Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."
Flávio Bolsonaro publicou uma TERCEIRA VERSÃO da carta
Agora ele não é mais “presidente eleito”, mas “líder do Brasil”
O brasão não é mais dos “Estados Unidos do Brasil” mas o brasão oficial do pais
Mais duas versões da carta e ele vai dizer que o nome dele nem Flávio é
@KarinDianeRyan@juliaioffe I think describing it as racism is oversimplifying. It’s a collection of political objectives that don’t align. Some of them could… but it would require a lot of compromise on others.
Desde Miami, Flávio Bolsonaro se declara presidente electo, denuncia fraude y una orden de arresto contra él y sus asesores. Pide la casación de la fórmula Lula-Alckmin y anuncia oposición desde el exilio por vías pacíficas. ¡Denuncias gravísimas que el mundo debe escuchar!
Tarcísio de Freitas discorda de Flávio Bolsonaro após senador se declarar presidente eleito: “A eleição acabou e agora é preciso olhar para a frente. Entendo sua indignação e sua revolta […] Mas o caminho é respeitar o resultado das urnas e seguir em frente��.
Honestly he didn’t do this many rallies back to back in 2016 even (another proof of desperation). There is the possibility that the fun of having a bunch of gullible hicks bray at his every utterance has grown boring even to him. On that theory he could just check out of doing most of the job at the end of November. Bored, disengaged Trump would be a whole new level of crazy for everyone.
We may be witnessing Donald Trump's farewell tour - as he croaks through speech in 'Trump country' Texas
The most striking thing about Trump's appearance at last night's rally in Lubbock, Texas was that he looks very, very tired. He's running on fumes. His voice is permanently hoarse and he's peppering his speech with complaints that he has to be on the campaign trail at all.

Number one’s anarchy sounds much more manufactured than number 2. Also, the key part strikes me as “outstretched hand” - Arab Israelis have all but said “please, we can work it out just talk to us.” Much more productive than any conversation with Netanyahu.
But that’s a fantasy. In reality, no government.
Either:
1. Eisenkot, Bennet, Lieberman, Golan take Israeli Arabs' outstretched hand and replace Netanyahu. Settlers, hard-right, haredim won't recognize this gov't. Anarchy.
2. Eisenkot, Bennet, Lieberman take Netanyahu's outstretched hand and boycott Golan, hard-right, Arabs & Haredim (~50% of Israelis and growing fast). Anarchy.
So anarchy.
I am in Clayton County, Georgia and have been talking to older Black voters outside a polling place and ahead of this Obama rally and can confirm: older Black voters to a tee are FURIOUS about the Supreme Court killing the Voting Rights Act. This is the home of John Lewis, Hosea Williams and MLK Jr.
The problem is… a large chunk of Netanyahu’s bloc doesn’t care what the world thinks - which ties the hands of a lot of other politicians who don’t want to gin up mass outrage over including Arabs internally… but understand that will disappoint the western world.
או��ר זאת כך, ואבקש תשומת לב. אחרי כמה טסטים שניסיתי היום על עמיתים בחו״ל, ואחרי שנופנפה בקלות טענת הכזב בדבר ״מדינת אפרטהייד״: אין דרך להסביר לעולם את החרם על מפלגות ערביות באשר הן. אין דרך לצבוע את כולן בצבעי ״תומ��י טרור״, מבלי להיתפס גזעניים מהכפכפים עד למעלה. העולם מתבונן.
Gadi Eisenkott accepts that there should not be another election in April because so many turned out to vote yesterday, but he doesn’t want to go into coalition with Netanyahu as he promised his voters he would do so.
According to @KastelMoti at Channel
14, President Herzog will try and convince Eisenkott to join Netanyahu, on the basis he resigns in two years, and receives a full pardon from the President for the three indictments against him.
Last election was Netanyahu riding war wave (and even then, there was a lot of criticism); he was never going to sustain that but as my sister said - he really hollowed out Likud and cast his lot with far right orthodox. There’s no there there when you’re not even trying to find a winning coalition.
Based my last comment on the exit polls. They were incorrect with Bibi bloc doing better than projected. Still current government has 68 and is down to 53. So huge drop, showing the country voted against this govt’s policies. Unprecedented Arab vote makes them a key player now.
