Joe Rogan has recently gained significant attention for expressing his disbelief over the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, describing the incident as "bananas" and likening it to an episode of "Black Mirror."
The incident took place on a Saturday afternoon while Trump, the leading Republican candidate, was addressing his supporters at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. As shots rang out, Trump was seen clutching his right ear while security agents swiftly moved to shield him. The FBI has since identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Crooks was shot and killed by Secret Service agents on the scene.
In the Wednesday episode of his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan discussed the surreal nature of the events with stand-up comedian Chad Daniels. A snippet of their conversation was shared by the X account @DramaAlert, accompanied by the caption: "Joe Rogan questions Donald Trump's assassination attempts... He raises a few red flags regarding how things played out." The post had garnered 412,700 views at the time of writing, while the YouTube episode had amassed 422,010 views.
Rogan expressed his incredulity, stating, "The whole thing's nuts, the whole thing stinks of either incompetence or a design, or we're in the Matrix. Like this is a f****** fake movie. To watch the most bombastic and manly of presidents—you know, for lack of a better term—to see him with these two female bumbling Secret Service agents," Rogan remarked.
He continued, "To see everything happen the way it did—to see that [the Secret Service] knew this guy was on the roof, to hear that the guy had pointed his rifle at a cop who then engaged him, only for the cop to run away. The guy climbed the roof with a ladder you can see in the footage. The whole thing is bananas. He's 20 years old, and then you find out he was in a BlackRock commercial? It's like, am I in 'Black Mirror'? Like, tell me what's going on. Is this real?"
"Black Mirror" is a sci-fi anthology series on Netflix that delves into the darker aspects of human nature set against a dystopian future backdrop. The show's name is often invoked when real-life events seem particularly unbelievable or horrifying.
Rogan noted that if the events of Saturday were depicted in a movie, he would find them implausible. "Twenty years old? And he's got this idea, and he pulls it off? He actually gets a shot off and nicks [Trump], and then they kill him? You're seeing this 20-year-old kid, his life is over. Somehow, he talked himself into trying to assassinate the president as a lone gunman in Pennsylvania, climbed onto a roof, and either through sheer incompetence or some other reason, actually got a shot off, and the president just moved his head at the right time?" Rogan queried.
Rogan then pondered whether divine intervention was at play, suggesting that perhaps God wanted Trump to remain in the spotlight to reveal "how crazy our political system really is."
"The only way we find out how coordinated everything is, whether you're a Trump fan or not, is to look at how much coordination there is in the media to go after him. It exposes this thing where you have to step back and ask, 'Wait a minute, what's really going on?'" Rogan continued.
"Whether you hate that guy or not, hate him, think he's a crook, hate him, think he's a liar, hate him, don't you think it's weird that they're all in lockstep with the way they talk about him? Even with things that aren't true?"
the same thoughts had occurred to me as well
ReplyDeleteIt walks like one and quacks like one it stinks like one. It must be one. Yep its a duck Trump would still be crying mommy if he believed he was in real danger.i know it's probably bullshit but you just have to say it. If someone is trying to eliminate Trump you could get some mileage out of this parade of clown cars
ReplyDeleteMy only thought on seeing this shitshow was, "Aw, man! An inch and a half! An inch and a half to the left and we wouldn't have to listen to his bullshit anymore!"
ReplyDeleteyep your part of the problem
DeleteNope, the problem is tRump and his MAGAt minions
DeleteFrom the first sight of this staged escapade,,, it was very amusing. Watched over and over, and found more and more comical moments. Cannot figure out how he pulled this off. If they were real agents,, Secret Service is in real trouble. Let’s stand up one more time, pump our fist, similar to Hitler, and know they’ll never prove it, for some reason. Somehow, he gets away with every crime he commits. Can’t wait to see the Jan 6 trial.🤯
ReplyDeleteTrump set it all up, If he had been hit on the ear there would have been blood running down his face, tomato ketchup just leaves a stain. And he is not that brave as to not have been clinging on to his ear, and still no more blood appeared afterwards. And it was that bad it did not even need a stich or plastic surgery. But that bandage will still be there in November. (They used SUPER GLUE).
ReplyDeleteAt that range the bullet was probably so hot that it cauterized somewhat at least part of the blood flow. An ear DOES bleed heavily. Especially considering how anciently old he is. (Probably too old to be president. I think a cognitive test should be administered ). But you can't sew an ear if it takes away the cartilage and skin. I understand it was a zing wound anyway. Look at the angle of shot. The angle of the picture of the bullet was not the one that hit his ear , by the way. It was too low , below the ear. OH but yes November at least. Probably later with the claim he's too wounded to go to prison.
DeleteHe will probably keep that kotex on his superficial wounded ear until he has to flee to Russia. Now I CAN believe that Trump would sacrifice a twenty year old kid and a firefighter for a stunt like this , but he would only be able to trust a MAGA NUT to fire the rifle that close to his head to accomplish this stunt , and he knows that his followers are not that bright , so I doubt that this was NOT real.
DeleteExcept probably this was supposed to have been an attempted assassination where the shooter was spotted and eliminated BEFORE he got a shot off. He just played his part and did not know that he was the sacrifice. And the cop who ran away was an actor. I do think the SS problems are real as I cannot believe they would be part of such nonsense.
DeleteStill the sales in small
bandages has gone through the roof lol!
I have not seen or heard from any source where the person who was killed at the Trump assassination was located but if he was not behind Trump in line with the bullet how come no one behind Trump was shot.? Also, I don't think it was bravery that Trump pushed aside his secret service protectors and exposed himself to another attempt . I think it was stupidity.
ReplyDeleteI'm not seeing much about how tRump, in his all -about-me mindset, got up from behind the podeum and put all of thae secret Service detail at risk of being shot just so he could grand stand and pump his fist. There was no way that, at that time, he could have known that the threat had been taken out (it hadn't) and so, with the secret service agents making a human shield to protect him, he risked everyone one of their lives. Staged or not, it shows tRump for what he is. The main reason I believe he may have had it staged was that he did get back up. At his core, tRump is a complete coward. Bully's like him usually are.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason he would get up like that would be because he knew he had nothing to fear. Oh, and then there's that ear the looked totally untouched in a picture of trump and his magically healed ear later at a golf course.
Remember when the MAGAt’s wouldn’t wear masks to help spread Covid? They said they would “Look stupid.” Do they not know how STUPID they look wearing bandages on their ears?!? WTF??
ReplyDeleteTrump orchestrated this whole “ attempted assasiation!” He would NEVER take his shoes off because he wears lifts in them to make him a taller convict!
There are some sick bastards commenting here!
ReplyDeleteLike you.
DeleteSick because we don't agree with you?
