      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.

      No, not this. Never this.

      Joe Rogan supported Trump solely because he’s in the top 1% and only cares about his perpetual tax break on his riches.

      He’s a total fascist oligarch asshole who’ll just hop onto the next pair of fascist nuts his billionaire sugar daddies tell him to.

      He is irreparably evil.

    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.

        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 because he’s stuck in the ‘80s? Yes.

    Control oil because petro state and anti-EV? Yes.

    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.

          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.
