Joe Rogan has suggested President Donald Trump is using ICE raids and fraud claims in Minnesota to distract people from the stalled release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    Until this asshole says the fucking words:

    “Trump is covering up the Epstein Files”

    Then he’s not criticizing Trump.

    This is what Joe Rogan and every hack psuedo-comedian podcaster piece of shit has been doing. They intentionally refuse to explicitly name drop Trump and blame him directly for literally everything he does.

    It gives these assholes plausible deniability to the dipshit MAGA crowd to say “I wasn’t criticizing dear leader! I was criticizing X cabinet member or person he appointed! Its there fault! Trump is still our infallible god!”

      Absolutely 100% right.

      The media was reporting that he thought ICE was being gestapo-like, and he didn’t say that at all.

      The way it was reported was legitimate journalistic negligence; this guy is a full-on reactionary.

        I’m still convinced Elon Musk and other billionaires are sneaking him money under the table to be their not so covert PR guy.

    It’s a little bit like claiming Hitler invaded Poland to distract from his bad policies… But if Epstein is the thing that allows his followers to say “that’s a bridge too far” then so be it.

    Joe sounds like he just woke up from a nap on a lot of things lately.

    Yeah, FFS, Joe. Of course he is. Aren’t you so fucking happy you helped to put him into office?

      There’s a non-zero chance this is the first time he’s been sober this decade.

    Joe Rogan becoming an overdue antifascist would be a hilarious twist of history. Like I don’t think he’s ever going to be a leftist, but he seems to somehow be less brain dead than a lot of Americans, and fuck that’s sad.

    Joe still defends most of project 2025 so fuck him all the way. The media is just giving him props for almost nothing besides a few cherry picked comments.

        He’s entertaining to dumb people and useful to the very wealthiest. You don’t need to accuse Rogan of being clever, he got celebrity status and used it to get a job from the closest thing to a demon on earth.

    Joe Rogan can asphyxiate himself on his own farts since he loves the smell of his own brand so much. Rogan helped put Trump in power, and was happy to do so because he was making money off the MAGA grift. Unless he comes out and denounces Trump, admits he was wrong, and apologizes, it’s all fucking posturing to keep the grift flowing.
