@blue_ventilator Do you feel we should dispense with the trial and skip to the punishment stage? Or is the technicality of a trial still annoyingly necessary to see if the DOJ's claims are actually true and legally valid? — PolitiTweet.org

@jondograu @mito_chondria People who repeat the view of the NYT and CNN in the US always think they're smart. In Brazil, people who repeat the view of Globo think they're smart. In both countries, those corporate news outlets favor online censorship, so those who agree think they're smart because of it. — PolitiTweet.org

@FredricMorenius People who want Bolsonaro gone are extremely eager for him to be gone -- much like those in the US who hated Trump -- and they are willing to back whoever they think is the strongest candidate to defeat Bolsonaro, which for them, right now, means Lula. We'll see if it changes. — PolitiTweet.org

@mito_chondria I sat with him for 3 hours twice in the last 3 months and I'd say he's significantly smarter than many of those who call him dumb. People who cling to establishment opinion always think they're smart because of it. It just means they're obedient. It's the same attack as on Rogan. — PolitiTweet.org

Lula continues to hold a gigantic lead in every poll for the Oct. 2022 presidential election. At some point, large amounts of money will be poured into reminding people why they turned against him and his party, but so far, nothing is eroding this lead. If anything, it's growing — PolitiTweet.org

@SpassosRJ Autoridades estaduais e o torneio determinaram que ele se enquadrava no requisito legal de excessão de vacina - aqueles que tiveram COVID nos últimos 3 meses e, portanto, não precisam de vacinação. É por isso que ele veio: foi-lhe dito que ele poderia entrar legalmente. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the host of a very popular Joe-Rogan-style podcast in Brazil who has become the target of enormous amounts of rage and even hatred for opposing Big Tech censorship and defending free speech, a view shared by very few in Brazil's mainstream political/media establishment. — PolitiTweet.org

@godseyeza My first book argued that Dick Cheney was a criminal who should be prosecuted for various War on Terror crimes, including torture and illegal domestic eavesdropping. The title included "a President Run Amok," which meant George Bush. My book argued the opposite of what you claim. https://t.co/3iDRlFoRGe — PolitiTweet.org

@SpassosRJ Como ele está colocando outros tenistas em risco? Isso não faz sentido científico. Ele acabou de ter COVID, então ele tem imunidade. E pessoas vacinadas estão passando COVID a outras com grande frequência. — PolitiTweet.org

This is what happened the last time sedition charges were brought. It was 2012, and the Obama DOJ under Eric Holder charged 5 members of the Christian militia Hutaree. The judge threw out all the charges, ruling it was based on protected speech. https://t.co/7w0Q2Mwgd0 — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats/US liberalism is an authoritarian movement. Everything is catastrophized: going back to Russiagate, they don't fight political opponents but instead traitors and terrorists. Sedition is typically an authoritarian tool so of course they love it: https://t.co/YZTBdj6OZC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

After Dems spent 4 years pretending to want an apolitical DOJ, they mounted increasingly shrill attacks on Garland to the point that he had to have a news conference to promise he'll do more. Let's see if "sedition" holds up in court. It rarely does. https://t.co/tsNgQafvvl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats are such authoritarians that they really do believe DOJ charges are tantamount to Truth. Yes, Merrick Garland -- after a year of refusing to do so -- capitulated to mounting pressure and attacks from Dems by finally charging sedition. Everything in this video was true: — PolitiTweet.org

@CryptatorX @RoKhanna He represents a heavily Democratic district. You think Democrats want to hear him going on Fox to argue that the Hunter Biden story shouldn't have been censored? Don't be absurd: there's zero political gain for him to say this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@andrej_dukic Agreed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Rep. @RoKhanna (D-CA), on Fox, says tech giants were wrong to censor the reporting based on Hunter Biden docs before the election, arguing Big Tech should not be "the arbiter of truth." Amazing that a politician says this, while most journalists won't. https://t.co/zqs0tkbgTI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's the same reaction I had watching the Rittenhouse trial. The extreme attention cast on that proceeding ensured he had far more protections than defendants typically get. I was glad he was acquitted -- the right verdict -- but that should be the rule, not the exception. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

People in Djokovic's situation routinely linger for months or years without any judicial attention or concern. Regardless of one's views of his situation, there's something a bit repellent about watching such quick, careful and attentive action in this one case given who he is. — PolitiTweet.org

-- Manchin joins Sinema in rejecting Biden's speech, emphatically reaffirms his commitment to maintain the filibuster, choosing -- in the new framework created by Joe Biden and the Democrats -- to stand with George Wallace and Jim Crow segregationists: https://t.co/0D1ootl9id — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Gorsuch's concurrence, signed by Alito and Thomas, he made a passive-aggressive reference to the Twitter boasting of Ron Klain, Biden's WH Chief of Staff, about what a clever "work-around" of Congress this vaccine mandate is. That was cited as a reason it's legally invalid. https://t.co/tjAghFKomy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In other words, today's Supreme Court ruling has nothing to do with vaccine mandates on the merits and everything to do with the limits of presidential power to act by decree: https://t.co/ynFmkwzyUw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Nothing in today's 6-3 Supreme Court ruling stops Congress from imposing a vaccine mandate for large employers. Congress is free to do so. The ruling is that since Congress did not, Biden/The Department of Labor don't have authority under OSHA to unilaterally impose one. https://t.co/SPBYyPAlSB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Normally it should go without saying ,but in this authoritarian climate, it does not: A charge by the DOJ -- especially one under political pressure -- isn't tantamount to proof of guilt. The last sedition charges -- by the Obama DOJ -- were tossed out. https://t.co/7w0Q2Mwgd0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is interesting that the excuse for not charging Ray Epps was that he was merely on restricted ground but never entered the Capitol. By all accounts, Rhodes also never entered the Capitol, so sedition will have to depend on his incitement/planning. https://t.co/jvexBeA5UH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@edonomics Wrong about what? I know liberals are complete authoritarians but even authoritarians understand that a criminal charge does not equate to proof of guilt. That's what trials are for. The last sedition charge -- brought by the Obama DOJ -- was tossed out. https://t.co/7w0Q2MwO2y — PolitiTweet.org
