      It’s so obvious that even this numbskull eventually got it, which means other MAGAs are getting it, too.

      Not all, though. Still a lot that are going to have to get kicked in the balls a few more times before they finally wise up.

      Former MMA fighter turned most popular podcaster in the country, turned maga tool. He used to be a bernie supporter I hear. Had him on his show just last year. But also pretended to believe the president even when he did that. It’s all in bad faith, he’s a cynical piece of shit.

    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.

      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.

        How was that even possible though! He was already borderline so low he had to consciously remember to breathe. Which we would all be better off if he forgot.

    Is this the consensus in the usa already? Just curious cause I’m not from there, and everywhere I look online this is the consensus (in my bubble at least).

    Edit: I know the media doesn’t admit stuff like this, but I mean consensus in like the general feeling of talking to people in real life about this war.

      We all knew it was distraction when he attacked Venezuela. And when that didn’t work, we all knew he would try something else.

      Now he’s talking about attacking Greenland again.

        Russia has him compromised as well as Israel, and they want the US out of Nato, Greenland is the president’s best idea of how to get his base behind pulling out.

          See, people keep saying this, but I seriously doubt that he has the mental capacity for that level of strategic thinking.

          If it were anyone else, JD Vance, for example, then I’d agree with you. But Trump? President shit for brains? I find that very difficult to believe.

      Pretty much everyone I know (bar for those few still religiously devoted to doing their best impression of a boot polish sommelier) seems to be on the same page about how nearly everything Trump does is a distraction from the files, and that’s been the consensus for months now, even before the Iran War.

      That said, I run in very different circles than those who make up the loyal core of MAGA, and I’ve learned to never doubt my countrymen’s ability to achieve new and rarified heights of stupidity and cognitive dissonance. I also never felt like most people even tolerated the idea of Donald Trump, and that led to an extremely unpleasant surprise in the wake of the 2024 election, so my social circle probably isn’t a particularly representative cross-section.

    Everything Trump does is either; A: a distraction from the Epstein files, or B: a grift, or C: both A and B

    I can’t agree but I also don’t have a better explanation. I think he’s just a deranged individual and trying to explain anything that he does or says is a fruitless endeavour.

      The real story is that Israel has the president dead to rights on epstein blackmail and forced him into the war. Distraction isn’t the reason for this war, blackmail is. It really is like that, and that blackmail is not relegated to the gangster president, a critical mass of the ivy league and ruling class are compromised.

      Which is to say nothing of what Russia has on them. Or corporations, other oligarchs. This is why you don’t elect corrupt aristocrat crooks to office. Now we can’t get rid of them either seemingly.

          oh, I mean, it dipped way down in the news for a few cycles, but people were still talking about it, and now it’s popped back into the news, especially since former AG Pam Bondi has, since getting fired, has decided that she can now ignore her Congressional subpoena to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding her fuckup with the release of the Epstein files.

          This is very transparently evasion and contempt of congress (a crime). How congress decides to proceed from here is anyone’s guess.
