    Maybe the “Cosby-is-Rapist” thing could have worked if Cosby were unknown. But…

    He’s been famous for 5 decades. Beloved by US elites. The star of a hit NBC prime-time show. Oprah [probably] suggested he should run for President. Hung out with rappers and billionaires. The Clintons [probably would have gone to] his wedding [if he was younger].

    And – just 3 years ago! - he was considered to be the most important black man in America and nobody except MSNBC viewers remembers the basement filled with chains, his gang of henchmen or other serial rapist behavior.

    And it’s been all tried before, including this same Woody Allen crap. Has the stench of desperation.

      He’s been big on promoting Russian government talking points for a while now.

      Also the same Glenn Greenwald who repeatedly talked about the danger he was in because of what he reported on the U.S. government… while safely living in Brazil.

                Mhh… Bolsonaro came to power in 2019 - Greenwald being worried about his safety in Brazil wasn’t on my radar before, but then again I would not exactly consider Brazil a country safe from CIA hitmen. But I just saw that Greenwald lost his husband in late spring 2023, so that might explain his going ga-ga. Mourning does things to some people’s minds. :/

                  This was when Snowden leaked all the info to him, which was 2013. He spent like 3 years regularly saying his life was in danger. It was not.

    Wasn’t Trump belittled like the tool that he is back when he was appearing on Howard Stearn? He’s always been a suck-ass
