My dad was a WW2 P-47 fighter pilot. If he was still alive, he would be heartbroken over the state of our nation. He fought to save us from what is happening now.

My Dad was a Vietnam veteran and one of the last honorable Republicans. He would be rolling over in his grave to see the way Trump and his minions have prostituted the party for their own despicable agenda.

My dad was also a WW2 P-47 fighter pilot. I'm thankful he isn't alive to see what's happening to our country. He would be devastated.

Not just yours my friend. Not just yours. But I will not allow them to die in vain. Not for this orange piece of crap.

My father was with the 63rd division. They were called blood and fire. They liberated some of the sub camps. They killed a lot of Nazis. I don’t think my father favor alive today would be heartbroken but I know he would be pissed and I also believe that if his generation was around today, Trump and the trash in his orbit would not be allowed to exist. The PTSD that he suffered wasn’t because of what he did, it was because of what he saw.

My dad was one of the allied airmen that ended up in Buchenwald. He saw many terrible things too. 😪

We’ve been told that people are good or neutral but only choose to do bad things. I don’t know who came up with that but I used to believe that Candy ass stuff because it sounded good but the longer I live the more I know it’s not true and that there are people who are way beyond any kind of redemption. It is tragic that these people are allowed to interact with human society when they get so easily be Or exterminated.

Joe Rogan might have millions of followers….but step back and look at the price our country has paid for his very POOR JUDGEMENT. The sheep who follow him because he's Americas idea of a real man🤢🤮, and haven't the intelligence to think for themselves, voted for the American version of Hitler! If an adult couldn't see that our president is sexually ill, morally ill and is a convicted criminal with 2 impeachments and still chose him partially because of Rogan's high praise is pathetic! Rogan is basically a moron with millions of followers so what does that say about US? Now if David could get Millions of followers the country and world would be in a much better place!

I am not disagreeing with you, but the sheep who follow him might actually listen to him & have their own epiphany ... at this point, I'll take real help from whoever is giving it.

You forgot his 34 felony convictions!

And Noem is kind of abdicating air time to her assistant who is clearing as amoral as she is! From David’s post:

“Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement responding to the ruling that the agency "is taking appropriate and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers and the public from dangerous rioters." She said agents have faced assaults, vandalism and other threats, but have "followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary."

LIKE A FIREARM AT A WOMAN SEATED IN HER CAR- right- that rings true!!! NOT

"We remind the public that rioting is dangerous—obstructing law enforcement is a federal crime and assaulting law enforcement is a felony," McLaughlin said.

What are they doing to protect our citizens from dangerous ICE GUYS? And why can they wear “POLICE ” as identifiers and continue to mask? Our true peace officers don’t mask for Heavens sake!!

The “rioting” happens due to the violence ICE USES TO RILE PEACEFUL PROTESTORS.

Is assaulting bystanders a felony? Do you see the agents shoving people who aren’t doing a thing obstructive and pepper spraying people including infants thru their car vents because they’re so afraid for their safety?? None of this is anything but theatre to control that narrative that Stephen Miller floats that we are all criminals

if we don’t bend the knee and kiss whoever’s ass happens to be in favor with Trump-🤔hmmm speaking of asses, WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES? He’s throwing so much garbage at the wall hoping something will side track our proving what a moral deviant he is!!

Shirley Jenkinson's avatar

Very well said. Couldn't have said it better myself. But what he doesn't realize is when all this goes to s***. He's going to lose a lot of followers. And I can't wait!. I was one of them. Because a lot of times he made sense. Until he didn't. He's just another bigot. With a big mouth.

Come on Joe Rogan there’s still hope left for you!!! Keep finding the truth and speaking it!! 💗🙌🙏

Shirley Jenkinson's avatar

Oh does he have a new truth now? He was all about Trump. And kissing his assets. He was warned people begged him not to vote Trump. But he thinks he knows everything.

Somebody’s Grandma's avatar

He is speaking the truth about Trump’s gooney gestapo. I don’t know about his personal truth or whatever it is you’re trying to question me about!?

Thanks for the info. I’m glad to hear that he’s had his eyes open for much longer than I thought!

I'm skeptical about Rogan’s “face turn.” However, he’s really good about putting his finger in the air and telling which way the winds of popular opinion are blowing. Maybe he's sensing that people in the US don't want a dictatorship.

Shirley Jenkinson's avatar

There's an old saying when somebody shows you who they are, do yourself a favor and believe them.

MaryKay's avatar

It took him a really LONG time to realize we have a very serious series of problems now. I hope he stays in touch with the reality of what is unfolding vs the grandstanding of Donald Trump and a lot of people. Many, who did not see ANY of this coming. It is actually the calculated destruction of Democracy, disregard for The Constitution many have defended with their lives for decades. Props for Rogan speaking out, hope he sticks with pointing out the slide into Dictatorship.

Shirley Jenkinson's avatar

But is it because you truly believes it?. Or because he's got to keep his followers. And do not trust. Joe Rogan, until Joe Rogan proves himself. And he hasn't done that yet. He just sits on the fence and jumps to whatever side he agrees with at the moment.

Joe Tye's avatar

It says a lot that Joe Rogan is saying the things that the cowards in Congress, who were elected to serve and protect their constituents and the Constitution, do not have the courage to say.

Of course some will rationalize away Rogan's new point of view, but Rogan is popular for 'telling it like it is', and being a guy, just like them. Rogan is not the guy the hard core haters that make up the extremists of MAGA, he is the guy who made it comfortable to believe the lies Trump was saying. Joe had casually ignored the statements Trump had made that signaled this was coming.

But now Trump's choices are a punch in the face and VERY hard to ignore.

We have time to find out if Rogan has a functioning memory and will remember later that Trump is STILL the same bad guy. Rogan has not yet come out boldly against Trump, just criticizing some of his choices.

It is quite possible Joe simply decided he had to say what much of his audience was saying, just to take the sting out of it, to not lose that much of his audience. I suspect Trump will lose many people through this, but that the bleeding will stop eventually, just like it has for all his prior sins.

The real problem comes in when people like Rogan later stop talking about the murder(s) and just shift to a new topic and go back to 'business as usual. The leads their audience to rationalize that it wasn't such a big deal after all, and so the bar gets lowered - all the way to hell.

David's avatar

Now a warning?! Smarten up faster joe!

MaryKay's avatar

I guess the masks, weapons, harassment and brutality-with a threat by Trump to invoke the "insurrection act" helped him understand his role in supporting Trump was dangerous for the USA. 🙄

Hound's avatar

Joe Rogan is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and he’s pretty much saying this shit his audience wants to hear. He said a lot of stupid things over the years like when he said that nasty Rhonda Rousey could beat Floyd Mayweather in a fight. His followers actually believed that And then after Holly Holm knocked the crap out of her he had egg on his face.

I’m hoping that Rogan is saying this not so much that he believes it and I think he does believe it but because his audience is waking up to the fact that because of Trump and his Nazis have turned what was left of our republic and democracy into what can best be described as a, shit hole country.

Trump knows he’s losing support and he doesn’t care. As long as he pushes his Nazi agenda and continues to serve corporatism/fascism he’s happy. Most people don’t really understand what Trump is all about. He doesn’t really care what people think of him because he’s a Malignant narcissist. He thinks everybody in the world is full of shit. He thinks he has no equal.

This is how it always goes. People don’t “change their minds.” They change when the footage gets too loud to mythologize. Turns out authoritarian aesthetics stop being fun when they start looking like the villain montage.

Sloe Rogaine needs to grow a set of balls on top of some hair!

He's a fascist POS who misled his brain dead MAGAT audience from the start.

He's a High Plains Grifter....any dollar or two will do, Democracy be damned!!

Rogan is as bad & rotten as MADGE HAG T. GREENE....scumbags. Rogan is a pathetic inconsequential blow-hard like Alex Jones & the late Rush Limbaugh, all disgusting thugs. I recall how smug & smirky Rogan was when he hosted that disgusting TV reality show where people tried to attack their fears & phobias. Would Rogan get into a tank of snakes or bugs? He seemed to take delight in watching the contestants do all of these creepy & disgusting things. Never liked Rogan nor thought he was much of an actor. How he got where he is shows just how pathetic our media outlets are, just a big tough jerk only interested in his bank account & how much money & power he can get. He's no better than Trump, he's a total POS. He's also no better than the scumbags pricks & bitches on FOX news or writing for the toilet rag NY POST.

Unfortunately, before Rogan admits that ICE is acting like the Gestapo, he repeats the lie that Democrats are bringing in foreigners to vote for Democrats. Anyone familiar with the immigration system and what is necessary to become naturalized realizes that is a lie. But MAGAt land is filled with people ignorant enough to swallow that lie, hook, line and sinker.

Not kidding: a guy living 2 blocks from me is on trial for impersonating ICE. I had no idea he was a bigot (it never came up in conversation), but he donned his TEMU/Amazon gear and threatened his Hispanic neighbors with a VERY REAL assault rifle. I live in a mostly-White town of 800 that's 40 miles from anywhere, so if it is happening HERE...

We need to remove their masks and demand real badges/ID if they are going to play dress-up policeman with very real guns and murder our fellow Americans.
