Hey where are all the GOP & anti-anti-GOP gaslighters who spent weeks arguing that Dems were being ridiculous comparing them to Jim Crow & all these GOP voter suppression bills #actually *expanded* voting?
Hey @HotlineJosh lets hear some more analysis about how the libs are being hysterical. And maybe some more election wonk nerdery bullshit about how there's no proof that this will actually lower turnout or something. The GOP sure doesn't believe that that's true.
The fact remains like all of these bills, they're designed in response to high Dem turnout & are laser-targeted to attack Dems and make voting harder for them. And, unlike this time, succeed in overturning any future Dem victories.
And of course they know it's 'wrong'. If they were proud of it, they wouldn't be ramming a bill though on a holiday weekend & suspending any time for public review, in the hopes that no one notices.
Thanks to John Roberts for his great success gutting the VRA. Racism is over! We no longer need any laws to prevent voter suppression (wink wink). Ultimately, this will be his legacy, but I suspect he thinks it's well worth it

It's hard to tell whether Katie Halper is just so incredibly dumb that she believes her own garbage or she's just completely delusional (whynotboth.jpg) but regardless of her whinging, if she's remembered at all, it'll be as a hypocritical grifter with absolutely no shame.
Katie & her buddy Nathan Robinson stage managed a false sexual assault smear that had been vetted & dismissed by every major outlet, all bc their preferred candidate lost the primary. And then went around shaming people, as she's *still* trying to do to this day.
She wants to pretend it's about principle, which nobody outside of her little partisan friend bubble believes, while going on to defend ppl like Shahid Buttar & Julian Assange. And hey, what ever happened to your friends & frequent podcast guests Sam Kriss & Emmett Rensin?

Glenn hyper-focused on owning libs over pedantic word choices, while completely excusing the (GOP caused) big picture...and lying about it to do so? Same as it ever was.
This is a great thread. Finally someone in the media has the stones to call him on it.
His entire defense of 1/6 has just been down-right farcical. "Wow the libs said that 1 guy died by being hit with a fire extinguisher but actually he wasn't...therefore everything else never happened & you are hysterical'.

Look Ryan, the reality is, it doesn't matter whether your buddy Bernie campa. manager David Sirota pushed you to write the story or not. You took an incredibly serious (false) allegation that the rest of the media wouldn't touch & cowardly reported into the public like a coward,
making it a process story, but getting the allegations out there in a backhanded manner. All the other outlets wouldnt touch it b/c they had her on record changing her story multiple times & did not find her credible. But that didn't stop political motivated hacks like you.
The most 'rich' part of @ryangrim's excuse for why he did what he did, when asked, he said, he 'didn't have time to substantiate her allegations' lol. Just gonna write a piece accusing the Dem pres. nom of being a rapist, but Im too busy to actually check if its true or not.

What? You're telling me that serious journalist @ryangrim wasn't just concerned about the ethics of the Times Up org & was actually just using it as an excuse to push a (false) rape smear, handed to him by his friend, the Sr. Adviser for the Sanders campaign? Well, I am shocked.
(The senior adviser for the Sanders campaign who had previously been caught lying about being associated with the campaign, as he smeared the campaigns opponents, under the guise of being a journalist, that is)

(h/t @OrbKnighter for the screen)
The Tara Reade stuff may have been the most despicable, cynical shit I have seen in Dem politics in my lifetime. When it was clear that they had lost the primary (yet again), rather than just accept their fate, they deployed this unbelievably craven bullshit from an obvious liar.

Honestly, I think it's way worse. The Russia Stuff (that they were objectively, aggressively wrong on) was reliant on confirmed reporting & govt stmts but it's not like there was a video of it happening. This, not only was there video, but we all watched it unfold in real time.
I really think this very well may be the most psychotic, alternate-reality-to-avoid-admitting-that-I-was-wrong shit Glem has ever gotten himself in to. Like, this is from today, the same day stuff like this (& the letter from the capitol police) comes out. It's just sad.
Well now that I think about it...There was the "Russia, if you're listening" stuff but that's just not as visceral as the violence we saw on January 6th.

How it started /// How it's (predictably) going
The #1 outlet of The Left, Jacobin, just does not miss.
TFW you've 'weighed this all' and the only conclusion is a Liberal Case for Donald Trump.
