Liberals spent the Trump years heralding themselves as defenders of "norms." Now they want to abolish the Senate, Electoral College, and judicial review. Judicial review is what enabled Griswold, Loving, Lawrence, Obergefell and Roe: all invalidated democratically enacted laws. — PolitiTweet.org

@MasonTBecker @DougJBalloon Many around the world view NATO as a force for evil, as a result of the wreckage, instability and destruction it brought to them. But to know this, you'd have to talk to people other than Rachel Maddow fans, Atlantic readers, and people who think CNN is a great news network. — PolitiTweet.org

@MasonTBecker @DougJBalloon Leftists for NATO! (but only from a safe distance, sitting in Wisconsin feeling strong and patriotic), but never getting near the wars and dangers you want the US to pursue. — PolitiTweet.org

All this is why left-liberal media fixates on culture war issues (abortion/trans/guns) with so little time on foreign policy, militarism, CIA, US Security State. Culture war is one of the few places where old left/right fights apply, so it's the only place they feel comfortable. — PolitiTweet.org

A main attack on Obama from the GOP establishment militarism wing -- McCain/Graham/Jeb/Rubio -- was Obama was "soft" on Putin. Obviously, Dems mocked Romney for that in 2012. That the McCain/Rubio view is now how liberals think is why neocons find so much popularity among Dems. https://t.co/xqQ7DvymuW — PolitiTweet.org

It's fascinating to read Obama -- and Antony Blinken's arguments -- against arming Ukraine. These comments were from 2015: after the Russians were backing separatists in E. Ukraine and after it annexed Crimea. If you say any of this now, Dems accuse you of treason. https://t.co/vvvvP7OrQ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The irony of Dems' new McCarthy identity -- accusing their critics of being Kremlin loyalists -- is nobody was more "soft" on Russia than Obama: refused to arm Ukraine, avoided confronting them over Syria, emphasized cooperation with Putin. But pre-Trump history doesn't exist. https://t.co/bzeXA2Wvrj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Before anyone thought Trump would run -- as early as 2014 -- neocons were openly talking about returning to the Dem Party. They thought Hillary would be president and know there'd be nobody more hawkish. All her criticisms of Obama were over insufficient militarism.👇 https://t.co/IKLyfMxjGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Neocons did not migrate back to and become fully embraced by Democrats solely or even principally due to horror over Trump. It was far more ideological and systemic than that. With the success of Ron Paul, then Trump, they perceived Dems, not the GOP, were their natural allies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is how an entire new generation of American liberals are trained to speak whenever anyone questions US foreign policy, hegemony, imperialism, NATO expansion, etc. That's why so few in left-liberal media even mention let alone debate CIA, NATO, etc. https://t.co/t79nm0ncGV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every time the US pledges to go to war for some new foreign country (NATO), the consequences are gigantic. Of course Americans should ask whether it's worth sending American kids to fight such wars. But it's regarded as treason, or being a Russian assert, even to question it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's close to zero discussion on the mainstream liberal-left about foreign policy, US Security State, NATO, imperialism: just doesn't exist. The entire Dem Party is united behind classic US militarism so there's nothing for them to say. The only dissent comes from the right: — PolitiTweet.org

Disgust over the moral perversity and cruelty of factory farms is now fully trans-ideological: both left and right and neither. Great Matthew Scully in @NRO, citing Catholic moral doctrine, on Biden DOJ's unity with the pork industry to strike down California's anti-cruelty law: — PolitiTweet.org

@PatrickStrother It's a psychological and emotional reaction of self-protection, not a rational or reasoned one. — PolitiTweet.org

@ichbinmandryka Getting on your knees and crawling to submit to the orders of the world's most powerful government isn't courage, but stupidity. Precisely because he knew that he was risking his liberty for his values is why he is more courageous than you would be if you lived to be 800. — PolitiTweet.org

@vlad_galer @Snowden Your brain is stuck in a Tom Clancy novel and a CIA-to-NYT conspiracy theory. https://t.co/dXZEXYyUGh — PolitiTweet.org

@theNewsfox I didn't mean to like it. I meant to like the one criticizing Boyle, as I've done for days. I instantly unliked Boyle's when I realized and liked the one above it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ichbinmandryka Who was he "running" from and why? What have you ever done in your life that remotely compares to what he did? You smear people online while too scared even to put your name on it. And he didn't chose Russia; Obama officials trapped him there. https://t.co/x1pePbAZBm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adammpark He led the charge on television to urge a pardon for Assange, and also aired those doing so for Snowden, because he's able to recognize and respect the courage and sacrifice shown by others, rather than feel threatened and shamed by such people. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's the same reason that employees of media corporations are the ones who harbor the greatest hatred for Julian Assange. Assange is everything they pretend to be and are supposed to be, so his existence is like an eternal mirror held up showing what they really are, and are not. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The twerpiest, most cowardly people who never risked or sacrificed for any cause -- and never well, due to their cowardice -- are always the ones leading the charge against those whose life is shaped by that courage, precisely because they feel shamed by such people. https://t.co/PbNltu83YT — PolitiTweet.org

@Sammyeduardo Mas em quais instituições você confia para tomar essas decisões de censura? Agora, eles estão sendo feitos por bilionários americanos. Quem você quer que tome essas decisões? O judiciário brasileiro - muitos indicados por Temer e Bolsonaro, que apoiaram LJ e a prisão do Lula? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cpdagosta Neither. That's what confuses, and upsets, blind partisan loyalists like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Sammyeduardo Você não é só um censor autoritário, mas, pior ainda, confia em bilionários americanos no Google e o Facebook para controlar os debates do Brasil. A primeira reportagem que fiz sobre a censura do FB foi como eles silenciaram ativistas palestinos a pedido de Israel. Vc criou isso: https://t.co/Pc2hhN0cNr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Sammyeduardo Sempre fui um defensor da liberdade de expressão porque não confio que autoritários como você tenham o poder de decidir quais ideias devem ou não ser permitidas. Esse foi um poder que a ditadura militar no Brasil e todas as outras tiranias conquistaram. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani It's just basic human nature. If someone tells you that they'll be a loyal follower forever and never walk away no matter what, of course you're never going to care about them, only those who are willing to walk away. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The people Dems laugh at most are the liberals who think they're going to "push them left" yet who, at the same time, pledge their unconditional loyalty to vote for Democrats no matter what they do. The pre-MSNBC @Lawrence explained how pathetic this is: https://t.co/mkpL5LIl4Q — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These "disgruntled" Dem loyalists in left media are the most valuable asset the Party has. They're the ones who give pseudo-leftists the marching orders to vote Democrat every election while letting them feel cooler than their Maddow-watching, Pelosi-loving moms who do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How come the Party to which I've repeatedly and publicly pledged my eternal, unconditional, blind loyalty doesn't care what I think, doesn't listen to my grievances, and doesn't every try to appease my concerns? — PolitiTweet.org
