    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.

    Joe’s full of shit as usual.

    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.

      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.

    Glad to see Joe finally catching up with the rest of us. Dude is perpetually at least six months behind the rest of the country.
