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

      He’s frightened by all his stock bottoming out.

          Don’t worry, I don’t.

          In the early days, when he and his buds just got high, and talked about conspiracy theory bullshit, it was mildly amusing, in a “Let’s get high, bro” kind of way.

          I was never a regular listener/watcher, and dropped it completely when he obviously started taking Right Wing money.

        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

      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.

        I honestly think Rogan is just an idiot. He was also speaking out against Trump’s deportation policy recently.

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

      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.

        This exact reasoning to why they are backing out in support because they are financially hurt and it’s a massive blow. Even Ben Shapiro was talking against the tariffs, was definitely not on my bingo card for 2025.

          The grifters have to be careful if they are financially tied to Putin though, many of them are. And Putin stands to gain from a weakened USA.

        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.

    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.

    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?

      You don’t have to a genius to understand when your stock lost 1/2 to 3/4 of it’s value, that’s bad.

      He let Trump say to Rogan’s face that Trump never said “Lock her up”. Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.

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

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

        Well, to be fair, he’s built like a brick shithouse, and he is an actual Tae Kwon Do, and Jujitsu expert. He’s the real deal, in that respect. I’m pretty confident that he could kick the shit out of all of us. But, to his credit, he seems laid back, and chill, and not the violent aggressive type.

        He’s just a meathead dudebro of average intelligence, and the gift of gab, that got lucky. Good for him on that.

        But, giving truly evil people a platform to spread their poison… not cool. You have more money than you can ever spend, Joe. Stop enabling the poisoning of young minds.

        His Stoner Zen Badass persona is why teenage boys, and adults with the minds of teenage boys love him.

          Agree, he feasts on insecure men. He also doesn’t really care about truth, which bothers me. So he’s a charlatan who profits on the gullible. Not a big leap.

        Hey, don’t bad talk bonobos. They’re sensitive, intelligent creatures, unlike this human shaped slime mold.
