@ZeeshanAleem @ryanlcooper I said liberals who attacked Trump in the name of "norms" now demand sweeping structural changes to the government. You claimed these were two completely different groups of people with no overlap. I showed you Ryan was in both groups, and you know this. It's OK to admit that. — PolitiTweet.org

@TomCokeIsABlunt @foodjinn You named yourself after me, all so that you could insult people on the internet without having to attach your name to what you say. I'd say you're literally the last person qualified to accuse others of cowardice or being a loser. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZeeshanAleem Yes, they are the same people. In this particular episode: the same exact person. I know you lack the integrity to admit you were wrong but I also know you're aware of it deep down and that refusing to admit it will hurt even more. https://t.co/gmYaHATNvE — PolitiTweet.org

@Travelingcircu Yes, he did -- repeatedly. https://t.co/qptPbg4oGn — PolitiTweet.org

@stahlscott @ZaidJilani The alliance between establishment liberals and and neocons is not remotely temporary, nor is it about mere political goals. The liberal/neocon alliance is fundamental and enduring because they share the same worldview, as I documented in this thread: https://t.co/Y4P1z9O1r4 — PolitiTweet.org

@Lefty_Barbarian Who was in favor of the NATO bombing of Libya and who opposed it? You know, that thing that left the country in complete shambles and engendered a return of ISIS and slavery. Where are the NO votes now against Biden's Ukraine war package coming from? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani @EricLevitz Democrats used the filibuster constantly and aggressively over the last decade to stop all sorts of GOP legislative initiatives. You can maybe find a few examples of liberal pundits advocating abolition then, but obviously nowhere near the levels as when Dems are in control. — PolitiTweet.org

When you actually look at the numbers for MSNBC and CNN, it's shocking. Their prime-time hosts barely have 100,000 people under 55 watching. CNN can barely get 500k total. Weekend shows on MSNBC will soon be counted by the dozens. It's an empty politics: as dreary as it is boring https://t.co/4BU9333tAI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Without Trump, liberal media personalities have no way to keep their rapidly dwindling flock sufficiently enraptured and excited -- Biden, Kamala and Pete don't quite do it -- so their already miniscule audience is shrinking back to barely-extant pre-Trump levels: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ZaidJilani It's the same way liberals want to empower Google and Facebook to censor political speech on the internet because, yesterday, the person who was silenced was someone they disliked. They can't reason in terms of principles or precedents, let alone mid-range strategic analysis. — PolitiTweet.org

@foodjinn This is called a "political cartoon." It was drawn by the Pulitzer-finalist cartoonist for the Detroit News. If he qualifies as a boomer, it's a very young one. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals spent the Trump years heralding themselves as defenders of "norms." Now they want to abolish the Senate, Electoral College, and judicial review. Judicial review is what enabled Griswold, Loving, Lawrence, Obergefell and Roe: all invalidated democratically enacted laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MasonTBecker @DougJBalloon Many around the world view NATO as a force for evil, as a result of the wreckage, instability and destruction it brought to them. But to know this, you'd have to talk to people other than Rachel Maddow fans, Atlantic readers, and people who think CNN is a great news network. — PolitiTweet.org

@MasonTBecker @DougJBalloon Leftists for NATO! (but only from a safe distance, sitting in Wisconsin feeling strong and patriotic), but never getting near the wars and dangers you want the US to pursue. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All this is why left-liberal media fixates on culture war issues (abortion/trans/guns) with so little time on foreign policy, militarism, CIA, US Security State. Culture war is one of the few places where old left/right fights apply, so it's the only place they feel comfortable. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A main attack on Obama from the GOP establishment militarism wing -- McCain/Graham/Jeb/Rubio -- was Obama was "soft" on Putin. Obviously, Dems mocked Romney for that in 2012. That the McCain/Rubio view is now how liberals think is why neocons find so much popularity among Dems. https://t.co/xqQ7DvymuW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's fascinating to read Obama -- and Antony Blinken's arguments -- against arming Ukraine. These comments were from 2015: after the Russians were backing separatists in E. Ukraine and after it annexed Crimea. If you say any of this now, Dems accuse you of treason. https://t.co/vvvvP7OrQ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The irony of Dems' new McCarthy identity -- accusing their critics of being Kremlin loyalists -- is nobody was more "soft" on Russia than Obama: refused to arm Ukraine, avoided confronting them over Syria, emphasized cooperation with Putin. But pre-Trump history doesn't exist. https://t.co/bzeXA2Wvrj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Before anyone thought Trump would run -- as early as 2014 -- neocons were openly talking about returning to the Dem Party. They thought Hillary would be president and know there'd be nobody more hawkish. All her criticisms of Obama were over insufficient militarism.👇 https://t.co/IKLyfMxjGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Neocons did not migrate back to and become fully embraced by Democrats solely or even principally due to horror over Trump. It was far more ideological and systemic than that. With the success of Ron Paul, then Trump, they perceived Dems, not the GOP, were their natural allies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is how an entire new generation of American liberals are trained to speak whenever anyone questions US foreign policy, hegemony, imperialism, NATO expansion, etc. That's why so few in left-liberal media even mention let alone debate CIA, NATO, etc. https://t.co/t79nm0ncGV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every time the US pledges to go to war for some new foreign country (NATO), the consequences are gigantic. Of course Americans should ask whether it's worth sending American kids to fight such wars. But it's regarded as treason, or being a Russian assert, even to question it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's close to zero discussion on the mainstream liberal-left about foreign policy, US Security State, NATO, imperialism: just doesn't exist. The entire Dem Party is united behind classic US militarism so there's nothing for them to say. The only dissent comes from the right: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Disgust over the moral perversity and cruelty of factory farms is now fully trans-ideological: both left and right and neither. Great Matthew Scully in @NRO, citing Catholic moral doctrine, on Biden DOJ's unity with the pork industry to strike down California's anti-cruelty law: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PatrickStrother It's a psychological and emotional reaction of self-protection, not a rational or reasoned one. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ichbinmandryka Getting on your knees and crawling to submit to the orders of the world's most powerful government isn't courage, but stupidity. Precisely because he knew that he was risking his liberty for his values is why he is more courageous than you would be if you lived to be 800. — PolitiTweet.org

@vlad_galer @Snowden Your brain is stuck in a Tom Clancy novel and a CIA-to-NYT conspiracy theory. https://t.co/dXZEXYyUGh — PolitiTweet.org

@theNewsfox I didn't mean to like it. I meant to like the one criticizing Boyle, as I've done for days. I instantly unliked Boyle's when I realized and liked the one above it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ichbinmandryka Who was he "running" from and why? What have you ever done in your life that remotely compares to what he did? You smear people online while too scared even to put your name on it. And he didn't chose Russia; Obama officials trapped him there. https://t.co/x1pePbAZBm — PolitiTweet.org
