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 110 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 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 14 points 15 hours ago

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

God I hope there are some..

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 46 points 17 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 32 points 17 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 24 points 16 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 15 points 14 hours ago

Putin gets his drones from Iran

What exactly is this woman’s platform?

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 88 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

"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.

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

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

Exactly.

Fuck, I agree with MTG this morning? And I was off to such a good start today.

So close, yet so far.

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

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 16 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 33 points 14 hours ago (8 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.

Wtf is Matt "Statutory Rape" Gaetz doing there?

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 15 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Saw polling where even Trump voters only have 25% support for attack on Iran, and majority of all demographics oppose by over 50%. There is a huge disconnect between zionist supremacist media and politicians, and American people. Not just war, but marjority of Amercians have unfavourable view of Israel despite absolute political/media dominance to "educate them".

I thought this was a SNL skit with a joe biden character on the left.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 24 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

They are so close to realizing it.
