@davidmweissman It's because the US likes tyranny and despotism -- and doesn't oppose it -- when that tyranny is used to suppress the population's wishes and serve US interests. They should just be honest about that, instead of having their media say they fight for democracy & against tyranny. — PolitiTweet.org

@NomikiKonst @scottjblair @Gonzalez4NY You're still sabotaging a DSA-backed Latina progressive -- backed by most of the institutional left -- and thus threatening to divide the left. Since you previously said Congress should investigate those who divide the left, you should call on Congress to investigate you. I do. https://t.co/7tfhSgsBye — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SamSeder How many other fascist white ladies do you have on your staff ready to sabotage a DSA-backed progressive Latina? Are you going to announce tomorrow that Emma is launching a primary challenge to AOC? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TrueNorthPolit1 Do you also believe that Congress should investigate those who divide the left, the way Nomiki is doing? What other white ladies do you want to sabotage DSA-backed progressive Latinas already running? How proud are you of your own racism? — PolitiTweet.org

@SamZHaut That's not the contradiction I'm referencing, making your point irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Mlake9E Yes, anyone literate does remember when I did that, you fucking drooling Democratic Party hack. https://t.co/mjgY0keBBT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I said, the childish propaganda from the US and UK that they defend democracy and fight tyranny only works on the US and British press. For the rest of the world -- especially the many countries whose democracy was destroyed by the US/UK -- it only produces fits of laughter. https://t.co/XHw2OE7i7T — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@stinkyb41647944 @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY That doesn't answer whether Nomiki is being funded by Putin or other foreign adversaries to divide the left. By her own primitive, McCarthyite reasoning, this Majority Report regular should be investigated by Congress. Join me in demanding this. — PolitiTweet.org

@Reluctant_Us3r I write for an audience of adults who can read words, not an audience of 4-year-olds whose brains can only process pictures. My articles aren't for people like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scottjblair @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY I'm sorry -- but not at all surprised -- that Majority Report fans think it's trivial that some white lady is parachuting into a race where a Latina progressive already has lined up leftist support, threatening to sabotage her candidacy out of narcissism and entitlement. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Reluctant_Us3r I wrote about Trump's relationship with the Saudis when he was president, as I just showed you. Now that the President is named Joe Biden (at least nominally), I focus on his relationship with the Saudis. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Reluctant_Us3r Yes, the one I wrote about here: https://t.co/mjgY0keBBT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why US/UK propaganda -- they fight to support freedom and democracy -- only works on their own media while the rest of the world cackles. Biden could hand MbS AK-15s while claiming the US hates despotism and the Western media would applaud and not see any contradiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

NYT: "Biden, who as a candidate vowed to make Saudi Arabia a 'pariah'... has decided to travel to Riyadh to rebuild relations with the oil-rich kingdom." How the Saudi tyranny's key supporters (US/UK) convince their populations they "support democracy" is an enduring mystery. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Biden Administration is openly planning to pay homage to one its closest allies -- one of the most despotic and murderous tyrants on the planet, the Saudi Crown Prince -- at the same time it convinces Americans its motive for fighting wars is to defend freedom and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Awkward. Maybe Congress should investigate @NomikiKonst to find out whether she has funding from the Kremlin or other US enemies given how blatantly she's dividing the left, trying to sabotage the DSA-backed daughter of an immigrant family, @Gonzalez4NY: https://t.co/G6JoTlX8Wl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Who doesn't love a McCarthyite fascist who explicitly advocates having Congress investigate her political enemies because she's angry they criticized her online? Seems like a perfect fit for the Dem Party and @majorityfm! Good luck to @SamSeder and his sidekick @NomikiKonst: https://t.co/0U2XxtCJLP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Speaking of unalterable facts that will never go away, this is one of the NYT's clearest statements yet about what was, far and away, the media's biggest story of Trump era, a vast conspiracy theory that resulted in *no charges *on that core claim: https://t.co/DsCytoFQ9H https://t.co/HK4PuXDW6v — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@htmlmencken @aaronjmate @mattduss @TheGrayzoneNews It's become so much clearer in retrospect how much of the liberal opposition to the Iraq War was due to its being led by the Bush and the GOP, given how many of those same people cheered every subsequent war policy by a Dem President based on the same rationale. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AdsMassey LOL. That's how the Vietnam War and the Iraq War were justified: 1964: We're just helping our South Vietnamese allies protect their democracy from aggressors. 2002: Leftists should show solidarity with oppressed Iraqis who want to be liberated from Saddam's tyranny. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Notice, too, GOP Senators who voted for Biden's $40b war package had to justify it. That's why Cruz, Romney, etc. posted videos: they know conservatives demand this. But other than Cori Bush, the Squad hasn't bothered to explain their YES vote: they know their followers submit. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@illinidiva12 @WilmerDAB2 I don't know if you're a pathological liar or just extremely ignorant, but Lula said from the start that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was a blatantly illegal act of aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@aaronjmate @mattduss @TheGrayzoneNews It's so bizarre that The New Republic was the place of choice for decades for warmongering scumbags and neocons like Marty Peretz and Jon Chait to malign the left as anti-American traitors for dissenting on US war policy, and now that's where Bernie's key adviser chose to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In 2018 -- 2 years after FBI concluded Trump/Alfa-Bank was a hoax, and even pro-Dem outlets like Vox, Intercept and WPost essentially said so -- the DNC dead-enders like @NatashaBertrand, @FranklinFoer & @chrislhayes kept spreading it, and got rewarded: https://t.co/tgR7IHc6j2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

No rantings by pro-DNC writers like Jon Chait and Charlie Savage can change the unalterable fact: the Trump/Alfa-Bank story was a fraud from the start. Even some liberal outlets said so and the FBI quickly concluded that, but the liberal journalists who kept spreading it thrived. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@janelasdedeus Yes, the entire world would be affected by the risk of a nuclear exchange between the countries with the two largest nuclear stockpiles, and is being affected by the prolonging of this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alexgoldstein87 You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Both my husband and I have endured months of relentless and personal attacks from petistas because he left his party and isn't supporting Lula. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The foreign policy ideology of the American Bernie/AOC/DNC "left" is far closer to that of David Frum and Hillary than it is Chomsky or Lula, which is why Bernie's foreign policy advisor, @mattduss, is in The New Republic advocating the former while bashing the latter. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Meanwhile, the foreign policy adviser of Bernie Sanders -- who joined every Dem in voting for BIden's $40b war package - continues the tradition of Dems going to the TNR to scold the left (he singles out Lula and Chomsky) for being insufficiently pro-war: https://t.co/Dfnzjs9lit — PolitiTweet.org
