When someone as fucking stupid as Rogan is questioning the idiocy of a policy you know it's gotta be bad.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

He's frightened by all his stock bottoming out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

This exactly, all that sweet sweet revenue from conservatives flocking to your podcasts, channel,etc suddenly disappears due as a result of supporters more concerned about the tariffs than to the brainrot podcasts

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah like the other grifters he's more worried about his supporters turning on him once they have no jobs or can't afford anything because of the tariffs, hence no money they can grift from them.

All these fucking idiots spent at least 4 years scouring the globe to find the world's best shit sandwich chefs, to source premium, wagyu quality bullshit from the finest international suppliers...

And now they don't enjoy eating the sandwich.

Gulp it down fuckos, yum yum yum, you wanted this.

I'll also throw Aiden Ross into this group. Actual sub room temp IQ idiot zoomer streamer, MAGA cultist/propigandist, who rose to fame by quite literally sniffing Andrew Tate's farts ...

(I am not joking, he did a video with Tate where at one point Tate gets up from his chair and leaves the shot, Aiden sneakily gets up and huffs the seat of the chair)

... yeah this dumb fuck had a stream in the last 24 hrs where he said he has taken an 8 figure loss on presumably his stocks and crypto from this Trump crash.

That is at least 10 million dollars, bare minimum.

This... Is the best thing I have read about all of these MAGA goons. Quote of 2025 for me.

There you are.

He was all in until it fucked with his money. Which he has more than enough to live at least 5 lives, in opulence.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm just pissed that people like that end up with so much money in the first place

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

That’s capitalism baby. It’s a system for turning anything and everything into a thing with a monetary value - and those who are the best at exploitation rise to the top. Narcissists, psychopaths, those who lack any kind of empathy or desire for a sustainable future.

They are questioning it now… not before he got elected even though he clearly said he would be this stupid in his campaign.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 4 days ago (5 children)

100% it's because they are being financially hurt and no other reason. I know for sure that Portnoy has been complaining about losing millions.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

What did they think would happen? Dumb fucks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Speculative millions. You don't lose anything if you don't sell.

But, you can't use that stock as collateral on loans to fund your lifestyle when that stock is worthless.

So sad.

So brave of these bootlickers to wait until after he fucks everything up again.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

More like wait until shit happens that directly affects them too

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A complete idiot understands that this is madness. That's we are right now.

Before the election anyone who read entry level economics understood this.

Rogan is an idiot and a douchebag. Portnoy might be an idiot too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Never heard of him, but the others are shitheads.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He founded Barstool Sports. He is an idiot.

Thanks to PBS for constantly covering the views of seething, frothy mouthed fascists as though they're people with opinions we should consider

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Wait, not Joe Rogan the global trade expert? Oh. Then why do we care what he has to say on it one way or the other?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (7 children)

He's built like a steroided bonobo at 5'6" and speaks really confidently. The insecure males can't get enough of it.

It's not what he's saying, but that he's saying it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

He let Trump say to Rogan's face that Trump never said "Lock her up". Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.

More people who don't give a shit until they're personally affected.

"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting"

Imagine: voting not for any particular benefit for you or other Americans, not for the good of the country, but voting to HURT a specific set of people.

It's because it hurts their bottom line, basically they can't grift anymore with lies if the conservatives don't have jobs and they start blaming Republicans and their policy, they will lose viewer ship to their shows or podcasts. It is the reason they have been quiet all of the sudden much like the situation with Luigi early on.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I don't know if i should be amused, that even Musk is reacting like he didn't think Trump was going to pull this through or rather alarmed that Trump really is unhinged.

It's not like Trump wasn't talking about tariffs a long time before enforcing them.

I'll just be both.

Joe will change his mind about this in about a week and reverse course.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (4 children)

He changes his opinions based on whoever spoke to him last.

It took me too long to recognize that Dave Portnoy is,in fact, not Mike Portnoy.

Oh thank God. Joe Rogan is going to be the adult in the room. Crisis averted fellas!

I didn't know Portnoy did anything except pizza reviews. What a tool.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

The best part is, Trump is literally doing everything he said he was going to do without any deviation. All you had to do was listen to what he was saying he would do, and you would have known where we would end up.

So you shouldn't be questioning Trump's choices as much as questioning yourself for not knowing what they would be.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The amount of people who consistently knew how dumb this all was and still we went towards it is infuriating
