Senior presidential adviser Kari Lake appears to have resolved any doubts about what she wants to do with the Voice of America.

Lake seeks for it to look and sound a lot like the far-right One America News Network: on Tuesday night she announced that she had struck a deal to serve up the pro-Trump outlet's news reports for Voice of America's foreign audiences, at no taxpayer cost.

Yeah I also support jailing our Zionist leaders.

Which I why I'm not voting for them, asshole

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 1 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Considering the entire EU is doing jack shit I’d say most of them are zionists, butt cavern. Germany is still providing weapons. Which magical EU country do you live in that has managed to stay squeaky clean all these years? Or… are you just a hypocrite like everyone else?

I voted for a party that didn't support a genocide. Can you say the same?

I know the answer

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Well, considering all my options either supported it or were dead silent on it, I chose the one least likely to make it worse and most likely to cave to protests. Sadly, they did not win and now we have Trump, who will make the entire world worse and almost certainly guarantee Gaza will be leveled, as well as Ukraine. I’m sure there will be more countries on that list soon. Greenland? Panama? Who the hell knows. This place is a shit show.
