Ever since Lula was declared the winner, there have been some sizable protests, but little indication from Bolsonaro or the institutions composing his movement that they intend to contest the results. The Defense Ministry is run by a General. Hard to know the effects it will have — PolitiTweet.org

Brazil's Defense Ministry, commanding the Armed Forces, sent a report to the top election court, which the court publicly said found no fraud. Today, the Ministry issued this statement emphasizing it did not rule out fraud, and believes there should be an "urgent" investigation: — PolitiTweet.org

@mazemoore Absolutely: same what the center-right Blairites in Labour purposely sabotaged Corbyn, because they'd rather have lost to Theresa May or Boris Johnson than win with Corbyn. The establishment wings of both parties have way more in common than differences and support each other. — PolitiTweet.org

@demiroolshude I understand this sentiment. Trump is a huge distraction, undisciplined, guaranteed to suck up all attention on himself. I get the desire for a different/better messenger, but DeSantis believes little of Trump's winning 2016 campaign that became "MAGA." DeSantis is standard GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Look at US involvement in the war in Ukraine. The vast majority of the GOP establishment is 100% united with Biden/Dems/neocons: they want full-scale US role. Opposition only comes from the MAGA wing of the GOP (MTG/Tucker) and the anti-imperialist left unrepresented in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Trump's 2016 campaign was based on denunciations of Reagan/Bush/GOP orthodoxy on domestic policy and Bush/Cheney/neocon orthodoxy on foreign policy. That's why neocons and the GOP establishment hated him. That's what "MAGA" is. Many who claim that label believe the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The excitement over DeSantis encapsulates this perfectly. It's easy to see why conservatives love him: he's smart, disciplined, shrewd, young, was right on COVID, defies media pressure. But on policy, he's standard GOP. I'm sure many Republicans want that, but that's not "MAGA." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just go look at what Trump said in 2016 about social spending, tax cuts, foreign policy, benefits for the working class. Little of it happened because he surrounded himself with Reagan/Bush Republicans. They'll use MAGA as a pose, a vibe, but they're Pompeo/Kushner on policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One pivotal moment for this was when Jared Kushner won his power struggle over Steve Bannon. Kushner is pure Chamber of Commerce on domestic policy and neocon on foreign policy. So many like him cynically grabbed the "MAGA" label while continuing Bush/Cheney orthodoxy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's so little clarity on MAGA policy because Trump's winning 2016 campaign rhetoric often bore little resemblance to what his Administration did. It was filled with old-school GOPs of the type he denounced, who flattered him and thus got their way: The Mike Pompeo Syndrome. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I hope everyone reads this column👇. The main problem is utter doctrinal confusion about what "MAGA" even means. So many who claim this label agree on almost nothing beyond hating the media and the excesses of woke culture. Valid causes, but only a fraction of what matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Demeaning, creepy, sexualized things you get to say about female politicians if you're doing so for the right cause and on the right liberal channel. Pick your most beloved liberal politician and imagine the uproar if this were said about them on Fox while the host giggled: — PolitiTweet.org

Los Angeles, one of America's richest and most important cities, just had an election for Mayor -- a totally ordinary, regular election. There's no chance the results will be known until *Friday.* Some states take *weeks* to count all votes in their primaries. It's madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I know she's evil incarnate in some circles now - the circles that view Liz Cheney as heroic - but @TulsiGabbard introduced legislation to make it way harder for foreign hackers (remember them?) or domestic fraudsters to trifle with votes. It went nowhere https://t.co/BpNcWlPEUr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It makes it so much worse when it seems huge numbers of votes just start appearing out of the blue from all different corners: early voting, absentee voting, provisional votes, mailed votes, etc. Even with zero fraud, a system like this will never be trusted. It's insanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's not a question of party or ideology *at all*. It is by definition a broken system - one that will inevitably foster pervasive distrust - if votes can't be counted in one day but rather many days or even weeks. Of course this can be fixed and everyone has an interest in it: — PolitiTweet.org

@Malinowski That one of your last acts before getting booted out by voters was publicly and falsely accusing a journalist of working for Russia -- all because he asked you a question about your legislation -- shows why you deserved to lose and Congress will be better off without you.🙏 https://t.co/NQNvDjP63m — PolitiTweet.org

Any even minimally honest person would note this quote was spoken by the 2012 campaign manager for Obama/Biden but since we're talking about Media Matters, the slime that poured out of David Brock, no honesty applies so it's purposely implied this came from a conservative on Fox: — PolitiTweet.org

@CPIpesquisas @ContaratoSenado @senadorhumberto Porque o sangue doado é testado para HIV, herpes, sífilis, hepatite e muitas outras doenças sexualmente transmissíveis – que homens heterossexuais e homossexuais têm.

@millennial_g @ContaratoSenado @senadorhumberto A promiscuous heterosexual man (did you know there are many of these?) is far more at risk of an STD than a monogamous or near-monogamous gay man, but none of these bans make sense because donated blood is screened not only for HIV but dozens of STDs (herpes, hepatitis, etc). — PolitiTweet.org
