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

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

He's frightened by all his stock bottoming out.

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.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

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.

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 76 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 9 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.

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

So there _is _a silver lining!

[–] AizawaC47@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

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.

Lol, I can hear them say, “But I just didn’t think it would ever happen to me.”

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 (3 children)

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 -1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (4 children)

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.

It's not what he's saying, but that he's saying it.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

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.

I didn't know Portnoy did anything except pizza reviews. What a tool.

I see the cheques cleared

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago

And? Damage done. Once a moron, always a moron.

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

Why should I want to save a world where Joe fucking Rogan has any relevance?

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Nothing matters until Rupert turns on him.

Joe how can you question our glorious leader?

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m assuming his roids are also being nailed by those tariffs?
