My guilty pleasure is watching election coverage solely through left wing TV channels. The slow shift from cockiness to confusion, anger, denial, and eventually fear is genuinely enthralling.
Hehe. It’s called we do a little patriot extraction. 🇺🇸
There are major questions about how Flavio Bolsonaro left Brazil this morning with his family for the US without detection by Brazil.
All morning, Brazilian authorities were utterly confused and clueless. As rumors circulated that Bolsonaro had left Brazil, they had no idea if it was true. At one point, they thought they had located a plane in Argentina, but Bolsonaro wasn't on it. That seems to have been a decoy.
Some Brazilian media outlets are now reporting that the US Govt did not merely agree to allow Bolsonaro to enter, but actively planned, participated in and even executed the exit of Bolsonaro and his family from Brazil to the US: meaning that it was a covert extraction operation by US officials carried out right under the noses of Brazilian intelligence and law-enforcement agencies, who had no idea it was happening.
(Bolsonaro has now arrived in the US, but the secrecy of all this means the US Govt has not publicly spoken on it. Everyone, including me, is working on finding out their version).
There are lots of questions for both governments, some pretty serious implications as well, and ultimately lots of embarrassment for Brazilian officials no matter how it happened (to say nothing of the authoritarian and anti-democratic stench of having Brazil's globally notorious tyrannical judge order the passport seizure of Lula's opponent a mere 7 minutes after Lula was declared the winner).
Their demoralization campaign didn’t work. These are some embarrassing revisions for Palestine13 and it’ll only get worse for them.
Israeli pollsters that had Likud at 17 seats should never engage with politics again. Clearly delusional clowns that didn’t put in any work at their jobs.
A potential RW vote that does not pass the election threshold is a vote for the opposition and Arabs. This is elementary even if it disappoints you.

Go fuck yourself. You're probably not even half as right wing as I am. A vote for an end to corruption, and a reform of Charedi parties is NOT a vote for the left and the arabs. How offensive.
My most liberal take is that I liked Benny @gantzbe. Didn’t care all that much for his politics or natural coalition allies, but I liked him as a person and for his character. Lamentable that the left abandoned him for not having sufficient Bibi Derangement Syndrome.
Reminder for the retards: Accelerationism isn’t real. You don’t get George Washington by voting for Arabs, Muslims, and leftists. You just get raped.
“I helped put the Arabs and the left in power, but it’s actually super cool and courageous because voting for disgruntled haredim is heckin based”
The Kitty has voted! While I absolutely support Feiglin and Ben Gvir, I believe they have a very good chance getting into the government.
While I myself am not Charedi, I ultimately chose to support what seems to me to be an authentic, grassroots movement to reform the Charedi movement/representation/party.
I support what הציבור החרדי are trying to accomplish and build. Even if they don't end up passing the threshold, I don't think it's a wasted voted. I believe it's important to send a message to the corrupt parties currently in power. Their time is coming to an end. No longer is the status quo acceptable.
That is all.
Good luck to the right wing!
GO VOTE!
Only the choicest will do. Knesset conclave, give Israel a worthy leader to oppress these Palestinians. Harden his heart. Strengthen his resolve. Amen.

Which random white guy will be chosen to continue the genocide on the Palestinian people hm
Netanyahu needs to thank the good Lord that his opposition is this inept. Retardedness like this on the eve of elections shouldn’t be possible.
Slutting yourself out for the DSA won’t save you, Brad. There is no honor among thieves.
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.
