Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has 55 Senators in support of his bill to sanction a Russian pipeline company. Why are the pro-democracy Democrats blocking its enactment?
Cute article but we all know that the left doesn't care about rules or tradition or playing fair. They will do anything they can to get the power they crave. If that means being hypocrites and doing the opposite of what they said yesterday, no problem.
I am against escalating with anyone else. Let’s worry about the US. It’s currently a shit show, headed to a 70s Brezhnev style economy. And the hypocrisy and obsession with the election which they claim was fair and had zero shenanigans….why the sudden obsession with fixing it, to make it even less secure, with zero identification needed? Seems they are scared about the midterms and are trying to do some fortification, come hell or high water.
And equating the filibuster with Jim Crow? Biden, I mean his handlers who spoon feed him, are really desperate.
That corporate media outlets will instead continue to propagate both of these DNC-sponsored fairy tales — Trump was an asset of Putin and the filibuster is only used by white nationalists for racist ends — tells you all you need to know about them and their Democratic allies. As is true for all conspiracy theorists and fanatics, there are no facts or contradicting events that can undermine their devotion to their worldview.
It would be very short sighted for the Democrats to pass such a bill. They must be assuming that Republicans will never again have a majority in the Senate. That indicates that they assume that the new "voting Rights" bill will achieve that goal. Scary.
This is when Glen is at his best, and why I subscribe. Not only does he give me great “discussion points” (read ammunition) on the hypocrisy found in so many political activities, his writings are normal a fun read.
Look at who he donates to. While the DNC is yelling that Trump is a Russian, Russia is actually using a DNC lobbying group, whose founder gives directly to Pelosi, Schumer, Swallwell and others.
If Germany voluntarily chooses to make itself dependent on Russian energy, and to spend just 1% of its GDP on its impotent little woke army, then it obviously doesn't feel militarily threatened by its neighbor Russia. So remind me again, why are we spending ourselves into debt and going hysterical over the existential Russian threat to Europe?
Glenn, save your breath! Hypocrisy is the coin of the realm in DC…..
The exact same people who are openly advocating for the denial of all healthcare for “unvaccinated” people are the exact same people who lampooned Sarah Palin for saying that Obamacare would lead to healthcare rationing and the denial of services. And here we are…
You mean to tell me that Biden is giving Russia a pipeline even after they clearly stole our election from old what's her name. What's next, a pardon for Assange (🤞🏾).
Thanks for this piece. I appreciate you mentioning, almost in passing, that you personally oppose the penalization of market competitors. This little aside underscores that you are reporting on the hypocritically inconsistent words and deeds of the political class and their media lapdogs, not just penning an op-ed hit piece for one team or the other. Facts > feelings
Just as the Dems choose to invoke cries of "racism" when it suits them, R's trumpet values of "freedom" and "liberty" -- unless we're talking about the freedom and liberty of competing economies. I get that it's in America's interests to rig the game, but that doesn't make trade fair or "free."
"As is true for all conspiracy theorists and fanatics, there are no facts or contradicting events that can undermine their devotion to their worldview."
I once thought, naively, that as the real facts about "Russian Collusion" became clear and as the Mueller Investigation came up with zero, people would come to see that they had been duped by our hideous Media/Tech/Gov Industrial Hydra Complex. But there is no amount of evidence that will convert a fanatic.
I disagree with Glenn Greenwald about sanctions. It is NOT. in my view, in US interests to promote German and European dependence on Russian Federation energy. Nevertheless, Mr. Greenwald is intellectually honest and makes valid points about the pipeline which is why I subscribed. The "inconsistency" of the Democrats and the dishonest Media's narrative is the reason the Media and "journalism" has discredited themselves. Mr. Greenwald is doing first class in raising standards of US journalism.
I love that Dems used the Filibuster hundreds of times during the Trump years but only now is it a relic of Jim Crow. They want to nuke the filibuster so they can jam through votings laws that will make sure they’re permanently in power and making it a one party state.
The Mueller Report says in four distinct places that it found no evidence that any one in the Trump Campaign had any improper contact with any Russians. But that doesn’t stop the Ted Lieu-type fanatics.
I wonder what will happen after Russia invades Ukraine this weekend.

Exactly.

Easy answer.

Gazprom is actually using Roberti Global for their US lobbying.
Vincent Roberti is the head of this firm, he is a HUGE DNC donor.

The facts speak for themselves, as I have linked.
If Germany voluntarily chooses to make itself dependent on Russian energy, and to spend just 1% of its GDP on its impotent little woke army, then it obviously doesn't feel militarily threatened by its neighbor Russia.

And, these people don’t see any inconsistency….

I strongly suspect Dr. King would be sorely tempted to slap the ever-loving shit out of Biden.
