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

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (2 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?

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.

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 12 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago (7 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 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

Is that her face?

Is that the sound of fast-approaching leopards?

Is it face-eating season?

"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.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 21 points 1 day ago

And just whose fault IS that, Marjorie?
