https://www.wonkette.com/glenn-greenwald-wants-to-be-kinder-gentler-russian-stooge-fucking-moron-brainless-idiotOh happy day, there is a new longform profile of Glenn Greenwald for us to look at, in The New Yorker! But ain't nobody got time for that, so Wonkette will do the public service of summarizing it for you with quippy one liners, like we did last time. Isn't Wonkette the best, unlike Glenn Greenwald, who is a dick and a witting/unwitting Russian intelligence asset and kind of a white nationalist?
Because that is the common thread of this article. Let us please call him what he is, which is a white nationalist, as a Twitter person did in this excellent thread.
He's also a motherfucker, whose website The Intercept completely fucked that NSA contractor Reality Winner, who leaked to it a document showing serious Russian attempts to hack into US voting systems mere days before the 2016 election. (Greenwald hated that story, according to The New Yorker.) The Intercept ended up exposing its source and now Winner has been sentenced to five years in prison, for leaking a thing that went against Glenn Greenwald's narrative that Russia is a goddamn angel and America is bad.
Funny, that. For the record, Greenwald acknowledges that The Intercept "fucked up" that one.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's summarize this shit!
Glenn Greenwald has a new tennis-playing friend from Tennessee named Tennys Sandgren. They made friends because Tennys the Tennis-ist from Tennessee always tweets white supremacist and anti-Muslim and #PizzaGate stuff. Tennys got in a real pickle for all that! Glenn Greenwald, we guess, was like, "Oh, Tennys is very sexxxy! Tennys reminds me of my new friend Tucker Carlson, maybe we should all be best friends and do sleepovers, but not #Pizza sleepovers, because we're not PERVERTS."

the New Yorker piece because I love the New Yorker and thought it would offer something new.
Other than the heavy dark wood of Greenwald's dining table, it gave me nothing.
Greenwald is an arrogant, narcissistic dick. But I already knew that.

...who then end up in prison or in exile. He skates on his merry way, but their lives are frankly ruined forever. Hope it was worth it, ladies and gentlemen. As far as I am concerned, I have no fcks to give for the fate of Greenwald, and I am really sorry for the people he has suckered.
