I do think that a lot of our own government bureaucracy people have been tricked into believing in the Sorkinverse and not reality. I think some of them believed Barr would do the right thing and immediately release it, and if he didn't that would just make him corrupt (no poo poo)

Mr Interweb posted:Btw, I was curious about how Trump's attempt to revitalize everyone's favorite and most patriotic form of energy (coal) was doing so far. From what I've read, Trump helped (if he did at all) increase the industry's job by whopping....two thousand since he took office. And this is the highest number I was able to find. I dunno how that's doing, but I know his stupid rear end trade wars have us struggling to get steel in for all the jobs we run at my shop

Captain Invictus posted:didn't he just specifically snub bolsonaro a few days ago that caused even a moment's trouble for him? I really don't want Glenn to die at the hands of a dictator man; he's a wrong jerk, but he has good opinions and good writers on lots of other things. I don't think he's fundamentally a bad person, unlike the rest of the Trump defenders, and if he is smart he would get the gently caress out of Brazil before Bolsonaro can Night of the Long Knives it up

I reckon that's probably a bigger risk factor than either of the first two.

Captain Invictus posted:I actually meant he might get murdered more for being an outspoken journalist who just caused an international problem for him and happens to live in the brazilian wannabe nazi's backyard, but ok Yeah but like when someone says "I hope Glenn Greenwald eats poo poo" they probably mean they want him to admit he's wrong on Twitter or something, not get murdered by the dictator of the country they're living in for one arbitrary reason or another.

Let's be clear: if Trump were a Roman Emperor he would have already dissolved the Senate and married Ivanka, had several grand Triumphs held in his honor dragging the corpse of McCain through the streets behind his chariot, and the nightly festivities would be the feeding of democrats to lions. The Praetorian Guard would be on like attempt number 5 to get rid of him, and there would be several civil wars and various warlords as the Empire falls apart What I'm saying is we should be glad we live in this time period

Has Greenwald done anything besides being consistently and obnoxiously wrong in his published writing? I don't like him either but gently caress, do you actually want him to die at the hands of the government? If not, what consequences can Bolsonaro make Glenn Greenwald suffer that are significantly better than that? Torture? Imprisonment? I don't see Bolsonaro taking down GG with an argument. Seriously it is very ghoulish to be celebrating the possibility that Greenwald is gonna die to Bolsonaro, a nasty bigoted fascist who is worse than Glenn Greenwald in every single possible way
