Joe Rogan has been brought "back in line"

Seen him recently questioning what drumpf is doing but here he is today.. strategically positioned right behind drumpf. Only question is was his "doubt" in drumpf all just an act, or did drumpf's mafia make it clear to him that he'd be sleeping with the fishes if he didn't get back in line.

little fella claimed to be "politically homeless" just last week

They always fall in line. He knows that. He knows weak men when he meets them.

Information is power and all those RW talkers probably have a lot of interesting items in the files Stephen Miller keeps handy.

I have not been impressed by his so called " pushback" against trump.
He was never off the line. He threw out a few statements to appease his listeners disappointed in trump. But it was clear he was still on the trump train. He has not stopped criticizing democrats and "wokeness".

With their group naval-gazing, they completely ignore the lived experience of over half the population and, apparently, will never grow up.

that might question or be critical of Trump but these things are just meant to distance himself from the negativity and to not be associated with it.

But people will keep falling for his shit and posting "OMG HE LOST ROGAN"

... is an oily little slut for attention who runs his mouth without understanding anything about the subject at hand. He spews vitriolic bullshit that winds up the room-temperature IQs with Dick and Jane vocabularies, and, like Rogan, possess little or no understanding of reality. Simplistic answers to complex questions are all their stunted minds can absorb.

He speaks badly of trump. Then trumps people come and ask what it would take for him to get back in line. He gives an amount and they say okay.

which then translates into money. It served him to go against Trump for a while and then someone on his team showed him he's losing the hard core nuts so now he's going to drift back a bit to keep them hooked. I'm sure they are already convincing themselves that it was some part of Trump and Rogan's master plan. There is no 4D chess, there never has been any well thought out master plan, the plan is to just keep people guessing and making up conspiracy theories while they make as much money as possible.

Don't know if it's underage girls, beating homeless people with the fighters, or whatever but they will have incriminating video.

Plus he has likely helped with money laundering for the Russian oligarchs for decades

They lean which ever way the wind is blowing with their listeners. They are unstable grifters.
