games with people’s freedom. The freedom the people voted for.
And these are the so called “good guys?” Get fucked democrats, you find a way to fuck people over even when they vote to stop the fucking.
Well, it’s better than Texas.
Ofc it’s an MLtoid loser saying this shit. Piss off.

Man, when even weed money can’t move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society’s progress.
May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.
That’s why Trump keeps talking about invading Canada
Easier to secede to Canada if you share a border
Anyone still listening to JRE know what he thinks about it? I wonder if he went full hypocrite at this rate or still has some principles.
he went from weed to horse ROIDS.
That would really piss me off. I hate having reasons to go to Oklahoma.
Why is Texas so communist? Freedom haters the lot of them.
What’s Minnesota like? I grew up in snow but now reside in the southern heat and I don’t like it.
I like living in MN. Yes, the winters can get long. But during the winter, it’s not necessarily snowy all the time. Yes we get storms. But for most of the time, it’s too cold to get snow. Mainly sunny days that look nice out, but are actually -20 F - 20 F. Sometimes snow, sometimes gloomy and cold. January average temp is 10 F.
Summer, we do have humidity and heat.
We have more snow and northern, humid heat. Summer average is 80s but peaks over 100 few times a year. So humid you can shower on Monday and still be wet behind the ears come Tuesday. And the mosquito is the state bird.
Snowy
Kinda. It’s not snowy in terms of sheer snow fall like the West Coast or the Rockies, but it’s cold and once the snow falls, it’s there till spring.
We had highs in the 40s earlier this week. But had a day a few weeks ago where it was 90s. We don’t get as cold for as long in the winter any more.
True. My in-laws live near Brainerd, and they don’t get to use the sleds or the ice house near as much as they used to.
I moved to Minnesota from San Diego 5 years ago and it feels like a better decision every single day
Aiming my way there from Ohio within the next year, any recommendations?
Get to know other transplants to Minnesota ahead of time or find a way to meet some once you move. Native Minnesotans are notoriously tough to befriend; many Minnesotans have friend groups that go back to primary school and can be kind of standoffish at first.
Nah, we don’t have friends groups that go back to primary school
Wait does that include middle school and highschool too?
And we aren’t standoffish! Just don’t face us directly if talking, that’s rude you ain’t a cop. And keep your opinions uncommitted. It’s rude to express anything that can give the impression you have a strong opinion or feeling about something. Why are you guys talking so much anyway, there’s perfectly good hotdish goin to waste.
Could maybe get used to that.
Sounds just like Ohio to me.
Maybe, I haven’t spent enough time in Ohio to judge but being from Minnesota that is the #1 thing I hear from transplants. There’s even been articles written about it.
Just remember that Minnesota Nice is not a complement.
It’s not but it’s not really an insult either unless your a dick who’s misusing the term.
Minnesota nice is a cultural stereotype applied to the behavior of people from the U.S. state of Minnesota, implying residents are unusually courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered compared to people from other states. The phrase also implies polite friendliness, an aversion to open confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a direct fuss or stand out, apparent emotional restraint, and self-deprecation.
Having spent a number of decades in Minnesota I’d say Wikipedia pretty accurately captures Minnesota Nice.
If Minnesota Nice was a compliment it would just be called nice. People confuse polite with nice. The best way to describe it is “nice to your face”.
It’s a special kind of nice.
Here I thought a good way to describe it was as a cultural stereotype applied to the behavior of people from the U.S. state of Minnesota, implying residents are unusually courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered compared to people from other states. The phrase also implies polite friendliness, an aversion to open confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a direct fuss or stand out, apparent emotional restraint, and self-deprecation.
Minnesota Nice does not mean “nice to your face” but you seem like one of those people who wants to use it as an insult instead.
Your invalid assumption is that those actions make someone nice. It makes them polite. If you live here you’ve surely encountered the case where someone suggests getting together outside of the shared context you are currently in (like work). You know damn well that the correct answer is non committal. “yes we should do that soon”. Under no circumstances was this a real invitation and you do not start suggesting dates.
The cities are cool, and like any major metropolitan area, every neighborhood has its own vibe. Duluth is a REALLY cool city, and totally worth a look. But I ended up in this small, off the freeway, city called Northfield. It’s really nice. There are plenty of jobs, lots of services, the rent is okay, and there are two liberal arts colleges here, which means that this tends to be a really progressive area
Does Northfield still smell like cookies every once in a while?
Northfield is progressive or the whole area? I would think you go 5 minutes in any direction and that sentiment would change.
There are plenty of MAGAS around. My old suburban district used to vote republican by a decent margin. That’s changed and we’ve elected Democrat to us house for a few cycles. But that democrat was Dean Philips. Northfield is about about 30 minutes out of the metro and is going to be very maga around it.
I know where Northfield is which is why I was asking. I grew up in that part of Minnesota and figured that area would mostly still be rural red.
Northfield is progressive. All around are farms. But it’s not all that far from the cities, either.
I’m familiar with Northfield but I’m also familiar with Randolph, Elko/New Market, Farmington and those areas don’t scream progressive to me which is why I was curious.
No, they’re not. They’re all a lot more rural. I don’t think many people consider Northfield because it’s out of the way and off the freeway (and surrounded by nothing), which is one of the reasons I think it is the way it is hahaha
Come fly into the twin cities and take a look around. There’s tons of different neighborhoods and you can drive to the major other cities in a day. Duluth is great and got a whole different biome from the Twin Cities. You can go to Rochester which is growing fast and has the Mayo Clinic if you need or want to work medical care. I love stillwater since it’s a small town close to the twin cities but not really a suburb. You can’t really go wrong.
Also to note Minnesota has three different ecological biomes in it. Prairies, coniferous forest and deciduous forests. So you can pick your landscape and see others nearby
You can go to Rochester which is growing fast and has the Mayo Clinic
Does it also have the Miracle Whip Faith Healing Center?
Lol
That’s the sort of thing someone might pay a stupid amount of money to make a sandwich shop nearby and name it that
That’s a storming good idea.
I love to see Rosharan curses in the wild ❤️
I’m trying to adopt it, I think it works so well and can potentially clean up my speech a bit. 😅
I’m sure you can find one nearby
Gilead
