defend the indefensible: glenn fucking greenwald

I feel like part of what motivated Greenwald is protecting the Wikileaks brand

so scary the US moving the embassy to west jerusalem

you bet it is, genius, plus a Likud maniac blessing DT in D.C. yesterday as "king of the United States"

*moves bookmark*

yes why is it so scary exactly? why shouldn't the capital be in west jerusalem? bc not even west jerusalem should be a part of israel?

shouldn't it be in*

Greenwald spent most of the last month of the race between Clinton and Trump disseminating Russian hacks attacking Clinton. He's been extremely defensive ever since.

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.

you didn't answer my question - the status of east jerusalem is a non-sequitar to the question of why the embassy shouldn't be in west jerusalem

maybe give it a think - it might give you some insight into a conflict you've until now only followed through twitter one liners.

*bookmarks thread*

guess what idgaf about

guess what idgaf about

The respect of others? Whether anybody reads your idiotic one-note posts? Having any measurable impact on the world at all?

guess what idgaf about

Morbs?

ah it's the Think Tank Triumvirate!

(j/k Tom is much smarter than you other two vertebrates)

I'm sure he flattered

he's*

I admit I had to wiki it in my confusion, but... aren't we all vertebrates?

ILX annual checkups on March 1

He meant invertebrates, Fred.

i didn't actually, telepath, i was giving you the BotD

At least Fred admits when he doesn't know what a word means.

I don't know what BotD means. I'm assuming the D stands for Dick, and not entirely comfortable with where this discussion is going.

he was calling you lower forms of life by referring to you by subphylum rather than species

reminder that this all started when fred decided to take an unprovoked potshot at morbs

xp is that a real thing? i've heard of ppl using invertebrate as an insult or even reprobate. i've never heard someone use vertebrate as an insult. occum's razor suggests that the brilliant film critic just a characteristically dumb mistake rather than he was using language in a novel and difficult to parse way. it's a bit sleep is where i'm a viking.

Mordy and Fred, together at last.

I assumed that was what El Tomboto was doing as well?

is any potshot at morbs unprovoked at this point?

youre such a little prisonpunk, Mord

But... isn't subphylum a higher rank than species?

yes, that insult definitely makes sense. i'm easily bullied by ppl into working for them. you have quite a way with words. i understand why you decided to make a career out of it. xp

To be fair, the fact that Morbs seems not to have developed his insult-capacities that well speaks well of his reviewing skills. The whole name-calling thing is such hackery.

i quit film criticism 3 years ago btw, for the good of all

what do your studies show, dingaling?

wonder if you can figure out why this framing is lying w/ statistics

that's nice

Morbs is kinda the scott adams of ilxor, here to explain why your inability to grok stats makes your assclowneyness predictable and boorring.

blow me

Monday's off to a good start!

@ggreenwald @MattBruenig This is asinine, "The majority of candidate Xs votes came from 66% of the electorate" is not a headline.

I'm going to copy what I said about this article on Facebook over here:

Let's look at this a little closer:

Here are the percentages of Trump's support in the overall poll broken down by demographic:

White men: 21%
White women: 19%
Black men: 1.6%
Black women: 0.2%
Latino men: 1.6%
Latino women 1.9%

The story here is not "more women and people of color supported Donald Trump in this poll". The story is "Donald Trump's support is overwhelmingly made up of white people". This article is an attempt to make white men who don't like Trump feel better about their demographic.
