We’re finding out we can’t have healthcare AND we can’t have a military that can fight against people who fight back. The purpose of Pentagon procurement is enriching the rich. The whole country is a series of expensive violent scams, led by the greatest con artist of them all
Some of the funniest moments on the show to me are when Jamie is like yeah I’m looking up magic powers and spells and it’s saying they’re not real. And Rogan goes yeah it’s because you’re using google go to perplexity. Go to a different browser that says spells are real.
