Outcry after reports Brazil plans to investigate Glenn Greenwald




Hope to never hear anything about this rat-fucker again except that he is headed to jail.

Also, just decided to go run some errands in 30 minutes so I will miss Chris Hayes havin' a boohoo.

That doesn't imply a neutral moral judgment. Just a pragmatic, "Let's see how this works."

Remember, to defeat Hitler the US teamed up with Stalin, who wound up not just doing the genocide thing (think "Tatars"--granted, not as important in the West as Jews) but killed far more people over time and caused far more suffering to far more people.

I guess the moral thing would have been to *not* partner with "Uncle Joe".

I think we should all offer the same assistance he did whistleblower Reality Winner after his failure to "protect his source" left her open to identification and now prison.
