@TheIpHawk @RodBoydILM I apologize for speaking ill of Bill Kristol. I know how much that angers liberals and I love that, among your crowd, it's not Bill Kristol himself but rather criticizing Bill Kristol that is now regarded as "extremism" and done only for corrupt motives, not from conviction. — PolitiTweet.org

@sullydish @DouthatNYT @BillKristol Now he's very deeply concerned about the dignity of trans people and their equality under the law. Bill Kristol has really evolved, perfectly coinciding with the broader neocon strategy of aligning with the Dem Party as the more hospitable of the two to their foreign policy. 🌈 — PolitiTweet.org

@ButchCo34048757 @DouthatNYT David French has genuine convictions about social issues. Bill Kristol has none. — PolitiTweet.org

@MagicBelle1 @jordwanwolff145 I seriously doubt someone wrote a speech where he just casually announced to a US military squadron that they were headed to Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

@Juancaneloo LOL. You changed your photo and cropped out the parts you should have. Congrats on some self-awareness. Glad I could be of help.🇷🇺 — PolitiTweet.org

@marytf5 I've seen conflicting accounts on whether the emails from Ginni Thomas were already delivered as part of Meadows' release or whether they were part of what the WH wanted to withhold. If it's the latter, then it's a conflict of interest and Thomas should have recused himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jordwanwolff145 If you can listen to that and honestly conclude that there's anything strategic or planned about that -- as opposed to an already addled old man who is extra tired from long travel, meetings and time zone changes -- then we have very different perceptions of the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ButchCo34048757 @DouthatNYT Kristol delivered Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle, both noted for right-wing social issues (the latter more so). He partnered with Liz Cheney to accuse GITMO lawyers of being aligned with Al Qaeda. He's always been a right-wing culture warrior: until 5 years ago when he 100% switched. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's been a month since Russia invaded so a type of normalcy has settled in, but it's still the case that you can't overstate the dangers of the US fighting a proxy war against Russia, especially after 6 years of Russiagate priming half the country to blame Russia for all ills. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is more vague, incoherent and rambling than some deliberate or clear statement that US troops are headed to Ukraine, but that's the problem. You can't send confused signals when it comes to an already highly tense conflict between the world's two largest nuclear powers: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@carloshuman Just over a decade ago, the Weekly Standard was publishing stuff about how marriage equality would mean the end of Western civilization. Now Kristol condemns GOP governors in the name of trans rights. He waves BLM and rainbow flags. A full conversion: https://t.co/8O27XvztbY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DouthatNYT Yeah, that's fair, but the pre-9/11 neocon position was very anti-Clinton: not hawkish enough on China, Iran, Iraq, pro-Israel, so they already were aligned with GOP. But after 9/11, it intensified: I think it was Eric Alterman who noted how many started using Texan affectations. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@carloshuman I mean, every week he posts stuff signifying his full agreement with the left's cultural agenda whereas, a decade ago, he was fully on board with the right's. https://t.co/9KjQoCqo3b — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DouthatNYT I'm not sure of the point you're making. Your latter example affirms my point. I don't recall a single one of those neocons objecting to the GOP/Rove social issues strategies of using anti-gay marriage referenda or more extreme expressions about Muslims. Many were on board. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@carloshuman Bill Kristol is now so absurdly woke that it became a meme. Neocons will adopt literally any view they need to in order to ensure their militarism policies - the only thing they actually care about - get served. https://t.co/87zAzYIM8d — PolitiTweet.org

@Juancaneloo You should strongly consider replacing your photo. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

After 9/11, neocons cynically and vocally adopted all the right-wing views on social issues to ingratiate themselves into the GOP in order to exploit the party for their warmongering desires. Now they're doing the same with liberal social issues and Dems: https://t.co/msEe335I4o — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These shabby, dissent-demonizing patriotism attacks are the inevitable by-product of rehabilitating Bush/Cheney-era neocons and then elevating them back as leaders of foreign policy discourse and policy-making in liberal political/media circles. This is what they do best: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those who got convinced that concerns about the power of Ukrainian neo-Nazi militias are a fabrication of the Kremlin/RT, or are being exaggerated in fringe circles, watch this video from the most mainstream outlet -- @TIME -- from **9 months ago**: https://t.co/lJctveYkhH — PolitiTweet.org

@LegacyGT3 I've said it countless times. I just don't say it every 5 seconds or on command to prove what side I'm on. I say it if and only if it's necessary to the point I'm making. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@negrosubversive Anyway, here's the most in-depth article I wrote when profiling an interracial gay couple in Brazil who adopted 3 black brothers. Has lots of data about the race factor but also the age and other factors: https://t.co/FdcVP6cGfn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@negrosubversive Also, the old discourse about interracial adoption assumes white parents adopting black children. As more and more married couples are interracial, that doesn't apply. Interracial couples will necessarily have adopted kids that have a different race than at least one parent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@negrosubversive I can speak best to Brazil's adoption system both because I've reported on it and have personal experience. There is for sure a racist component (large % of adopting parents want white kids, though it's shrinking), but the biggest barrier is age. Almost nobody wants kids above 6. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The propaganda system imposed on the west has ushered in the most explicit Nazi apologia I've ever seen. Hence the constant refrain:" yes, Hitler was bad, but he was no Putin." Azov loyalists turned into celebrities. FB changing its rules to allow praise: https://t.co/zYbWyRfKuj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Among so many examples, here's a 2014 Guardian article headlined: "Azov fighters are Ukraine's greatest weapon and may be its greatest threat." It describes the "neo-Nazi leanings of many of its members." You can't just re-write history when convenient. https://t.co/TU0ONHPkLL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Azov's power doesn't justify a Russian invasion of Ukraine. But that doesn't make it irrelevant. At the very least, efforts should be made to prevent the massive amount of lethal arms flooding Ukraine ending up in their hands. And we shouldn't make stars of their adherents. https://t.co/OMXr1mKAp0 — PolitiTweet.org
