https://www.thedailybeast.com/joe-rogan-admits-he-lied-about-schools-using-litter-boxes-for-furries-studentJoe Rogan has admitted he lied about a school letting furry children use litter boxes, walking back his claims from a month ago that have since been amplified by Republican Senate Don Bolduc.
In an October podcast, Rogan told guest Tulsi Gabbard that his friends wife taught at a school that had to install a litter box in the girls room because theres a student thats a furry.
Now, hes saying I don't think they actually did it, attributing the whole situation to one wacky mother who the school ignored. Claims that furry students are using litter boxes have been debunked over and over, but the lie has persisted as a right-wing talking point.
Bolduc accused a school of using litter boxes in a campaign town hall, saying I wish I was making it up. Lucky for the New Hampshire Republican, he was. I fed into that, Rogan said in his podcast, admitting he had no facts to back up his claim.

(100,080 posts)It definitely smelt like it was made up. I'm sure the one about the trans woman with the size 5000 breasts was made up too. If it walks like bullshit and talks like bullshit, it was bullshit.

(50,955 posts)that almost made me cry about this. Someone tried to find the source of the misinformation. What they learned was that there is a school somewhere where there was a bucket of kitty litter in a closet. It was kept there because the teacher reasoned that her young students would need to pee if there were ever a school shooting and they were locked down.

(100,080 posts)They care more about their precious kill toys than they do about the people they hurt or kill with them, and to twist this story around into something like that because they can't accept the reality of what guns and the people who make gun laws are doing to society is truly beyond the pale!

(24,370 posts)and it's astonishing that the right wing has made what is most assuredly a tragic sign of our times, CREATED BY RIGHT WING IDEOLOGY into a way to vilify and shame young people who are possibly LGBTQA+.
The ONLY reason a teacher might think a bucket of Oil Dry or Kitty Litter is an appropriate thing to have in the classroom is, as you mentioned, because the kids are stuck there for an extended period because of a fucking active shooter lockdown!
It's infuriating.

The party of fear has no platform other than making as many Americans as angry as they can about bullshit ideas and then blame the left for creating the problems.

It's a cheap and effective moisture/scent absorber that makes cleanup much easier for the custodial staff.

(36,067 posts)Quentin Tarantino, Radio Raheem, Malcolm Gladwell, to folks like Ted Nugent and Tulsi Gabbard. His range pretty much swings across the political and knowledge spectrum.
About 6 years ago I listened to him twice, saw his interview with Musk, but haven't kept up with him. From what I've heard, I'd guess most countries would censor him, but I wouldn't call him any kind of fearmongering polemicist like Alex Jones. I wouldn't write him off as a public conveyor of information.
He can wander from being a serious, edgy interviewer, at times, and has probably lost sight of how any comment of his can be exploited by right wing politics. And he realizes that.

(531 posts)Got into his big time money with guys beating the shit out of each other (watch: Dijango Unchained). Fucking privileged white dude that thinks what he has to say is the solution to everything. He does his research then thats it. When he gets a push back, he throws a tantrum and undermines everyone that disagreed with him.
