Joe Rogan allegedly allowed Harris to travel to Texas during a key weekend because she hoped to do his show. Instead of giving her a spot on his show, he gave Trump that spot resulting in Harris wasting an entire day.
I don’t genuinely believe this would have made a difference to Harris. But I do think it shows Joe Rogan’s motives at the time. Fuck that guy.
How was that even possible though! He was already borderline so low he had to consciously remember to breathe. Which we would all be better off if he forgot.
Joe Rogan will never outlive his contribution to this. He will be denigrated in history as a sophist, an ignoramus, and a fascist sympathizer, if not a fascist himself. His children will deny him and do everything they can to distance themselves from his legacy. So let it be written.
I doubt he will. If you wandered that deep into crazyland, chances are you belong there. I suspect he still wants crazyland - just a different brand from what the clown-in-chief is creating. That's fine by me if it creates a civil war among the crazies.
If you just give up on a third of the country, then the country will never heal from this. Like it or not, there has to be forgiveness for those who admit they were wrong. Otherwise this never ends and the USA is over.
I wish he would just rewind 10 years a be some comedian hosting other comedians and psychonauts with funny conversations when it was understood it was all just nonsense.
It was never just funny conversations, that’s the problem. It has always been a massive podium to reach people with, and Rogan never vetted anyone or acted responsibly when airing people making unfactual claims. When it was just comedians and shit there weren’t any immediate consequences, but without that you don’t have this.
Control oil in an attempt to keep it on the petro dollar? Yes.
Pump and dump the stock market to make billions in insider trading? Fuck yes.
Because trump’s and his minions are idiots and don’t understand how interconnected and dependent the world economy is on the movement of energy products and their production ? Yes.
Because he’s worried about being prosecuted for anything in the Epstein files, and the judicial branch is threatening him with active investigations? Fuck no.
The reason he went to war is because Israel forced hm to, with the epstein blackmail.
Making money off of it is just natural for our gangster president and his administration. This war wasn't good for him, he was forced into it, just as Israel forced the last ones, and made him look like a bitch in every one by immediately violating any ceasefires he negotiated.
It really is that way, Epstein was Israel getting blackmail, and the president, and so many others, are compromised. It can't be ignored, and the big criticism of Joe's response here, is he's underhanding his criticism here, when he knows damn well it's because of blackmail, not distraction alone.
The reason he went to war is because Israel forced hm to, with the epstein blackmail.
But what do they have that would cause any actual harm to him? You could release genuine videos of Trump fucking children, and he still wouldn't see any consequences.
Idk about that, his evangelical base won't care that's for sure, they are only a third of his voters. Some of his other diehards won't care, at least a third of his base would care, and a higher percent of the independents.
This is one of the only issues that could take him down, along with the entire ruling class. The epstein child fuckers and their enablers and those that covered for them. But we are all disunited as the Epstein conspirators keep us all at each other's throats. The far right dissident wing is anti salmon, you are anti salmon and pro terrieriest, the inependents sat on their hands when the weak doomed to fail controlled opposition predictably lost, and so forth.
We aren't dealing with only a bunch of rich people alone here, but Israeli intelligence (and US intelligence as there is no way Israel did this without their help/acquiescence,) leading the cover up and disuniting of the population.
I mean... yeah. Everything's a distraction for something with this administration. They hope you forgot about Greenland, or the failed insurrection in 2020, or, yeah, the Epstein files.
But seriously, it's not like anybody is getting arrested in the US over the Epstein files. People in other countries are facing consequences, but not in the US.
If you're in the US, you can be jailed for seeing video or pictures of CSA, while the actual perpetrators being named and shamed in the files are getting away with it. So is the crime the CSA or the knowledge that powerful people are doing it? It should be the CSA. I don't think people should be able to possess CSAM, but if the people doing it are known and getting away with it, is it a crime to see what they did or is it a crime to know who did it to whom?
I can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. And considering how many people refer to it as "Epstein Fury", I'd say that others can display a similarly modest level of multitasking.
All the shitty dudebros you work with. I’m a middle aged, bearded, slightly overweight man, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked if I caught Rogan last night…
He must think there is currently more money in being critical of Trump over this than supporting it. Advice remains the same, fuck Joe Rogan, everyone should ignore him.
Is this the consensus in the usa already? Just curious cause I'm not from there, and everywhere I look online this is the consensus (in my bubble at least).
Edit: I know the media doesn't admit stuff like this, but I mean consensus in like the general feeling of talking to people in real life about this war.
Russia has him compromised as well as Israel, and they want the US out of Nato, Greenland is the president's best idea of how to get his base behind pulling out.
Pretty much everyone I know (bar for those few still religiously devoted to doing their best impression of a boot polish sommelier) seems to be on the same page about how nearly everything Trump does is a distraction from the files, and that’s been the consensus for months now, even before the Iran War.
That said, I run in very different circles than those who make up the loyal core of MAGA, and I’ve learned to never doubt my countrymen’s ability to achieve new and rarified heights of stupidity and cognitive dissonance. I also never felt like most people even tolerated the idea of Donald Trump, and that led to an extremely unpleasant surprise in the wake of the 2024 election, so my social circle probably isn’t a particularly representative cross-section.
Former MMA fighter turned most popular podcaster in the country, turned maga tool. He used to be a bernie supporter I hear. Had him on his show just last year. But also pretended to believe the president even when he did that. It's all in bad faith, he's a cynical piece of shit.
oh, I mean, it dipped way down in the news for a few cycles, but people were still talking about it, and now it's popped back into the news, especially since former AG Pam Bondi has, since getting fired, has decided that she can now ignore her Congressional subpoena to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding her fuckup with the release of the Epstein files.
This is very transparently evasion and contempt of congress (a crime). How congress decides to proceed from here is anyone's guess.
He might be a human sack of human shit but i do wish people would get back to talking about the epstein files. We cant just let these dick heads get away with it.
Now the narrative shifts to trump just trump only trump, no one else, ignore the framework required to get here, it was just trump. The goat is being scaped
I can't agree but I also don't have a better explanation. I think he's just a deranged individual and trying to explain anything that he does or says is a fruitless endeavour.
The real story is that Israel has the president dead to rights on epstein blackmail and forced him into the war. Distraction isn't the reason for this war, blackmail is. It really is like that, and that blackmail is not relegated to the gangster president, a critical mass of the ivy league and ruling class are compromised.
Which is to say nothing of what Russia has on them. Or corporations, other oligarchs. This is why you don't elect corrupt aristocrat crooks to office. Now we can't get rid of them either seemingly.
