Has the House stripped @RepAdamSchiff and @RepSwalwell of all their Committee assignments yet for serial lying and intelligence risks? — PolitiTweet.org

@elonmusk The fraudulent Russiagate narrative became the first of many crises and alleged crises -- Trump's election, the "Insurrection," the COVID pandemic, the war in Ukraine -- that was exploited to justify more and more political censorship on social media. — PolitiTweet.org

The findings from the survey itself are even more striking. It only took 6 years for "data" to prove the obvious: in an election where oligarchs spend trillions; CIA/FBI/DHS are involved; major media corporations are doing everything possible, a few Twitter bots are irrelevant. https://t.co/YIo8n7pf0F — PolitiTweet.org

😂😂😂 You don't say. Russiagate was - and is - one of the most deranged and unhinged conspiracy theories in modern times. It wasn't spread by QAnon or 4Chan users but the vast majority of media corporations, "scholars," think tank frauds, and NYT/NBC's "disinformation units": — PolitiTweet.org

@tomselliott I did this video on it. I'm going to talk more about it. The problem is how does one analyze an absence of evidence? Bolsonaristas did extremely well in the elections: biggest party in both the House and Senate, key Governorships, etc. https://t.co/4LQYSmteGR — PolitiTweet.org

@RobsonoreC OK, eu aprecio e aceito suas desculpas.👍 Mas as preocupações com o poder judicial excessivo eram populares entre a esquerda brasileira - é #VazaJato - e você pode discordar das opiniões da liberdade de expressão sem pensar que é fascista ou "defender fascismo." — PolitiTweet.org

Also, lots of US media commentators seem to believe that no angry protesters ever stormed government buildings, or believed their elections were the by-product of fraud, until January 6, and therefore this could only come from the US. Such self-centered, ahistorical dreck. — PolitiTweet.org

@hendrick2018 You're distorting my argument. I said that American conservatives who have so definitively concluded that the Brazil election was determined by fraud should examine their evidentiary basis for that, and not simply believe it because Steve Bannon told them that. — PolitiTweet.org

@MW207a @FlavioDino I listened to Dino's press conference with my own ears. He avoided anything inflammatory (such as accusing Bolsonaro of legal responsibility) and the government avoided using the GLO. What did he do that you found so wrong? Deployed the police? Every government would. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'd give both Lula and his Justice Minister, @FlavioDino, very high marks yesterday for their thus-far calm and reasoned reaction. They didn't resort to the parts of the military used for what Lula called "a last resort." The police cleared the buildings with no fatalities. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So far today: - 1,200 arrested in connection with the attacks - Reports of 1 officer injured, no deaths - Widespread property destruction inside each building - Lula's Justice Minister said Bolsonaro is politically responsible, no evidence yet about legal responsibility — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As part of that report, we also explained why the Supreme Court -- which yesterday had become one of the primary targets of Bolsonaro supporters -- had become such a source of rage. Yesterday, one SupCt judge removed the Governor of the federal district: https://t.co/tARiZiXNvd — PolitiTweet.org

@NMcity2country You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Where does all this vast, intricate knowledge you claim about Brazil come from? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We also reviewed the realities of the two terms that Lula already served as President -- from 2002-2010 -- to address the equally widespread claim that Lula is a "Communist" and will "turn Brazil into Venezuela": https://t.co/E2UrQohZts — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We're going to cover all aspects of the events in Brazil yesterday on our @SystemUpdate_ program tonight, live at 7pm ET. Ten days ago, we addressed the widespread belief among US conservatives -- that came from Steve Bannon -- that Lula won by fraud: https://t.co/4LQYSmsGRj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the questions is extent of the involvement of political and security officials in the Federal District. Lula's office itself couldn't be reached because of special security doors, but here is destruction of his cabinet area in presidential palace: https://t.co/ggkSKcLnKh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Brazilian authorities have secured control of all government buildings. At least 170 people are arrested, though that number is certain to rise. No reports of deaths, but widespread property destruction inside Supreme Court and Presidential Palace. https://t.co/n4u5rQHEKc — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Lula now giving a nationally televised press conference about the invasions of the three branches of government in Brasília, calling them "fascists," warning that "all with pay under force of law," announced he signed a decree ordering federal forces to restore order. https://t.co/GpKNGiFAkw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Remember that Jair Bolsonaro himself left Brazil on the last day of his presidency for the US, where he is living in the house of an ex-MMA fighter in Orlando. He has yet to comment on these events one way or the other: has commented on very little since the election. https://t.co/v7k17W0ApQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Also now images and reports that protesters have -- in addition to entering the Congress -- also broke doors and windows to enter the Supreme Court building (a major source of anger for Bolsonaro supporters) as well as the presidential palace. https://t.co/RYpFCh3Mgb — PolitiTweet.org

@frankbumb What the fuck are you talking about? What "hypocrisy?" I'm objectively describing events in Brasília exactly as I did in the US. Again, that you hear "Brazil" and instantly think "Glenn Greenwald" is seriously warped - flattering but in a sick way - but there's no inconsistency. — PolitiTweet.org
