Joe Rogan has suggested President Donald Trump is using ICE raids and fraud claims in Minnesota to distract people from the stalled release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

This would be the guy you enthusiastically helped get back into power Joe.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Joe is the empty vessel through which corporate opinion flows, uninhibited.

He'll say whatever you want, whenever you want, to whomever you want if you just cover his fees.

He's the white man's Oprah.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

He’s the white man’s Oprah.

Ugh... You're right and I hate it.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

"you get an opnion...and YOU get an opinion... and you..."

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 0 points 4 months ago

Alternately, he doesn't like the fact that he has blood on his hands.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

If he admitted he was wrong to back him I'd support it. He could provide an emotional out for MAGA types who may be regretting their choice now. "If Joe Rogan is regretting it..."

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Fuck this dude and all, but I’m not going to look a gift horse the mouth. If he’s even partially waking up to reality, and influencing his audience about Trump’s shitty actions, I’ll take it.

Dictators are successful when they have populist energy fueling them, and I’ll take help from anyone that makes this guy less popular.

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 1 points 4 months ago

Joe needs to do far more heavy lifting. Passively raising concerns is cute, but doesn't come close to the damage done by his Active effort to get Trump re-elected.

When his rhetoric becomes decisively anti-Republican, I'll consider giving him a cookie.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 0 points 4 months ago

He's not. He is just trying to claw back some listeners so that he is still relevant to endorse the next fascist that comes along.

[-] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Exactly. He’s a glorified influencer, his opinions reside with his profits.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

It's a little bit like claiming Hitler invaded Poland to distract from his bad policies... But if Epstein is the thing that allows his followers to say "that's a bridge too far" then so be it.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Fuck Joe Rogan

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Joe Rogan becoming an overdue antifascist would be a hilarious twist of history. Like I don't think he's ever going to be a leftist, but he seems to somehow be less brain dead than a lot of Americans, and fuck that's sad.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago

I'd love it if he developed a conscience. He has so many braindead drones that he could really affect some change.

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

What so he can get away with the shit he’s spread?

Fuck him. He doesn’t deserve a platform, no matter how many c00L iNT3rViEwZ he’s done.

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Another unaccountable arsehole who has done immeasurable damage.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Until this asshole says the fucking words:

"Trump is covering up the Epstein Files"

Then he's not criticizing Trump.

This is what Joe Rogan and every hack psuedo-comedian podcaster piece of shit has been doing. They intentionally refuse to explicitly name drop Trump and blame him directly for literally everything he does. 

It gives these assholes plausible deniability to the dipshit MAGA crowd to say "I wasn't criticizing dear leader! I was criticizing X cabinet member or person he appointed! Its there fault! Trump is still our infallible god!"

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

"Some of his advisors have some really bad ideas..."

It seems poor trump is just completely helpless in the face of these bad ideas.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Schrödinger's leadership role:

When McDonalds begun increasing prices for corporate and shareholder greed, it was Obama or Hillary or Biden's fault. 

When people Trump personally appointed, Trump personally talks to, and Trump acts based on the advisement of, do something catastrophic, Trump is just a victim of evil people who are tricking him. Also he's never done anything wrong ever.

[-] Binturong@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I'm not interested in this fucking traitorous little gnome's attempts to backpedal from fully supporting this fascism. There is no redemption arc for him.

[-] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Joe Rogan always finds the right answer, after trying everything else first.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago

I think that's too generous.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

More like: occasionally Joe Rogan says something that is actually true.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Something something broken clock

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Joe just says whatever gets clicks. He’ll be rationalizing why the files haven’t been released on a show next week.

[-] fyrilsol@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 4 months ago

Oh fuck you, Joe. You'll say anything to keep heads tuned into your shitty program.

1,500 Spotify employees are out of work because of YOU. And you call yourself "self-made".

[-] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

"Nobody could have known Trump would do any of this after I enabled him on my platform and endorsed him to my brain dead army of followers. Jamie, look that up."

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

This guy has got to be at least two evolutionary iterations behind on the tree of life.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Do I gotta read 79 comments on a cesspool web site to find out what the fuck

[-] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Both of them can go fuck themselves. Sick motherfuckers.
