here is Greenwald's reasoning for why Obama was worse than Trump. half a million covid deaths and trying to overthrow democracy apparently don't rate as "moral evil"
I wonder how many deaths the reimposition of sanctions on Iran caused in the context of the pandemic. I would be real surprised if it was less than 100k thenation.com/article/world/…
the question he is answering is explicitly about why he thinks Obama is worse reason.com/2021/01/23/jou…
incidentally this is another piece of rank dishonesty. Trump prosecuted as many whistleblowers in one term (8 of them) as Obama did in two theintercept.com/2019/10/09/the…
lol I didn't even make this connection, incredible

.@Sen_JoeManchin tells @ThePlumLineGS that he will not even *edit* the Jim Crow filibuster to stop McConnell from nullifying the election and preventing Dems from taking their committee gavels washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/… Image
who knows how this will all turn out but man is it depressing. millions of activists and ordinary people bust their asses to get Dems the Senate and they are *instantly* betrayed by the party right wing
I will say I'm glad this fight broke out just 5 days after Biden took office. it took almost 5 years to get to a similar place under Obama

what jumps out most about this "unity" tripe today is how conservative rhetoric now is fully, 100 percent bad faith bullshit. these people compulsively cook up the most annoying way to claim victimhood for each and every situation
I remember back before say, 2015 or so, when there used to be at least some dialogue and argument between right and left online. nobody ever convinced anybody of anything but I think people were restrained by the need to be minimally plausible and consistent
what Trump taught the right is that if you are completely shameless all the time, you gain a sort of political superpower. you can get away with (almost) anything, at the cost of dissolving any substantive goals in a stew of culture war grievance, ressentiment, and lunacy

jaw-dropping if true. also if Sund is right about Bowser, she should resign too npr.org/2021/01/11/955…
one major problem with the law enforcement mindset we see today is that most of them are incapable of seeing conservative white people as a real threat. "oh it's no big deal, they're just blowing off steam" right up until they start beating a cop to death
definitely yeah, can't take his word at all

PA Senate Republicans just refused to seat a Democrat who narrowly won reelection and whose victory was confirmed by the PA Supreme Court inquirer.com/politics/penns…
the thing about democratic government is it requires all parties to follow the procedural rules. if you can just refuse to seat people because their opponent won't concede, everything is fair game
