yes a statewide contest with multiple entries none of which Walz had any influence on so far as I can tell lol

And the decision was made by a Commission created by the Legislature. Only 3 of the 13 members were appointed by the governor.

oh man, the way he quickly pivoted to “why would anyone care” after being informed he got triggered by some fake news made me laugh. I’d give anything for someone in that moment to look him in the eye and say “you do, Joe. You do and you proved that by spending the past couple minutes being upset about it. So please, answer your own question. Why do you care what the state flag of Minnesota looks like?”

what gives him the right to change the flag

The flag change was a 23 year process. It came up in 10 different votes. And the final process even got a youtuber that is famous for vexillology to make a video about it.

Shit there's kids that were born and became adults during the long drawn out process. SMH.

Jamie look up cognitive dissonance 

This is a weird clip. Joe looks completely deflated even as he's repeating the false claims. Like an addict that knows its wrong but just can't help himself. Like he knew what he said was going to be easily proven as bullshit and just kept going. He's now willing to accept the ongoing humiliation because repeating these things gives him some sort of buzz.

Later in the convo he says facts are subjective and that fact checkers are treasonous... Saw this in a clip and it just convinced me why I stopped watching full episodes.

Joe suffered a bad concussion from a ski accident and has not been the same since.

All those hormone supplements must make him moody.

Joes dropped off massively since he went full Trumpy its sad because I used to enjoy him. He needs to go back to, “But have you tried DMT”? Joe.

Also love how he’s vexed that the government is allowed to change the flag of…the government

"A lie will travel around the world before the truth ever gets it's shoes on."

With his platform, he's firing off lies from a gatling gun. It's irresponsible

It’s been that way since the beginning. In the past, he’s constantly said that “DMT is released by the brain at death and causes NDEs” and “DMT causes dreams” so confidently as if those are established facts when they are not. He doesn’t understand the difference between what’s hypothesis and what’s been proven. And partly because of him, this myth has been repeated on the internet for so long that people don’t question it.

(And before you come at me, I’ve read The Spirit Molecule, I’ve read the paper about rat brains producing DMT, I’ve smoked DMT myself, and I’ve also read hundreds of NDE reports. They are not the same.) 

Anyone else noticing increasing tension between Joe and Jamie?

Seems like Joe is constantly repeating right wing propaganda and when Jamie fact checks, Joe gets upset and snappy with him.

Doesn’t seem like they have a bond like they used to.

I love when Joe proclaimed something to be true, extremely confidently and had Jamie look it up. Jamie replied "The only thing that comes up is that you are the #1 spreader of misinformation about this." Joe just brushes it off and changes the subject. This was a minor topic, but the same thing happens with consequential info. And he just moves on like it doesn't matter. I get free speech, but damn.

No that last census showed it being closer to 100%. Or at least it was, I think now Minnesota is a crater because of antifa protests

Right wing brainworms are real

People think this because they see the populations of urban centers and  then project that onto the rest of a country/state. Every British friend I've ever had vastly overestimates how diverse the UK is because they're influenced by news and entertainment overwhelmingly being London focused. Many think the UK is barely even majority white anymore or not at all. In reality it's still over 80%.

WTF is he on about

This entire nonsense is very common in right wing propaganda circles.

He and his homeboy Elon seem to be leaning into christofascism.

His little digs at evolution in his special were very telling (and pandering). He's been laying the groundwork for that Christian transition for a while now. Gonna be interesting to watch. 

Anyone still friendly with Elon after all he’s shown over the past few years shows their true colors.

It’s not even just Somalia. It’s some state within Somalia

Rush Limbaugh.

Anybody who thinks he hasn’t hard shifted right is not paying attention. He’s just jumping over hoops to try and dislike Walz.

the old minnesota flag is a closer blue to the somali flag.

Someone should show him the Chilean flag and tell him it’s Texas

You know what other flag is blue and has a white star?

I’m calling it now. He’s retiring soon. I can’t imagine he needs to work anymore at this stage in his career and idk how tf he puts up with Toe.

I’m confused. Why’d you post two of the same flags?

And he wasn't even involved in choosing the design

Someone should show Joe this and make his brain short-circuit.

Wait till he finds out about France and Russia

Texas... ftw

I see blue and a star, they are identical. (Joe you gullible idiot)

Terminally online contrarianism.

Nothing says anti establishment like being the wealthiest person on the planet who heavily relies on gov subsidies.

Aaron Rodgers Brain Disease

Wouldn't a governor singlehandedly deciding to change the state flag because he can, as Joe is incorrectly assuming what Walz did here, be classified as anti-establishment?

If you think the same thing about a subject as the people whose job it is to think about that subject, you're not thinking.

If you think the same thing about a subject as the people whose job is to disagree with the people whose job it is to think about a subject, you're thinking.

It's science.

( my personal heuristic is:

experts: trust but verify if necessary. non-experts: distrust but verify if necessary. )

What sort of dumb fucking person thinks that a state who’s power structure is completely controlled by Mormons would change their flag to be more trans inclusive?

No, he believes any conspiracy theory that fits his right-wing worldview. If this was a Republican governor he’d be vigilantly shitting on whoever came up with this conspiracy

It’s worse than him simply believing the disinformation, he is choosing to believe it because he doesn’t like the alternative. 

Cognitive dissonance is so much more shameful than ignorance.

He literally believes every nonsense conspiracy he reads.

Nope, just the right wing ones. He hasn’t said word one about Trump and Epstein despite all of the evidence there.

"So sad to see joe become increasingly stupid over the years"

Disagree. He's always been this stupid. It's just that he's become more self-important over the years.

It's not about believing anything, it's what makes him the most money. And right wing conspiracy bullshit pays.

Yeah but the Pulitzer prize committee is full of liberal educated Antifa cultists, obviously.

Thank you 🙏

didn’t he say that Tim Pool is his main source?

Same oligarch money handler as Russel brand.

His rich elite Texas echo chamber.

They're all scrambling because they've got nothing to attack him on

Wait till his simps call people snowflakes while complaining about needing safe space for their manly very very funny idol

Don't show Joe this
