Who exactly is happy about the militarization of DC? It's obviously a necessary evil and it's sad that things even got to this point. Greenwald is no friend of the left.

I can't tell if he genuinely believes his nonsense or if he's just a grifter.

Glenn's the weird kind of leftie who hates liberals/Dem establishment even more than right-wing authoritarians and Fascists. Maybe he should take some time to reevaluate his priorities and realize that the enemy of his enemy is not his friend here.

He's not even a leftie, he was a libertarian who supported the Iraq War in the 2000s.

He’s a socialist here in Brazil, supports PSOL and Lula.

Would not surprise me if Trump is holding back on controversial pardons in hopes it will make the GOP senate less likely to convict him. I hope it doesn’t work. Then we get the best situation: Assholes like Assange don’t get off the hook, AND Trump is screwed anyway.

Glenn is completely incapable of any form of self-reflection, so when he is wrong on something he just relentlessly doubles down.

That's an attribute he shares with Trump and his supporters. That's at least part of the explanation.

Like other political people spend much time on self-reflection.

People like him are going to be the death of us. These people do nothing to advance left-wing causes and in fact are basically digging our own grave by empowering the fascists who daydream about murdering us.

Clowns like him would've opposed the military occupation of DC in 1861.

Maybe he just doesn't want authoritarian government from the left or right?

That might be more believable if he didn't spend the first two years of the Trump Presidency shilling for Putin and hasn't defended Erdogan.

Oh yes, the famously liberal, pro-journalist Putin regime which Greenwald has relentlessly defended is not an example of authoritarian government AT ALL.

Not using Putin as a scapegoat doesn't mean that you defend him.

There's a difference between not using Putin as a scapegoat and defending Putin at every turn because you wanna own the American establishment.

So neither Assange nor Snowden was pardoned.

Maybe the far left will turn on Trump now just like the far right is starting to as they come to the painful realization that the QAnon thing was never real?

Meanwhile, those of us who always could spot a con man a mile away are just laughing our asses off.

Have a link to any of these articles? I cannot find them and I've only read his pieces last couple years or so.
