Glenn's belief is that the American establishment is as terrible or worse than Trump, just that they hide their crimes better. They want to get rid of Trump so they can preserve the old order, not out of any genuine concern about corruption.
it is not unprecedented but it is still pretty blatant/massive corruption...i can understand criticizing the hyperbole but why does greenwald feel the need to "counter" this? what exactly is he trying to defend? he is no less of a ****ing idiot than romney...
Yes, this is the basis of my statement that he is a clown. It's a position born out of sheer contrarianism against mainstream liberalism.
so what is the solution according to him?
no ur a clown
Eh, I don't really think it has much to do with liberalism, it was formed out of what he saw from the government leading up to Iraq and just morphed into contrary takes. He's extremely online but no worse than most of the mainstream pundits and politics knowers.
Probably abolishing the military.
Yes, but in the end, Trump is a member of the Republican Party, which is one of the oldest political orders there is, this is what I will never get about this nonsense populism boom in the Us and Uk, it come's with the full help of the oldest most corrupt parties engineered to loving the status quo than any on earth. It is pure self-justifying bollocks IMHO.
Right, but they didn't want Trump to win the primary in the first place. He was a joke candidate and everyone was planning on Bush vs. Clinton battle of the dynasties. They tolerate him because he won an election for them and McConnell can use him to install his chud judges, but it's not like he's helping them.
Didn't he support that war?
Contrarianism is IMO the great plague of online opinions, by definition a stance with such a profound correlation with "not x" rather than a more solid underlying moral structure is pretty worthless.
Nonsensensical Ross, I am sorry, he is the Republican Party now, There is no anti-establishment about him, he is the establishhment, and the fact he has scandals around him is he's a scandalous person, as he has been throughout his life. All other candidates release their tax returns, he hasn't, just one of the reasons he's unfit for office. Did any of the main two party candidates set up a scandalous university or foundation, before they were even a political thing, did they suffer multiple bankruptcies?
Nah, it's the reason he was elected, it's the reason he is more interested in doing the bidding of another country than his own, it's been the most evident point of his presidency, it's treason, but ya know as I say if he didn't block every avenue of investigating this, maybe I'd be proven wrong, but until he does it remains his entire presidency for me.
So you mean around the time he and Snowden exposed all the govt surveillance stuff? Working on something like that would make anyone question literally everything they knew. Reckon that was a turning point for me as well politically.
It's a reason he was elected.
and that makes it more trivial...since it wasn't the only reason?
but his positions lead him to these scenarios where he is for all intents and purposes supporting trump and the g.o.p...and he seems to be ok with that so far...
No.
Supporting the GOP by... dunking on Mitt Romney?
