NO. It's weird that SHE agress with US.
I'd be worried about what her "solution" is
She probably has something pretty final in mind.
Really odd how her opinions always seem to line up with the Kremlin's
Lmao
I oppose war in Iran because was is detestable.
You oppose war in Iran because you want troops in California instead.
We are not the same.
This is not a time to get hung up about identity politics, who's red, who's blue. Everyone should scream at the Trump regime that war with Iran is unacceptable and to never bring it up again.
There will be time for bickering afterwards about details, but right now, everyone against this war should circle the wagons.
And everyone not against this war needs to first say no to that war, second pick up an history book about Iraq and Afghanistan.
When I hear someone like MTG say something like this my first thought isn’t “Oh, she’s finally figuring it out!” No. It’s “What fucked up way does she think people need to be brainwashed to align more with her brand of shittiness?”
They are so close to realizing it.
They are absolutely not and will not under any circumstances actually go after Trump for any of this.

It's almost sentient.
starts eating its own shit again
Nevermind.
When a right winger tells the truth, it's because they're lying twice. Or in this case, more like 4, possibly 6 times.
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.
The recurring cycle of MTG deciding she wants more attention.
welcome to the resistance, Marjorie
I thought this was a SNL skit with a joe biden character on the left.
There's a youtuber I like that uses the term "weaponized autism" but this is more of a "ballistic brain damage" scenario.
"Want to see something cool?"
I got that dude all over my feed now. No idea why, but I'm never disappointed in the fact that the stuff he's throwing out is, in fact, super cool
Broken clock
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.
Putting the new York times and fox news in the same category is correct as far as I can tell. I don't oppose her calling NYT republican either.
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.
There are liberal propaganda outlets and congressperons pushing for war with Iran
..and some of them think it's going to "liberate the people of Iran".

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

Exactly.
Fuck, I agree with MTG this morning? And I was off to such a good start today.
Rare conservative win
I'm not sure this is a "win"
It is just reality
I don't even know her motivation. She could just keep quiet and not shoot herself in the foot.
This is a ''The worst person you know just made a great point.'' moment, isn't it?

Well for once she has a point
Probably the rare times she said something that isn't totally crazy
Lee Corso in a wig is SO CLOSE to self aware here.
Almost there, cro magnum bad bleach blonde boy bod
That was not on my bingo card
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.

A broken clock...
Happy that this particular lunatic is right on this particular issue.

I have no idea if she's just that stupid and only sees one move in front of her, or if she always knew but it's only now suitable for her to say the truth. (It's also possible it's both with these people.)
We’re in the clown dimension.
