Rumble doesn't have "ties with Russia." But even if they did, the far more important point is that one of the benefits of living in a free country is that authoritarian politicians like @SenRickScott have zero right or power to instruct independent platforms what they can allow. — PolitiTweet.org

Any for any moral cretins getting ready to utter the cliché they've been trained to say - "whataboutism" - it's not about that. It's about seeing if people are wiling to live under the same standards they want to impose on others. I understand why many want to bar that inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

It's about this grotesque announcement: "Russian tennis players may be forced to denounce Putin to compete at Wimbledon" https://t.co/Awa6YcGR6F — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Totally agree. I think any British subject of the Crown who doesn't immediately and vocally condemn the UK Government for showering Saudi tyrants with weapons, tech and intelligence to destroy Yemen should be banned from all events and institutions. Silence is complicity. — PolitiTweet.org

@SandyHendry @mtracey What absolute, unmitigated propagandistic bullshit. I can’t count the number of times I’ve spoken to Russians, in Russia, as they vehemently criticized Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattklewis Both. I think it’s grotesque to publicly accuse people of the grave crime of treason, then afterward try to justify it as just colloquial. That’s the danger the founders warned about: criminalizing dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HuskerNewman @TylerwittWitt Running a presidential campaign on a plank of less hawkishness or confrontational posture toward Russia is not treason. It's not even close to treason. If it were, Barack Obama would be in prison for having said this in 2016: https://t.co/yrY9U99q1W — PolitiTweet.org

@lcwhitlock14 @skizzle2k9 @MittRomney @HillaryClinton @TulsiGabbard Virtually every #Resistance liberal is now the demented love child of J. Edgar Hoover and Joseph McCarthy: astonishing, and repulsive, to watch. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mattklewis There is no such thing as being a "traitor" regarding Russia since -- as was true during the Cold War -- the US is not at war with Russia (thankfully) and thus it is not and cannot be considered an "enemy" of the US under the Constitution. https://t.co/8env1OXzWd https://t.co/XfoZMCLExV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TylerwittWitt Deciding to believe that another country's claims is more accurate and reliable than the CIA's isn't in the same universe as treason, for so many reasons, including this one: https://t.co/GzWydvC5iq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A defining trait of neocons is accusing anyone of being traitors or "on the other side" at the first hint of any dissent, especially over official war policies. That tactic is now the primary weapon of liberals: everyone who opposes them is a traitor and/or a Russian agent. https://t.co/vNynSdFrmf — PolitiTweet.org

@skizzle2k9 @MittRomney @HillaryClinton @TulsiGabbard When did illiteracy of the type you just demonstrated become so rampant? Are you incapable of processing these sentences? https://t.co/kejdg3Wv8A — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

John Podhoretz - scion of one of a royal neocon family - is right about 2 points here: 1) The bipartisan consensus now formed embraces defining neocon principles; 2) The main opponents of neoconservatism no longer are liberals (they support it), but the anti-intervention right. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's extra repulsive to watch those who demand US wars fought only by others' kids -- such as @MittRomney and @HillaryClinton -- smear those who volunteered to fight their wars (like @TulsiGabbard) as "traitors." There's a difference between "criticism" and *treason accusations*. https://t.co/N3anZ4tv0t — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Exploiting the tragic death of a brave journalist in a war zone to smear another journalist as a Kremlin propagandist. These people's souls are rotted from the inside out: consumed with jingoism and a McCarthyite zeal to hunt traitors, leaving them convinced all tactics are just — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is difficult, if not impossible, to find any despot in history who does not weaponize accusations of “treason" against dissidents as a central instrument for control. That U.S. discourse has now descended completely to that level is barely debatable: https://t.co/VV7JcWSOXO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Either way, "treason" is insanely inapplicable to expressing *political views* about Russia. The US isn't at war with Russia. And the Constitution was designed to *protect*, not criminalize* dissent. And yet this "treason" mania consumes idiots across the political spectrum: https://t.co/cYyNFxpVfI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As Gabbard herself explains here, the media is blatantly lying about what she said. She didn't say there were biological *weapons* labs in Ukraine. She said what WHO & US officials, including Nuland, have warned: there are dangerous unsecured bio labs. https://t.co/uvxnblUKuy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the past 48 hours: -- The Daily Beast tabloid implied Gabbard is a Kremlin asset. -- Romney accused Gabbard of "treason." -- The View hosts called on DOJ to criminally investigate her and Tucker Carlson. -- Keith Olbermann said the duo should be "militarily detained." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Founders limited "treason" in the Constitution due to concerns it would be abused to criminalize dissent: what is now routine. Neocons weaponized it during the War on Terror. It was the dominant theme of the Trump years. The war in Ukraine has brought it to all new levels. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Mitt Romney's "Treason" Smear of Tulsi Gabbard is False and Noxious, But Now Typifies U.S. Discourse https://t.co/VV7JcWSOXO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThePortalsBand I agree it has its benefits. But it's only when people choose it can those benefits be maximized. If it's coerced - if people have no other choice - it can breed resentment. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

PEW: A majority of young adults in the U.S. live with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression Note it was going up way before the COVID pandemic: the rotted fruits of the neoliberal order. Maybe this is why people hate US elites? https://t.co/pniGX3Cfsu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Speaking of @TheRickWilson's sick soul: beyond all the other sleazy, scumbag, rotted DC schemes for which he's notorious, remember he raised $65k from gullible liberals on GoFundMe for an anti-Trump film he never made. Fraud enables one to leave home: https://t.co/dVlAd7rVqg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The % of Americans 30 and younger who live with their parents is at the highest since the Great Depression: due to severe wealth inequality, industry losses, lower wages, and the pandemic. It so happens that @mtracey doesn't, but mocking those who do takes a sickness of soul. https://t.co/6RjevcJm5A — PolitiTweet.org

@EsotericCD Yes, and also: while he took it a step or 10 further (being Keith Olbermann), the discussion was started by Mitt Romney accusing Tulsi of treason and then Ana Navarro using that to say both she and Tucker Carlson should be criminally investigated by the DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org
