For those asking: Pompeo has always been and remains a completely traditional Bush-era GOP warmonger, hawk and militarist. He was the main force behind Assange's prosecution. He's clever, and was good at flattering Trump, but his ideology is rotted: https://t.co/QPRYKhP8dt — PolitiTweet.org

(The two worst, most destructive frauds in the Trump administration, the ones who did the most to subvert the potential to disrupt long-standing DC orthodoxies, were Jared Kushner and Mike Pompeo. Trump empowered them and thus bares blame, but those 2 were the most destructive). — PolitiTweet.org

In case you missed it, here was Venezuela's "Interim President Juan Guaido" being greeted by his peoples who adore him, at a restaurant in San Carlos yesterday (Guaido claims these were loyalists to Chavez/Maduro). Maybe this isn't for the US to decide? https://t.co/VtC7jOk7P9 — PolitiTweet.org

The power of the US to impose "presidents" on other countries who have never received a single vote isn't necessarily fully over, but it's rapidly waning. The "interim President of Bolivia" cheered by Mike Pompeo after the 2019 coup is now here: https://t.co/AbIFhv7jFv — PolitiTweet.org

LOL. They're still doing the thing about "President Juan Guaido." When they traveled to Caracas to beg the Venezuelans to sell more oil despite the suffocating US sanctions, they for some reason pleaded with someone named "Nicolas Maduro" rather than President Guaido. — PolitiTweet.org

@DK1990DK @davidmirandario He's our nephew we've been raising since he's 11 due to his difficult family situation at home, and is now being formally adopted as what he's in fact been for years: our son. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@iamdenio @davidmirandario He had the opportunity to meet my kids the last time I was in his studio during a family trip to Florida and it was a lot of fun for everyone. We've spent many hours talking about marriage, kids and family. So there's no need to wonder. https://t.co/zDnPjzlN8b — PolitiTweet.org

O vídeo abaixo, quando a adoção de nossos dois meninos foi finalizada, é o dia mais feliz e importante da minha vida. Que todas as pessoas – incluindo crianças gays – saibam que uma vida familiar plena, completa e saudável é possível para todos. https://t.co/nXIHiIGFtH — PolitiTweet.org

Feliz Dia dos Namorados ao meu marido, melhor amigo e alma gêmea de 17 anos, @DavidMirandaRio. A linda família que construímos, os 3 filhos incríveis que estamos criando, e como nosso amor sempre se torna mais profundo é a âncora da minha vida. Nada e ninguém pode desmerecê-lo.♥️ https://t.co/bf4J6NFKdM — PolitiTweet.org

@nita_alexandr Factory farms are the opposite of family farms -- a perversion of family farms. Whatever one's views on the ethics of killing animals for food, industrial agriculture imposes unprecedentedly cruel, unnatural torture on billions of animals, producing health threats in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The way wars are sustained is by ensuring the population never sees the carnage and visceral destruction of it (we only see that from our adversaries' wars). That's the same way support for industrial agriculture is maintained: censoring the hideous torture of sentient animals: — PolitiTweet.org

In her NYT column today, @Maureendowd says everywhere you look, you see monstrous acts. One example: PGA golfers playing on a Saudi-financed tour -- but no mention that it's the US & UK Governments that prop up that regime with money, weapons and intel. https://t.co/ZfWxDa2FEe https://t.co/kcJWn4mzBs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Watching Biden escalate the decades-long love affair between Washington and the murderous despots in Riyadh should forever dispel these myths, and prove the actual motives that drive the US role in the world, both generally and in the war in Ukraine. https://t.co/UDCOhIn41O — PolitiTweet.org

What cogent moral defense is there for buying more Saudi oil to avoid Russian oil? How is it remotely sensible to exclude oil-rich Venezuela from a regional conference while hugging the Saudis, Egyptians and Emiratis? Why isn't it preferable to drill in the US than buy Saudi oil? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This cognitive dissonance – the US/UK claiming to fight wars to protect democracy and fight despotism, while they simultaneously embrace and partner with the world's worst tyrants – only works in the Western press. The rest of the world scornfully laughs at this fairy tale. https://t.co/cxtxdcIpVx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Few presidents were as devoted to strengthening Saudi tyranny as Obama. He lavished them with weapons and intelligence technology to destroy Yemen, and monitor and crush internal dissent. Yet the media barely batted an eye when he sermonized about freedom and fighting tyranny. https://t.co/sgSV7iWJS1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Trump's most vehement critics were Biden and Harris, who vowed to make Saudis "pariahs." Biden immediately abandoned that pledge, increased support for the Riyadh despots, and will now travel on his knees to them. The US/Saudi partnership shows the core deceit of U.S. propaganda. https://t.co/im7YlIRDul — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Trump reaffirmed the decades-old US/Saudi partnership, official DC feigned indignation, as if he had pioneered some novel, aberrational evil: vandalizing American values! Trump's real sin was candor: admitting the US always partners with despots when it produces benefits. https://t.co/59LlWjTJuP — PolitiTweet.org

Stella is one of the most eloquent, knowledgeable and forceful advocates of the core press freedom rights endangered by her husband's prosecution, and spoke powerfully about the personal difficulties of Assange's fourth year in a UK prison. In English, with Portuguese subtitles. — PolitiTweet.org

For Press Freedom Day in Brazil, @DavidMirandaRio interviewed human rights lawyer Stella Assange, wife of Julian, about the current state of the extradition, what people around the world can to to object, and the personal toll on the Assange family: https://t.co/s8puMIPBfm — PolitiTweet.org

@FaithRubPol 🙏 What reasons do you is motivating the Biden DOJ in its failure to prosecute me? Does this make you wonder whose side they might be on? — PolitiTweet.org

@FaithRubPol It's good to see a patriotic citizen doing his duty. Thank you for not only notifying the FBI about why I did but also Bill Kristol. It's vital that he know.🇺🇸 https://t.co/GaWs9tll0T — PolitiTweet.org

@FaithRubPol Please don't tell Liz Cheney or Adam Schiff that I did this. — PolitiTweet.org

@bigbrainguy No, I don't believe in this blame standard. I find it noxious and unfair, for reasons I've explained many times. I therefore don't apply it in any case. I'm wondering how those who do defend this blame framework decide when it does and does not apply. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It reminds me of that time when a fanatical follower of Rachel Maddow tried to kill a bunch of GOP members of Congress at a softball field based on his belief that they were Russian assets and traitors. There, too, this blame standard wasn't invoked. It's confounding.🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/60IhFhMLK6 — PolitiTweet.org
