If the voters don't eventually punish the Republicans who are calling for a de facto coup, then we have to conclude that a substantial number of Americans no longer believe in our democracy either.

Frmr US military official tells me Trump starting war w/ Iran is "probable":

'It will relieve the pressure from the Georgia recording leaks & also lines up the 5-6 Jan internal politics. If nothing else, it leaves a mess for Biden. Hopefully, Iran shows some tactical patient...'
As rich, white GOP lawmakers attempt to install fascism & undo the U.S. Constitution, keep in mind that tens of millions of people, disproportionately Black & Brown & nearly all poor, are now saddled w/ criminal records & excluded from society for “breaking the social contract.”

I can tell you this — every foreign diplomat and intel officer posted to the United States is surely writing cables back home tonight about the fragility of America’s democracy and the depravity of her President. 1/8

Trump delivers a line that is an absolute jackpot for foreign adversaries:

"We run all over the world telling people how to run their elections. We don't even know how to run ours."
In Vietnam, whenever we find unexploded bombs from the Vietnam War era, we often call it a “democracy” to refer to the US attempt to bring democracy to Vietnam. You will come across headlines like: “Today, the authority found 5 democracies under a bridge.” https://t.co/VHtFnHAaU1

Without prior notice to the UN, you sneaked into the GA Hall to record the video. You have not only violated the guidelines for the use of UN premises but also broken the rules for prevention of COVID-19. You're spreading virus literally. Time to stop!

Four years of Trump have left Europeans deeply distrustful of the US, convinced its political system is broken & that China will soon overtake it as the world's leading power. Below the key charts from an interesting new @ecfr surveyhttps://t.co/aJcK5kxVyV pic.twitter.com/w5J75udzcr

Two huge obstacles to a US-EU united front on China: Many in the EU no longer trust the US, and many believe China will be stronger than the US in a decade. The US will need to do a lot to win back Europe's confidence. https://t.co/83awyt5xgc pic.twitter.com/ij1ONhc17B

The message that China’s rise is an existential threat has limited resonance in Africa. Across Africa, there are verifiable markers of prosperity and economic advances that are directly linked to China’s rise. US policy that only sees Africa through a "China" narrative will fail.
