@ScotsJR @ConnorWRoseYork @Tobias_Ellwood Ukrainian mean between the ages of 18 and 60 have been legally barred from leaving the country -- kept there by force -- since the start of the war. Ukraine is using an army of conscripts, not volunteers, to fight and die: https://t.co/5MoPdiH5wB — PolitiTweet.org

@ConnorWRoseYork @ScotsJR @Tobias_Ellwood However many provinces you believe are at stake, you apparently aren't prepared to fight and die for this cause given Zelensky begged people like you to go and you ignored it. Huge numbers of Ukrainian men are forced against their will to fight and die because of your refusal. — PolitiTweet.org

@RSDerek7 @shagtiki Might have something to do with the Pulitzer and the Polk and the Esso and things like this?👇 Mocking a powerful politician doesn't disqualify someone from being a journalist even if she's your imaginary friend. https://t.co/XN6p3vk3dx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ScotsJR @Tobias_Ellwood Are you ready to go fight and die in Ukraine to ensure that Kiev rather than Moscow rules Donbas, or that it doesn't win its independence after a referendum? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@reedjolson Yes, that was back when I was incredibly reverent to powerful and influential politicians and would never have dared to speak irreverently or mockingly about them. What happened to you, dude? You used to treat members of Congress with the respect they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

@yeah_sure_thing You're here to say that I do anything and say anything for money? 🤑🤑🤑 For some bizarre reason, every critique of DNC-loyal "leftists" perfectly adopts the oldest and most toxic tropes. Probably a huge coincidence. — PolitiTweet.org

The world will be better off when the British finally just accept their weakness and smallness instead of endlessly engaging in these deranged compensatory fantasies where they're all Churchill leading an empire into glorious war. "Our army is too small," says @Tobias_Ellwood. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SocialistMMA Could be that, or fear. Like nobody around her had the courage to say: "um, it's not really a good idea for you to just suddenly adopt this manner of speech out of nowhere. It could be a bit cringe if not, you know, maybe a tad offensive to some". — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shagtiki Totally. I confess to watching and enjoying it several times over the course of two days. It's one of those videos where, each time you watch, you notice a new hilarious part. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SocialistMMA It's similar to the dynamic between the left and Dems: once the left makes it clear they will support Dems unconditionally, of course Dems won't care what the Left wants. Some dynamic between AOC and her fans. She knows they'll follow her no matter what https://t.co/mkpL5LIl4Q — PolitiTweet.org

It's a day later and I'm still kind of amazed that AOC woke up and decided out of the blue to speak this way.😬 — PolitiTweet.org

@aaronjmate @im_PULSE How do the people with no journalistic accomplishments convince themselves they can sit in judgment of those who have many, and dictate who does and doesn't merit the "journalist" label, denying it to all those who broke major stories while preserving it for those who broke none? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SocialistMMA That's the reason the entire Dem caucus -- including those who openly hate the Squad, like Hakeem Jeffries -- fought to keep them on Committees. Everyone now knows the Squad is harmless to DNC interests and is always well-behaved and in line. It's like having Joe Crowley there. — PolitiTweet.org

@Rondo2 Totally agree. Russiagate came from the CIA and FBI. For them it was purposeful. But a lot of people in media who are fed by the US Security State are mid-wits and have no capacity to understand when they're being used to spread lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Because conspiracy theorists are immune to contradictory evidence. Trump repeatedly attacked and subverted the most vital Russian interests. For anyone sane, that ended the "Russian asset" conspiracy theory. Instead, they said: he's just doing it to throw us off the trail. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Note how the same chronic liars always end up rising in media. David Frum was easily one of the key officials in the Bush WH spreading Iraq lies in 2002. One of the media's key figure doing that was @JeffreyGoldberg, then at The @NewYorker. Now they're together at @TheAtlantic. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

No need to point out that the tweet is full of lies since it's a David Frum tweet, so it's true by definition. But this -- "In office, Trump supported Russian policy goals" -- is the exact opposite of reality. Trump repeatedly attacked Moscow's most vital interests:👇👇 https://t.co/0stPivpMDS — PolitiTweet.org

A key spokesman and architect of the prior generation's worst hoax (Iraqi WMDs and a Saddam/Al-Qaeda alliance) rises to defend this generation's most pathetic hoax (Trump and the Kremlin conspired, Putin controlled Trump, etc.) Always the same people, doing the same things: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheFaulkLine @wertman Half of Dem Senators (Biden, Hillary, Schumer) voted for the war and half of Dem voters supported it. Their favorite outlets - NYT, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, WPost - were all behind it and ratified the lies. NYT apologized for this and WPost's media critic blamed the paper. https://t.co/xadSGWnLa3 — PolitiTweet.org

@Nathan_Bell10 @SBF_FTX I had access to the traffic metrics for the entire 7 years I was there and after. It was always disgraceful how, outside of a handful of writers, nobody read any of their articles and nobody cared about trying to change that. They knew they had a billionaire feeding it all. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Nathan_Bell10 @SBF_FTX *Very few* read those articles you're venerating as Important Reporting. Good journalism, by definition, makes an impact. Billionaire funding at TI fostered an NGO culture of largesse where people got big salaries, so didn't care they had no readers. They think they're artists. — PolitiTweet.org
