This is a ''The worst person you know just made a great point.'' moment, isn't it?

Is that her face?

Is that the sound of fast-approaching leopards?

Is it face-eating season?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I want to hear the crunch in THX when the leopard clamps down.

[–] BoycottPro@lemm.ee 7 points 1 hour ago

MTG is brainwashed by RT, tin foil hat conspiracy theories and memes from random people. Basically Fox News and NY Post are not crazy enough for her.

That was not on my bingo card

you weren't paying attention then, once she said JEWISH space lasers she was fucked

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 hours ago

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

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

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 2 hours ago

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.

We’re in the clown dimension.

[while] Speaking to former Rep. Matt Gaetz on OAN

😑

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

So close, yet so far.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 37 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 hours ago (5 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@lemmy.today 3 points 48 minutes ago

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

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour 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.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

at this rate, she's going to go so conservative that she'll end up out of a job, because women voting or getting elected is "woke".

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's funny how it they were leftists using that word correctly, they'd be right. Ain't that some shit?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Well, they would have been right, before Trump.

Holy shit, sanity from MTG?? WHAT PLANET IS THIS

"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.

[–] Alue42@fedia.io 54 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 195 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

A broken clock...

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

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 116 points 8 hours ago (12 children)

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

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

Putin gets his drones from Iran

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 83 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

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