And all the LR lefties rush to attack Rogan because they're skeeeeered of a some thoughts that might offend their totalitarian utopia.

He could play this video of the Young Turks saying the N word over and over and over!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6FIUoLqSJM

Just curious, Flagpole, who do you think has more journalistic integrity, Joe Rogan or Rachel Madow?

By definition, Joe Rogan isn't capable of doing a smart thing.

The 11,000,000 views he gets per episode casts doubt on your assertion.

You must think Kaitlyn Jenner is a genius.

You might be on to something. Even better, would be Joe Biden without his handlers. I would definitely do PPV on that one. Won't happen. Next would be George Soros. His chicken sh1t arse would never.

Can you imagine the content that would come out of that? No handlers. No teleprompters (I’m Ron Burgundy?) No Rupp certified questions with canned and memorized answers.

It would be epic.

Questions about who the people are he’s going to “get in trouble with”. His relationship with a known kkk guy for YEARS. Hunter’s laptop. His daughter’s inappropriate showers. The Afghanistan debacle.

Do your research. Use of the N word was not directed at anyone. It was done in reference to comedy bits from red skelton, discussing rap lyrics, etc. Bad idea for a white guy to even say it, but it’s not like he was calling someone that. HUGE difference. Context matters. Of course, no facts can dissuade your preconceived bias, so this is just wasted time anyway.

The best thing he can do is change nothing. It’s working. People are getting bent out of shape due to his massive following. Maybe invite some more mainstream narrative thinkers and question their viewpoint. However, I don’t think the mainstream thinkers will want to go on his podcast.He’s not wrong for saying that losing weight, eating healthy and exercising is the best thing you can do right now. However, it’s not going to happen for 99% of people that aren’t already doing that. It’s entertainment and some of it is educational. Some of it is incorrect, which is what happens when you chat with someone for 3 hours. If you don’t like the content, don’t listen. 

Flag is a joke… made what , did what..? I suppose from memory he’s made a few bucks on the stock market or something shallow…. Liberal thinking, sheep, elitist, holier-than-thou, shill for pharma.

It might be a smart business move for Rogan, but it would be an incredibly dumb thing for Trump to do. The episodes are like 3-4 hours. Given that much time to talk unfettered, Trump would say enough to incriminate himself for treason.

Guarantee he's invited Trump, but it's not in Trump's best interest to do it

Trump presents himself as a multibillionaire global businessman with so much corporate business going on.  It is a bit surprising that such a successful guy seems to need to be on Twitter and post over a hundred times a day (before the ban) and also chime in on dumb minor issues of the day just like this.  

I'm just spitballing here so bear with me.  But, Do you think maybe Trump is not quite the successful corporate powerhouse that he makes himself out to be?  Is that remotely possible?

Even as biased as Rachel Maddow is, that is an easy answer. Rachel Maddow by a mile.

1) Joe Rogan isn't a journalist.

2) Joe Rogan is a moron. Rachel Maddow is very smart with the Stanford University and Oxford graduate education to prove it.

3) Rachel Maddow uses facts to support her opinions. Joe Rogan uses brologic, misinformation, and stupidity to support his.

Rachel Maddow is biased of course by a mile in her politics.  But she is head and shoulders more intelligent and well spoken than the bug eating show host.  Her book Bagman is an excellent telling of a story that slipped through the cracks. 

I’m no Trump expert but he started with money and grew it considerably with real estate investing. It’s not exactly rocket science, but he did graduate from Wharton, so he can’t be as dumb as the left portrays. He might be egotistical and crazy, but not dumb. 

He’s definitely had his share of business failures, and what the average person doesn’t get is that it’s often better to file Chapter 11 then to see things through and let money continue to bleed. If you haven’t failed in business you probably haven’t succeeded either. 

I’m no Trump fan, but I also don’t see any massive changes for the better since he left office. I’m sure he would not sit down with Rogan unless scripted and limited to an hour. Rogan probably has no interest in that, and he’s not even a Trump supporter. Im fairly certain he did not vote for Trump. 

Correct. I would describe Joe Rogan as a window licker, though.

Whoa, brother! No, no, no!

1) Trump inherited several hundred million dollars. Had he simply invested that money in an index fund, he would be worth more today than he is. He is widely considered one of the worst businessmen in America.

As a Businessman, Trump Was the Biggest Loser of All

John Cassidy

Many Americans still believe that the President is a savvy and successful businessman who knows what he is doing. But the actual record suggests the exact opposite.

Link:www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/...

2) Trump paid someone to take his SATs to get into UPenn. Do note that he received a Bachelor's Degree from there, and he has no graduate degree. Did he pay people to do his work at school for him? Likely. His grades are a secret, but he did not graduate with any kind of honors whatsoever.

3) One of Trump's college professors called him the dumbest student he had ever seen.

4) Trump is not smart. He is not a savvy businessman. Forbes had him at $3.1 billion net worth at the beginning of his presidency and now has him at $2.5 billion net worth. He lost that much value during a time when everyone and their brother increased their net worth by a lot?

Trump is a loser by any measure.

Don't forget the fake Alias that Trump fabricated and named "John Barron".  Why would a successful billionaire need a fake alias?  Well, Trump himself was John Barron and He would call around NY pretending to be his own spokesman and lie about stuff like his actual wealth.  Like in 1984 when he lied about his father's assets being his.  Turns out his real assets were only 1% of what Trump (John Barron) said they were.  You should listen to Trump's court deposition.  If Trump did not start laundering Russian money he would have never been bailed out. 

Yep. His criminality has kept him afloat so far. Money laundering, tax and bank fraud, cheating workers out of what was owed to them, etc. He will go down in history as one of the biggest failures in American history...failed as a President, failed as a businessman, obviously failed in his personal life.

The number I’ve seen is $60M, which converts to $413M in today’s dollars. If true, you can’t just simply say put it in the S&P and you’d be richer today. He’s been spending huge amounts of money of a lavish lifestyle including private jets with Trump logo on the side. Not a Lear jet, but a commercial size Boeing or Airbus. The costs to run those even in the 80s and 90s would eat away at the $60M very quickly. 

You obviously don’t like him, and I get it. How much did he pay in each divorce? How many homes did he give away? To say he’s not a good businessman because he could have dumped it all in the S&P is Monday morning quarterbacking at best and misleading at worst. The Forbes estimates are very unreliable, especially when a lot of the holdings are not public and easily valued. 

Enough about Trump for me. I hope he doesn’t run in 2024. But I won’t pretend like he’s a clueless idiot that paid his way all the way to the highest office in the country.
