@DwahBob Do you know what "charmingly" means? I like Las Vegas. I love coming here. I find the city hilarious and trippy in the best way. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThePolesReport It's amazing to watch people with utter serf mentality like you not realize how pitiful it is: you're justifying how elites want major increases in armed protection for themselves while cutting it for you. You not only don't find it objectionable but search for ways to cheer it. — PolitiTweet.org

The episode should air on @cspan in 7-10 days. The book tells the story of the threats, violence and ultimately the attempt at criminal prosecution we had to endure to do this reporting in Brazil. When it was released, @MTaibbi wrote about it here: https://t.co/8z3Q7trmbl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Las Vegas today, I taped an episode for C-SPAN's BookTV series about "Securing Democracy," my book about the reporting we did in Brazil to expose judicial and prosecutorial corruption.🇧🇷 It's been a few years since I was last in LV: it's more charmingly tawdry than ever: https://t.co/SHxFd27xf3 — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine working as a CIA operative your entire life and then going around accusing others of "empowering murderers and enabling tyrants." — PolitiTweet.org

AOC, 6/30/2020: "Defunding the Police means defunding the police!", objecting to NYC's $1b in cuts for police budget as inadequate. AOC, 5/20/2021: Votes "present" to ensure passage of $2b more for Capitol Police. AOC, this week: Capitol Police must to more to protect me. https://t.co/yGBAde2IZ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Yet again, we're hearing these 2 messages from a certain sector of the Dem House caucus: 1) Defund the Police: for ordinary people. Concerns about crime are hysterical, due to "copaganda." 2) Far more aggression and funding is needed for the Capitol Police to protect *us*. — PolitiTweet.org

The US has been on an insane orgy of military spending since 9/11 at least. This big, bad war machine couldn't even defeat the Taliban after 20 years. That's because the real purpose isn't to win wars or security. It's this, as explained by Assange: https://t.co/LgicTREiZd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CoachBeaumont Nothing prevents you from crawling out behind your anonymous Twitter work and sending your own money to Ukraine or, better yet, heeding rather than ignoring the pleas of President Zelensky for people like you to go there and help fight Russia. https://t.co/y4dcSsRJCr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the worst and most destructive DC-media myths is that the two parties can't agree on anything any more, have nothing in common, are constantly fighting, etc. etc. The opposite is true: on the biggest issues, the establishment wings of both parties are in full agreement. https://t.co/MzQgKxugY1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As US military spending approaches $1 trillion annually, it's worth noting: this amount is more than 3 times more than the next higher spender, and more than the next 14 countries combined. It's also 13 times larger than the annual spending of Russia, the grave threat to the US. https://t.co/iOkqcW0xVW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Congratulations to the Pentagon, the US Security State, the weapons manufacturers and all their lobbyists who used to work on Capitol Hill for getting the House to increase Biden's $803b military spending request for 2022 by $37b: to a total of $843b. https://t.co/yARsvx0858 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That was around the same time they were staring at the kinetic COVID death clock and treating each COVID death as someone the US President had personally murdered. (Same time as when people pretended it was totally unusual rather than normal for US Presidents to embrace tyrants) — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when people pretended to care about the treatment of migrants at the border? https://t.co/4SZE4R2SOl — PolitiTweet.org

@rjt686 This is me in the corner covering my face with my hands, sitting in shame. Ugh. Sorry! It's extra sad because your tweet was funny. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rjt686 Everyone who writes for the Atlantic thinks like you do about Ukraine. Nobody who thinks like me writes there. You can write there; I can't. And what minimizes Nazi Germany and WW2 is the assertion that every new war and US enemy is exactly like WW2 and Hitler. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@navyyardproject You believe once Putin is done conquering Ukraine, he's headed to invade and seize all of Eastern Europe, on his way to his ultimate plan of incorporating Germany, France and the UK into his Russian empire, then onto the US, while building concentration camps for various groups? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is it possible that not all wars are like World War 2, that not all American adversaries are like Hitler and the Nazis, and that there are other historical events from which a rational person might draw lessons? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The NYT's claim that "Biden tried to isolate" MbL but failed is false. From the start - way before Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- Biden refused to sanction MbL, then approved a massive arms deal to the Saudis, then announced his planned trip. Biden has always hugged tyrants. https://t.co/nyp67k2Kay — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Trump continued the US/Saudi "partnership" after Khashoggi's murder, it was cast as an unprecedentedly amoral President embracing useful tyrants over American values (see 👆). As Biden meets today with the Saudi despot, it's: he has no choice given geo-strategic realities. https://t.co/lEJwBVIZvQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MerlinLynn75 Why are you ignoring Zelensky's pleas for foreigners like you who support Ukraine and believe it's urgent to fight Russian genocide to go to Ukraine and pick up the arms they want to give you to help? They're pleading for you to go: https://t.co/y4dcSsRJCr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whether one agrees or not with this position, it is clearly well within the realm of reasoned discourse and analysis. Yet after every last Dem - from AOC to Bernie - voted for Biden's $40b war package, you have to go to the GOP caucus to hear this in Congress. Why? Read it:👇 https://t.co/eETluzIaLk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This DSA statement is a reasonable view of the war in Ukraine and concerns about escalating US/NATO involvement. This view was long mainstream. Now, no Dem in Congress would utter this. In Congress, these concerns only come from 6 or 7 dozen populists on the right: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jtl_Morriss Yes, but this taco reference in the speech isn't really evidence of that. Just a cringe attempt to be literary gone wrong. There are other more substantive arguments to use about Democrats' very reductive and patronizing approach to race and ethnicity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Using these very poorly crafted references to suggest Jill Biden harbors bigotry and racism toward Latinos is of course absurd but it's the cynical framework that Democrats have created to malign all their critics, so they should have to also live under its rubric. Funny to see: — PolitiTweet.org
