He's as demented as ever. At some point, he will... go down as the single craziest, sickest, most dishonorable political leader in our history, and people who voted for him will have to live with that or die with it.

The report found that Republican attempts to tie moderate Democrats to the left's most extreme and unpopular elements, such as calls to defund the police, worked. The problem was partly their own making because Democrats failed to explain where they actually stood on police funding and many other issues, other than opposing former President Donald Trump.
“Win or lose, self-described progressive or moderate, Democrats consistently raised a lack of a strong Democratic Party brand as a significant concern in 2020,” the report’s authors wrote. “In the absence of strong party branding, the opposition latched on to G.O.P. talking points, suggesting our candidates would ‘burn down your house and take away the police.’”
In addition to faulting polling that fueled Democrats’ overly rosy expectations and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, their 73-page report found that a drop off in support from some minorities likely cost the party some key races in places like California, Texas and Florida.
Campaigns typically separate potential voters in two buckets, with different strategies for each: swing voters and base voters. Swing voters are targeted early with messages designed to persuade them. And base voters who are thought to already agree with the campaign are usually targeted later in an effort to simply motivated them to show up.
But the report argues that minority voters need to be persuaded, too, both to vote for Democrats and to vote at all, since many often feel their vote won’t matter. Activists like Stacey Abrams have been pushing Democrats to stop viewing Black voters as simply needing to be motivated to show up.

Let’s see if Israel will actually prosecute its corrupt politicians unlike the U.S. This doesn’t mean anything changes in Israel but it’s a step in a different direction (not sure if it’s better yet). And this is an example of why electing Joe Biden makes a difference. Bibi wasn’t going anywhere if Trump was still in office.
