That was not on my bingo card

She already opposed "anti-BDS" laws that would criminalize Americans for publicly declaring that they will not buy products for political reasons.

While she is a terrible person all around, she is consistent in asking "does this help America" in her idea of what "America" is supposed to be.

Evidently wasting billions on Israel, getting US soldiers killed and forbidding people in the US from voicing their opionion including on what to buy and not to buy is detrimental to the US.

Wtf is Matt "Statutory Rape" Gaetz doing there?

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 16 points 15 hours ago

He thought it was a learning seminar about brainwashing hoping to use it for more 'statutory' shenanigans.

I'm going to guess that Russia doesn't want us to enter the war.

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 114 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.

I'm guessing everyone with a brain doesn't want the US to go into Iran. It's like these people didn't learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Learn things? With our education system??? Buddy! What do you think this is??? A different country? Who's this other country you're thinking about??? They sound like someone we need to go to war with! Do they have oil?

Russia is pro Iran so it wasn't entirely unexpected.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Russia is not so much "pro Iran" as it is keeping an ambiguous relationship with Israel and Iran. Russia let Israel bomb Iranian militias in Syria. Israel sold drones to Russia after Russia invaded Crimea. Israel even demanded Ukraine to just give up against Russia behind closed doors. Netanyahu praised Russia and Putin in the past months and Israel refrained from demanding sanctions on Russia since the full scale invasion 2022.

I believe that MTGs position is coming from a sincere "MAGA" position. Why should the US let Israel dictate what it is doing and what it is not doing? Why should the US on top of it pay billions to Israel for Israel to drag the US around?

Populism works because it taps into actually existing grievances. Or creates them, but in this case it's option A.

Plus she's an actual Nazi type.

Is that her face?

Is that the sound of fast-approaching leopards?

Is it face-eating season?

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 14 hours ago

I dont even think leopards would want to eat her face ... she has those crazy chimpanzee eyes that are too close together.

Before you get too excited, this was an interview with OAN, and that she thinks people should be paying more attention to OAN

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 17 hours ago

Going on OAN and calling Fox News right wing propaganda is peak irony.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 17 hours ago

She has nothing. She does nothing. She just wants to be in the headlines.

A republican being anti-Fox News? That's a bold strategy.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 33 points 19 hours ago (7 children)

I have heard some people refer to Fox News as being, and I quote, "liberal."

In fairness, these people are part of the MAGA crowd, so I assume they can't actually read and have no idea what the word "liberal" means.

[–] ouRKaoS 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

"Liberal" is just another slur to them, like "woke."

Freedom comes 2nd to them being cunts comes first

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

During Trump's first term, Fox pushed back just slightly on some of the shit he was trying to pull. Turned out even Fox wasn't entirely comfortable with Trump being president. However, this backfired and pushed some viewers to OAN because Fox had spent the last couple decades training their viewers to hate anyone who even slightly opposes a Republican president. Of course, that increased OAN's profile, which got them on Trump's radar. Trump loves them because they won't stop sucking his dick, so he promotes them to his followers, so now a bunch of people that used to religiously watch Fox now religiously watch OAN and think that Fox isn't conservative enough.

They made a monster and it slipped its leash.

"We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does"

Greene claimed that since Carlson was fired from "neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before" and that "he unapologetically believes the same things I do."

Yeah, nah.
