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

    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.

        Thanks lol.

        Unfortunately, I was crippled by an assault and now live off of SSDI, so if the shit eating splatters enough shit my way, I get to die homeless and starving in a wheelchair.

        God Bless America.

        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 say they are against his tariff policy but for some reason they also want to allow current and future presidents a third term…

        Putin tells these grifter to dance with Trump, or be put out to the pastures. It’s well know he funds a lot of these talking heads.

        I can’t say I’ve seen or heard of him doing that, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

        I know Aiden showed up with Trump and gave him a CyberTruck with an American Flag style wrap.

        Curiously, this was not long after Aiden literally shot the shit out of his own CyberTruck with an AR15 at close range, and was dismayed to find that it was in fact not bullet proof.

        I can’t prove it, but it would not surprise me at all if this was the same actual CyberTruck after some repairs and a wrap applied.

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

      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.

        This exact reasoning to why they are backing out in support because they are financially hurt and it’s a massive blow. Even Ben Shapiro was talking against the tariffs, was definitely not on my bingo card for 2025.

          The grifters have to be careful if they are financially tied to Putin though, many of them are. And Putin stands to gain from a weakened USA.

    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?

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

          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.

      He let Trump say to Rogan’s face that Trump never said “Lock her up”. Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.

      “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.

    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.

      Economics is taught in highschool. 54% read below a 6th grade level. I’d be willing to bet the 30% of the population that voted for Trump read below that.

    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.

    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.

    It took me too long to recognize that Dave Portnoy is,in fact, not Mike Portnoy.
