THIS JUST IN! GLENNETH GREENWALD IS SICK!

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

GLENNETH GREENWALD IS IN A FRENZY -- AND IT'S NOT JUST FROM HUFFING MOTHER TUCKER CARLSON'S BALLS. HE'S GRIFTING HARD AND WITH A PURPOSE THESE DAYS.

THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT SO MANY -- ANYONE WITH A PULSE AND A FUNCTIONING BRAIN -- HAS TURNED AGAINST HIM.

"I USED TO HAVE FRIENDS," GLYNNETH SOBBED TO THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- AS HE SMEARED HIS FACE WITH A PRODUCT FROM HIS NEW SKIN CARE LINE POOP.

"I WAS NEVER MUCH A REPORTER, I KNOW," HE ADMITTED PRESSING MORE POOP ON HIS FACE. "I WROTE BAD COLUMNS ADVOCATING FOR THE IRAQ WAR, AFTER ALL. AND I'M AN AIRHEAD IDIOT WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAW SO I ALSO WROTE BAD COLUMNS. IF CRAZY BOY ED SNOWDEN HADN'T STOLEN GOVERNMENT FILES AND DROPPED THEM IN MY LAP I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRETEND I WAS A REPORTER. I CAN'T PRETEND THAT NOW DAYS BECAUSE EVERY 1 IS ON TO ME EXCEPT THOSE IDIOTS AT THE VANGUARD -- GAVIN AND ZAC -- SO I AM STUCK ON THE GRIFT CIRCUIT WITH MATT TAIBBI AND MEGYN KELLEY AND THE REST OF THE PAST THEIR PRIME GRIFTERS."

"I NEED MONEY! LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY!" GWENNETH SHRIEKED AS HE BROKE DOWN IN SOBS. "I AM JUST LIKE THOSE RED-PILLED SELF LOATHING GAYS ON TWITTER WHO DREAM OF STRAIGHT MAGA MEN SPITTING ON THEM AND CRUSHING THEIR DREAMS! THAT'S ALL I WANT! TO BE DESTROYED. IS IT REALLY TOO MUCH TO ASK?'

WIPING HIS TEARS AWAY, GLENNETH EXPLAINED, "I'M SUPPORTING TRUMP BECAUSE I'M PART OF THE VOTE-YOUR-RIGHTS-AWAY MOVEMENT WHERE SELF-LOATHING GAY MEN PLEDGE TO SERVE MAGA STRAIGHT MEN. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A RACIST SO THE FACT THAT THEY BELIEVE WHITE LIVES MATTER -- ONLY WHITE LIVES MATTER -- IS FINE WITH ME!"

HE THEN BEGAN TO SOB AGAIN.

"NO ONE WANTS MY BUSSY ANYMORE," HE EXPLAINED TO THESE REPORTERS -- MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- "THEY SAY IT'S TOO USED AND LOOSE AND THAT IT NEEDS A DRAWSTRING. WELL I'M ALLERGIC TO COTTON SO I'M GOING TO HAVE SPHINCTEROPLASTY TO TIGHTEN IT UP. SOMEBODY'S GOT TO WANT TO HIT THIS! SOMEBODY'S GOT TO WANT TO!"

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Let's start in the US with the presidential election.

Oh, look, it's an advert: BRONZER, HOW NOT TO USE IT.

It's as though they're four-year-old little girls playing in Mommy's make up for the first time.

But who's paying for it?

Robert Kennedy Junior, you may remember, wanted to run for president. Even going so far as to run as an 'independent.'

Who's paying the bills right now? Because my understanding is that Junior's campaign had huge debts. So where did the money come from for yesterday evening's e-mail "Who Bobby wants you to vote for"?

That's what the picture's from. That e-mail. Who's paying to produce this stuff?

I don't think it's legal for Junior to use money donated to his campaign to pimp another person's campaign. If people wanted to donate to Trump, they would have done that. I don't understand the legality of someone already in debt on their campaign using resources to go further in debt in order to promote another candidate.

I don't understand it and I'm not the only one confused here. Junior finally got a response yesterday from various actual small donors who'd started the journey with him. And they replied back to the shock of the campaign which had no idea just how many people who gave money to Junior now hate him. Actively loathe him. "F**k you" is how 42% of the e-mails basically started.

Junior apparently did not realize how many people now hate him. Not casual election observers, mind you, but people who donated to his campaign. They feel betrayed -- and they should.

Speaking of betrayals, Jill Stein.

Karen Hunter offers her take in the above. That's her take. I've offered mine on this issue. I will add though that AOC is correct that Jill Stein is a "predator."

She waits every four years and shows up to prey on people, to lie to them and mislead them -- that is predator. AOC is correct. Not a Ted Glick fan but we'll note this from his ZNET column:

In 2004 there were about 225 GP members who were in elected office, almost all of them low-level offices like school board, water board, etc. Today Jill Stein says there are 144. There are no GP members who have been elected to a state house or senate seat and, of course, none to Congress. It’s a pretty dismal record for 20 years of existence.

Those of us who took the “safe states” position were in a decided minority then, and today, I am sure, anyone who advocated for it would be very unpopular. The GP has become a narrow, tiny party of true believers, destined to get at most 1% or so of the vote. Of course, that would triple the vote total of their Presidential candidate, Howie Hawkins, in 2020.

I remember when it was that I decided I had had it with the GP. I was at a national People’s Summit conference in Chicago in the summer of 2016 organized by National Nurses United and many other progressive groups and individuals who had come together after active involvement in the historic Bernie Sanders Presidential campaign. I was one of those people. On the second day of this event, attended by thousands, I looked up onto a screen that was projecting tweets about the convention that were being posted. I was shocked to see one from Jill Stein explicitly calling out this event and those who organized it as being “sheepdogs for the duopoly.” These supporters of independent socialist Bernie Sanders were all about corralling progressives into the Democratic Party, Stein was saying.

The GP, and others supporting them, don’t get it on mass politics. They believe in ideological purty before anything else. Unless you’re ideologically pure, they would say, you will never be able to bring about the transformational, revolutionary changes needed. Purity comes before anything else.

Twenty years of this approach have made it clear this is a losing strategy. The national US Green Party is a failure because of its rigid and narrow electoral approach.
