The Cognitive Dissonance Podcast

We’ve highlighted all year that those many, many headlines about Rogan “turning on Trump” or distancing himself from the regime were nonsense. The war on Iran will not break Joe’s love for Trump. ICE shooting citizens will not break Joe’s support for Trump. Joe puts the ‘pot’ into ‘pot committed.

"I listened to 170 hours of Joe Rogan’s podcast – trust me, he hasn’t turned against Trump" We're in The Guardian today, explaining why people can't just believe out of context clips about Rogan breaking from Trump, Joe is still very much on the Trump train. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You've seen the headlines about Joe Rogan "blasting" Trump and ICE for their "Gestapo" tactics - but the media has it all wrong. Joe spent the majority of his interview with Rand Paul excusing and defending ICE and Trump. Check out this weeks Know Rogan Experience for more.

This is an important episode, and one that shouldn’t be missed. Talk of Joe criticising ICE and Trump’s immigration enforcement completely miss the point, and the media repetition of that narrative does a disservice to their audience. Our analysis isn’t now for Patrons, and free from Tuesday.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Parent to a toddler: “are you pooping over there” Toddler: “NO!” The toddler:

The craziest part of the #60minutes interview is that we have some key elections that are extremely winnable if we keep the focus on getting out the vote! NYC Mamdani VA Spanberger NJ Sherrill CA Prop 50, MA Prop 1 & 2 PA state sup court GA Pub Service (aka decide energy rates) & many more! Go VOTE

I’m just saying that if my religion had the rest of the world ALSO praying that all its believers get Raptured off the planet on Tuesday… like maybe on Wednesday, Evangelicals should reflect on why everyone else would have gladly dealt with a 1000 year apocalypse instead another day with them.

Winner winner chicken n’ dumplin dinner.

James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, died and my heart goes out to the generations of countless victims directly harmed by his teachings & ideologies. The only tragedy in his passing is that he didn’t die much sooner so perhaps there might have been less suffering left in his wake.

Everyone called out by Hunter Biden the last 48 hours:

“fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

The craziest part about No Kings Day being the largest single day protest is that every prior mass protest in recent history happened during Trump except two, and those ones happened during Nixon and Reagan 😃😃

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

The entire military “perade” was an embarrassment but the fact that they stacked 3 Sam’s Club sheet cakes and stuck what looks to be TJ Maxx throw pillow on top is… actually such a perfect encapsulation of this regime.

I talked to Cecil from @dissonancepod.bsky.social about one of the biggest wellness influencers getting his info from a medium; what we can learn about believers and grifters from this; and the MAHA branch of the U.S. government. www.dissonancepod.com/episode-843-...

Jake Tapper thought he was channeling Bob Woodward but instead he’s giving Matt Taibbi

Trump’s Administration makes Orwell’s 1984 sound like a light hearted romp.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"

I wonder how many boxes of classified documents & top secret information that $400 million “sky palace” from Qatar cost us. That’s the real question. #AirForceOne

I made dis.

What’s crazy about the new pope is that everything we like about him (being a basic level pro human rights progressive) MAGA hates & everything we loathe about him (hiding p3do priests & covering up abuse) MAGA loves.🫢

Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy. He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.

I dunno how I’m gonna do 3 1/2 more years of this 🫠

I'm really pleased to be speaking at the final QED event. I've got a really interesting investigation to tell you about, which involves doing some actual science. There will be graphs.

Let me get this straight- Young antisocial men get rewarded with “government” positions & tv interviews And little girls have to give up their dolls and pencils. Tell me more how the patriarchy isn’t real.

I’m not saying with certainty that Trump’s diaper leaked all over his black suit right before the funeral so they had to change him back into his blue travel suit. I’m simply saying Occam’s Diaper. If you’ve ever potty trained a toddler, you get it.

To anyone trying to ride in on a high horse telling folks it’s not the time for humor or commentary, the statute of limitations before we can joke or criticize ran out around the time the amount the Catholic Church spent hiding known s*x criminals globally hit the $billion dollar mark. Be blessed. 😘

The Pope looks like he’s desperately trying to remember the exorcism spell.

Correlation ≠Causation And yet. Can’t a skeptic catch a vibe? #popefrancis
