    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.

        I have not looked at the American mainstream press for a few months, but honestly cannot remember any broadcasters or papers who are decently covering all news

        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.

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

        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?)

          If it ticks faster than time than it would be right more than once (24hr time) a day, the faster it ticks the more times it will incidentally be correct (perhaps there is an allegory here…)

          A clock that ticks slower than time would be right less than once a day, but it can never…

          I feel like I need a simulator to understand this relationship actually…

      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.
