I can't believe Rogan supports Bernie Sanders.

This, along with rumors that he likes to hang out at gay leash and leather clubs, made me lose any and all respect for him.

Gay leash and leather?? No - he doesn’t - 😄 you people believe anything. And he said he liked Bernie for the Democrat candidate. Joe is a good dude - don’t always agree with him but he is a cool cat. People are jealous of his success - when he wasn’t even trying. Some people just seem to make things work jo matter what they try - others can’t and get jealous.
The more that you want others to have success - the easier life becomes. I hate seeing people fail. I’ve been there and know it sucks. Seeing someone succeed - even someone I disagree with - motivates the shit out of me.

Weirdos like Prime - who don’t give a shot about their own family - THOSE people make me sick.

"If" if he would say he supports Trump he would lose a lot of listeners and fans etc. OM fucking G! All hell would brake lose. lol
Its the only way to stay relevant by saying he supports that old ,weak millionaire komunist!
When he talks Trump, Rogan lights up like a fucking joint, he loves almost everything our president does. At least it seems like it. On the other hand I couldn't care less who he says he supports. His actions speak different. I like that short mutant!

[gmflex]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that rapist.

[friedchickendinner]

I have never liked a single word he ever said.

[che]

It was the worst. I didn't realize i was sick until I was already full blown into it. I remember walking in a parking lot and being winded, lol. I slept for 2 straight days after that.

I had it too,I was in bed for two weeks lost 25lbs ,worst shit ever happened to me

There are lots of people in the entertainment industry who support Trump but can never admit it because of boycotts and pissing off the top people in the industry who can shut down their careers.  Harvey Weinstein had control over actresses with sex and many other producers have control in other ways.  You piss off the wrong people and your career is finished.

it cleared jordan peterson's auto immune problems until he forgot to clean his room one day.

  cleared his eye floaters too and saved his daughter




"Clean your room (sometimes) and get a hair transplant. #1 rules in life"

[m8]

good his standup is terrible

Honestly he wouldn't nearly be as popular if he didn't have his podcast and the Fear Factor thing. He's just not a naturally "funny" guy, has a hard time making fun of himself too. Sometimes he's occasionally funny without trying on his podcast though.

[Rambone]

I wouldn’t be upset over this since he’s not funny. His podcast is great, but his standup totally sucks.

[stuntmovie]

Now that the California bodybuilding, physique, and fitness shows have been or will be cancelled ... we are seeing similar cancellations here in VEGAS.
