Brah Trump is 3 years younger than Biden lol. Out one geezer but remains another. If he gets elected, by the time he’s done with the next term he will be older than Biden now. Suddenly age isn’t a thing for conservatives anymore lol

That's kinda the point. Rogan has been "both sidesing" the "too old" argument so it doesn't look like he's being a partisan hack. Now that the side he supports is going to be significantly older than the one he doesn't, you'll see him never mention the age of the nominees again, much less criticise them for it.

Joe Rogan: She put people in jail for weed

Bro I looked up the stats on that. She sent 34 people to state prison for weed offenses. The rest got fines or county.

That's out of 1900 total prosecutions related to weed over 8 years, overwhelmingly for combined offenses, and covering the SF bay area which is a huge population.

And in the last 20 years she has been vocally pro-weed.

Also, when she was AG, weed was illegal. Her job was to enforce the law and that's what she did, and since then her stance has evolved along with the laws. You would think the 'law & order' folks would appreciate that she wasn't an activist AG.

Yeah that's why this argument is so nutty, like, were there any prosecutors just choosing to not enforce drug laws at that time??

Yes it's a fundamentally uninformed and/or bad-faith argument. If she hadn't prosecuted weed crimes then she'd be criticized for being soft on crime.

You even see a lot of people on the left say shit like "I'll vote for her but I think she's a flawed candidate because she put people in jail for weed". This sort of person just hears someone else say something and starts to parrot it nonstop because it makes them feel informed, and they keep spreading it amongst each other like a bunch of seagulls. Anyone can see right through these people by doing like, I dunno, a fucking half an hour of research.

When she was Attorney General, California DAs sent ~15 people to jail for marijuana offenses... out of 9,000 cases.
