Politics 101: FOLLOW THE MONEY.

That was excellent

This shit was a breath of fresh air for a man living in the smog

Well done, @joyannreid.bsky.social!

She is ALWAYS a masterclass.

Imagine if all news-people were saying this, instead of what they are all doing.

Masterclass

Same.

Read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." Read 2x MOH winner, USMC Maj Gen. Butler's "War is a Racket." We've done Iran Shah lvl shit all over the 🌎 for decades. Even b4 the Cold War. "Banana Republic" wasn't just a store at the mall. They hate us bc US Govt kills them for corporate interests, $.

For me????? Joy-Ann M. Lomena-Reid !!!

Because we are not the prisoners of incidence… we are the harvesters of consequence

And to understand the harvest requires we understand the seeds that have been sown

“They hate America” Why???? “The context of all that has been”

Why wouldn't they?!?! ISTG, growing up in a country actively repressed by Operation Condor, really cuts through the rah rah freedom bullshit.

🥥🌴 but actually tho

Democrats don’t hate America. They hate Trump’s version of America which favors the rich, and makes everyone else virtual slaves to the rich. 🤬

I know @thelouvreof.bsky.social isn’t typically used for skeets like this but there should be a place to put “biblically accurate skeets” like this.

THIS

Absolutely!!

It’s like one of the main components of you job is words or something! 🤣🤣

It’s really impressive how well she was able to keep them from speaking over her so she could make her point.

Me too, damn I miss her daily show

Put them boys in their place

get em

Hostages, you say? "Don’t release the hostages before the election. Mr. Reagan will win and give you a better deal." - Ben Barnes, Reagan campaign operative "A recent report...confirmed...Reagan did a deal with Iran to sink Carter's re-election" www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Hostages taken in direct relation to accepting the Shah. As a private citizen, Reagan extorted Carter to take in the Shah for cancer treatment by getting congressional Republicans to threaten to kill the SALT II nuclear anti-proliferation treaty in Congress. nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-boo...

It's her exasperated eye roll at the beginning for me 😆 Her (justifiable) "I'm talking to a crazy so I better tread lightly" tone was an added bonus

Joy Reid spitting truths.

She call out the bs and brings the receipts. I appreciate her so very much

*calls (I need bluesky to add an edit button)

Wow, she schooled them with basic facts. She asked and answered the one question that MAGA folk NEVER bother to ask: Why?

Cutting right through the jingoism

She just schooled the imbeciles with surgical precision...

Amazing to see her schooling those soulless neocons.

Joe Rogan should have her on.

He's had a show since 2009...in all that time, he has only had one black female guest: Candace Owens, a lying propagandist and mouthpiece for the right. Having Joy Reid on would only harm her reputation and help legitimize the misinformation and propaganda and conspiracy theories he traffics in.

So he doesn't have enough black female guests, but also this black female should boycott his show?

The issue isn't about them being black. One traffics in lies. One doesn't. If you think his audience needs to hear real journalism then they should turn off Joe Rogan and watch/listen to programs that bring in vetted experts and people who don't spread misinformation for shits and giggles.

So yeah, my opinion is that the Left should be better at promoting itself outside its bubble. Rogan had Bernie on the other day. I don't like his endorsement of Trump or his antivaxx BS anymore than you do.

Didn't US overthrew a government to help Doyle as well?

Doyle? I'm thinking of United Fruit Co/Chiquita Banana in Guatemala right now.

You are correct.

I always tell young people about Iran Contra, and UN Fruit Co. they are always 👀

I was just listening to her on YouTube yesterday. She is so sharp. I love hearing her speak!

All the info @joyannreid.bsky.social delivered is historical facts that everyone at that table already knew. But those same people push the agenda to suppress the truth to dumb down America

Her facial expressions always take me out.

I like her in this kind of role better than an anchor because she's more likely to be put face to face with liars

Blowback on CNN, my god the impossible is possible

@joyannreid.bsky.social is SO much better than the entire group that replaced her COMBINED. We turned it on once and the commentator (I can't recall her name) was reporting, "This is crazy. This is just crazy." No in-depth background like Joy does. MSNBC'S huge loss.

She's incredible

I love Joy Ann Reid

How dare she provide clear headed factual yet uncomfortable information on CNN. The audacity.

God damn, Joy Reed has gotten WAY better

She is intelligence on fire.

More of this please. 🙌🏾

Her faces are great. Side eye queen.

Excellent alt text too!

If someone made that face at me I'd be back pedaling so hard I'd go back in time

"imagine what the world would look like..." If the honesty and nuance joy reid just displayed when covering a complex topic was being displayed by greater media writ large for the last many decades. Might look like an informed citizenry that isn't manipulated into electing selfish monsters.

Real history is a wonderful thing. She nailed it.

Just about but she could've gone further. In Iran/Iraq war? Reagan funded Iraq and yes that means Saddam Hussein. Iraq used poison gas on Iranians in that brutal conflict.

I love her eyes

She looked so done The shut downs to the attempted interruptions 😘👌 Two minutes of unbridled truth to power and the second she finishes the white squawking just immediately resumes No one in that room has a serious bone in their body save for her

It goes further than this. Who did Reagan side with in Iran/Iraq war, Iraq. US actually funded Sadam FFS.

Everyone forgets that part of the history. The U.S. funded Saddam Hussein for decades. When we felt he had too much dip on his chip, we toppled his regime.

I’ll never forget my high school history teacher teaching us who funded/supported the Taliban… because they were fighting against the USSR!🙃🙃🙃🙃

The Arrogance of F..ing Flag waving Americans Sicken Me..

The setup!? Masterful. 🤌🏾

she spoke facts!

📌

Oh man she is going to make MSNBC feels some regrets.

They were so dumb for letting her go. On the other hand, she can get better media opportunities!

As a Canadian, I'm proud to say a good number of us also hate Americans. Don't fool yourself into thinking this is a thing only in Muslim countries.

She is one of the few real ones on cable news. That's why they fired her at MSNBC

They did the same thing to Mehdi Hasan.

okay? that part. cc: Melissa Harris-Perry, Mehdi Hasan, Tiffany Cross... etc etc

The Seven Levels of Why is the only professional workshop that ever fascinated me. Beyond the exercise itself, the answers from others by the 4th or 5th Why? were always good for a true “A ha” moment.

This is yet another example why we should not watch CNN or share their clips (or any in main stream media). Joy-ann is wasting her time and casting pearls amongst swine. She gave a cogent, historically accurate response and clearly communicated the "WHY" only to be met with buffoonery.

They could never make me hate this lady!

bsky.app/profile/flip...

“They hate our freedom! They hate our way of life!” So does the Heritage Foundation. So does the Federalist Society. Fight those degenerates.

DAMN JOY!

She just gave an history lesson for these idiots

God forbid someone actually talk about historical facts! Is his hair piece two-tone? Poorly matched? On backward? All of the above? What’s going on?

Git em Joy!

📌

THATS how you clear a hoe

I knew this as a young teenager during the Reagan/Carter election. I had a great civics teacher who used the election as learning plan. Religion has a factor, just as we have here, but it was our greed that ignited the hatred. Greed is the seed of wars. Religion is a process to control the masses

It’s so easy to blame their religion for their perception of the West. It’s a simple concept that’s easy to sell & deflects from the reality that it’s really about the extraction of wealth. “They hate our freedom.” is another trope to uphold the West as righteous. *eyeroll*

I'm only 2 seconds in and THE LOOK ON HER FACE Oh this is gonna be good.

Joy “obliterated” their tired talking points about Iran’s anger toward the US.

Their responses to her were shallow, stereotypical drivel. “Blah blah blah … everyone is jealous of us … blah blah.”

The American problem: Ignorance (of history, other cultures, reality) allows the masses to be easily manipulated by the greedy to act against their own best interests and common sense. This cannot be corrected because in America the worst thing you can do is admit you’re wrong or made a mistake.

1/2 The #cult is so angry because they lack significance and belonging so they cling to this large faction. They will still go to any lengths to own the libs and they'll go down with the ship. They are like an organized, hateful, crass, vile gang. I dunno how different they are from M13.

2/3 heavily involved in lucrative illegal enterprises, being notorious for its use of violence to achieve its objectives. Fear and intimidation are used in extorting payments from any legitimate or illegitimate business owners

3/3 for the right to conduct their business in MS-13 territory. MS-13 members have been involved in rapes and witness intimidation. so...

Yep. Afghanistan Vietnam Iran America's own history Are prime examples.

Cook is in your name so I'm not surprised to see it. 💯💯

I cannot believe that grown, supposedly-intelligent adults in 2025 are giving analysis as dumb and jingoistic as "the Iranians hate our freedom."

Checkmate

It’s symptomatic of Mediocre White Man Syndrome to think an answer like “because they hate our way of life” is on par with her answer.

This is what I absolutely cannot get over. Joy explains, clear as crystal, why people in Iran might feel negatively about the US, and somehow that meaningless non-answer is meant to be a rebuttal. Utterly maddening.

Their desperation to jump in and spout more empty propaganda is so typical.

arrogant white dudes
