Yeah. Heard the “Rogan blasts Trump and ICE headline”. Literally (actually) said to my partner, “I’ll wait until I’ve heard TKRE episode about this.” No hopes to dash, thanks to you two wonderful blokes.
You've seen the headlines about Joe Rogan "blasting" Trump and ICE for their "Gestapo" tactics - but the media has it all wrong. Joe spent the majority of his interview with Rand Paul excusing and defending ICE and Trump.
Check out this weeks Know Rogan Experience for more.

Now that I'm having these 3 hr infusions again, I decided to do more reading. I've recently had the urge to reread Vonnegut after 50 yrs. On page one the reason that I loved his books so long ago was instantly apparent. Dark subject matter but in such a "comforting" style, if that makes any sense.

Scary, while moronic. Horrific is they achieve competence.
Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.
He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
