this is not a real tweet

Itā€™s almost like heā€™s combining the intelligence departments into a single entityā€¦ maybe one he directly controls. Or maybe heā€™s just accidentally looking like a power-grabbing fascist.

Texas has been one of the only states the GOP is consistently losing control of. The more extreme Trump and the GOP gets the more ground it will lose here, and the 2018 election is quickly looking to be more important than the 2016 election.

Nowā€™s the time to promote those populists locally and get them into sight of running for federal office.

I wondered why Huckabee was on that list and thereā€™s some speculation heā€™s going to be ambassador to Israel? (caveat: seems to come from the Daily Heil)

Youā€™re kidding.

Mike ā€œI Am The Model Of A Christian Theocratā€ Huckabee for Israeli Ambassador? I canā€™t barely describe how insulting this is.

Do you think Netanyahu will be on board with a Christian dominionist?

Given that Huckabee gives approval towards Bibiā€™s anti-Palestinian attitudes, Iā€™m sure that he wonā€™t blink an eye at Huckabeeā€™s Christian Zionism.

Dammit.

Well, Iā€™m sure that the Israeli Left wonā€™t take this lying down. Problem is, they have zero influence over this.

Politico are suggesting (and I believe it) that the reason Romney, Cruz etc are being asked to meet with Trump is so they can ask for something and he can say no to them.

ā€œWe just saw Ted Cruz go to Trump Tower and suddenly everyone was speculating he was under consideration for attorney general,ā€ Fleischer said. ā€œThe next day, Trump names Sessions as AG. Does he follow suit by picking Rudy on Monday after meeting with Romney? ā€œWe donā€™t know, but thereā€™s almost a sense here that Trump is enjoying having his former opponents come before him and then not giving them what they want.ā€

With the DHS reporting that Russia was attacking electoral systems/voting machines in the US before the election, the significant exit poll discrepancies in OH, WI, NC (and less so with FL) seem like something that would be getting more attention on BoingBoing, esp. with the other FL attacks:

Until last week the LIBRUL MEDIA didnā€™t want to know where their sausage was coming from. Now they have to paint over all the CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE STOOPID signs and wait for their readers to forget the old rules.
