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".

Polls also show overwhelming support for social security and taxing the rich, the GOP don't give af and the R voters won't change how they vote over this.

Kinda. MTG is ragging on Fox News, sure, but she's also both-sides'ing media outlets on the left with her full quote:

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

She's fishing for people to agree with her which legitimizes her claim that left-leaning news networks are just as untrustworthy as Fox News, which is and untrustworthy news outlet, but she doesn't say shit about Breitbart or OANN or any of the other right-wing superspreaders of misinformation.

So, she is a broken clock that's currently pointing at the correct time, but she did it in a way to sneak in an untruth or two in there hoping that people would pick up on that and amplify the message.

Look, fuck this racist asshole Marjory. But liberal news sources are also largely garbage. The NYT, for example (well respected by liberals) is constantly giving voice to reactionaries, lying by omission, supporting US imperialism and just generally upholding the status quo, even when it means normalizing/legitimizing fresh horrors from republicans.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

Yeah thats what broken clock means

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I prefer "stopped clock," since broken clocks can often continue ticking, albeit at the wrong speed.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 22 minutes ago

A broken clock, whether it ticks too fast or too slow, is still right at least once every 24 hours, I think.

The only exception would be one that ticks correctly but is not set to the right time (does this count as broken?)

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 24 minutes ago

I mean with her she's right less than once a day.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago

Exactly.

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

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

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

It's easy to pretend when your vote doesn't count. It's really fuckin easy when you've abdicated your responsibility as the US Congress and you don't even get to vote.

Wtf is Matt "Statutory Rape" Gaetz doing there?

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 10 points 7 hours ago

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.

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

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 7 points 7 hours ago (1 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?

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This is one thing that bothers me. I hear people talk about Trump's policies being isolationist, but this flies in the face of that. If youre going to do a thing, do that thing all the way, none of this picking and choosing. If you want to cut the US off from the world, just fucking commit to it. It's not my ideal course for the country, but I just want consistency.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The trouble is, they don’t gaf about general policy, the only policy they care about is “what makes rich people richer” and that economic policy is ill-defined and has a lot of guesswork involved, so you can’t expect coherent or consistent policies aligned with traditional politics

Is that her face?

Is that the sound of fast-approaching leopards?

Is it face-eating season?

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

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

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.
