Greenwald has long been a neo-Bolshevik

H.L. Mencken may have come closest to defining Donald Trump as well as the devious Republican politicians and media phonies who promote Trump’s Big Lie: “The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.” #MarkMeadows

This is data we’ve long been waiting for, so people can now lower their anxiety about Omicron from 11–>1.

Another way to look at polling is that among Americans who believe we have a legal president, Biden has good numbers. Those who believe they live in an occupied country don’t like the occupier. That should not be surprising.

This is a point I've made before but since I just said it on Ari Melber I'll make it again: The *reason* the insurrectionists looked for the electoral ballot boxes is because if they had gotten them it would have broken chain of custody and thrown the whole election in disarray,

“Good” morning from Anne Applebaum

There are evidently many people who think it's an outrageous act of tyranny to tow illegally parked trucks, but perfectly normal political discourse to storm Congress to overturn a presidential election by violence.

In my experience in GOP politics, it was a good bet that the most vocal & virulent anti-gay politicians & operatives were closeted gays. On a public policy level it was astoundingly hypocritical. On a human level, it was the saddest & most desperately unhappy group imaginable.

For a moment, just contemplate the difference in moral character between the two men on the so-called "perfect" phone call.

Just Saying: Very few American journalists are connecting the dots between Paul Manafort's work in Ukraine, the Trump campaign's change to the GOP platform in 2015, Trump's withholding of support and attempted blackmail of Zelensky, and this invasion.

It's starting to feel like the democratic World has come together to correct the mistakes of the Paris Peace Conference 1919, Czechoslovakia and Austria 1938, Winter War 1939, Teheran and Yalta, Budapest 1956, Prague 1968 all at the same time.

Xi should seize this opportunity and demonstrate to the world that he cares more about a rules-based world order -- one that benefits China -- than reckless revisionism through war. Could be a pivotal moment for US-China relations.

Remember the recently detained Yelena Osipova, who survived the siege of Leningrad? She's back in action, protesting publicly in St Petersburg "🇷🇺 soldier, drop your weapon - and you'll be a real hero!" Banners are painted by herself. Don't know about you, but we love her! 💙💛

Can you imagine a progressive "human rights" advocate lecturing any other minority community (to which he does not belong) about what he thinks their core values ought to be? No. It is part of a shameful eraser of Jewish self-definition by some on the left.

Lukashenko offered Putin a brilliant anti-sanctions plan: "In a month, we will forget that there are sanctions. We should get together at the table in Moscow & come to an agreement: we sell you this, you sell us that. We'll build a joint economic policy." What a genius strategy!

Zelensky asks Israel: "You can mediate, but cannot mediate between good & evil. I could ask why we are not receive protection from Israel. Why are we not getting your Iron Dome, that would protect the Jews of Ukraine? Why hasn't Israel joined the sanction régime against Russia?"

162 years later, we’re back to free states and slave states. And with fugitive slave laws.

I'm Lebanese. #Lebanon MUST unconditionally and immediately ratify a peace treaty with #Israel, not a "cessation of hostilities," not a "ceasefire," not a "truce," but full-fledged and sincere peace and people-to-people normalization between the State of Lebanon and the State of

All the progressive dummies who smeared Ayaan Hirsi Ali as an Islamophobe 20 years ago. Look at what just happened in Amsterdam. She was right. You were foolish. Apologize to her.
