I love the way Mordy keeps doubling down on the stupid long after his little gee-ha-ha-had on Greenwald has utterly gone wrong-side-of-history.
plenty of people find GG to be a shitty journalist, an asshole, and a self-promoting sack'o'shit but yeah, let's let history judge

Oh no, the dreaded "plenty of people". They should probably pool their resources. Or maybe they should pee in a pool.

Undoubtedly I'm a troll for pointing out that you have to go speculative with that claim.

weirdly, this scenario kind of resonated with me as a teacher. sometimes students will get themselves in a heap of trouble and then blame some unspecified medical condition or family emergency for it, long after the fact.
Why is this in a thread about Glenn Greenwald?

that was unreadable, but basically his imperial know-it-all-itness is getting fucking tiring. no critique of trump is complete without a stab at the democrats. all concerns about an openly nationalist candidate promising a radical break with tradition must be countered with an accusation of "hypocrisy" and "hysteria." he just sucks. this act is tired.

he's criticizing democrats for being alarmist in rhetoric *while also* being timid in action.
you say trump is the beginning of a fascist wave sweeping the country? then don't chide scuffles in the streets as "unamerican"

lol i think he just deleted a tweet. it said something like "C.I.A. didn't forget to give Trump a gift for his inauguration day," and linked to this NYT story: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/us/politics/trump-russia-associates-investigation.html
i guess he realized pretty quickly that protecting the sanctity of Trump's inauguration day probably didn't fit the brand

Greenwald's smug tone is totally wrong for this moment. He just shruggingly says "the corrupt deep state is at war with the new fascist president, just like them huh" *rolls eyes* as if that is 1.) normal and 2.) the most plausible answer to the multiple links between Trump and the Kremlin. It's as if those things couldn't possible be connected to Trump's Putinesque desire for a fractured Europe and an end to NATO.
Like, maybe too much is being made of coincidences -- maybe the CIA is framing Trump or something -- but wouldn't that also be a fucking weird thing to be happening?

it is interesting that the settler colonial state is a scarier prospect to world peace than the country killing more ppl in syria than the entire history of the israeli/arab conflict and who most recently annexed a chunk of another actually existing country

Glick told The Intercept that many in Israel didn’t feel like Obama was willing to consider their point of view. “Can you imagine the president of France saying, ‘Listen I don’t think it’s a good idea that Washington should be your capital. Maybe Orlando!'”
(The residents of Washington, D.C. may be without full voting rights but they are not militarily occupied or denied citizenship like the Palestinians in East Jerusalem.)
“Jerusalem is the capital of Israel whether you like it or you don’t,” he concluded.
