He might be a human sack of human shit but i do wish people would get back to talking about the epstein files. We cant just let these dick heads get away with it.
He must think there is currently more money in being critical of Trump over this than supporting it. Advice remains the same, fuck Joe Rogan, everyone should ignore him.
Who cares what that human thumb thinks?
He's like a human version of the slowpoke meme.
All the shitty dudebros you work with. I’m a middle aged, bearded, slightly overweight man, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked if I caught Rogan last night…
Correction *Joe Rogan points out the obvious fact that everyone paying attention already knows
that everybody already knew in 2014
And Melania brought the attention right back to the files.
No shit Sherlock
Correct, Rogan reflects them as much as Trump does.
Something something broken cock twice a day something
I sincerely hope he has a broken cock
I mean he fat af, super unhealthy and almost 80. That shit's been cooked for decades.
Oh, I meant Rogan but this also applies and I also approve of this.
Does that mean Joe Rogan is Abella Anderson in disguise?
please stop breaking my cock the hospital bills are insane here
TFW I'm out here agreeing with Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, and MTG. Fuck...
Competent Evil hates Incompetent Evil. Just don't forget, they're all still Evil.
Use it to your advantage but hide a knife behind your back
I wish he would just rewind 10 years a be some comedian hosting other comedians and psychonauts with funny conversations when it was understood it was all just nonsense.
It was never just funny conversations, that’s the problem. It has always been a massive podium to reach people with, and Rogan never vetted anyone or acted responsibly when airing people making unfactual claims. When it was just comedians and shit there weren’t any immediate consequences, but without that you don’t have this.

I can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. And considering how many people refer to it as "Epstein Fury", I'd say that others can display a similarly modest level of multitasking.
We seem to have forgotten the gestapo admist the war and Epstein files but we still have them too
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.
He made a lot of money doing it. That's all he cares about.
Joe represents the average American really well.

Leave it up to neanderthal Joe Rogan to finally catch on to something way, way after us homo sapiens have.
Joe Rogans thing being a monkey is very apropos, I doubt he has the capacity left for higher order thinking
He says this but he’d vote for him again if he tried to run.
Joe. He used you as a distraction. You are a tool.
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.

Stopped clock, etc, etc.
No he's just a grifter and his current bullshit is turning his base against him.
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.
Glad to see Joe finally catching up with the rest of us
No, not this. Never this.
Joe Rogan supported Trump solely because he's in the top 1% and only cares about his perpetual tax break on his riches.
He's a total fascist oligarch asshole who'll just hop onto the next pair of fascist nuts his billionaire sugar daddies tell him to.
He is irreparably evil.

He's not wrong.

In this case, Joe Rogaine is correct.
