@Turbosloth3 LOL. Come on: https://t.co/ZGwHtDGWKn — PolitiTweet.org

@mdrayton @citizenairpod @ZaidJilani They definitely control the WH and executive branch. That must mean something given that billions are spent each election on that and liberals claim that the fate of the world depends on Dems winning. I think Dem "failures" are more about lack of will than lack of power. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MBusching The claim was that Sheldon Adelson used his massive wealth to force Republican politicians to be more pro-Israel, more subservient to Israel, to win his support. That happened to be true, but that's at least as much of an anti-Semitic trope as anything said about Soros. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani Yes, of course. But accusations of anti-Semitism should require more care than the standard, run-of-the-mill partisan hypocrisy, and it's particularly odd watching people like @MattDuss exploit anti-Semitism accusations when he freely fixated on Sheldon Adelson's power and wealth — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To be clear, I think it's not only appropriate but necessary to focus on any billionaires using their vast wealth to influence politics. But it's bizarre how the same people who fixated on the massive influence of Adelson in GOP politics claim it's anti-Semitic to speak of Soros — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Why is it deemed anti-Semitic to speak about the very substantial political influence George Soros wields in liberal circles with his billions, but it wasn't anti-Semitic to speak about the very substantial political influence wielded by Sheldon Adelson with his billions? https://t.co/pfm78j9jBI — PolitiTweet.org

@KostjaMarschke @pmauricea The Russian science programs -- on biological weapons and everything else -- are vastly ahead of Ukraine's. The only way Ukrainian labs could be "dangerous" by falling into Russia's hands - which is what Nuland said - is if the US is heavily involved in what is being done there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DogOnTheRoof @pmauricea Hillary, as a Senator, said Saddam had WMDs and was in an alliance with Al Qaeda. She also said Russia had seized control of the levers of US power through clandestine blackmail control over the President. Those deranged conspiracy theories were far more harmful and destructive. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HerderGreg You're a liberal lurking in my replies with insults and anger, so you've apparently been able to sufficiently discern what my beliefs are about your ideology, political faction and worldview. That's why you're here. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @pmauricea So you're saying that the bio research facilities in Ukraine that Victoria Nuland warned were so dangerous have the capacity to produce dangerous biological weapons, either because they developed it on their own or with US help? If I were Russia, that would be a concern to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RobertMCle @pmauricea Right, exactly. I prefer for there to be an excess of skepticism for establishment power than an excess of misplaced trust, especially given how well-deserved their loss of trust is. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FrostySumo @toronai22 @krystalball You follow fewer than 500 people on the planet, one of whom is me. Brazil's government attempted to imprison me for my reporting just two years ago, which resulted in Lula's being freed, so they seem to disagree with you. Fantasizing you speak for everyone is a mental illness. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Aaron is one of the best young journalists to arrive on the scene in the last several years. He has a politics and ideology that he doesn't hide - that's candor - but what drives his work is always classic reporting methods and meticulous attention to facts. Uniformly great work: — PolitiTweet.org

@PDXAccountabil1 @dangillmor @SamSeder Rumble was founded in 2013. Thiel became a minority investor in 2020. He has no control. Rumble is a small part of my income. Saying I work for Thiel is a total lie in multiple ways. And exactly: Palantir, like everyone, never bothered with Sam Seder because he's a harmless zero — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@de79dc @pmauricea The parts where he repeatedly admitted severe wrongdoing, apologized for them, and explained the emotional, psychological and intellectual flaws that caused them: exactly the sort of repentance and self-reflection Sam's ex-Comcast colleagues never did for their far worse crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@de79dc @pmauricea The discussion was started by Sam Seder, so the fact that he not only spoke to but shared a large corporate employer and cable network with the world's most barbaric and savage liars and warmongers -- while his small audience tries to judge me -- is notable, and amusing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PDXAccountabil1 @dangillmor @SamSeder I don't work for Peter Thiel. That's a moron lie invented by Dem-loyal "leftists" for consumption by very stupid and gullible leftists like you. But do you ever wonder why Palantir spied on me but never Sam Seder? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DogOnTheRoof @SexualPatriot @ruinedbytruth @SamSeder You've devoted your entire day to thinking about me, talking to me, writing to me, trying to get my attention. If you really believed I had no audience, that'd be bizarre. I don't go to my timeline to try send followers to like every reply discussion I'm in because I don't care. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@citizenairpod @ZaidJilani Democrats are the majority party in DC. They control both houses of Congress, the WH and the executive branch. Establishment liberalism is the dominant ideology of DC, media, academia, Hollywood, Wall St. Seems unsurprising it gets much attention. https://t.co/CykswBF1Iu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@de79dc @pmauricea You can assert that: it's meaningless. Sam shared a corporate employer (Comcast) with people - neocons, Security State operatives, Obama officials - whose evils are in a different universe than Jones': starting wars and murdering innocents. He never uttered a peep of protest. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dangillmor @SamSeder Had I gone to Austin to instead interview David Frum, Nicolle Wallace, John Brennan, Bill Kristol, Liz Cheney or any other neocon or security state goon with blood on their hands from starting wars, you wouldn't have uttered a peep. Many of them and Sam shared a common employer. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SexualPatriot @ruinedbytruth @SamSeder @DogOnTheRoof I'm extremely aware of the distinction between liberals and leftists (and Democrats) and often urge conservatives to be more mindful of it. I use the term "liberal-left" consciously, only when referring to an area or view where the two factions are aligned or converge. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmauricea No, what he did on Sandy Hook was reckless and destructive and he acknowledges that explicitly -- in ways far more repentant than people like Bill Kristol, John Brennan, Nicolle Wallace and David Frum have ever done despite having actual blood and wars on their hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani Like most liberal insults - fascist, racist, white nationalist, etc. - "grifting" doesn't really have a fixed or clear meaning. Its elasticity is what makes it useful to them. But I think "grifting" implies someone saying something they don't really believe due to profit motive. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And again, anyone during the Trump years exclusively or primarily motivated by money would have jumped on the anti-Trump train. The richest person on Substack is a #Resistance fanatic. The Lincoln Project/neocon types all got rich doing that. That's where "grifting" thrives. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals never accuse people who work for major media corporations such as CNN, NBC, the NYT or WP of being "grifters." It's a term reserved exclusively for independent journalists. because liberals are authoritarians who think legitimacy requires corporate control and approval. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lucicorice I'm evaluating the claimed beliefs of liberals and noting the obvious inconsistency between those claimed beliefs and their actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmauricea In other words: insane conspiracy theories (Saddam is in an alliance with bin Laden, the Kremlin has seized control of the US through sexual blackmail) are never disqualifying if their intent is to serve establishment power. It's only disqualifying when they question that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmauricea I'm not denying he was a 9/11 Truther. He was. But I'm fascinated that had I gone to Austin to interview Bill Kristol or John Brennan or scumbags who lied to start and maintain wars, nobody would've objected. Kristol is beloved by MSNBC. Shows their fucked-up moral framework. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@whiskey_noodle Correct. — PolitiTweet.org
