Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    You’re telling me that trump lost control of his appointees before he left the white house or that he was the one who ordered leo’s to provoke the riot? No matter how you try to spin Jan 6th it falls on trumps shoulders. And we know the government provokes shit it just so happens that this time it was done in plain sight and the right is denying it. We heard his speeches and read his tweets too.

      What are you fucking smoking? Read my words, not your made up fucking opponent’s.

      I’m telling you that the accusations were that one or more CIs were used by LEO to incite riots, which we all recognize is standard operating procedure. This isn’t a crazy accusation. That was all I said and if you make up more shit to pretend I said I’m not going to continue bothering.

          This is the internet. You’re allowed to swear. I just happen to respond to dishonest bullshit strongly.

            What’s dishonest about pointing out that if the FBI provoked the riot it was either trump who ordered it or trump who ignored it? Who do you think was in charge on Jan 6th if not tangerine palpatine?

              I don’t know and I honestly haven’t looked into it deeply. I’m not really commenting on that. I’m also unsure why you think the guy Trump appointed would help him after he lost the election. Nobody with the credentials to run the FBI is gonna treason for last year’s president.

              I think the headline is overstating it. Nobody has to order LEO or their informants to incite crowds. It’s a thing they do. You’re assuming they were expecting insurrection, whict I don’t think they were. Hanlon’s Razor seems appropriate. They did their standard fedboi bullshit and it got way bigger than they expected. I just don’t think it’s unreasonable or a wild conspiracy theory to think LEO used tactics we’ve seen them use in every major city in ths US.

              The FBI are not good people and we shouldn’t cuddle up to them because they’re putting the ‘right’ people in jail right now.

                M8 all this article is is a shitty attempt to throw someone under the bus and brand them deep state and you’re buying it so hard.

                  No need for deep state shennanigans. Cops incite protests to turn into riots. Standard pig bullshit. I haven’t reviewed the evidence in this case, but someone thinking police used agent provocateurs isn’t deep state conspiracy shit. It’s actually kind of expected. Get a donut and coffee. Violate some civil rights. All in a day’s work.

                    Aight so that explains why the stormed the capital but why did they show up to a standard event that happens every 4 years? And why did they bring guns and tactical gear? And why did they build a gallows? They didn’t need cops to incite shit, they showed up with a plan and for once in US riot history the cops actions aren’t blatantly horrible yet it’s what everyone wants to point to this time. Interesting.

          I avoid the stuff. Never liked it much. I avoid opiates for the opposite reason. Also I’d probably intentionally OD.
