Yet again, just a completely 100% generic RW account now. Zero difference b/w him and Redsteeze Stephen Miller guy.
The cruelty has always been the point with Glenn. He is a mean-spirited, petty, small person. So the full slide to RW grievance & saying shit like this was really not drastically different from his behavior when he was a 'celebrated' left-ish 'journalist'.
I didn't post about it the time, bc honestly I could fill my entire TL with the deranged shit he posts (and I already do), but it's in the same vein. Glenn, Mr. dog lover, just had to go out of the way to take a shot at Biden (and Hillary Clinton!) for the Major nothingburger.
There is literally no coherent principle beyond being a small, petty man hating on your enemies- the libs- who need to be owned. Nothing else. Nothing about civil liberties. Nothing about free speech. Its just one extremely small man on a crusade to lash out at the ppl he hates.

Dems passed one of the most substantial relief bills in history & the new president is absolutely crushing it on covid/vaccines (the one topic that the media covered endlessly)....so, of course they immediately pivot to regurgitating GOP talking points to create a 'scandal'.
Same shit they did last time (See: Benghazi). The media needs 'scandal'. Success is boring. Especially when it's a Dem president (notice theres no concern trolling about GOPers giving Biden kudos or w/e). So we get whatever faux-outrage the GOP cooks up as the conventional wisdom
Political media: Biden will have failed if he doesn't hit his vaccine target. We'll be watching
*Biden blows past the target*
Political media: Well, we'll have to leave it there. Next up the CRISIS at the border. Why this is a failure for Biden..
Glenn Greenwald's immediate response to a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, following a mass shooting that left 8 people dead, is to immediately defend white supremacists because that's who he is. Even by his standards, this is sick.
And it has nothing to do with contrarianism or defending people's 'rights'. Glenn (along with his buddy Tucker) identifies with & sees white supremacists as allies. He always has. It's why he's always defending them. It's why he never, ever has a critical word for them.
And it's why he sees Steve Bannon as a partner in his quest to own the Libs. No one with his stated values would ever do this. But that's because Glenn's stated values are just complete bullshit. None of that is what actually motivates any of his behavior.
Really really "odd" behavior from our political media, where they're practically salivating at writing out of context GOP attack ads, rather than actually informing people of the context of the statement (raising taxes only on people making over $400k).
There's literally no universe where reporting on how epic 'you didn't build that' is going to be, instead of giving the full quote is doing a journalistic service. It just seems like the 'mainstream' political media sees it as their job to launder GOP bad faith talking points.
It's far from the first time. They really do seem to feel like it's their job to 'savvily' (and gleefully) think up GOP attack ads.
"Hey I just want 1 person who's been 'on' the ACA (not sure he really knows what the ACA is but anyways) to tell me their experience"
*everyone responds w examples*
*instantly blocks everyone responding*
Definitely one of the more pathetic showings i've seen on here in a while.
Lest you think it was just me he did this to...
And then he proceeded to have a total meltdown bc again, people answered the question he asked & he didn't like it bc it pierced his narrative bubble.
Has you know who flipped his shit over this or is he still tweeting about Taylor Lorenz & defending his buddy Tucker?
Just pathetic. Not even vaguely interesting. Like a drunk guy sitting on a street corner, rocking back and forth repeating the same thing over & over...for 5 years now. Sad.
Wow, did you see this @ggreenwald? I know you wouldn't want to miss this, as you've staked your extremely good reputation on it, so you will probably want to comment on this. Glenn Greenwald.
His response is going to be something like, "there is STILL no evidence that he was bashed over the head with a fire extinguisher, which has become a liberal piety, further proving that they did not murder him, he just died the next day from natural causes'
OK, sometimes "mistakes" are made. This is a huge one. Will be there be any self-critique?
