Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He spent the whole segment both siding.

Rogan is a piece of shit

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 101 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And is partly your fault, Joe.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 48 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A big part. A very big part. Like so many LAMF MAGATs these days. It's no consolation because despite the complaints the majority would do it all again in a heartbeat. They have not learned the most important lesson.

But still, I'll take it. Anything to speed up what must come sooner or later.

Supposedly Kamala was in Texas to do Rogan’s podcast right before the election, but at the last minute he turned her down so he could do a podcast with Trump.

He can be right sometimes while still being irrelevant to me.

Is that the one where Trump just literally never showed up for a rally and people just sort of left eventually?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

irrelevant

rogan's been paid half a billion dollars by spotify. he deluded his followers. we're all paying the price.

Joe Rogan will conveniently forget this ever happened in an hour.

Total piece of shit

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Helps enable evil,

"are we really going to be evil?"

[–] JHRD1880@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember when Rogan and all the other podcast bros were standing behind Trump when he won ?

Fuck off Rogan, you voted for this you piece of shit.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Fuck off Rogan, you voted for this you piece of shit.

he poisoned the minds of millions of idiots.

THANKS SPOTIFY!

[–] dissentiate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Joe, you're a barely sentient potato. Trump LITERALLY told people, fucking repeatedly, that they were going to do mass deportations before he took office. Joe, in between tripping on freebased cat litter or whatever the fuck you're into these days, did you ever wonder HOW these deportations would have been enforced?

Pity for the the people who made the clearly unforgivable mistake of not being born as Aryan poster child in this fine country. They are being forced from their homes and lives because you voted for a group of ethnostate terrorists. Nothing about this is gentle, humane, or voluntary. You don't get to suddenly question jack-fucking-shit about their tactics like it's a new development; they were teabagging the media with details repeatedly for months on end while you glazed over Daddy coming home.

I look forward to the day you grow up, sober up, and then shut the fuck up once you realize you carried water for a fascist takeover.

[–] tgcoldrockn@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They don't deserve that disrespect. Potatoes have improved many our lives.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They saved that guy on Mars, too.

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

For sure, but when he says the right things to disillusion a fraction of the supporter base, let's recognize that even if he is a part of the problem.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.myserv.one 59 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes Joe people voted a NAZI into office so you get the Gestapo.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yeah, but if a manly man like Joe and his chud listeners would have voted for a lady Democrat they would have all become soy boys or something.

They had no choice, the Democrats made them do this...

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 days ago

Fuck Joe Rogan

He gives right wingers a platform, he supports their lies, he is part of the problem and he should never be listened to again

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Going to be?

As in, start being nazis?

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Rogan is a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator. Of course it will be hard for him to say anything against the man right now. Plus, with Rogan, it's always a possibility that he's just so stupid that he doesn't realize how far he's already gone and how much he's been manipulated.

Leave this guy in his YouTube trashcan where he belongs. I don't wanna see his face or hear him. nothing. You know what I mean.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Acting like he didn't help these nazis get in charge

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Joe needs to get that hotdog costume.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Legitimately one of the most pathetic losers of our era.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Joe, you are completely behind current events. There is no "going to be" here. They already are.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Fuck you Joe. You give these obvious con men a platform to spew their bullshit then act surprised when it boosts their popularity. He's a complete fucking tool

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like,… dude’s gotta be acting at this point right?

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

I do think he's authentically pretty stupid, but I would also believe it's for money. He's had "moments of clarity" before, then changed his tune pretty quick. May be acting up again to get attention or some hush money.

[–] Kn1ghtDigital@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago

Eat shit and die, Rogan.

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

FUCK THIS POS

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Joe Goebbels Rogan should know this.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago
[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"I didn't vote for THIS!"

How did the guy that fed people bugs end up being so influential?

Oh right, I guess the idiot loudmouth with a stupid combover was given a game show and then used that to launch himself into the WH, too...

The dumbest fucking timeline. I just don't get the appeal of Joe. He might come off as "authentic", but he also comes off as completely uninformed....

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

He comes off as stupid as fuck.

If I find out someone listens to Rogan's podcast I immediately start treating them like a special needs individual.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

There's definitely some willful ignorance in there too

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (4 children)

"we" huh? as in he identifies himself as part of their group? while acknowledging that they're Nazis? interesting.

TL;DR : Yes.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Going to be? They already are. 100%

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 days ago

Kamau Bell posted a video about this, and how when you have a kid you teach them something, they say they got it, and a week later they ask about it again; and Joe Rogan is like that except he’s a full adult and he’s doing it with fascism.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Who listens to Alex Jones Jr anymore? He's jumped the shark

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Do you know anyone that actually listens to Rogan?

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 2 points 1 day ago

As a middle aged white dude in IT, I no longer tell people I listen to podcasts because I’m sick of “ oh yeah, I listen to Rogan too” (I’ve never once listened to one of his shows).

He’s listened to by millions of “normal” dudes.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

spotify?

compare what they pay rogan to what they pay out for musicians. that dipshit got half a billion fucking dollars.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I really don’t give a shit what this idiot has to say. His opinions are not well sourced and change every other day anyway. While he might have actually said something that makes sense this week, next week he’ll just be saying the opposite.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

.... and the last horse finally crosses the finish line
