Fuck Glenn Greenwald

That is all...

Expand full comment

i asked glenn questions about his ethical laxity with american racists, about russia's role in stirring up a racist backlash 2010-16, about his remarkable bitterness towards African-American progressives...

he sent me his resume.

impressive but he fundamentally misunderstands twitter. no one on twitter gives a shit about what you do in real life. for non-blue checked twitter, the platform's all theory, no praxis, all jokes, no content. all data, no context. IRL matters if you are accusing/accused of hypocrisy but i'm not claiming he's a hypocrite. i'm claiming he's trolling for racist cash on left wing cache.

Oh, they don't have to kill him. They just have to reveal that he is, in reality, a negative-net-worth grifter and not a respected business tycoon.

When this all comes out, my shock and surprise will be slight. Nonexistent, actually.

Trump, being a "real estate guy," will smile and congratulate Putin as he surrenders the keys of our home to it's new owner.

Trump already has those knee pads, and he's already used them to service Putler many times.

I've been sure that Trump was a Russian agent in Putin's pay since early in his campaign, as Trump kept kissing Putin's ass during his campaign. Trump is a lousy businessman, so I'm sure his assets were exceeded by his liabilities, and that Putin bailed him out.

We have always had the greatest respect and affection for the Russians and especially their leaders, after the Revolution Of 1917. Joe Stalin was the best.The Western Europeans on the other hand are filthy despicable commie ingrates and to tell the truth -- YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH so there.

The Big Dick Energy of Angela Merkel is without parallel.

Gotta join my fellow commentators -- not sure why Evan is being so mincing in his comment -- of course Putin and/or his oligarchs and/or both have a lot of dirt on Orange Julius Caesar -- otherwise the bowing and scraping he's been doing to Russia for the last two-three years wouldn't make any sense. And what they have to hold over him (even if it's only the billions that they've loaned him and his familiars) involves stuff that's a lot more serious than a pee tape.

Laughably, of course, tRump's supporters keep crowing about how he doesn't put furriners first . . . which is true, but only if those furriners were our (former) allies.

Well, they did claim he went on an "apology tour".
