Durante a reportagem de Snowden, Jô Soares convidou a mim e ao David. Ele havia lido meu livro sobre tudo o que enfrentamos. Ele esvaziou o estúdio porque queria uma conversa séria sobre a reportagem. Foi uma das melhores entrevistas que fiz sobre espionagem da NSA. #RIPJoSoares https://t.co/zNrsHrOd2m — PolitiTweet.org

The primary purpose of isolating Trump as an unprecedented, singular evil is to allow the war criminals, corrupt scumbags and lawless and sociopathic monsters who preceded him to find absolution and redemption with the cheap tactic of opposing Trump. This one tweet shows it all: https://t.co/mX6WM8opDv — PolitiTweet.org

I'm firmly against holding someone responsible for the crimes and bad acts of their father or other relatives. But Liz Cheney was a vehement and unyielding supporter of everything her father did - the worst of the worst - and continues to defend those policies through to today. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It was a widespread consensus of liberals from 2001-2008 that Dick Cheney wasn't just misguided or politically wrong, but was a tyrannical monster, a war criminal and deeply corrupt goon (Halliburton). Do they ever ask themselves why he now harbors so much contempt for Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

By whatever metric one uses -- civil liberties assaults, attacks on the rule of law, support for savage tyrants, sheer death and destruction -- nothing compares to what was done via bipartisan neoconservatism during the first decade of the War on Terror: https://t.co/Kfd9E0fuqT — PolitiTweet.org

Replace the phrase "just as destructive as" with "infinitely worse than" and this sentence will become accurate: — PolitiTweet.org

At 5 pm ET today, for the weekly @GetCallin show I co-host with @AWindwardMaroon, we'll be discussing Pelosi's trip to Taiwan and its fallout, who (if anyone) benefited, further NATO expansion, and Africa's relationship with Russia and the war in Ukraine: https://t.co/UkaNh1SGwS — PolitiTweet.org

One of the things that made me fall in love with Brazil is that it is, shall we say, less than perfect with organization and structure. It's the anti-Germany. Yet Brazil - with a huge population - counts all votes within hours of polls closing: https://t.co/gQ7cwPrtrI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In dozens of countries, of all types, all over the world, elections are held and the full and accurate vote total is released that night, within hours of polls closing. That the US - as a rule - can't manage to count votes and announce winners for days or weeks is lunacy. — PolitiTweet.org

@SamAdlerBell The original headline or sub-headline, as I recall, was "Arizona just chose a Senate candidate more extreme than Trump." You can still see that in the Google search. It seems they changed it at some point. (Not exactly sure what they did but you can see it here): https://t.co/U5nCOD0xtn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell Many have written about Masters -- either jointly with Vance or alone -- because of the view he's part of this new Thiel movement in the GOP. But it seems extremely clear - not really in doubt - that the NYT published and framed it to be a day-after "scarier than Trump" piece. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell I'm sure you didn't whip it up in one day. But of course the NYT timed the publication for the day after the Arizona primary. I don't think that's some scandal: it makes journalistic sense that a paper would run a Blake Masters article the day after he becomes the nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell I think you accurately summarized Yarvin's views. I was merely asking people whether they regard *those specific views in that paragraph* as scary, false or right-wing because, as I made clear in subsequent tweets, I don't regard those specific views as being any of those things. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamAdlerBell I don't see the criticism of you, Sam. The NYT framed your article as: Masters "more extreme than Trump." I asked if *the specific beliefs you highlighted* in that paragraph of Yarvin's are scary, false or right-wing -- not whether Masters or Yarvin in general are. https://t.co/Od4Xi2NiMo — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DamonLinker Yeah, that's not even remotely what I asked. I didn't ask if Yarvin is right-wing. I asked whether the specific views highlighted in *that paragraph* are scary, false or right-wing. The issue is that for a tribalistic media, you can't analyze issues -- only friends and enemies. https://t.co/HUuQ82LGpm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeDouglasSC @ChristinaPushaw @SarcasticCupcak Of all the absurdities of heralding Liz Cheney as some Beacon of Noble Principle, that's the most absurd. Trump explicitly ran against the Bush/Cheney foreign policy in 2016, enraging the Bush and Cheney families and their acolytes. This is petty dynastic vengeance, not principle — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChristinaPushaw @SarcasticCupcak They had to rehabilitate Cheney not just because they revere Liz (who not only supported all of Cheney's most "controversial" policies but defends them to this very day), but more so because their key allies and colleagues are Bush/Cheney operatives, whom they once called Nazis. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mdrayton @senatorwario @StevenJDuffield Liberal and left-wing bloggers and journalists around then know that my blog had almost no purpose other than to document and denounce the War on Terror crimes of Bush/Cheney. It's pretty much all I did for 3 years. Libs and Dems are why I built an audience. They all know this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Tullycast You're thinking of Joe Biden, who was the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in 2002 and voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq, as did Senators Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, based on WMD. I had no position in politics or journalism and said nothing on the topic. — PolitiTweet.org

@aaronjmate Or some sort of cabinet position in the Biden administration. I should have said "the end of career as an elected official" though you're right that if she moves to a blue state, or runs for national office as a Dem, she definitely has a great chance to win. — PolitiTweet.org

August 16 is the day Wyoming holds its primary, and if polling data holds up, it will be one of the saddest nights for American liberals in many months if not longer. It is likely to mark the end of the political career of Mother Jones' Hero of 2021. https://t.co/jI1AzIMP6X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jessecrall One of my primary critiques of the Dem Party and US liberals - voiced again an hour ago - is that they are aligned and allied with neocons, the worst monsters in politics, and few groups hate and attack me more than neocons, so I must not be running great interference for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@senatorwario @StevenJDuffield How weird, then, that one of the very first articles about politics I ever published was one accusing Bush and Cheney of classic tyranny, and my first book - published 6 months later -- argued they should be prosecuted for War on Terror crimes. https://t.co/ExEQiAsDTT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jessecrall So you got caught in an outright lie -- claiming I no longer denounce anti-BDS laws enacted by red state governors -- and now that you know it's a lie, you can't admit it because you lack integrity, so shift to cheap guilty-by-association slogans from Sarah Palin ("pal around"). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SunnyDayCBay @tcpoasting You got caught in an outright lie and lack the integrity to admit it. That I didn't run the Intercept became pretty obvious when they refused to run my own article and I quit over it. It's pretty demeaning to call a news outlet with 70 reporters and editors my "vanity project." — PolitiTweet.org

@besties2387 @JumpinJackz There's a large group of people with brains capable of processing ideas longer than single tweets, which is why I've always had a large audience consuming what I write. So the tweets are for people like you, and the Substack elaborations and speeches for those more capable. — PolitiTweet.org
