A broken clock...

Happy that this particular lunatic is right on this particular issue.

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

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 97 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 9 hours ago

Mmm I can’t wait to see the unintended consequences of that backpedaling.

God I hope there are some..

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 38 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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 31 points 10 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?

Not to mention the terrain of Iran would prove an order of magnitude more difficult to overcome. Afghanistan was already very difficult for our military, imagine MORE mountains

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 20 points 10 hours ago

Yep, huge country, difficult terrain, largely homogeneous culture that goes back to the Persian Empire, homegrown weapons industry that can build their own drones and missiles. This is going to be more difficult by orders of magnitude.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

Putin gets his drones from Iran

Brainwashed by what, MTG? Is it the Jewish space lasers again?

What exactly is this woman’s platform?

"brown people can fuck off and deal with their own brown people shit"

You should print this on a bumper sticker and sell it in Texas.

"Keep me in power and, more importantly, the spotlight"

She's an attention whore. Nothing more, nothing less. It's why she married her pedophile husband: he gave her attention when she was underage.

Kind of fitting that an abuse victim with Stockholm's Syndrome is the de facto mascot of Republican women.

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

So close, yet so far.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 39 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 28 points 7 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.

You know things are really fucked when you find yourself saying "hell yeah" to statements by mtg and tucker

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

You know, I was pretty adapted to this whole "dumbest reality" thing. I thought I had a good handle on it.

Now I'm agreeing with Bimbo Spacelasers on a political stance... I'm literally having an existential crisis to that.

"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.
