I hope Democrats have a plan minus thinking they'll win next orderly elections. They will have to prepare for a scenario where they have to be prepared for annulment of all political representation in electorate

#

They do win next elections if they go orderly and all. Issue is that i do not think Trump will let real elections happen

#

This is not me saying 'i do not believe in electoral politics.' It should be a tool to be used. I am saying as someone that has been taken right of any electoral politics, that parties cannot only rely on it, or else it leads to dissolution of said organizations when the legal grounds are gone

📑 Translated from Turkish

In Russia, there exists an entrenched state and bureaucracy on which authoritarianism rests. In Iran, there is a sharia-legal framework that both limits and sustains the regime. In China, the party serves as the institutional backbone that keeps the system afloat despite all its problems. In Turkey, however, what is growing ever stronger is a power structure that cannot be constrained by the machinery of the state, nor by legal norms, nor by oversight from the opposition; one that fits into no institutional framework but carries grand historical and geopolitical visions.

Original text
Rusya’da otoriterliğin dayandığı yerleşik bir devlet ve bürokrasi var. İran’da rejimi sınırlayan ve aynı zamanda taşıyan bir şer‘i-hukuki çerçeve mevcut. Çin’de ise parti, bütün sorunlarına rağmen sistemi ayakta tutan kurumsal omurga işlevi görüyor. Türkiye’de ise giderek güçlenen şey, ne devlet mekaniği ile ne hukuki normlarla…

Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer (@BrammerAyse)

Actually, seeing what is happening in Turkey, I am fairly convinced that Erdoğan did say it (perhaps even more than what we saw), assuming Trump would not publicize it. But Trump, being Trump, shared it publicly and ended up putting Erdoğan in a difficult position domestically (similar to a scenario in which let's say Netanyahu publicly praised Erdoğan).
︀︀
︀︀Erdoğan’s political legitimacy relies mainly on his ability to cultivate relationships abroad, yet for domestic audiences he still needs to maintain an anti-American, anti-imperialist (and anti-Israel) persona. Public displays of closeness complicates that and it is what happened here.

Quoting Steve Hanke (@steve_hanke)

MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch)

Trump just threw a massive wrench into the Iran negotiations. In a lengthy new post, Trump said it should be “mandatory” that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and others sign onto the Abraham Accords as part of any deal involving Iran.
︀︀
︀︀That comes after Trump reportedly stunned leaders of several Arab and Muslim nations during a Saturday conference call by demanding they normalize relations with Israel if an Iran war deal is reached. According to U.S. officials familiar with the call, leaders, especially from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan, which do not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, were caught completely off guard.
︀︀
︀︀“There was silence on the line and Trump joked and asked if they are still there,” one official said.

Significant fire damage to the launch pad, tower, and other infrastructure can be seen - which will undoubtably require months of repairs - while debris from New Glenn lay scattered around LC-36.

An old, but apt fable:

︀︀A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia
