The monomaniacal focus on Trump - treating him as the cause of all US evils rather than a symptom, pretending nobody before did what he did - created a sort of magical penance: just oppose Trump and all your past evils are washed away and you're reborn with a cable contract. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This wasn't by coincidence. A key reason the shitty, corrupt, imperialistic, corporatist DC Swamp was so eager to inflate the fairy tale that Trump was a unique evil was because it rehabilitated all of them and distracted attention from what they do: https://t.co/evgLyDLY4n — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of the most overlooked facts in US political life: how many millions began paying attention to politics only due to Trump and thus don't know, or forgot, any history before him. That's why they can revere CIA, the Cheneys, MSNBC neocons, not know what Biden is, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

The @CIA has a new Twitter header. At least, unlike the FBI, they've had the decency so far not to exploit MLK's legacy to disguise what they are and what they do. I guess they feel their lovely new Twitter header is enough for that. https://t.co/fcs7zqrMEC — PolitiTweet.org

@rbcosm0 @naomiosaka No country on earth that I'm aware of has made it legally mandatory to get the COVID vaccine: certainly no democratic country. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is one of the best accounts I've recently newly followed on here in quite some time. Brings ample joy in unexpected ways. Highly recommended. — PolitiTweet.org

@rbcosm0 @naomiosaka I have the same views about that as Jeremy Corbyn does, as I've said many times: https://t.co/WMB4iiiuNH — PolitiTweet.org

@patihedden Yes, significantly. I pay taxes to both the US and the Brazilian governments and have for many years. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@patihedden How does living in Virginia mean you have a "skin in the game" for Ukraine? It's far away. The 108k tax exemption for US citizens with permanent residence exists because we have to pay taxes to the government where we live as well, which you don't have to do. It's not a gift. — PolitiTweet.org

@RFyvolent @Copernicus2013 Your understanding of US courts is about a 6th grade level, and even then, more sophisticated 6th graders don't fall for the shit you've ingested. Here you go: https://t.co/3d0rsXcuJz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RFyvolent @Copernicus2013 Oh, wow - there are people who think the US is following the rule of law and trying to give Assange (or Snowden) something resembling a fair trial, not just using show trials and the cover of law to punish dissidents? LOL. Honestly didn't think there were many left of you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@patihedden Since I don't have a messianic complex and don't believe in imperialism, I don't pretend to be defending the borders of Ukraine. Amy Klobuchar is a lawyer who lives in Washington and Minnesota. She's not actually there to fight Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

@RFyvolent @Copernicus2013 Ask Julian Assange about that: if you can get permission from the authorities of the high-security prison where he's being held to talk to him. — PolitiTweet.org

@cgpoggio Ask the Bolivians, as I did shortly after Evo Morales was deposed. Or ask the Cubans. https://t.co/DZVJHEwg4W I know there's a certain segment of "international relations experts" who love to find reasons why it's better (or different) when the US does it, but it's not. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MplsBarry The leaders of Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador and many others think it's quite a good analogy given their view that they are constantly being menaced by the US and the various ways - overt and clandestine - that the US interferes in and destabilizes their countries. — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeW_CA Your belief in my power to move the perceptions of large US voting blocks in a very short period of time is quite flattering. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cgpoggio Did you know that the US has interfered and continues to interfere in the internal affairs of Latin American countries generally and the three specific countries I identified specifically? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MplsBarry I love all the US patriotism appearing to insist the US has never militarily interfered in the countries of Latin America, never orchestrated coups there, never tried to depose unfriendly leaders and install friendly ones, never sought to claim that US sovereignty reigns there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Copernicus2013 Yes, the US has never interfered in Latin America or in Cuba or tried to extend its domination to the internal politics of those countries. Thank you for the important historical note of clarification. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In just one year, Biden somehow managed to take one of the largest polling leads Dems have had in Gallup's 30-year history ("nine-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter") and turn it into one of GOP's best showings ever ("5-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter"). — PolitiTweet.org

@Dustywindbag @Pcrawjr The way the Russians were supposedly doing with Afghans fighting US troops in their country? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Pcrawjr The US is making clear that they are providing arms to the Ukrainians to kill Russians, and have been doing that for years now. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Remember the American rage after the NYT spread the CIA lie that the Russia had been paying money to the Taliban to kill US troops? "Oh my god, how can the Russians possibly do something so evil as arm and fund people in countries we're occupying?!?" 😇 https://t.co/t2EPbRF4dX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I know we're not supposed to think this way but imagine if members of the Russian Parliament went to Cuba or Mexico or Bolivia and boasted that they were arming groups there to fight the US, then returned to Moscow and claimed it was the US interfering and acting provocatively. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Amy Klobuchar is standing up to Russian aggression, and the people of Minnesota are relieved. — PolitiTweet.org
