10. The simple fact is this: corruption is the lubricant of authoritarianism around the world, the connective tissue between many of the autocrats we see in power today. They claim to be nationalists, but they put their own profit first.

[Eric Lipton @EricLiptonNYT]

The president was discussing an active criminal case with the authoritarian leader of a nation in which Mr. Trump does business; he reported receiving at least $2.6 million in net income from operations in Turkey from 2015 through 2018 With @BenWeiserNYT https://t.co/RhLEe4463n

1. There has always been a ton of smoke around the relationship between Trump and Erdogan, two of the most corrupt leaders in the world. Whatever happens in November, this has to be investigated and people held accountable.

@estevancarlos @ParkerMolloy Now that I’ve read it, yeah, just like I thought. No original reporting. No quotes or new interviews of his own. No new documents. No new answers. No answers at all. Just innuendo. All opinion. All innuendo. It’s a hit piece against Bidens and other journalists.

[Brian Bell @brianjbellz]

@estevancarlos @ParkerMolloy The guy is one of the founding editors. The Intercept not publishing it probably shows how crappily sourced the Hunter Biden story is. My question is if Trump isn’t re-elected and Glenn’s no use to Trump or Putin, is Bolsonaro going to toss Glenn and his husband into a hole?

[Brian Bell @brianjbellz]

@carpinsandiego @khaylock @anon84276912 @TheRealHoarse Once he’s outlived his usefulness to the Right, Trump and Putin, it will be pretty funny when Bolsonaro makes him and his family into Amnesty International poster children. Schadenfreude. BTW, there’s not an iota of original reporting in his hit piece.

[Brian Bell @brianjbellz]

@TheRealHoarse Glenn raises all sorts of questions and innuendos about journalists and the Bidens. He doesn’t answer any questions about the provenance of the source material. There’s no original reporting in it. It’s worse than something you’d read at Breitbart. (2/2)

[Brian Bell @brianjbellz]

@TheRealHoarse Having just read Glenn’s latest “piece” (more like hit piece) he put on substack, I can see why it was rejected. Glenn had NO original sources on the piece. All he does is present questions about why people aren’t covering the story as he would like. (1/2)

[Brian Bell @brianjbellz]

@ggreenwald Why you need an editor:

“... because they was eager...”

“... They wanted to counter-act...”

I could go on, including on your shoddily sourced editorial — NOT an unbiased article or even a particularly well-sourced piece — but why bother?

You’re just a propagandist.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Michigan voters strongly favor the common sense move of banning guns at the state Capitol and polls. This reasonable and limited restriction on gun rights would comply with the 2nd Amendment. Legislature should not wait for tragedy before taking action. https://t.co/cWk4kPgaSn

@ParkerMolloy @MattGoldberg He’s not just “contrarian“.

Contrarians aren’t so desperate to post disinfo pieces 5 days before an election that they fall on their swords when they fail.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@ParkerMolloy Let's not forget that time 4 years ago when Glenn helped the Russians disseminate emails stolen from the Clinton campaign. This has been a little project I can now set aside.

Imagine being the Producer who forgot to send the package desperately trying to find a way to stop Tucker from going public about the heist.

[Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance]

I’m going to go ahead and call #Bullshit on this @TuckerCarlson . Intelligence Tradecraft Secret: There were never any documents to be “Stolen”. 🙄

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

This is flatly untrue!!!! This should be taken down. They didn’t rule that.

[Gregory Travis @greg_travis]

At some point the "casedemic" truthers like @EthicalSkeptic @FatEmperor @MLevitt_NP2013 need to be held accountable for this.

Once deaths start to track cases in this fashion, it's too late to do anything other than order refrigerated trucks and bodybags.

@KhurramKhan1776 @abediaa Gorka’s a Nazi. Joe Arpaio’s a con, literally a convict. There’s nothing “honest” about these gangsters. I could go on, but why bother.

MAGA-heads giving Iblis a shoutout for supporting Trump.

What they don't realize is that Iblis = Satan in Arabic 🤣👿
