It's very funny to watch these guys, who smugly supported Trump for years, turn on him because they don't want to lose their audiences.
The gravy train is over and you have zero credibility. I hope it was worth all the money to sell your souls. None of it will ever buy back your integrity
I doubt much of his audience cares about integrity.
Proof that even idiots can sometimes see reality for that it is.
Looks that way to me. Can't see any other (real, understandable) reason.
Joe Rogan can go fuck himself for enabling this administration.
Yes, all these stupid grifter assholes who are starting to jump ship can fuck off for enabling all of this.
And THATS why I Enthusiastically voted for Him!
-Also Joe Rogan!
He's such a free-thinker! Look at how well he came to this conclusion! This forgives all the other distractions and propaganda he's been fostering!
I'm really tired of the "Noted bigot and/or idiot said something different than they usually do, that anybody with more than two braincells already knew!" headlines, and I resent them being posted on any community as "legitimate" news. It's bullshit. Their comments are bullshit. They're still the same bigoted idiot they were yesterday. This isn't useful information. At best it's ragebait, but it's more often just enabling/normalizing their shit behavior.
People regularly complain about cognitive bias and refusal to accept new facts and change your mind and then when someone does, yall say shit like this. Joe influences millions of people and him coming to the right side of history should be appreciated.
"Coming to the right side of history". He's spewing the same conspiracy bullshit he always has and always will. Any pattern will match with others at various points. It doesn't mean it's suddenly a different pattern.
We "won’t applaud those who set the world on fire just because they then show up with a bucket"
"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good", eh?
It’s not good tho. It’s barely even tolerable.
Joe Rogan can fuck right off. I don't give a shit what that moron says.
This is kind of big deal because a lot of dudes really listen to Rogan. Speaking of out of touch rich dudes, is Musk in rehab? I haven't heard anything about him lately.
He's been laying low to dodge the doge charges, but making random comments about other countries every once in a while.
We know.
Every time I see this meme, I think it's a well-rested H. Jon Benjamin for a bit.

WTF? Lemmy collapses excessive exclaimation marks. You assholes! lol
Trump himself loves the Epstein files sex scandals because they distract everyone from the Epstein files financial scandals. He was already proven a rapist in the E. Jean Carroll suit. He. Does. Not. Care.
Thanks for bringing Epstein back into the conversation, Rogan. Although I'm sure that wasn't your intention.
Old men news, the lastest news and views from two old wealthy rightwing men.
Yes, but it's kind of hard to forget about the rich fucking and possibly eating children. 🤷♂️ Try harder, orangegutan in charge.
