Fixating on Hunter Biden's life - his sex and drug use - is not only wrong in itself but will backfire. What matters is a) who created the lie that reporting about his father was "Russian disinformation" and b) whether the Bidens corruptly pursued profit in China and Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

The reason it's been regarded as a very bad idea to go to war against nuclear-armed countries is they have nukes in part to deter but in part to use them if they feel existentially threatened. For whatever reason, when it comes to Russia, people seem content to ignore this risk: — PolitiTweet.org

@SimonLindkr It's not a "take." It's about how I live my life. That's the difference between me and you. You try to show your virtues with hashtags, tweets and takes. I rely on the actions I take in my life to do that. — PolitiTweet.org

@arostilis That's true. Once a child reaches 5 of 6, the chances they will ever be adopted decreases radically. Healthy newborns are pretty easily adopted. But the vast majority of cases are somehow older kids whose parents died or became incapable of/unwilling to raise them. — PolitiTweet.org

For reason I've explained, I've always thought classified-doc crimes were insanely over-prosecuted and melodramatized. An under-appreciated aspect of DC's corrupt is how they abuse secrecy power by classifying everything. But we're only supposed to have one set of laws for all. https://t.co/D4wgPNrTKC — PolitiTweet.org

Even though nothing is more predictable, it's still kind of stunning to watch CNN invent new jargon, and invite on "experts," to tell the country that it's totally common for classified information to be casually tossed all over town and hidden in garages. No big deal at all: — PolitiTweet.org

@Tsavkko @claudioffarias @NPTO Todos os poderes que não só eu mas muitos estão criticando nas mãos de Moraes já estão sendo usados há 2 anos, e alguns que deveriam expirar quando a eleição acabasse. Como ele ainda pode usar essa lei eleitoral? A questão é que todos esses poderes são anteriores a 8 de janeiro. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@arostilis Well, apparently, there aren't enough blessed and sacred straight couples willing to adopt - as evidenced by the millions of kids in orphanages and shelters - so the only real options are: a) let them linger there until 18 or b) adoption by people you regard as imperfect. — PolitiTweet.org

@Tsavkko @claudioffarias @NPTO Falo isso tb: mesmo que alguns acreditem que o país está em uma situação tão grave e ameaçadora que precisamos poderes radicais, ainda precisa espaço para alguns questionarem se esses poderes são excessivos ou sendo abusados. Um clima que não permite dissensão nunca produziu bem. — PolitiTweet.org

@dockofashton Sometimes parents die for reasons that aren't about societal problems. Sometimes they abandon their kids. But yes, we should fix the problems that cause kids to end up in shelters. While we're working toward this nirvana, there are millions of kids in need of families. — PolitiTweet.org

@Tsavkko @claudioffarias @NPTO Eu tb teria preferido mais para troca. Por isso joguei fora o que tinha preparado - o que levaria 15 minutos para colocar, e limitei a 7/8 mins. Mas aí Patrícia/Celso defendeu a visão adversária por 17 mins sem parar, então ficou assim. Foi 100% justo, só não houve muitas trocas. — PolitiTweet.org

@nao__perguntei Em 2017, um apoiador de esquerda de Bernie Sanders e fã de Rachel Maddow atirou em 4 pessoas e tentou assassinar um congressista republicano. Na Holanda, um esquerdista assassinou um político gay em nome da esquerda. Como vc tem camaradas de esquerda, esses são sua culpa. — PolitiTweet.org

@A_Sober_Drunk @mtaibbi Perhaps your belief that all men are walking around constantly stalking children to have sex with them says a lot about you but not very much about men generally? Also, does this mean you'd ban straight couples from adopting due to fear the man is a pedophile? — PolitiTweet.org

@doug_mi @mtaibbi Kids who get adopted aren't ones who have emotionally distant parents. They have no parents at all, usually because their parents died or because one died and the other didn't want to or couldn't raise them. So the choice is a) orphanage until 18, then expulsion or b) adoption. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Brazil, there are 60,000 children in orphanages. For many, their parents died. Others had straight parents unwilling or unable to care for them. It takes a twisted mind to say it's better to let them linger forever than be adopted into a loving home: https://t.co/FdcVP6cGfn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JariaxG This is false. There are 60,000 kids in shelters in Brazil alone. Yes, it's true that if you want what many regard as the perfect baby - a white, healthy newborn - you'll wait. But it's also a tragedy when a child who is 4 or 7 or 9 has no family and parents and likely never will — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And one last point: I haven't looked at the statistics in awhile because I haven't written about it in a long time, but a huge percentage of molestations are committed straight men, often disproportionately so. This is the only honest conclusion: https://t.co/O11cKwqzqE — PolitiTweet.org

I thought "What is a Woman?" was a worthwhile film for the reasons @mtaibbi said, but it is true that those *obsessed with trans issues* are so because of some underlying pathologies. Anyone who presumptively assumes men are pedophiles has some serious issues to work out. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Beyond that, there are millions of children all over the world lingering in orphanages and shelters, often because their sacred straight parents didn't want to raise them. If you're rich and never adopted any of them and gave them a home, shut the fuck up about those who do. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Not only is this a morally fucked-up and twisted accusation, it also makes no logical sense even on its own histrionic terms. If adult men are presumptively pedophiles, then straight couples should be barred from adopting as well. Only lesbians are OK, as @kittypurrzog said. — PolitiTweet.org

@NPTO @folha A internet sempre cai na pior hora! Mas como sua oferta original era debater em inglês, adoraria tê-lo em nosso estúdio no Rio para fazer um debate para o público fora do Brasil. E assim não teremos que nos preocupar com o internet. Obrigado pelo debate civil, mas espirituoso! — PolitiTweet.org

@FernandoDSantos @SystemUpdate_ @mtracey You sound like Dick Cheney in 2002. Everything was justified because the US was under attack from The Terrorists. Whoever questioned government powers was "on the side of the Terrorists" or sympathetic to Al Qaeda. Do you realize you have the same mentality? — PolitiTweet.org

@jkntz78 @NPTO @folha I've been heavily involved in the last couple of weeks regarding a debate in Brazil about a censorship regime that lacks due process, and we did reporting on a new censorship order on Friday. That's the reason. Usually, 80-90% of my tweets are in English. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rossanodr @alexdmaraujo @Gama_o_Gama @folha @NPTO @camposmello Eu estava falando sobre o discurso geral da esquerda desde que esse debate começou e relatamos sobre a nova ordem de censura, não como vc lidou pessoalmente. E abordei na Folha a ideia absurda de que "liberdade de expressão" é uma ideia fascista. Todo estado fascista usa censura. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For tonight's @SystemUpdate_ - starting in 15 minutes - I'll update our reporting on Brazil's censorship regime, with observations on the debate I just did about it. Then, we'll speak with @mtracey about Ukraine, TikTok, a UK political conflict and more: https://t.co/yywEVYYzrU — PolitiTweet.org

@marcelonoah @NPTO Não sei se já participou de um debate complexo que não fosse na sua primeira língua, mas usei meu laptop só pra traduzir termos técnicos. Celso é um amigo - escreveu o prefácio do meu livro - e todos acharam o debate civilizado. Vc está com raiva por eu ter criticado o novo Moro. — PolitiTweet.org
