Nikki Haley may be an admirable person. People who know here seem to like her. But there's absolutely nothing interesting about her politics or her ideology. It's all the same shit that plagued the GOP forever: neocon foreign policy, pro-corporate Reaganomics. She's Jeb Bush.
You could replace Nikki Haley with a zillion other Republicans - Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, etc. etc. - and not notice anything different in terms of politics and ideology.

This has always been one of her biggest fans:

This is true for most #NeverTrumpers. They claimed all along their only problem was with Trump, they are still Republicans who just want a normal Republican.

But now all their popularity, book sales, funders depend on Dems so they can't endorse Haley:

1) There were 3 members stripped by the GOP of specific Committees: Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar. I believe not all are women of color.

2) What is this new fake contrived speaking style?

3) This is about taking the new standard Dems created and applying it to them:
The removal of Schiff and Swalwell - especially Schiff -- was 100% justified. I did not support Omar's removal for reasons I've explained many times.

But maybe one day Dems will realize that when they invent brand new theories of punishment, it can and will be applied to them.
Hillary Clinton's fake Southern accent was more authentic and convicting than whatever that was that AOC thought she was doing there in that speech.

I'm looking forward to our discussion tonight with @RepMTG, starting in 15 minutes.

Like AOC, MTG's influence is not from corporate PAC donations or pleasing lobbyists, but organic popularity.

Unlike AOC, she continues to defy her own Party's leadership and many core pieties.
We'll devote our full @SystemUpdate_ episode to our discussion with the Congresswoman on a wide range of topics: America First foreign policy; Ukraine; her vehement opposition to CIA, FBI and Big Tech; her advocacy for Assange and Snowden, and much more:

rumble.com/v28019u--syste…
"I'm enraged that journalist would interview one of the most influential members of Congress" -- things only US liberals say.

If you find a more vehement opponent of CIA, FBI, NSA, the war in Ukraine, Big Tech censorship and the persecution of Assange and Snowden, let me know.

Majorie Taylor Greene is back on Committees in Congress today, continuing her role as one of the most vocal opponents of Biden's war policies in NATO, and she'll be our guest tonight for the full hour on @SystemUpdate_, starting at 7 pm ET, to discuss all this and more.
One of the core job of journalists is to interview, question and speak with anyone and everyone with power and influence, and the fact that they do so does not mean they share al.....😴😴😴💤💤💤💤
Since @SystemUpdate_ debuted 6 weeks ago, we've asked several Dem politicians to come on the show - including ones who ask me to promote their work, to defend them, who send praise for my work, etc.

They'll make excuses, evade -- everything but agree to come on so far...

Consider this:

One of the most mainstream-media-reporters in history (Jeff Gerth) just published a 4-part investigative series on the media's serial failures on Russiagate, in one of the US's most mainstream venues (@CJR), and the named culprits and outlets are all ignoring it.
Just think about the institutional arrogance and rot that leads these media corporations and their "journalists" to ignore all critics, to ignore all proof that they lied, to refuse to retract or explain.

And then they wonder why the public hates them. It's *deserved.*
The reason I never shut up about what they did with the NY Post's pre-election reporting is it's so vivid:

1) They all spread an outright CIA lie (laptop was "Russian disinformation").

2) Everyone sees the proof that it's false.

3) *Not one* of them acknowledged or retracted.

Many conservative voters keep making clear they overwhelmingly reject Bush/Cheney/neocon foreign policy orthodoxies, regime change wars, and trying to "fix" other countries, yet somehow keep ending up with "thought leaders" who sound like Dick Cheney and Bill Kristol in 2005.
Recent history has one lesson: US "regime change" operations work out horribly for *everyone except* the US arms industry and US Security State. They're particularly horrific for those in those countries the CIA claims they're trying to "save." Yet many continue to urge it.
Also, I don't know what they do to people on those Israel trips but whatever it is, it's extremely effective. When you watch people come back from them transformed for life - like Ritchie Torres and Jordan Peterson - it's a marvel of psychology and propaganda. Credit where due.

This is a great thread on how utterly damning is the @CJR 4-part exposé on the media's systemic lying that drove the Russiagate hoax. Tonight's @SystemUpdate_, starting live in 5 minutes, is devoted to this. Few things reveal more about US corporate media

rumble.com/v27vze6-russia…
We now have 3 major lies revealed in the last 6 months that *most* corporate media spread: this Russiagate exposé, proof the Biden laptop wasn't "Russian disinformation," and the Hamilton68 fraud.

*Not one outlet* that spread these lies acknowledged them

rumble.com/v27vze6-russia…
One major change is that media corporations and corporate journalist just refuse to respond to or even acknowledge proof that they lied. Jeff Gerth expected they'd respond to him - he's been in mainstream media for decades, writing this for @CJR -- but look at what he found:👇
