Trump Cancels All His Events in Favor of One of the Worst People Ever

Joe Rogan belongs in the Bag of Shit Hall of Fame. First ballot hall of famer, alongside Musk and Trump.

Don't forget everyone's favorite benzo brained bedmaker Jordy Peterson!
- That might be the single worst photo ever.
- I'm not a big guy but it still surprises me every time I see how small Rogan is
- Look up crappy that cyber truck looks behind them. The door panels are already rusting.
- This moment right here, time travelers from the future. This moment.
I agree, but I think that they all share the something of the same clown quality.
I actually liked Rogan on News Radio (90s sitcom) where he played an idiot-savant repairman who could fix anything electronic, but everyone acknowledged that it would burn the place down in 48 hours if left as is. For reference, Andy Dick was also on that show. He looked competent next to Andy Dick, but not nearly as funny.
I thought Rogan really found his calling on Fear Factor, where he just urged people to eat maggot infested cheese. If that show had gone on, how different would our world look like today??
We also watched the Apprentice, but I remember it as a comedy with Trump as the butt of the joke. Did no one else get that joke?
Musk - crap on a cracker. I've heard a lot of comments on how his "pedo guy" comment changed peoples' perception of him, but holy crap. It should have come even a little bit before that. There were about a dozen children trapped in a cave in SE Asia with "hours to days" to survive, if they had even made it that long. This cave had something like a14 inch vertical choke point and muddy conditions throughout.* What does this lackwit do? This absolute knob releases footage of a prototype submarine in a swimming pool in California, being guided along by human divers and says "EMERGENCY RESPONDERS STOP WORK. I'M YOUR ONLY HOPE."
Point being: This moron does not understand what a cave is. Probably coupled with "and no one is going to tell him that."

That's what podcasts are
Edit: morons on here are no different than the ones on reddit. Nuance means nothing if anything potentially has anything to do with politics, so dumb.
Edit: I will happily leave this so everyone with more than a few braincells can see how dumb Lemmy's "masses" are
- Maybe you're the one with the shit podcast taste
- Hey everybody, we got a pizza cutter over here!
- Not All Podcasts

Not the only explanation. It's all he's ever done. It's how he lost to Hillary Clinton and still got handed the presidency anyway in 2016.

Joe Rogan is the single reason I won't touch anything Spotify with a 20 feet pole anymore.

Yep, cancelled my 10-or-so-years subscription in part because of this clown. Tidal is just as good tbh
- Same here. It was extremely easy to import my playlists. I can't recommend Tidal enough.
- Oh! So you agree with Kanye then?
Samesies.
Yep. I had enjoyed the podcast early, when it was aliens and comedians and good old government conspiracies. Not so much the mma stuff, whatever.
Then it got big and he started enjoying the smell of his own farts ( or something, allegedly). And stopped using the dmt. And it went downhill in a random walk down.
Them came spotify and i knew it was all crap from there on out. A few episodes here and there that make it to youtube ive watched , but meh.
- Fleshlight Joe was great, it started going down hill when he started selling brain pills.

Good. Have Harris go after and show the contrast between the two. She'll mop the floor with Rogan and get the last word with his audience.

Joe Rogan was never going to let Kamala Harris on the Podcast. He knows which side his bread is buttered on, and that would piss off his base. All he cares about at this point is money. He gave up the "I'm a socially liberal populist" bullshit after 2016 basically.
- I would be surprised if he let one candidate come one and refused the other. Rogan has worked pretty hard not to appear openly partisan. He also wants the views. He could pull in a shitload of viewers with a Harris interview, just like Fox did with their interview.
  Basically, yeah Rogan is clearly a piece of shit but his bread isn't buttered the same way other right wing influencers are.
Idk, it's been a looong time since I listened to his show, but I always got the impression that a good performance there just meant smoking a bowl and telling some crude jokes... I think she'll come across as presidential, which is exactly what that audience doesn't want

I am constantly dismayed when I see Rogan on he top of the charts every week. It's worse when I hear my generally reasonable and Democrat friends say they listen and that he's funny

I don't even give him the time of day anymore. The moment he comes on I just shut it down. I don't want to ever hear his stupid voice pondering if transgender aliens butt raped him cause his ass hurts so bad again.
Why the fuck would I want to hear a punch drunk future dementia patient interview people? The hawk tuah girl has ten times the charm he does and her only claim to fame is spitting on dicks.
- The hawk tuah girl has ten times the charm he does and her only claim to fame is spitting on dicks.
  And she hasn't said anything AFAIK about the gender of the dick carrier.
It's almost as if he's appealing... 🤯
- Yes, I think that is what they are dismayed about.

Headline "Man already continuously carrying so much water for fascist pieces of shit, carries just a single drop more water"

I'm a centrist lean left I swear

These kind of headlines really make us look like crackpot to the right. Joe Rogan is not one of the worst people ever.

He's a self interested comedian and Podcaster who platforms people indiscriminately. The conservatives have made themselves available to him, and he has shows to make. He has plenty of liberal guests that don't get confrontational or hostile interviews and most of his personal politics are pretty liberal.

Rush Limbagh, Alex Jones, Bill O'Reilly were all actually conservative right wing monsters.

Joe did buddy up to Alex pretty good.
- Yeah, though in his (incredibly lukewarm) defense he seemed more interested in the batshit crazy aliens-control-the-government theories than the more pedestrian conservative stuff, although the line between the two has greatly narrowed over the years.
- He's making entertainment. But he also pushed back on him alot, or at least he used to. He really lets people go off though because it's a 3 hour talk. He doesn't have to keep them on track or concise. There are lots of episodes where crackpots come on and the reaction isn't "this guy is right".
  It is a really long format show to watch and actually get context for if you don't enjoy him at all. Too many people consider him a monster just from snippets or articles, which is why I wish people would chill with the hyperbolic claims.
  He's friendly with people who are nice to him and help him provide good content for his audience. Unfortunately, the more he's villianized the more that becomes exclusively right wing shills. He's not just gonna stop the show because the people willing to book skew right. He was booking Elon before he became so publicly problematic. He is also the reason Neil deGrasse Tyson was popularized. And he has research paper authors on fairly regularly. It's a mixed bag.
- Joe was also on Alex Jones show for 9/11, so they've known each other for a pretty long time. Just back then Joe was just a buddy and not someone he could take that much advantage of. In addition, Joe pushed back more back then, but was still somewhat problematic anyway.
Inviting the loons from both sides of the aisle is why he was on horse paste during COVID. His lack of fact checking give oxygen to some of the worse people.

Trump cancels his events for.... Trump?

This is going to be a love fest. There may be hugging involved.

"I'm not biased though guys, I like weed and drugs so I'm actually not a far right hugging asshole!"
- to be fair: that's how most maga see themselves.
- Uh, rules and laws are only for democrats, poors, and minorities.
- Omg can you imagine if Rogan fiees up a dutchie and Trump, feeling like he can't be outdone since he's the "alpha male," gets way too fucked up and let's all his bullshit out like "yeah I'm only doing this for the pussy, Joe. I love pussy bigly you know I used to grab it accordion hands"
  I may also be fucked up on the dutchie
It's going to be another Musk interview with good ol' Joe gargling Trump's balls...
- Ugh. I hate that I just visualized Rogan sucking on 2 tiny orange tic tacs.

Will do nothing for his chance of winning. Either the guys were already voting for Trump or they can't legally vote.

Bonus: Trump will probably say something so stupid that it will be used to make fun of the UFC bros. Something so cringe like he could take Tyson in his prime.

How cool would it be if he takes this opportunity to do the right thing and publicly denounce him to his face?

He’s going to give him three hours to yap. That’s a lot of rope to hand Trump.
- Three hours is a long time for someone so old. Maybe two one-hour yap sessions split up by a one hour nap session?

Harris has also been in talks to sit down with Rogan for an interview, reported Reuters.

The article doesn't mention it but how come Joe Rogan gets such a top billing?

(For context I know of him as some wrestling and podcast guy, never listened to his stuff.)

He's a former actor who has used his platform to amplify shitty people. Like if Oprah was a roided out dudebro.
- I've heard about that but I was thinking there's more to it or some additional context I don't know to make him "one of the worst people ever". I know it's a hyperbole but I'm thinking there's more to this.
Is there room under that rock for me? I can just squeeze in beside you and won't bother you one bit.
- We should all huddle in together for warmth
He has the world's most popular podcast.

I had no idea he was the host of Fear Factor.

Wait until you hear he was the janitor on News Radio.
- He played the engineer, not the janitor.
- Is this true? His mouth must have caught someone's attention.

Really? One of the worst people ever? That's the top of the chart; Adolf Hitler and Joe Rogan?

Garbage "journalism" lmao

It'll be a groundbreaking interview from one of our times greatest journalists /s

what a couple of goofs
