Joe Rogan's existence lowers the quality of life for a significant number of people.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He is trying to fill the vacuum of space left by the outing of Alex Jones.

There's lots of money in it for him if he gets to that status.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

You need substance to fill a vaccum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He is our future Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Need to get this stitched and on a wall.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I miss the days when he just tried to be Art Bell.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Do any of these fuckers have any idea what "fraud" is? Or the first clue what evidence of it would look like?

I swear to God, they think they can just say it over and over, and will it into being true. Fuck them forever. Never vote Republican, and always vote.

Joe Rogan got famous playing an idiot that can't understand basic shit on a TV show...

And then we all found out he wasn't acting.

He's unapologetically ignorant but for some reason thinks he knows more than everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And yet, he is still not the worst person that was on Newsradio

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Andy Dick: the worst person in a set of people that also contains Joe Rogan.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Considering trump lost over 60 court cases for not being able to produce a single shred of evidence of election fraud, I’m afraid the answer is no, the republicans do not in fact have any idea what facts are. And they love to cry about it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They know they're lying, but if they say it enough that all their followers believe it, it doesn't have to be true.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I was pondering this only this morning. How cynical they have to be to lie so blatantly and know their followers will eat it up. And the contempt they must have for their base of idiots, knowing how easily they are led.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, they know, but only because they just became "woke".

[–] jscummy 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure a lot of them know what fraud is, unless it's more of a Kevin Malone situation where he has to have insider trading explained multiple times "because it sounds a lot like what I do every day"

Kari Lake and all her adherents are cunts. Joe Rogan and every single one of his fans are cunts. This isn't rocket science.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

It's cunt science!

Joe “knuckle-dragger” Rogan and his political takes. He keeps in contact with Alex jones who openly brags about radicalizing him. Several episodes of the Knowledge Fight podcast have shown this.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Do people still listen to Rogan?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He is popular with the type of crowd that thinks WWE is real.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, you mean the Undertaker really isn't a zombie?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pfft, what are you, an idiot? Of course he's not a zombie.

He's a revenant.

Millions listened before Spotify, but they aren't helping.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sadly he's the most listened to podcaster in the US according to some metrics.

who else is gonna stroke their egos for no reason

"I'm just asking questions!"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its amazing how much "fraud" they claim when they speak publicly yet they have nothing to say when they are under oath in a court room.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Conservatives monetized lying to people and ginning up exploitable rage. Rogan just wants his share of the take.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, let's get our news and opinions from stand up comics. What could go wrong. Fuck experts. Next time I want medical advice I'll listen to a podcast.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

He was a worse comic than pundit

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

The only “real fraud” in her election was Kari Lake.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Joe Rogan is back acne in human form. Just like Alex Jones.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yawn. Wake me up when there is actual tangible provable evidence of voter fraud. You know, besides the 2 examples of voter fraud for Trump out of 160 million votes in the 2020 election.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the evidence is on the heisenberg laptop which we can know the evidence it contains OR know the location of, but never both factors at once.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No all the missing votes are definitely on Hunter Biden's laptop

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

The real fraud is she got too many votes.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

We banned that bot site wide for those wondering wth that was.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Still seeing it on kbin

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Joe needs to lay off the drugs. You could hide a kayak under those bags around his eyes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rogan is a stochastic terrorist and enemy of people who value the rule of law, freedom and democracy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Worse. He’s a fucking selfish dick that’s willing to sell out the stability of democracy for a piece of paper.

Edit. Actually what you typed is worse. Agree that Rogan is a POS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

100% with you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Apparently, fear… is not a factor for her. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, but this is deep into stupid territory.
