The amount of people who consistently knew how dumb this all was and still we went towards it is infuriating

"Questioning".
LOL
More people who don't give a shit until they're personally affected.
"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.

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

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.

I didn't know Portnoy did anything except pizza reviews. What a tool.
He's still got like 40% approval rating. So many Americans are just stupid.

Nothing matters until Rupert turns on him.
I know this is a hot take, but I used to respect how he did his podcast back in the day. Never liked him and always thought he was a garbage human but he at least tried to bring all kinds of people with different view points on. And than as soon as he got "fuck you" money he turned out just to be like any other "bro" with fuck you money. And I am so sick and fucking tired of rich people bitching about losing their money now after so many regular people have been suffering under this administration. It's only a problem now because it affects you. Like, you all knew he was going to dismantle the government and y'all are just pissed he is fucking you over when you thought you'd be part of the in crowd when he took over. Y'all thought this was only going to affect minority groups and poor people and were perfectly fine letting everyone else but you suffer. And I don't wanna hear any of that "I DiDn'T kNoW He WaS gOnNa Do tHiS" bullshit because they all knew this was going to happen while they played games with millions of people's lives for money and power.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just getting really really really impatient with all this bullshit.
Edit: I was gonna specify this was about Joe Rogan but then realised 90% applies to all of them anyway.
He really did start to really suck after moving to TX with 100 Million in Spotify money.
I feel like anything outside of people punching other people his takes weren’t very good. Sure he had diverse guests but it created a platform for the bad as much as, if not more than, the good. The bad got more attention and he followed that bc $.
theyve known about it for over a year. why take so long to complain.
Local dipshits with podcast mics have thinky thoughts, film at 11.
Why should I want to save a world where Joe fucking Rogan has any relevance?
Joe how can you question our glorious leader?
Oh thank God. Joe Rogan is going to be the adult in the room. Crisis averted fellas!
Fuck em
LOL. Cunts.
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?
You don't have to a genius to understand when your stock lost 1/2 to 3/4 of it's value, that's bad.
He let Trump say to Rogan's face that Trump never said "Lock her up". Never questioned it. Fuck Rogan.
He's built like a steroided bonobo at 5'6" and speaks really confidently. The insecure males can't get enough of it.
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.
watch a video of him sparring, the dude is not an expert by any metric

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.

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