When someone as fucking stupid as Rogan is questioning the idiocy of a policy you know it's gotta be bad.

[-] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He's frightened by all his stock bottoming out.

Nah like the other grifters he's more worried about his supporters turning on him once they have no jobs or can't afford anything because of the tariffs, hence no money they can grift from them.

All these fucking idiots spent at least 4 years scouring the globe to find the world's best shit sandwich chefs, to source premium, wagyu quality bullshit from the finest international suppliers...

And now they don't enjoy eating the sandwich.

Gulp it down fuckos, yum yum yum, you wanted this.

I'll also throw Aiden Ross into this group. Actual sub room temp IQ idiot zoomer streamer, MAGA cultist/propigandist, who rose to fame by quite literally sniffing Andrew Tate's farts ...

(I am not joking, he did a video with Tate where at one point Tate gets up from his chair and leaves the shot, Aiden sneakily gets up and huffs the seat of the chair)

... yeah this dumb fuck had a stream in the last 24 hrs where he said he has taken an 8 figure loss on presumably his stocks and crypto from this Trump crash.

That is at least 10 million dollars, bare minimum.

This... Is the best thing I have read about all of these MAGA goons. Quote of 2025 for me.

There you are.

He was all in until it fucked with his money. Which he has more than enough to live at least 5 lives, in opulence.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 14 points 1 week ago

I'm just pissed that people like that end up with so much money in the first place

[-] b161 6 points 1 week ago

That’s capitalism baby. It’s a system for turning anything and everything into a thing with a monetary value - and those who are the best at exploitation rise to the top. Narcissists, psychopaths, those who lack any kind of empathy or desire for a sustainable future.

They are questioning it now… not before he got elected even though he clearly said he would be this stupid in his campaign.

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 75 points 1 week ago

100% it's because they are being financially hurt and no other reason. I know for sure that Portnoy has been complaining about losing millions.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

What did they think would happen? Dumb fucks.

[-] ChristmasApe@discuss.online 8 points 1 week ago

So there _is _a silver lining!

[-] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Speculative millions. You don't lose anything if you don't sell.

But, you can't use that stock as collateral on loans to fund your lifestyle when that stock is worthless.

So sad.

Wait, not Joe Rogan the global trade expert? Oh. Then why do we care what he has to say on it one way or the other?

[-] aaron@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

He's built like a steroided bonobo at 5'6" and speaks really confidently. The insecure males can't get enough of it.

[-] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, to be fair, he's built like a brick shithouse, and he is an actual Tae Kwon Do, and Jujitsu expert. He's the real deal, in that respect. I'm pretty confident that he could kick the shit out of all of us. But, to his credit, he seems laid back, and chill, and not the violent aggressive type.

He's just a meathead dudebro of average intelligence, and the gift of gab, that got lucky. Good for him on that.

But, giving truly evil people a platform to spread their poison... not cool. You have more money than you can ever spend, Joe. Stop enabling the poisoning of young minds.

His Stoner Zen Badass persona is why teenage boys, and adults with the minds of teenage boys love him.

[-] aaron@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

Agree, he feasts on insecure men. He also doesn't really care about truth, which bothers me. So he's a charlatan who profits on the gullible. Not a big leap.

[-] ngdev@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

watch a video of him sparring, the dude is not an expert by any metric

He let Trump say to Rogan's face that Trump never said "Lock her up". Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.

More like wait until shit happens that directly affects them too

Rogan is an idiot and a douchebag. Portnoy might be an idiot too.

A complete idiot understands that this is madness. That's we are right now.

Before the election anyone who read entry level economics understood this.

"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting"

Imagine: voting not for any particular benefit for you or other Americans, not for the good of the country, but voting to HURT a specific set of people.

I don't know if i should be amused, that even Musk is reacting like he didn't think Trump was going to pull this through or rather alarmed that Trump really is unhinged.

It's not like Trump wasn't talking about tariffs a long time before enforcing them.

I'll just be both.

Joe will change his mind about this in about a week and reverse course.

[-] b161 7 points 1 week ago

He changes his opinions based on whoever spoke to him last.

Thanks to PBS for constantly covering the views of seething, frothy mouthed fascists as though they're people with opinions we should consider

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's because it hurts their bottom line, basically they can't grift anymore with lies if the conservatives don't have jobs and they start blaming Republicans and their policy, they will lose viewer ship to their shows or podcasts. It is the reason they have been quiet all of the sudden much like the situation with Luigi early on.

Oh thank God. Joe Rogan is going to be the adult in the room. Crisis averted fellas!

The best part is, Trump is literally doing everything he said he was going to do without any deviation. All you had to do was listen to what he was saying he would do, and you would have known where we would end up.

So you shouldn't be questioning Trump's choices as much as questioning yourself for not knowing what they would be.

[-] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

He's still got like 40% approval rating. So many Americans are just stupid.

"Questioning".

LOL

Nothing matters until Rupert turns on him.

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I know this is a hot take, but I used to respect how he did his podcast back in the day. Never liked him and always thought he was a garbage human but he at least tried to bring all kinds of people with different view points on. And than as soon as he got "fuck you" money he turned out just to be like any other "bro" with fuck you money. And I am so sick and fucking tired of rich people bitching about losing their money now after so many regular people have been suffering under this administration. It's only a problem now because it affects you. Like, you all knew he was going to dismantle the government and y'all are just pissed he is fucking you over when you thought you'd be part of the in crowd when he took over. Y'all thought this was only going to affect minority groups and poor people and were perfectly fine letting everyone else but you suffer. And I don't wanna hear any of that "I DiDn'T kNoW He WaS gOnNa Do tHiS" bullshit because they all knew this was going to happen while they played games with millions of people's lives for money and power.

Sorry for the rant. I'm just getting really really really impatient with all this bullshit.

Edit: I was gonna specify this was about Joe Rogan but then realised 90% applies to all of them anyway.
