Joe Rogan sounds like the new Rush Limbaugh (over target hurl alert)

Who is this turd named Eric??

Joe Rogan is very good when he has good guests. When he was on YouTube he was top heavy with lame-ass comedians and MMA dudes. His old YouTube videos are still there.

Joe was a Bernie Bro. Everyone knows this.

Also to be fair, Rush didn’t like to endorse candidates early. To be a true Trumpist, one had to jump on at the beginning. Like my wife did.

Me? I was late to the party as well. He said all the right things, but my gut instinct (which was wrong) was telling me con artist. I DID end up voting for him in the primary, as that was the point I saw EVERYONE bagging on him, so I figured he had all the right enemies.

I’m just tired of ALWAYS getting my least favorite candidate winning the primaries. Always having to vote for the lesser of two weasels. I was afraid Trump was going to be that again.

I was never so happy to be wrong!!

Here is the actual commentary

“I really believe that if Michelle Obama runs, she wins,” Rogan said on his podcast to comedian Tim Dilllon “She’s intelligent, she’s articulate, she’s the wife of the best president that we have had in our lifetime in terms of like a representative of intelligent, articulate people .” The only thing that would stop her [Michelle Obama] is if she bought into some of these policies that are destroying businesses in America that make people scared,” he added.

In the interview, Rogan said that he predicts that Vice President Kamala Harris would be Obama’s running mate in a presidential election. “They’re going to bring Harris. Michelle Obama and Harris. Harris comes back as the vice president. Michelle Obama’s the president. We get a double dose of diversity,” Rogan said.

“They’ll win,” Dillon said. “And who’s on the Republican side? DeSantis?”

“Trump and DeSantis,” Rogan responded. “They have to make a super team. It’s the only way they win.”

The operative phrase is "a representative of intelligent, articulate people." I thought Obama was a terrible Executive who was full of bad ideas that were antithetical to America, he created racial animosity where none existed previously, he signed Obamacare, his chief regret was that he didn't wreck the 2nd Amendment more, and...well...he's a dope.

But Obama could sell. He was a great salesman. And the "intelligencia" who prefer wordsmiths over doers like Trump, fell head over heels for him. And like a millionaire who summits Everest via Sherpas carrying him to the top, Obama had the MSM and Hollywood to support him every step along the way..

I don't read Rogan as being a supporter Michelle's candidacy (though I suspect he harbors respect for Barack, and clearly he thinks there's intelligence somewhere in that couple) as much as saying that she and Kamala would be tough to beat in the popularity contest that is the Presidential Election.

Like Rush I originally supported Cruz, but throughout the primary I moved steadily towards Trump and in the end voted for Trump.

[RKBA Democrat]

Another leftist tool spouting off. Thick with hyperbole, thin with content.

[pepsionice]

You can add to your lists....Joe will invite rocket scientists, historians, experts on diets, and literally hundreds of people who’d you normally never hear from. But you won’t get any Hollywood freaks.

[Pigsley]

Nobody is the new El RUSHBO. My fav on radio is Dana Loesch. She is like a fire cracker and I am glad she is on our side. Funny, too.

[DoodleBob]

Hannity is awful on many levels....but I will ALWAYS give him props for being on the Trump Train from Day 1. Sean had Trump on his show before anyone else did, he was backing him repeatedly on TV and radio, and (as far as I can remember) he never supported Jeb!

In some ways, Hannity is like McConnell..he did one thing right. He's utterly useless but if McConnell doesn't block Merrick Garland, we get a 6-3 opinion SUPPORTING the OSHA mandate.

[daler]

I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall hearing Rush, on more than one occasion, say he was on board the day Trump came down the escalator.

[DoodleBob]

As I wrote yesterday, Stern is sort of like Lynyrd Skynyd - ground-breaking and legendary but haven’t been relevant for decades, and they carry on with a handful of original members that weren’t the brains in the original bunch.

Howie and Skynyrd are known for what they did and not what they’re doing. Rogan is on the ascent and Stern is a rich, complaining has-been.

All that’s missing is a tragic plane crash.

[al baby]

Beat me to it, I Listen to the ol windbag for his whole tenure Rogan is no Limbaugh

[DoodleBob]

Ping - more fun.

[KeyLargo]

Yes, a leftist scumbag.

How do you call a vaccine that neither stops protects against transmission nor prevents illness a miraculously effective vaccine? They are now selling the idea that we need 3,4,5 or even continuous vaccines against a virus that has a survival rate over 99.5% for all but the very old or the very sick.

Even the government now admits that at least 75%, SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT, of those that died had an average of AT LEAST 4 comorbidities. IE: They metaphorically had one foot in the grave & the other on a banana peal! All deaths are sad, but all of us will die. It is hardly a head slapper that a viral infection could cause the very sick & old to die.

[kenmcg]

Comparing Rogan with Rush is sacrilegious. Rogan couldn't shine his shoes.Rogan says Obama was a great POTUS and that Michelle would be a great candidate; give us a break.

[jimjohn]

I agree. But the other day, he had to tell denver to turn down a guests mic when he began talking since the revolver.news guy would not shut up. He should make that a standard policy to avoid what you stated above.

[JudyinCanada]

Joe Rogan is NOTHING, compared to Rush. Joe Rogan is more like the Rush Limbaugh for the younger generation. All that means is that he is popular and listened to faithfully by many, even though he is nothing like Rush.

Rush was who we listened to. It’s Rogan’s guests that attract his audience.

[metmom]

When the left melts down like this, you know you hit them hard.

[JudyinCanada]

I’m with you there, Pollard. I couldn’t stand Hannitus Interruptus, and Bannitus Interuptus is just as bad!

I do appreciate what he does, but listening to that constant cutting off and stopping his guests is infuriating.
