Joe Rogan SLAMS Masvidal for Sucker Punching Colby Covington!

 

Any real dad would laugh at being called a deadbeat. It’s literally only an insult if it’s true. Like literally no good dad on the planet would see that as an attack on his family… Unless it’s true.

 

Calling Jorge a deadbeat dad is NOT attacking someone’s kids. It’s his lame excuse to sneak attack Colby. He had 5 rounds to defend his ego and he got beat down. Jorge is sore loser, End of story dude.
Colby never talked about his kids he was defensive towards them because he said Jorge was a dead beat dad
Colby talking shit made more people care about the fight, meaning more PPV sales, meaning more money for Masvidal who was getting points. He should be thanking Colby and sending him a fruit basket for carrying that PPV.
Waiting outside a steak restaurant to sucker punch someone who called you a “deadbeat dad”… … is exactly what a deadbeat dad would do.
He wanted to inflict pain to Colby and the only way he could do that was when he’s not ready
Never acceptable to sucker punch someone! There’s only one reason to cheap shot someone… because he knows he can’t beat him straight up. He knows first punch wins.. kinda makes ya wonder how many times he’s done this 🤔
Colby was standing up for Jorgies wife and kids. That should be commended. If more men stood up, like Colby did, there would be a lot less bad father out there in the world. But a lot of you think that its wrong to call dudes out for being bad fathers and husband. Supposed “Guy Code”, give me a break, if anybody thinks that’s right your part of the problem. And if you are one of those guys its because you are afraid your going to get called out and so you don’t think its right to do.
As a dad, you can call me a dead beat dad all day, I’m gonna laugh at you. He must be a dead beat if someone saying it upsets him.
Jorge had his chance, but he lost. Even if he was going to go after Colby he should have done it to his face by calling him out in the street or whatever angry buffoons do. Colby could have fought him or chose not to but you don’t assault a guy with a mask and a hood.
Finally had Josh back on the podcast and he comes with every bad take lmao. You’re going to bite someone’s flesh and think he’s not going to make money off you buy suing??? What if Jorge was actually as good as sucker punching as he told Ariel he was back in the day? Colby gets seriously hurt and Jorge is locked up when Colby never said anything directly about his kids. I’ve seen people saying Jorge is justified because it “disrupts his family life”. Yes, his family directly involved with him being a bad father but I don’t think that type shit talking is off limits especially when Jorge said he was going to end Askren’s ability to reproduce.
Colby literally ended masvidal’s career
I remember when Masvidal was the guy that everyone was on his coat tails and would go hard for him now 90% of the comments in any post is bashing him. He done it to his self and now people can’t stand him. We all know it wasn’t about his kids bc Colby never said a word about them he said he was a shit dad
Words are not assault – especially when they are hyping a fight! Action/assault on the street is breaking a law – period!
You know what I think is hilarious. Jorge would have still done this weather Covington mentioned anything about his family or not. Jorge could just not stand the fact Covington beat the living crap out of him for 25 minutes and then was hanging out in Miami with the nelkboys. Jorge was just being a crybaby because that was not him hanging out with them
Joe Rogan I usually love your opinion but when a fight happens in the streets people don’t usually warn a person before they hit them your stupid if you expect a pissed off offended man to be polite!!! I grew up with ” what do you call a dirty fighter? A winner!” Now I refuse to fight dirty because overcoming without compromising yourself is what makes a man!!!
Colby was told once before a fight “no matter what you do if you win or lose you’re being cut.” That was in Brazil and that’s when he started his character. Oh Joe told the story.
The irony is Masvidal had the opportunity to get his respect and failed.
Can you imagine if Jorge would have hit Colby and he fell head first on to the concrete? Could have easily been a homicide. Then add the dude that set him up. Then it becomes a conspiracy that led to manslaughter. Jail for all involved.
I remember admiring masvidal in 2018 & 2019. In 2022? He’s become an embarrassment & bad example of a human being both professionally & beyond
Everyone was on Masvidal’s side after the fight even though he lost. And now no one is defending him other than simps. He royally f-ed up. This will hurt his future fights and earnings.

The #1 Way To Identify A Narcissist

Narcissists don’t have a sign on them saying: “Hey, look, I’m a narcissist!” In fact, at times they can seem reasonable and approachable, at least for a while. Psychotherapist Dr. Les Carter identifies the most accurate way to determine if you are indeed engaging with a narcissist. Once you know what to watch for, you can proactively determine the best path to proceed.

Tim Cook May Have Just Ended Facebook. Looks like it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy.

It looks like Apple and Facebook are at war over Facebook’s anti-privacy “engagement” business model:

  • Apple is introducing privacy controls to iOS14 which allow users to control who tracks them
  • Facebook took out newspaper ads attacking Apple for potentially harming its “targeted” advertising model.

 

Tim Cook’s Speech:

In a recent speech at Brussels’ International Data Privacy Day, Apple CEO Tim Cook went on the offensive against Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. Cook’s speech seems to be a direct response to Facebook’s recent attack on Apple, in which the world’s largest social network took out full-page ads in several newspapers attacking Apple’s new privacy changes.

Technology does not need vast troves of personal data stitched together across dozens of websites and apps in order to succeed. Advertising existed and thrived for decades without it, and we’re here today because the path of least resistance is rarely the path of wisdom.

If a business is built on misleading users on data exploitation, on choices that are no choices at all, then it does not deserve our praise. It deserves reform.

We should not look away from the bigger picture and a moment of rampant disinformation and conspiracy theory is juiced by algorithms. We can no longer turn a blind eye to a theory of technology that says all engagement is good engagement, the longer the better, and all with the goal of collecting as much data as possible.

Too many are still asking the question, ‘How much can we get away with?’ When they need to be asking, ‘What are the consequences?’

What are the consequences of prioritizing conspiracy theories and violent incitement simply because of the high rates of engagement?

What are the consequences of not just tolerating but rewarding content that undermines public trust in life-saving vaccinations?

What are the consequences of seeing thousands of users joining extremist groups and then perpetuating an algorithm that recommends even more?

It is long past time to stop pretending that this approach doesn’t come with a cause. A polarization of lost trust, and yes, of violence.

A social dilemma cannot be allowed to become a social catastrophe.

Khamenei Wants to Put Iran’s Stamp on Reprisal for U.S. Killing of Top General

In a departure from Iran’s usual tactics of hiding behind proxies, the country’s supreme leader wants any retaliation for the killing of a top military commander to be carried out openly by Iranian forces.

In the tense hours following the American killing of a top Iranian military commander, the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made a rare appearance at a meeting of the government’s National Security Council to lay down the parameters for any retaliation. It must be a direct and proportional attack on American interests, he said, openly carried out by Iranian forces themselves, three Iranians familiar with the meeting said Monday.

It was a startling departure for the Iranian leadership. Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, Tehran had almost always cloaked its attacks behind the actions of proxies it had cultivated around the region. But in the fury generated by the killing of the military commander, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, a close ally and personal friend of the supreme leader, the ayatollah was willing to cast aside those traditional cautions.

The nation’s anger over the commander’s death was on vivid display Monday, as hundreds of thousands of Iranians poured into the streets of Tehran for a funeral procession and Mr. Khamenei wept openly over the coffin.

After weeks of furious protests across the country against corruption and misrule, both those who had criticized and supported the government marched together, united in outrage. Subway trains and stations were packed with mourners hours before dawn, and families brought children carrying photographs of General Suleimani.

A reformist politician, Sadegh Kharazi, said he had not seen crowds this size since the 1989 funeral of the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

“We are ready to take a fierce revenge against America,” Gen. Hamid Sarkheili of the Revolutionary Guard, declared to the throng. “American troops in the Persian Gulf and in Iraq and Syria are within our reach.”

“No negotiations or deal, only war with America,” students chanted in an online video from a university campus.

A renowned eulogist and member of the Revolutionary Guard, Sadegh Ahangaran, exhorted the funeral crowds to raise their voices so “damned America can hear you” and to “wave the flags in preparation for war.”

The increasingly public vows of direct action on Monday constituted Iran’s latest act of defiance to President Trump. Over the weekend the president had repeatedly threatened to retaliate for any attacks against American interests by ordering airstrikes against as many as 52 potential targets, one for each of the American hostages held after the seizure of the United States embassy in Tehran in 1979.

In response, Iran’s moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, on Monday responded with his own numerology. “Those who refer to the number 52 should also remember the number 290,” he said on Twitter, a reference to the 290 people killed in 1988 in the accidental downing of an Iranian airliner by an American warship. “Never threaten the Iranian nation,” Mr. Rouhani added.

Where, when and even if Iran may choose to retaliate remains a matter of speculation. As Iranian leaders weighed just what form it might take, analysts said the targets included American troops in neighboring Syria and Iraq, American bases in the Persian Gulf or American embassies or diplomats almost anywhere.

When previous attempts at direct strikes or assassinations have proved unsuccessful, some noted, Iranian-backed militants have turned to the simpler tactic of killing civilians with terrorist bombs.

This was the sequence in 2012 with the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah. After failing in attempts to attack Israeli targets or kill Israeli officials in revenge for the killing of one of the group’s leaders, the militants eventually settled on the easier job of bombing a bus load of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, said Afshon Ostovar, a scholar of Iran at the Naval Postgraduate School.

“We are in uncharted territory, and the truth of the matter is nobody knows how Iran is going to respond. I don’t think even Iran knows,” Mr. Ostovar said. “But I think there is a blood lust right now in the Revolutionary Guards.”

In Iraq, where the Parliament had earlier called for the immediate expulsion of the 5,000 American troops stationed there, Prime Minister Mahdi on Monday listed steps to curtail the troops’ movements.

While plans were being made for departure of the Americans, he said, they will now be limited to “training and advising” Iraqi forces, required to remain within the bases and barred from Iraqi air space.

Mr. Mahdi met with Matthew Tueller, the American ambassador to Iraq, on Monday, and “stressed the need for joint action to implement the withdrawal,” according to a statement and photo released by Mr. Mahdi’s office. He also emphasized Iraq’s efforts to prevent the current tensions between Iran and the United States from sliding into “open war.”

The United States military stirred a media flurry by accidentally releasing a draft letter that seemed to describe imminent plans to withdraw from Iraq. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. William H. Seely III, the commander of the United States forces in Iraq, wrote to the Iraqi government that the American troops would be relocated “to prepare for onward movement.”

“We respect your sovereign decision to order our departure,” he wrote.

But Defense Department officials played down the significance of the letter. “Here’s the bottom line, this was a mistake,” General Mark A. Milley, President Trump’s top military commander, told reporters at the Pentagon during a hastily called press briefing. “It’s a draft unsigned letter because we are moving forces around.”

“There’s been no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq,” Mark T. Esper, the defense secretary, told reporters. “There’s been no decision made to leave Iraq. Period.”

Although the Trump administration has said that the United States killed General Suleimani because he was planning imminent attacks against American interests, there were indications Monday that he may have been leading an effort to calm tensions with Saudi Arabia.

Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi of Iraq said that he was supposed to meet with General Suleimani on the morning he was killed, and that he expected him to bring messages from the Iranians that might help to “reach agreements and breakthroughs important for the situation in Iraq and the region.”

In Washington, two top Senate Democrats urged President Trump early Monday to declassify the administration’s formal notification to Congress giving notice of the airstrike that killed General Suleimani.

Such notification of Congress is required by law, and to classify the entirety of such a notification is highly unusual.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, and Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said in a joint statement that it was “critical that national security matters of such import be shared with the American people in a timely manner.”

And Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, urged Mr. Trump’s critics not to jump to conclusions. “Unfortunately, in this toxic political environment, some of our colleagues rushed to blame our own government before even knowing the facts,” he said.

For its part, Iran simultaneously continued a months-long push against the Trump administration over its demands that Tehran submit to a more restrictive renegotiation of a 2015 accord with the Western powers over its nuclear research. The Trump administration has sought to pressure Iran by devastating its economy with sweeping economic sanctions, which Iranian officials have denounced as economic warfare.

The sanctions set off the cycle of attacks and counterattacks that culminated last week in the killing of General Suleimani. Iran has also responded with carefully calibrated steps away from the deal’s limits on its nuclear program. On Sunday, Iranian officials said that they had now abandoned all restrictions on the enrichment of uranium, though they said they would continue to admit inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Amid the emotion of the funeral, some called for vengeance that would remake the region. “Even if we attack all of U.S. bases and even if we kill Trump himself it’s not enough revenge,” Brig. Gen Amir Ali HajiZadeh said at the funeral. “We must totally eliminate all U.S. troops from the region.”

For now, Iranian officials seem to be in no rush to strike back against the United States, possibly enjoying their ability to spread anxiety throughout the West. They seem content to

  • bask in the nationalist surge in their popularity,
  • growing international sympathy and the push to
  • expel the American troops from Iraq.

“I don’t think they want to shift the conversation yet,” said Sanam Vakil, a scholar of Iran at Chatham House, a research center in London.

But for the hard-liners who dominate the Iranian National Security Council, she said, some vigorous retaliation would be the only rational response. “A non-response would appear weak and invite further pressure, creating problems in domestic politics and internationally,” she said.
