Find you something in life that fills you with as much pure glee Glenn Greenwald gets cheering on True Progressives ratf*cking Liberals in order to elect Right Wingers. Nothing makes the man happier (He's tweeted about this at least 40 times in the past 3 days)
And let's check in with the True Progressive guy he's cheering on's campaign. Wow. Progressive.
Glenn's spin: "A Muslim voter confronted the labour candidate over support for LGBT issues"
What actually happened: A virulent homophobe accosted her for being pro gay rights.
And of course you know which side Glem took...the one that owns the libs, of course.
Anything else going on on Glenn's new favorite True Progressive. Oh cool. Just more normal Progressive stuff.
Glenn, a gay jew, will happily defend/side with vile anti-semitic holocaust deniers and anti-gay bigots, because the 'principle' that trumps all of that in Glenn's book is owning the Libs. Literally nothing matters more to Mr. Principled Journalist.
The other thing that is noticeable is that Glenn's defense for the past decade+ for just completely ignoring the abuses of the countries he defends (ie. Russia, PUTIN) is that he only focuses on his own govt (insert Chomsky quote) but Glenn constantly talks about UK politics.
Shockingly another Glem 'principle' that he is completely full of shit on and selectively ignores whenever he feels like it. Bold.

So my one goal was to figure out how to get to this biosphere place. Of course no one could tell me where to get the bus. I went to the tourist information place & of course it was shuttered. Asked a young security guy at the building next door and he was like "she left already."
Basically I needed to find the collectivo (unofficial) bus stop and either no one knew or no one could communicate it to me.
I'm determined to figure this out. Just walking all throughout the city And what do I see: Escuela de Ingles.
So I'm like, if anyone can tell me...
So I knock on the door and this lady comes out and I'm like "hablas Ingles" and she says "a little." Well, that was a lie. She was the receptionist. But she did her best to try to explain to me in Spanish. But it wasn't landing.
If you follow Nate, you'll notice how in the rare times he comments on anything Trump does, it's done completely dispassionately; 'yes, Donald Trump seems to be covering up a report implicating himself with a notorious pedophile, but I doubt this will matter much."
Whereas with Biden, every time there was a sniff of a story or he flubbed a word, Nate was on it in minutes with something like, "Jesus Christ. Get this fucking dementia patient off stage. The Democrats will never be able to live this shame down!"
People ask, 'how could voters believe Dems have positions that they don't actually believe?' Well it's because the GOP bombarded them with lies about Dems and there's just not a great answer for such weaponized shamelessness. Truth just does not work.
The GOP (and its wealthy financial backers) have basically weaponized disinformation/lies to a completely unprecedent degree. And with the rise of technology are able to pump it out completely unchallenged (especially since social media outlets have completely given up).
So the NYT politics guys did a Reddit AMA several days ago. This was the top upvoted post. And then the extremely predictable (point proving) response.
And the predictably smug/condescending follow-up
Needless to say, they were heavily down-voted and deluged with (acurate) negative comments like these
