Hilarious. I can't stop laughing. Is the dope shop open already? Asking for a friend.

He might seem to you to be apolitical but his message is decidedly right wing. He appeals to way more people on the right than the left.

You must be extreme leftist if you think Joe Rogan is right wing.

One American lives near me in Chiang Mai is convinced the podcast he follows is fact checked before release (fact checked by who - never any response).

He's right now telling all that the Ukraine president is a fake cut out and is leading Ukraine into communism). Plus Putin is admired by 90% of Americans and ready to support trump in next US elections.

Also tells all his podcast says all americans will soon rise up and assassinate biden, obama, and mark miley.

I think this misses the point entirely.

 

In general JR doesn't discuss or entertain points of view that would be appealing to today's Left. That doesn't mean JR is 'right wing'.

 

He also doesn't do exclusively political topics I gather so if the Left had any interest beyond free money and homosexuality they could find some topics interesting. Yet, they only seek the sound of their own shrill voices.

 

The logic fails.

 

TBH I've never listened to his podcasts (caught bits on yt) but his COVID 19 guests were excellent.

 

If you only care about free money, homosexuality that's gonna be a limited world. Don't blame Joe.

Kind of sad isn't it?   It's obvious ozimoron 's entire life is spent online trolling people and has no understanding at all of the real world.

NATO as feeble as ever.

 

CHIPS - yesterday's war

 

Biden has nothing to do with strength of dollar.

 

These were all entirely weak. Please try again. I realize you need to grasp at straws but do aim higher

Anybody spot the doublethink here. The economy is a catastrophe? Really? Not even close to true. The US is leading the F\& and most developed nations in its recovery and in battling inflation. Unemployment is at historically low levels. But apparently when worldwide inflation followed the covid pandemic, that was Biden's fault.

But if the dollar is strong, he gets no credit.

As for NATO being feeble as ever, tell that to Finland and Sweden.

 

For someone who claims such lofty academic credentials, you seem remarkably unfamiliar with the practice of backing up assertions with actual evidence.

Real journos interupt guests and force their views onto others 5555

 

Rogan is 100x better than most journos

 

Rich Roll is another good podcaster

 

555 this is such a whiny, low IQ thread. Asseannow has now come to this. A sad ending. Think of how epic it was in late 90s. It's a microcosm of of own dysfunctional countries and economies I suppose.

 

The notion that western economies are in anything but the toilet is nothing short of a lie.

 

Imagine Biden will be running ???? on the economy ????

We wish we all had your IQ. God wasn't kind to some of us.

I like Joe Rogan and listen/watch to his podcasts all the time. He's pretty entertaining and has some interesting guests. I don't think he's particulalrly right-wing (although a lot of his audience are) and he has got into trouble in the past regarding covid and vaccinations (https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/02/joe-rogan-covid-vaccine-misinformation/622040/) which he eventually had to backtrack on.

He gives his OPINION and this is nothing more than that. If you looked at Trumps first couple of years you could quite easily argue he was riding the coat-tails of Obama who left a VERY healthy economy (https://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/obamas-final-numbers/) after possibly the largest financial meltdown in history (under a GOP government I may add). 

My issue with JR's take on this is the cherry picking. Trump was in power for 4 years and all JR is talking about is his first 2 years. That's a bit disingenuous as although Covid wasn't Trumps fault, many could argue he handled it dreadfully both in terms of health (largest number of deaths) and economically, adding more than any other POTUS to the national debt ($8 trillion overall but a large chunk BEFORE covid for his stupid tax cuts for the wealthy). His deregulation may have pleased business but it did very little for the protection of the environment and I certainly don't agree that 'the intelligence agencies colluding to keep a guy from being president........' Trump seems to have done a very good job of doing this to himself.

Obviously the Trump devotees on here won't see it that way but these are FACTS not opinions so if you do want to counter, please try and do it with some facts of your own (I'm not holding my breath).

How long do you think it took Putin to mobilize for that 2020 invasion? Putin anticipated that Trump would get a second term and had committed himself long before the election was lost. Putin l;aunched that invasion BECAUSE he thought Trump would destroy NATO for him and veto help for Ukraine. Trump had form in that direction.

What a pile. 

 

That invasion was in 2022 but the Donbas had been partially occupied since at least 2014, with frequent fighting. Putin had massed a further 100k extra troops near the Ukrainian border by late 2021, right after the calamitous US departure from Afghanistan. Let's go Brandon!

And the same would be the other way around with Trump.

Actually, the US began its final withdrawal from Afghanistan on Feb 20, 2020. Huge concessions were made to the Taliiban. Their transgressions met with little response.

I'm not referring to the Donbas invasion, only the recent invasion. It was long planned.

There's a logical fallacy called Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc. It's Latin for "after this, therefore because of this.". You've just offered an example.
