Just taking this absurd Taibbi tweet at face value (rather than pointing out the obvious, that Matt & his buddies ignored/defended infinitely worse & more pervasive corruption during the Trump years)... it would be like a 2 hour story, tops. In reality, probably not even.
This is just so comical. Glenn was DEAD SILENT for 4+ years, when Trump & his family were profiting off the presidency like never before. And when he wasn't dead silent, he was whatabouting it with some weak tea 'whatabout duh Dems' BS. Such transparent, disingenuous wankers.
Here's how much Glenn cared about familial 'corruption' during the Trump years (in between getting retweets from Donald Trump Jr.):
"Oh, you think Joe Biden is corrupt, well here are all the previous people who were corrupt. It's not his fault, he's just following DC's example" is a thing you will never hear Glem say.
When Donald Trump's fixer is caught soliciting bribes for him: Get over it. Standard DC sleeze. Just how things work)
When Biden's son tries to sell his artwork: This is one of the most grave acts of corruption I have ever witnessed. Clear as day. Brazen influence peddling.

One of the first major "red flags" about Fetterman that I called out years ago was his behavior wrt to the jogger incident.
He did something that was so self-evidently wrong but rather than apologize or take accountability, just pushed through & refused to admit to being wrong.
It should have been really easy to do, but he wouldn't do it.
Pretty obvious parallels to Platner's defense of the Nazi tattoo (a clear, insult-to-your intelligence lie) & his defense of his reddit posts ('i was an angry troop').
Anyway, this is all going to go fine. For sure!
The Left desperately wants to pretend they were all completely duped by him and he suddenly changed after the stroke, but the truth is that there were numerous red flags that were there if you wanted to see them. But his aesthetic!!
Would just like to note that back in Oct I pointedly asked @jonfavs what the Pod Bros relationship w/ Platner campaign was and he gave me a whole big, indignant," How DARE you, sir!" response.
And now, faced with another Nazi 'controversy' they rush out another softball intvw.
It strained credulity to believe that there was no actual relationship and 'just wanting to keep an open mind.' Now, it's just completely obvious that John was just straight up lying about it.
I mean, it was obvious then too, but now it's just comically obvious.
Yesterday Trump said, 'he didn't know what body part his MRI was, but NOT the brain'. Today Trump struggled to stay awake repeatedly during a cabinet meeting.
Naturally, Nate's last 14 political tweets are about BIDEN OLD (12 of which are about Neera Tanden).
That's dedication!
And yet ANOTHER long ass, whiny 'article' about Biden Old and how right he was. Nothing else going on. Nothing about pardons. Nothing about presidential age/cognitive abilities. Nothing. Just that pure 100% uncut Biden Old.
Never say that Nate doesn't have hobbies.
I was going to post snippets from the article but honestly it's just too pathetic. It's literally the same shit he has posted, i don't know....100 times?
Given Nate's total silence now, I can only assume that he thinks this is all normal and acceptable (way more normal than having a well-planned cabinet meeting). Nothing authoritarian going on now!
These guys all used to react to every single utterance. Every single flub. Every anonymous background quote Politico article. And now...all of them are just completely silent.
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.
