    I fucking hope they do it. We missed out on the Wesley Snipes / Joe Rogan ticket that was supposed to happen way back when. I would've really enjoyed Rogan choking Blade unconscious in Round 1.

    I think that actually would have been a good matchup. They both have pretty strong martial arts pedigrees, and the winner would probably depend on the ruleset they fought under, which would lean towards one's strengths or the other.

    Rogan could literally and figuratively take his life if he feels like it (Ibepuld laugh if he did). He has TKD and BJJ black belts, trains daily in Muay Tai and has an American kickboxing background.

    ….I’m sure he’d be in all sorts of trouble against a fat fuck who nobody likes.

    I take Rogan 100% of the time. Dude knows his shit, and has a ton of respect amongst fighters because he's not just talking the talk, he's rolling with big dogs and still holding his own.

    Now, I don't know how much he may have fallen off in the last year or so, but yeah, Rogan is no joke as a fighter.

    For sure, but neither is Snipes. He has black belts in multiple disciplines and has been doing martial arts since he was a teenager. He's not someone that just walked off the street like Cenk would have been.

    My bad. Wasn’t referring to Snipes. I think Snipes is more flashy movie shit whereas Rogan is more “fuck you up”. Would be interesting but I’d still lean Rogan. And of course I’m completely talking out of my ass on this.

    It was the other guy who would have been pulped in microseconds.

    Yeah, all else being equal I'd put my money in Rogan, but I can at least see some scenarios (Karate rules, Snipes gets to use his sword from Blade, etc) that I'd put money on Snipes.

    Rogan was the All American Karate Champion when he was younger... he quit because he was afraid he was going to kill someone or he was going to get seriously hurt, all without getting paid.

    Right, he may have competed in Tae Kwan Doe... you're right... but he took karate for like 40 years or something and was an instructor. My point being is that he's got 3 black belts, and while Karate isn't one of them, he's proficient in it.

    I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think Snipes Karate experience is an edge in this case. At the MOST, I'd give it a draw. But just for Karate.

    I dunno about Rogan v. Snipes, but Rogan v. Michael Jai White, there's a proper contest. But anyway, Cenk thinking he's got a shot just because he's taller and heavier, he ought to research the practical battlefield applications of a slingshot.

    .
    Snipes would literally die in less than a minute, Rogan would simply grab him and rip his fucking head off in a triangle. Snipes has never competed in anything, his accomplishments are purely from karate classes and the only person he’s ever beat up is Halle Berry (fact). Jai White has seven black belts in seven separate disciplines and is a world champion.

    I don't know how well it would fare in the courts, but I've seen a legal argument that the President can just ignore the debt ceiling. The idea is that Congress appropriating funds intrinsically authorizes the President to acquire those funds, because how the hell else is he supposed to spend them?

    I think the Biden DOJ is leery of setting that kind of precedent. You could imagine a bunch of prosecution of ex-presidents for nonsense ("suing Obama for Benghazi!"). So, a Congressional commission with bi-partisan support is the way to go, if it actually does anything.

    The states can prosecute to their hearts' content. I'm curious what the outcome will be, and I have a suspicion that the major shit won't be in the news all that much, as they try and settle.

    But yeah, people don't really get how bad the 6th was....it's truly some 3rd world shit.

    I'm sorry, but trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election has to have some serious consequences. This is how you lose a democracy.

    You're not wrong.

    However, time is on the side of sanity. The longer this process goes, the more Trump's influence wanes. If they had tried to do it immediately, I could see the backlash being ridiculous and unpredictable. The more the GOP brass distance themselves from the 6th, the easier it is to let the investigators do their job, and let justice unfold. Also, the DOJ knows how to attack an organization like Trump's. It's a LOT easier to go after someone like that, when they have a few dozen convictions of the rioters themselves saying "we did it because he told us to."

    That said, every time I think of how ridiculous the republican party has become in my lifetime, they manage to keep themselves in power. I think it's pathetic no one in the current administration is calling it what it is: treason.
