@ThatsJacqueline Do you believe there was some nice, idyllic time when I used to love and ratify CIA claims about evil foreign villains and mindlessly cheer for the Dem Party? Are you really such a narcissist that you can't imagine people see the world differently than you absent bribery? — PolitiTweet.org

@wmcintyre84 I always said I never cared or knew much about crypto as an investment vehicle. What continues to interest me is the political potential of bitcoin specifically and blockchain generally to empower decentralization, anonymity and other liberatory values. https://t.co/kI5Q2YiN4q — PolitiTweet.org

@mesynsupreme @Ramanan_V Everyone in a "marginalized group" who ends up an enemy of liberal-left political factions says the same: they have never encountered brazen and explicit bigotry like what they get from those groups. The liberal/left believes they are too enlightened for their bigotry to be bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

SBF, the crypto billionaire whose entire scheme just crumbled, was a huge donor to Biden and the Dem Party. I guess if you want to blissfully believe this had nothing to do with the lack of scrutiny on his business, feel free. The irony is he might still get punished. Here's why: — PolitiTweet.org

@Ramanan_V These anti-gay attacks on me are 100% not just acceptable but the norm in those circles. They of course were never used until like 2 years ago when became an Official Enemy of various left-liberal sectors, but the minute that happened, the primary attacks are anti-gay ones. — PolitiTweet.org

(And as for the ID process: just outsource it to a well-regarded and secure third party to minimize the risk of hacking/doxing. No need for Twitter to keep or harvest that data. If you require basic proof of identity, you democratize blue checks without the impersonation problem) — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Ask any member of what US liberal/left calls "marginalized groups" who they view as heretics and they're tell you the same thing: They never hear bigoted attacks as viciously or continuously as from US liberals. It's fully accepted That's the @kurtbardella/JoyAnnReid lesson. https://t.co/Mdh0GNMGLr — PolitiTweet.org

As I've said before, I've warred with every faction during my journalism career: Bush/Cheney conservatives, neocons, the Brazilian right, the Brazilian left, UK establishment. The *only* faction that routinely deploys homophobic tropes against me is the US liberal/left. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's a verified account using my name that is clearly a liberal: bashing me for insufficiently fealty to Dems. And it's basically nothing but a mountain of every sick anti-gay trope: fundraising for NAMBLA, seeking kids to date, poisoned my husband because he got too old etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Blue-checks for anyone is good for democratizing Twitter, but the solution is obvious: 1) require proof of identity and 2) name changes result its loss. Anonymity is crucial for the internet - not everyone can speak under their names - but blue checks can be for verified ID. — PolitiTweet.org

@ROIforLIFE The chances are quite low GOP will take control of the Senate - possible but unlikely -- and their House gains are so anemic that there's still a chance they won't take that. It's highly likely they'll take the House but there's no denying it's disappointing given the context. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's amazing how quickly the press turns on someone when they lose. For years, Stacey Abrams was treated as a secular saint. But now that she lost again (this time by enough to prevent her election denialism), NYT spews criticisms and negative attacks. https://t.co/qx4fY0JMYa — PolitiTweet.org

Good news! In light of the relatively good outcome for Democrats in the 2022 midterms, there have been no claims about Russian interference in the election. Russia is accused of interfering in Our Democracy only when Democrats do not win. — PolitiTweet.org

@esqlegaleagle @mtaibbi @DavidSacks We're going to launch on Locals first for a couple of weeks of a test run, probably on Tuesday, and then launch the full show on Rumble a couple weeks after that. Just everything depends always on the health crisis in my family, but we're trying. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's the short video version of the above thread on the 2016 version of MAGA, and the fundamental similarities and deep cooperation between the establishment wings of both parties - from a June discussion I had with @mtaibbi and @DavidSacks in Miami: https://t.co/J2nAKlXX9f — PolitiTweet.org

Ever since Lula was declared the winner, there have been some sizable protests, but little indication from Bolsonaro or the institutions composing his movement that they intend to contest the results. The Defense Ministry is run by a General. Hard to know the effects it will have — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Brazil's Defense Ministry, commanding the Armed Forces, sent a report to the top election court, which the court publicly said found no fraud. Today, the Ministry issued this statement emphasizing it did not rule out fraud, and believes there should be an "urgent" investigation: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mazemoore Absolutely: same what the center-right Blairites in Labour purposely sabotaged Corbyn, because they'd rather have lost to Theresa May or Boris Johnson than win with Corbyn. The establishment wings of both parties have way more in common than differences and support each other. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@demiroolshude I understand this sentiment. Trump is a huge distraction, undisciplined, guaranteed to suck up all attention on himself. I get the desire for a different/better messenger, but DeSantis believes little of Trump's winning 2016 campaign that became "MAGA." DeSantis is standard GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at US involvement in the war in Ukraine. The vast majority of the GOP establishment is 100% united with Biden/Dems/neocons: they want full-scale US role. Opposition only comes from the MAGA wing of the GOP (MTG/Tucker) and the anti-imperialist left unrepresented in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Trump's 2016 campaign was based on denunciations of Reagan/Bush/GOP orthodoxy on domestic policy and Bush/Cheney/neocon orthodoxy on foreign policy. That's why neocons and the GOP establishment hated him. That's what "MAGA" is. Many who claim that label believe the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The excitement over DeSantis encapsulates this perfectly. It's easy to see why conservatives love him: he's smart, disciplined, shrewd, young, was right on COVID, defies media pressure. But on policy, he's standard GOP. I'm sure many Republicans want that, but that's not "MAGA." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just go look at what Trump said in 2016 about social spending, tax cuts, foreign policy, benefits for the working class. Little of it happened because he surrounded himself with Reagan/Bush Republicans. They'll use MAGA as a pose, a vibe, but they're Pompeo/Kushner on policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One pivotal moment for this was when Jared Kushner won his power struggle over Steve Bannon. Kushner is pure Chamber of Commerce on domestic policy and neocon on foreign policy. So many like him cynically grabbed the "MAGA" label while continuing Bush/Cheney orthodoxy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's so little clarity on MAGA policy because Trump's winning 2016 campaign rhetoric often bore little resemblance to what his Administration did. It was filled with old-school GOPs of the type he denounced, who flattered him and thus got their way: The Mike Pompeo Syndrome. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I hope everyone reads this column👇. The main problem is utter doctrinal confusion about what "MAGA" even means. So many who claim this label agree on almost nothing beyond hating the media and the excesses of woke culture. Valid causes, but only a fraction of what matters. — PolitiTweet.org
