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.
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.
Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.
Mmm I can’t wait to see the unintended consequences of that backpedaling.
God I hope there are some…
I’m guessing everyone with a brain doesn’t want the US to go into Iran. It’s like these people didn’t learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).
Learn things? With our education system??? Buddy! What do you think this is??? A different country? Who’s this other country you’re thinking about??? They sound like someone we need to go to war with! Do they have oil?
You don’t need an education system, just past lived experience. Trump himself regularly lies about how he was always against the Iraq war. It’s just one letter off, should be pretty easy to work out what would happen if they did the same thing again.
Not to mention the terrain of Iran would prove an order of magnitude more difficult to overcome. Afghanistan was already very difficult for our military, imagine MORE mountains
Yep, huge country, difficult terrain, largely homogeneous culture that goes back to the Persian Empire, homegrown weapons industry that can build their own drones and missiles. This is going to be more difficult by orders of magnitude.
Putin gets his drones from Iran
Then why would Krasnov be doing it?
Because he’s also a cuck to Netanyahu and AIPAC.
100%.
PLUS
Putin is hanging Krasnov out to dry on Ukraine.
Eventually, Trump betrays everyone. Putin’s had his hands full the last few years with his “special military operation” and hasn’t been able to hold Trump’s leash as tightly as he did in his first term.
To force the mining of the Straits of Hormuz, which will raise the price of oil enough to prop up Russia.
after all that trouble they went to get military aid to be diverted from ukraine, indirectly via trump. probably realized the war near thier own country could destabalize the region which can draw in russia, possibly pakistan,india and china.
A very, very dumb clock… Once every crazy dumb day…
That’s the saying isn’t it?
Jokes aside, agreed she’s right, and credit where it’s due for sure.
Sus a slow clock, not a broken clock.
She’s right every couple decades.
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?”
This is a ‘‘The worst person you know just made a great point.’’ moment, isn’t it?
“Even a broken clock is right twice a day”
Feels like a plague rat telling you “hey yo rats have the plague”
More like the worst person ever now says the same as everyone else
I wonder if she overheard it somewhere
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
Yeah thats what broken clock means
Exactly.
Fuck, I agree with MTG this morning? And I was off to such a good start today.
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 a 24-hr clock is one second slow per day, its correct once every 236 years.
Thats MTG.
They did the math
I was thinking of an analog clock with 12 hours and no distinction of AM or PM… but if we’re talking 24h clocks you are right.
Every 118 years then.
Ah, true. I was definitely mistaken then.
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…
I was thinking of analog 12hr clock with no distinction between AM and PM
I wonder if your 24hr clock example would be more intuitive as frequencies and phases?
I was also visualizing the round analogue clock face, but didn’t want to muddy the water by saying “twice” when I guess it’s technically only once, just no am/pm delineation.
I am puzzling over this at work now. I guess a fast clock could be right almost infinite times a day if it ran fast enough, but a slow clock can only be as slow as a whisper faster than stopped, which would mean it could be right alllllllllllllmost twice a day, but never twice a day.
Yeah but the full saying is “a stopped clock is still right twice a day”
Where in my comment did I ever suggest that I don’t understand this?
I was just reflecting on the comment that I was responding to, which was specifying that a broken clock may be running fast or slow, instead of being stopped.
Where in my comment did I suggest that you didn’t understand something? Take a breath dude.

I mean with her she’s right less than once a day.
She probably gets a couple softball questions right from time to time :
🗣 " Today is Thursday, right?"
🧟♀️ “Yessssssss!”
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.
No one implied that. Good job.
Then you agree that they’re not in fact close to realizing literally anything?
I realize it’s not easy to detect sarcasm via text but I was being sarcastic
It’s almost sentient.
starts eating its own shit again
Nevermind.
Brainwashed by what, MTG? Is it the Jewish space lasers again?
deleted by creator
No, it was MTG
For some reason my brain will eternally read MTG as Magic The Gathering.
I wish we just played MTG as a national pastime, instead of dealing with Returdblican bullshit.

Lol my first thought when you said whoops was “well he’s still half right”
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.
you weren’t paying attention then, once she said JEWISH space lasers she was fucked
“Peace tree dish”
I thought this was a SNL skit with a joe biden character on the left.
Before you get too excited, this was an interview with OAN, and that she thinks people should be paying more attention to OAN
ooough
OHN (oh no)
Going on OAN and calling Fox News right wing propaganda is peak irony.
We’re in the clown dimension.
What exactly is this woman’s platform?
“brown people can fuck off and deal with their own brown people shit”
You should print this on a bumper sticker and sell it in Texas.
Man I would be so rich if I just didn’t have a moral compass
Isn’t it fascinating.
Like the other day I learned just how easy it would be to make an AI “character” and sell “nudes” to men on only fans.
Like if all the people scalping the Switch 2 had any clue how much they could make doing that, I’d be able to buy a Switch 2. Then I could do it too to make money to buy the Switch 2 games.
But unlike scalpers, my empathy prevents me from telling people there’s sex in the VIP room.
Well it might make a few bucks there but it’s a pretty disgusting concept. I don’t really understand how there are so many people utterly devoid of empathy.
I always assumed it was an innate human trait and that someone needed to have it abused out of their brain or have some kind of mental illness. Is it even possible that this many children being mistreated so badly or have undiagnosed mental illness? That is both a shocking idea and hard to believe.
The alternative is that it’s a learned trait and the parents and educators of these people have failed them so spectacularly that they can’t even begin conceive of their inability to identify with another person. The cognitive dissonance required to see a person that doesn’t look exactly like them as not a person is astounding.
There probably is a lot more abuse and bad parents going around than you might think
Urgh yeah but the scale is crazy. I want to believe that maybe a lot of her supporters are just stuck in an information bubble. That all they see are sound bites that seem level headed and reasonable with no counterpoints.
But how is it possible that they miss all of the batshit evil shit MTG and her pals spew. It’s not like she’s not in the news all the time literally spewing hatred and nonsense, how are they missing all of it?
“Keep me in power and, more importantly, the spotlight”
She’s an attention whore. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s why she married her pedophile husband: he gave her attention when she was underage.
Kind of fitting that an abuse victim with Stockholm’s Syndrome is the de facto mascot of Republican women.
See, by my nature I usually make a joke as a reply to everything.
But that statement…man. It’s hard to justify making a joke about rale/abuse victims and pedophila.
Can you just talk about J.D Vance instead? Remember the meme where he fucks couches??? Now THAT I can work with!
That’s the other one (Boebert).
fear
If you could sum it up in one word: isolationist.
This means low/no immigration, limiting cultural access to ‘home grown’ culture and expelling anyone that doesn’t conform to whatever her idea of ‘American’ is. The only ‘good’ part of that stance is that this also means they don’t want to sign up to the traditional penchant for military adventurism you’ll typically see from the right.
Yet. They’ve got 200 million Americans to conquer first.
258,000,000*
I think she’s like a Sov-Cit.
Whatever Putin says it is
I am “not” a Russian asset
the glorious 1890s
She’s a true believer in the stuff Trump says to stir up shit.
Xenophobic white Christian nationalism, fear, anger and hatred.
Really odd how her opinions always seem to line up with the Kremlin’s
[while] Speaking to former Rep. Matt Gaetz on OAN
😑
So close, yet so far.
Remember when the craziest news was that Trump nominated him for Attorney General?
