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 an 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.

There are liberal propaganda outlets and congressperons pushing for war with Iran

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.

Yeah thats what broken clock means

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (13 children)

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?)

Wtf is Matt "Statutory Rape" Gaetz doing there?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

More like the worst person ever now says the same as everyone else

Is that her face?

Is that the sound of fast-approaching leopards?

Is it face-eating season?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week 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.
