    He's not a moderate. He's just less moonbat than the other 5 conservatives on his court.

    As Chief Justice, it's in his interest to try to make the court look less moonbat than it is, if for nothing else than the edification of historians. We'll have to wait for Clarence Thomas to have the Big One on a Dem prez's watch before that changes, if at all.

    Dwayne Johnson appears to withdraw Joe Rogan support after N-word video


    Johnson had publicly praised Rogan’s response to a growing Spotify boycott triggered by the dissemination of Covid misinformation.

    But in response to a tweet from the author Don Winslow, reprimanding him for defending Rogan, Johnson, who has almost 16 million followers, wrote: “I hear you, as well as everyone here 100%[.] I was not aware of his N-word use prior to my comments, but now I’ve become educated to his complete narrative. Learning moment for me.”

    Rogan said he was wrong to use the N-word but insisted he was not racist.

    Like Tarantino, Rogan uses the word too often and with a little too much edgy hackbro relish, even when the plausible occasion is meant to comment on other peoples' use of the word.

    Also not as if these are ancient examples. This is all 21st century galaxy brain have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too racism in the guise of keeping it real.

    Howard Stern’s use of that word in the 1990s makes Joe Rogan look like a piker.

    And remember that Gov. DeathSentence has criticized Rogan not for his racist words but for his apology.
    Poor Ron.
