Conservatives are so freaked out about Twitter labels on their lying tweets (FB doing it now too) that a mass exodus to Parler, Newsmax, MeWe & Rumble led by Levin, Bartiromo & GOP happened last week
Good freaking riddance
They can harass one another now!

2-"Over the weekend, Parler shot to the top of Apple’s App Store in downloads. As of Monday, it had eight million members, nearly double the 4.5 million it had last week.
3-"While social media sites marketed at conservatives have existed for years, they have often struggled to catch on more widely. Their invigoration now may add to a fracturing of the information ecosystem.
4-"Ms. McGregor said she was skeptical that any migration would lead to permanent departures from Facebook and Twitter. “If there is no one to argue with, no omnipresent journalists or media entities to react to, how long will it last?”
5-"On Parler, users can see posts about MAGA fodder and QAnon, the pro-Trump conspiracy theory that asserts that some top Democrats are satanic pedophiles. Anti-Semitic theories abound.
6-"Donald Trump Jr., Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, and Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, all have Parler accounts." ~NYT
See ya, PLEASE don't come back!

6 American Service members were killed in a helicopter crash in Egypt yesterday
#COVID19 numbers broke another record yesterday at 159K sick in 24*
Yet Trump says nothing
He's still secluded in the WH
Whining & complaining

2-"On Thursday, six American service members were killed in a helico pter crash during a peacekeeping mission in Egypt. Tropical Storm Eta made landfall in North Florida, contributing to severe flooding. The number of Americans infected with the novel coronavirus continued
3-"at a record-setting pace, sending the stock market tumbling. At the White House, President Trump spent the day as he has most others this week — sequestered from public view, tweeting grievances, falsehoods and misinformation about the election results and about Fox News’s

Trump admin has said that Trump's efforts to decapitate DOD & Intel & replace with loyalists is 'partly' @ Afghanistan & getting Troops home sooner
But is that really it? Speculation is tremendous
No one knows ..
nytimes.com/2020/11/11/us/…
2-"There is no evidence so far that these new appointees harbor a secret agenda on Iran or have taken up their posts with an action plan in hand. But their sudden appearance has been a purge of the Pentagon’s top civilian hierarchy without recent precedent.
3-"Administration officials said the appointments were partly about Afghanistan, where the president has been frustrated by what he sees as a military moving too slowly to fulfill his promise that all American troops will be home by Christmas.

The next deadline for Gov't Funding to run out is Dec 11
GOP & Dems are looking at an Omnibus funding bill designed to keep things open thru September 2021 so negotiations could get more dicey than usual
1/5
Included on the Funding Bill agenda:
Nat'l Defense Auth Act: sets Pentagon policy -we all know Trump's all over DOD right now- & WH had a fit last time @ renaming bases now named after Confederate Gen'ls
2/5
And of course, Stimulus:
McConnell made comments before election that he'd do this in the lame duck, now he's hedging again
And Dems & GOP are worlds apart on size & scope of what it should be
Pelosi still won't budge & she's right
But ..

Per WaPo:
"GOP defiance and frustration about the still-emerging results faded in some parts of the country Sunday, as arguments against accepting the vote moved from the streets to social media"
washingtonpost.com/national/trump…
2-"Hundreds of Trump supporters had descended upon the steps of the Minn Capitol in St. Paul & later in front of the gov’s mansion last week, waving Trump flags & bearing signs alleging widespread voter fraud, despite there being evidence of none. On Sunday, the scene was silent.
3-"In nearby Anoka County, a conservative-leaning suburb about 20 minutes north of Minneapolis where neighborhood streets had been dotted with Trump campaign signs as late as Saturday morning, many of those signs had been removed.

Some really important reporting from NYT about what Biden's going to do on day one to start unraveling Trump's hate-filled, divisive policies:
#TrumpOut
nytimes.com/2020/11/08/us/…
2-"President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. is poised to unleash a series of executive actions on his first day in the Oval Office, prompting what is likely to be a yearslong effort to unwind President Trump’s domestic agenda and immediately signal a wholesale shift in the
3-"United States’ place in the world. In the first hours after he takes the oath of office on the West Front of the Capitol at noon on Jan. 20, Mr. Biden has said, he will send a letter to the United Nations indicating that the country will rejoin the global effort to combat

PER VF:
After Fox called AZ for Biden last night: "Trump phoned Murdoch to scream about the call/demand a retraction. Murdoch refused, & the call stood. Trump & Murdoch have been at odds for months over election coverage .."
#ElectionResults2020
vanityfair.com/news/2020/11/2…
2-"Tensions between Fox's pro-Trump opinion hosts and the news division are flaring over the Arizona call. "We called it long before MSNBC!" one outraged staffer on the opinion side told me. "We were so worried about being seen as pro-Trump that we bent over backwards."
3-"Some Republicans blame Fox for setting the narrative that Trump lost, even though the Associated Press later called Arizona for Biden. (As of Wednesday afternoon, NBC News, along with CNN, still haven’t called Arizona).
