One of the easiest thing in politics to understand is who are the small sliver of people who benefit from the always increasing, wildly inflated annual military budget, and why members of Congress in both parties are so eager to do their bidding: https://t.co/Y4cCqPnZ9X — PolitiTweet.org

@brockm Yes, the Right also invented the tactic of accusing their political opponents of being Kremlin agents. That's the point: establishment liberals have fully adopted the mindset and tactics of the old Right. — PolitiTweet.org

The liberal Defenders of Democracy™ support a union of state and corporate power to censor their opponents; revere CIA and FBI; want the NSA and DHS to spy on Americans and decree Truth; and want their enemies (including journalists) prosecuted under sedition and espionage laws. https://t.co/hzqXpeEhvr — PolitiTweet.org

Malcolm Nance says that Americans who don't support his party are not "real Americans" and should leave the country to go live in Russia. How come so many of the self-proclaimed democracy defenders constantly sound like petty authoritarians? — PolitiTweet.org

@theRealMKNY No. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Both votes had overwhelming bipartisan consensus. The 2023 military budget -- far larger than any other country -- had only 101 NO votes to 329 YES votes. 62 Republicans voted NO along with 39 Dems. The establishment wings of the two parties fully agree on the largest questions. https://t.co/ZUz06DvsJI — PolitiTweet.org

In May, Biden requested $33b to give to Raytheon and the CIA "for the war in Ukraine." Congress, on a bipartisan basis, arbitrarily increased it by $7b to $40b. This month, Biden requested $803b for 2023 military spending. Congress arbitrarily increased it by $37b, to $840b. — PolitiTweet.org

How many times must straight liberals decree that if you want to talk to LGBTs about issues within the LGBT community, these are *not* the right LGBTs? Yes, their lives have been shaped by these questions, but they're off-limits. Check first with liberals on who is approved: — PolitiTweet.org

@rheinwaldjones @espiers Yes, I was able to do well precisely because I always had a large readership who believed in the value of my work and was thus willing to support it, exactly as I said. That continues to be true to this very day, where the bulk of my income comes from readers. — PolitiTweet.org

@zrahul2020 @espiers There's zero chance she didn't understand that point. With no other argument left, she resorted to implying I'm a racist by distorting my argument into one where I was accusing her of bigotry toward white men. Almost every discussion with a liberal pundit ends with that game. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@espiers No, your bigotry is against the non-white and female conservatives whose existence you deny and ignore so that you can pretend you're only criticizing white men. — PolitiTweet.org

NYT on Trump and the Saudis (Khashoggi's murder "demands that no one in Saudi Arabia, certainly not the crown prince, escape accountability").

@espiers I think your tactic is bigotry masquerading as enlightenment: like when journalists pretended Bernie's most vocal supporters were white guys ("Bernie Bros"), thus erasing his fervent female/non-white supporters. Conservatives object to gender ideology, not just the white ones. — PolitiTweet.org

@espiers It's OK to criticize people's views even if they're not white males. You don't have to pretend the perspective you want to critique is one that's the exclusive provenance of white men before it's OK to disagree with it. Many female and non-white conservatives also hold that view. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BrianRovner Nobody thinks the US should go to war against Saudi Arabia. The issue is that Biden is actively supporting and propping up the Saudi dictatorship with arms, money and diplomatic support after vowing during the campaign to turn them into "pariahs." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@espiers I don't know how you're able to discern the race and especially sex/gender of people who are in your time-line - how do you know that? - but if there's any difference in interest in pronouns, women (such as JK Rowling) are among the most vocal critics of this new gender ideology. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is genuinely hilarious: 1) the headline on Jim Risen's Intercept article about the 1/6 hearings; 2) the concluding paragraph of that article; 3) the Intercept's fundraising pitch that immediately follows that article. https://t.co/iKNrV209QX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@espiers No, I think there's no difference in how often conservatives talk about pronouns based on race and sex - many critics of gender ideology are women - but you had to single out "white male conservatives" for criticism because, in your faction, extra points are rewarded for that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rheinwaldjones @espiers It's unfair to judge others by whether they have equalled the accomplishments of Nick Rheinwald-Jones. Who among us can get close? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@espiers I'd be quite surprised if your timeline contained many black female conservatives, to put that mildly, but as someone who does follow the discourse of various factions, I really doubt there's any difference in pronoun interest among conservatives based on race and gender. — PolitiTweet.org

@espiers Where do black female conservatives and male Latino conservatives fit on this spectrum? Do white male conservatives actually care more about pronouns than other types of conservatives, or are those the only ones you feel you're allowed to publicly criticize? — PolitiTweet.org

@HawassHat @hcasan0va Who is the HITLER in this example? Putin or Mohammad bin Salman? Or Joe Biden, who led the way in the Senate to invade Iraq? I'm sorry you never got to study any history in school besides HITLER. The world is a bit more complex than that. — PolitiTweet.org

She somehow managed to turn her Vice Presidency into a worse debacle than her presidential campaign, which ended before a single vote was cast. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hcasan0va He promised to turn the Saudis into "pariahs." Then he went to visit them and reaffirm the US/Saudi partnership. Whether he chose a fist bump, a handshake or a hug and kiss as his greeting is secondary at most. — PolitiTweet.org
