The contradiction in that title is stunning.
The ultimate useful idiot
It’s worrying that this isn’t as high on Lemmy (or Reddit) as it should be. We all knew this was going to happen, but still, isn’t this more important than articles about Trump’s humiliation?
I mean, I get it, there’s some serious schadenfreude there, but as with last time around, Trump’s clown antics are distracting from the serious damage that’s going on directly behind him.
holding a pro-Russia stance
WTF?
She’s a fucking Russian asset!
When did The Guardian sell out? I missed that. They were pretty good as recently as the presidentoal campaign season, but they’ve apparently now joined the ranks of the compromised media who deliberately shift the narrative to take the fascist edges off of the Musk/Trump coup d’etat.
Wouldn’t they be legally liable for that unless they can prove it in court?
Edit: I was a bit mistaken. It was in fact the Observer that was sold by the Guardian group. Still seems like there’s smoke which indicates fire but I was not entirely correct here. See one of the replies to my comment for more information.
Based on what I can find, The Guardian was actually sold to a company called Tortoise Media two months ago in December 2024. And according to Wikipedia:
Guardian and Observer journalists voted to strike on 4 and 5 December 2024 in protest over a sale that they said would betray the commitment of the Scott Trust—owner of the Guardian Media Group—to the Observer.
So not even the journalists wanted this company in control. And funnily enough, there was a Guardian article in 2018 that specifically mentioned Tortoise Media while talking about the “increased involvement of private wealth in the journalism industry” and how that is a bad thing. So from what I can tell, it can no longer be trusted.
The goal is for the oligarchs/fascists to control all the news and media. It is progressing well.
I don’t think they sold The Guardian, but the Guardian Media Group sold most/all their other newspaper titles. In December it was The Observer.
Ah, thank you for the correction. I was under the assumption that both the Observer and the Guardian were sold but looking again, seems to be just the Observer. I’ll edit my first post to direct people to your comment.
Please put the edit at the top. Most people will just read first paragraph of your post and miss it.
Good point. Done.
Cheers
Ah.
Thanks for the legwork.
That’s a shame. They were one of the few left that actually had some integrity, but apparently that’s over.
The vote was 52 in favor and 48 against, with all Democrats and Republican senator Mitch McConnell opposing her nomination.
Mitchies vote would matter if it wasn’t pure performance by a guy 2/3 in the grave.
I’m just glad the Democrats finally voted as one.
Mitch the Bitch is just mad that they’re taking power from him.
Then Republicans will complain about the information Tulsi leaks to the Russian government.
like fuck they will, they’re all russian assets
Oh they will, but in their performative crowing it won’t be Tulsi they’re blaming
Yeah, no, they won’t give two shits. They’d all happily be Putin’s lapdog. They find his leadership inspiring.
Putin might as well have a seat in the situation room.
He has more than one.
Good! I LOVE America which is Why I’m HAPPY that someone our ENTIRE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, BOTH CURRENT AND FORMER, SAID IS A HUGE NATIONAL SECURITY RISK!
Putin be like.
It is amazing that Democrat senators unanimously vote against a former Democrat who is a minority woman.
Oh look, another person to block.
Turns out when you opportunistically betray your party and join the other side, you tend to alienate the party you were with before! Who knew?
Have we finally solved the mystery of why people dislike former revolutionary war general Benedict Arnold?
I think the Democrats are actually racist and sexist, that is why they vote against Tulsi. Republicans have no problems voting for her.
What other copy paste “thoughts” do you have lol. You can’t actually be serious.
What counter argument points do you have? Lol
Counter argument? I’m not counter arguing I’m saying what you said is stupid. That’s all
I suppose you don’t understand my argument. That is fine.
Your argument that the dems are racist and sexist because they don’t want someone with Russian ties to be in charge of one of the most important parts of government? Or is that not what you said.
Lol. I’m sure you’re playing those cards in good faith.
It couldn’t have anything to do with her politics or the fact that she’s an opportunist with no principles who flipped to the right as soon as it was personally advantageous for her. Nope, every single Democrat, including those who are women, racial minorities, or female racial minorities, could only possibly dislike her because of racism and sexism 🙄
God I hate Tulcels.
She isn’t an opportunist. The Democrats pushed her into the Republicans. Trump have built a strong coalition with RKJ and Tulsi.
Lol, right. So when she was still calling herself a democrat and went on Fox News as far back as 2015 to shit talk Obama for not being hawkish enough in the Middle East, did the democrats “push her” to do that? How, exactly? Say it, that you think the democrats should’ve been more hawkish like Tulsi wanted.
Oh, but you can’t, can you? Because she flip flopped into pretending to be an isolationist, as soon as it was convenient. And suckers like you eat it up hook, line, and sinker.
Of course you’d also like RFK. If you buy into one insincere opportunist grifter who believes in nothing, why not another?
I definitely like Tulsi and RKJ much more than Liz Cheny.
I like dying by gunshot more than dying by electrocution.
I, for one am SHOCKED that you like Tulsi and RKJ rather than someone who denounced putin lol.
Former Democrat… Current russian asset…fuck off
That stupid claim started with Hillary making the accusation without providing evidence.
Lol no it’s not, she’s did that to herself basically believing russian propaganda and aligning with it.
She gave her honest opinion.
No she spews out russian propaganda…
She is free to speak on the point of view that you don’t like.
And everyone else is free to criticize her, even if that’s a point of view you don’t like.
If your best defense of her is, “The things she’s said aren’t illegal,” that’s not exactly a high bar.
