Never have I cared to watch three abhorrents face off, but this would have way more value than whatever the news networks could pump out

      The biden campaign insists that the interview will be done on Pod Save America, resulting in Trump roasting the Pod Johns in campaign rallies

    Trump's people arrange a stunt beforehand. At some point during the debate Joe Rogan lights up a blunt and offers it. Biden says "Come on man. No. That's drugs." Then Trump pauses, looks skeptically, and takes it. He puts it on his lips and gives a quick throat clearing cough. It's obvious he didn't take a hit but his base says he did. Tons of memes on reddit at all times until November of how cool Trump is. People talking about Trump gonna legalize it. Biden calling Trump a drug fiend during his speeches. Says he will be tougher than Trump on drugs. After November legalization never comes and Trump denies he ever did the stunt.

      I couldn't stop laughing at this part.

      Trump is pretty anti-drug use on a personal level (and IIRC a teetotaler as well) and it's a significant part of his image with his cult.

        Trump being anti-drug use is part of the psyop. People who worked with him on The Apprentice confirm that the man has a hard, lifelong stimulant addiction.

        Maybe he just doesn’t drink? Either way, it’s all bullshit.

          I don't think you live as long as Trump with a "hard, lifelong stimulant addiction". Those people die in their 50s and 60s, if not younger.

            uh I have one too

            you’d be very surprised? I’d like to stand up for drug addicts here

            the actions of dopaminergic drugs on the brain are very dependent on dose and setting, it is not always a simple issue of neurotoxicity, especially without methylation.

            wealth, of course, protects the addict

      Except Trump's too big a germaphobe to touch his lips to it, so he puts it beside his mouth as if we can't tell.

    Rogan would smoke some marijuana. Biden would call Harris to arrest him. Trump would take a hit and talk about how great he is until the police arrive and beat Rogan to death.

    Biden is going to lose in a landslide isn’t he? They can name their teams the Avengers or whatever the fuck they’re doing while Trump actually knows what people want.

    I love watching the Dems flounder into trying to be cool lol.

      I'm not sure. Every time I think Biden has fucked up, Trump one ups it. If you asked me during the DNC, I'd said it was Trump's to lose. Now, the tapes proving Trump of covering up corona, something anyone with a brain knew, will cost him whatever swing support he might have had otherwise. It's one thing to know it, it's another to hear it.

        if anyone with a brain knew it, why would it swing support? I dont think this'll touch his numbers

          According to this recent poll he has lost support with them.

          Like I said, when you assume without proof you have a little bit of doubt. Now its 100% a verifiable fact. Also, I'm about 75% sure a lot of independent support for Trump in 2016 was because they thought he'd bring European style healthcare with him. Voters had that reasonable doubt then, and knew Hillary wouldn't do it. Now they know Trump won't do it either.

          It's not a shoe in by any means and if anyone could fuck this up its Joe Biden and the democratic party. Listen Jack Pop! I'm grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory!

        Biden, despite the highly visible decay of his brain, has seemed a lot more put together in debate scenarios than Trump. This one is probably too long for him to be okay for (4 hours would kill either of those guys lmao) but in a half hour or one hour block he'd probably have a chance to pull ahead a little among the Rogan viewerbase.

    Would be funny if it happened but there's no way the Biden campaign would even entertain this. If they do I'd be legit shocked.

        Two completely different things! Bernie was platforming and enabling right-wing ideology, Biden's influence would be to check and balance, after all he is Light itself...

    Trump: "Biden is too soft on China, folks! He's a communist!"

    Biden: "That's not true, jack! I actually want to genocide all Chinese people!"

    rogan calls himself an idiot that doesn't know anything. i don't know why he'd offer to have such a big impact on "democracy" but hosting this. I guess him doing a shitty neutral job is better than a mainstream pundit doing a deliberately biased job.

    it would be 2 hours of Trump dunking on Biden while Rogan tells Jamie to clip each dunk and pull that shit up in real time
