If only Greenwald didn't switch his position from journalist to muckraking conspiracy theorist

  Would you like to provide some criticism with actual substance, or are you content with vague ad hominems?

    Sure. I find it hilarious that a charlatan like Greenwald has so captivated a bunch of libertarian tech nerds that they're willing to even entertain the idea of prolonging the pandemic to protect the sanctity of personal freedom, completely ignoring the other half of the democratic equation which requires civic duty. So I would say, fuck Glenn Greenwald, but I'm too busy enjoying the fruits of his labor by contacting coronavirus and dying. Of laughter.

      Define your use of charlatan, would you?

Apparently, 600k+ Postal Service workers not included in mandatory vaccination order [1]. What would be the possible reason for this?

  Unrelated. But of any federal building, you have the strongest gun laws for the post office. It’s criminal to have a gun in the parking lot. The post office is a strange beast.

It's sad to see the fall of the ACLU. I didn't always agree with them, but the days of ACLU Jewish lawyers fighting for the freedom of speech of Nazis is over.

I used to respect the ACLU. I took them at face value and assumed that they took principled positions in support of human rights. When I really looked into infant circumcision in my mid 50’s, I was horrified by what I found. It’s a deep rabbit hole of lies intended to deceive well-meaning people into harming their healthy baby boys. The ACLU adamantly opposes any restrictions on infant circumcision. For about five years thereafter, I carried signs with the Bloodstained Me in different cities. James Lowen[1] is still a good and trusted friend of mine.
