@hellphish89 Maybe. The US interests seems to be to prolong the war as much as possible in order to weaken or even destroy Russia to the point when it can foster regime change in Moscow. They're saying this aloud now. I agree the interests align for now. We'll see if they do long-term. — PolitiTweet.org

How do British subjects not ask themselves: how can we ban Russian players from Wimbledon without also demanding the world ban British athletes, given our government's destruction of Iraq, partnering with Saudis to destroy Yemen, and support for the worst despots on the planet?? https://t.co/Ma5EA0JkRH — PolitiTweet.org

This "we-fight-wars-for-freedom-and-democracy" propaganda only works on US corporate media and, for a time, on the US public. 16 out of the 20 most-populous countries either abstained or voted NO to kick Russia off the UN Human Rights Council. It's at least worth asking why. https://t.co/VsIRYUNMTB — PolitiTweet.org

The US, like every major power, doesn't do wars to help people. That's the propagandistic packaging for domestic pacifying. I never understood how the USG can get Americans to believe it fights for democracy while propping up the Saudis, Egyptian generals, and supporting coups. https://t.co/BMHJM3Suh8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I really wish people understood: it's only in the US and parts of Europe where USG propaganda -- about how we fight wars to benevolently save people and democracies -- works. Everywhere else, it provokes a laughing fit, especially in countries that have seen US power first-hand. https://t.co/sFVerOXrtU — PolitiTweet.org

@NickelDollar The tweet is bereft of ideological sentiment. — PolitiTweet.org

@JosephJaafari @LilianaSegura Last I heard, which was admittedly awhile ago, she didn't live in Manhattan, but even if you were right about that, it has literally no bearing on the point I'm making, which I'm starting to believe you indeed are too dumb to process despite its lack of complexity. — PolitiTweet.org

@_jaquelinerib @cirogomes Quem tem mais chance em 2022 do que Ciro pra chegar no segundo turno (além de Lula e Bolsonaro)? — PolitiTweet.org

@JosephJaafari Are you actually this dumb, or are you pretending on purpose not to understand the point I'm making? — PolitiTweet.org

@ReportATweet @JosephJaafari Their fake, performative outrage stems from the fact that they know it's they whom I'm referencing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NickelDollar What ideological sentiment, let alone one that I previously repudiated, do you believe you located in that tweet? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JosephJaafari Really good point: thoughtful and important. I don't make the rules: just observe and describe them. — PolitiTweet.org

Need to figure out the ideology and political leanings of the shooter before deciding if we care. — PolitiTweet.org

2 fatos estão claros há pelo menos um ano: 1) Será difícil para um candidato que não seja Lula e Bolsonaro chegar no segundo turno (“terceira via”). 2) O único candidato viável para isso é @CiroGomes. A mídia Globo/Veja, como sempre, protegeram sua fantasia religiosa do PSDB. — PolitiTweet.org

@mike__cunning @IdeaJedi420 I was raised by a single mother who worked at hourly-wage jobs such a McDonald's cashier. I grew up in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, in a multi-ethnic working-class neighborhood (that's the whole town). I went to public schools and college/law-schools on scholarships and loans. — PolitiTweet.org

@rolandsmartin @laralogan And that was from your least embarrassing scandal. Remember this? https://t.co/WOdEqZOi9X https://t.co/zjjLOK1fV6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rolandsmartin @laralogan I don't think you have any moral credibility to decree who who said things "to be deeply troubling," who of "y'all are a trip," etc. in light of your history of these sorts of charming utterances. Seems this weird internal rage never left you: https://t.co/qPZvTViKqK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@IdeaJedi420 I don't claim to. That's why I use polling data and allowing people to speak for themselves, as I just did. Despite growing up in a fully working-class neighborhood, I never purport to speak for anyone else, let alone people with different life circumstances than I have. — PolitiTweet.org

The gap between what Americans think, and what the national media who claims to speak on their behalf think, could not be wider.👇 https://t.co/PDDTWe1cdE — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's approval rating "dips" to its lowest level yet -- into the 30s -- because, as this poll shows, Americans of all stripes are suffering economically in all new ways. Yet when, as is likely, Dems get destroyed in November, they'll say it's because Americans are racists: — PolitiTweet.org

This NYT hit piece/formal-eviction-from-decent-society on Lara Logan is a master class in what happens when you deviate from liberal orthodoxy: Old colleagues: "she changed; so sad." The signs were always there. Allegations never previously voiced, etc: https://t.co/pXCVIa7IUr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The core purpose of Orwell's Ministry of Truth was to re-write history -- often to characterize as lies the very assertions that it recently described as Truths -- in order to advance the state's war aims. Amazing that these two paragraphs can be found in the same newspaper: https://t.co/pUl4zOdlqH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is this a good or a bad quality for a journalist? The NYT's entire article about Lara Logan assumes it is a bad quality. https://t.co/sbd5Qi6JyB — PolitiTweet.org

RT @redsteeze: This paragraph says infinitely more about you guys than it does about Logan. https://t.co/5IUqv57V1y — PolitiTweet.org

@carmodycourt I love when liberals implicitly decree that gay men can't care about wars, militarism, corporatism, civil liberties assaults or anything else. We just have to sit in our corner waiving the various fashionable new rainbow flags. Stick to our lane and vote DEM -- and Raytheon.🌈 https://t.co/9NWdXbxroq — PolitiTweet.org

By far the most revered hero -- practically a religious figure -- during the Trump years was George Bush's post-9/11 FBI Director, who invented radical theories to round up American Muslims and assured Congress the Iraqi WMD evidence was rock solid. Then it became Liz Cheney. https://t.co/Hq1ywzar9b — PolitiTweet.org
