defend the indefensible: glenn fucking greenwald

I “don’t get” Michael Tracey. like I have no idea what his point is. feels like he’s just Tim Pool for people who can read.

I am having problems getting past the colloquial meaning of "smash" while reading anvil's post

Didn't Michael Tracey lie about being assaulted by Maxine Waters?

I’m totally baffled by how Tracey gained prominence. Has he written anything worthwhile or interesting, or done anything notable besides post dumb contrarian takes on Twitter?

He was a TYT reporter for awhile

He gained notoriety after he was badly beaten by Maxine Waters.

His possibly self written Wikipedia article said he made like two different documentaries about Jon Benet Ramsey. Surprised if his entry hasn’t been challenged on “Notability” criteria.

MT started at vice i think, so i suspect the racist edgelord stuff was there from the start, and not just a subsequently canny clout-turn

the maxine waters thing was almost too dumb to be described as lying: he did indeed claim he'd been assaulted and stuck to the claim when video become available (immediately) showing that she'd brushed past (making very slight contact) when he was making a dick of himself "just asking the questions"

(iirc he was sacked by vice for doxxing someone, possibly l3na dunh4m? it was back when they were trying to clean up their act and raise the respectability of their journalism)

he got traction back when the #resistance was somewhat overplaying its hand over the mueller report and making itself a lot too easy to mock

partly by mocking and partly by muddying the waters, but very largely by sucking up to falun glenn

lmao @ "falun glenn"

He was a TYT reporter for awhile

he predicted trump winning, attended lots of trump rallies and talked to the faithful, which was semi-interesting/eye-opening at the time, when MAGA was ichoate. he has been wrong about everything since and is a sniveling little shitheel.

apart from his brutal beating at the hands from an 80 year old woman my favourite tracey moment was him going to a garage sale(?) at kurt eichenwalds and tweeting pictures of the items for sale, much to kurt's chagrin. perfect crossover of the bad twitter personality universe

lmao, thanks. He and Aimee Terese just seemed like tulpas created from the bad vibes of left-ish Twitter.

i'm v much in the ACAB camp but there's a pretty funny video of him getting arrested by campus police for allegedly disrupting an Ann Colter appearance from many years ago and i've never been more ConflictedLarryDavid.gif

*v much in the ACAB *AND* Ann Colter should be mercilessly mocked in public at all times camp

he wanted her autograph!

lol wait for real

someone said so on twitter so yes for real

well since he got arrested at a book signing event he's not very good at getting autographs

good enough for me.

so as i understand it Tracey was arrested by campus police for trying to kiss Ann Coulter, probably

Glenn was a pretty big champion of Michael Tracey’s work well after leftists had realized he was pretty bad abd were dunking on him regularly. Asked his followers to donate money to him etc.

wait a second, sic outs Michael Tracey as sissymanwhore and no one bats an eye? what happened to this site, man

Christ what fucking guy scumbag

Reailty Winner continues to linger in prison for one reason and one reason only: because Biden/Harris refuse to pardon her or commute her sentence.

Notably, the interest level among those purporting such concern in her plight has plummeted since 1/20/21.

ouch

Yikes, @ggreenwald. I don't think support for my sister #RealityWinner has plummeted at all. I've been encouraged by the kind souls who are helping us spread the word every day to help us #BringRealityHome. What have YOU done to help her cause? https://t.co/qKGTJL9SPl

Since this is a defend the indefensible thread let me say that GG, who I consider indefensible, is fully otm with this today:

"People who overcome drug addiction deserve admiration and praise, not shame. That includes Hunter Biden, whose new book is about his struggles.

Vilifying people this way for past addiction is disgusting and dangerous: the stigma makes it less likely people will seek treatment."

it's no Bloom, that's for sure

Fair enough. Credit where credit is due I guess xxpost

honestly though saying "people who quit drugs should be praised, not shamed" is fucking asinine. really taking a stand with that one.

congratulations to hunter biden for quitting his cocaine habit, who has a book out by the way *sniffs*

Ehh Hunter Biden can totally do what he wants now because he was subject to sleazy attacks like that. He wins. It’s over.

hunter biden can do what he wants bc he is (family tragedy notwithstanding) the beneficiary of world-historical privilege

True but in addition to that!

Hunter Biden can do whatever he want because his testimony in front of the GOP House in 2023 is going to be hilarious.

🐎👞

just this week: "hey women and people of color aren't the only ones who get mean reply tweets you know" and "why is the media trying to make the attack on the capitol some kind of big deal, makes u think"

This Rush Limbaugh rant on the reaction of the GOP establishment & Fox News to Trump actually contains some insights https://t.co/pwwqxH3pmt

actually,

*sad slide whistle* thanks for playing glenn

richard spencer had some good points on this also

what is this guys audience these days, apart from the haters/gawkers i mean

@ggreenwald I think Rush has it correct. It is not only lefties who can be insightful. This is why I follow you- good to hear both sides.

— bill ahearn (@billahearn3) January 28, 2016

that's his 'audience'

22 dogs xps

good to hear both sides

my version of "right-wingers can sometimes offer useful context/analysis" is reading the economist lol

can we create a crowdsourced Twitter account and give everybody in here the password and over time just acquire mass followers and troll greenwald until he loses his mind and leaves the internet forever?

one of the other responses was "Democrats should have listened, then they'd have a platform" and it's like....yeah they should have listened to you and lost the last election?

people still spreading the "Democrats need 2 do sum soul searching if they wanna win again" takes even when they don't lose.
