"oh for the sake of christ" is a good one

"oh for the sake of christ," said zooey to franny

He seems genuinely unwell at this point:

Me, the day profile came out: Please read this largely fair, good faith examination of my views
Also me, after very calmly stewing over it for the past 8 months: THIS SMEAR ARTIST TRIED TO PAINT ME AS PSYCHOLOGY DAMAGED, FULL OF RAGE & RESENTMENT. LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW HAHAHA! pic.twitter.com/m8BsHnzejE

I decided to read the dude’s twitter feed today and he was retweeting the daily caller. Wtf dude

im not seeing that?

glenn is having his day in the sun. haters gonna hate

he retweeted dasha promoting a red scare episode with michael tracey and angela nagle in the room, which is like, lol, what a motley crew of shitiness

Angela Nagle’s accent is nice. I give her a pass for this reason.

apparently she doesn't speak on the ep she's just in the room.

i haven't heard her accent. i have unfortunately read her takes. im the child of a refugee so she can eat my ass

Fair

I thought her book was illuminating but i’m not on board with her going on tucker etc.

When I wrote this both Glenn and Michael Tracey shared it, now I’m a Russiagate careerist from Brooklyn who lives in North Carolina https://t.co/qWTVnVQFT4

I just googled greenwald. His husband is very handsome, jeez

Who are all these people

Has Michael Tracey done/written anything particularly notable/worth reading? I feel like I’ve only become aware of him in the context of him going on Carlson to rant about russiagate.

And half of twitter arguing about him, but I’m not clear why he matters.

None of these people have done anything notable. They could all be buried in the same avalanche at no loss to the world.

Not quite as baffling as the obsession with WASBAPPIN among people I follow on twitter but getting there.

what is really bappin, is what we wonder

Michael Tracey is a weird contrarian freelance journo,basically unfollowable on twitter because his hot takes are so annoying. His claim to fame is reporting during the Trump campaign and predicting Trump's victory.

Hes a russiagate critic

maxine waters apparently violently assaulted him by kind of nudging him out of the way once

i'm glad i got something from this revive, another reason to like maxine waters

Yeah she barely brushed him and he cried assault.

I'm ok with Glenn generally, but going on Tucker Carlson to gloat about russiagate seems dumb. Nothing wrong with going on Tucker's show, and more people should do so, but only if you're going to actually use his platform otherwise you're just his useful idiot.

The Michael Tracey guy seems unhinged, desperate to make a bigger name for himself, or both. Not a person to be taken seriously at any rate

Nothing wrong with going on Tucker's show, and more people should do so, but only if you're going to actually use his platform otherwise you're just his useful idiot.

How exactly is this supposed to work? It's well documented that if a Carlson segment goes poorly for him, he just won't air it.

If thats a reference to the Dutch historian thing, I thought the historian guy totally blew that. Tucker would have aired the clip if the historian had stuck to talking about taxation. His decision to launch into a full blooded takedown of Fox/Carlson was never going to air and he knew that, was playing to gallery for the retweets instead.

You don't need the segment to go poorly for Carlson to still get points of view across (taxation, anti-war, legalization, m4a or whatever)

no one should ever go on tucker's show for any reason. i'm the final arbiter of this. thanks.

also glenn greenwald is perfectly indefensible. lock thread.

wow the Taibbi/Greenwald obsessives have been busy today, so

Didn't see David Corn at the local co-op today. I half expected to find him in the parking lot, selling his Russiagate book out of his trunk.

who

say glenn greenwald is bottoming but he hasn't cleaned out. what should his last name be changed to? brownwald.

oh no

I've been 'letting that one sit' for a few days now

greenwald might work as is, depending on health and diet

Kind of pissed that Carlson never has DJ Spooky on as a guest, they could debate bullshit IDM

illbient times

Lol

(tbc i appreciate the intercept. that image just reminded me of the stuff you see on subway walls advertising these amorphous "leadership conferences.")

(also: pitbull)

I've been to one of those conferences, it was a nightmare. Bill Cosby gave a speech that was basically a long riff on "get off my lawn, kids". Somehow the only moderately decent speech was Colin Powell.

I honestly don't get why Greenwald is so ride or die to defend Trump from accusations of corruption. Today he's hammering on "the only thing those Resistance wackos are unhappy about in Barr's report is that he suppressed any discussion of the evidence that people working for Trump obstructed justice," which, um, yeah, why would that not be something to be seriously unhappy about?

This 100+ thread is a tough read:

1) So now we have self-described “progressives” like @ggreenwald and @mtracey telling us that the threat of white nationalism in the USA is “nonexistent” (as Tracey put it), and when called out for that GG chimes in and claims that we “needs be keep the threat in perspective.” pic.twitter.com/89CDRKzN1v
