Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

I am seeing evidence of conspiracy theorizing and disinfo. galore going on about the count from all sides:
And keep in mind that many had warned that was one major Trump plan all along: make everyone distrust the process? So double check your facts before "j'accuse!" or you are doing what "they" wanted...

One of Yglesias's true talents is contrarianism in support of nuanced understanding. He's doing it here with some of the places I myself have been going:
but unfortunately he's not ready to offer any splainers yet: But probably for reasons that have not been as prominent in The Discourse.
I see some of his commentariart is equally interested, like this, hopefully someone will eventually dig up more

contra Yglesias:
And after thinking on what Yglesias said, many of the Dem or otherwise liberal voters of Oregon and Washington and Minneapolis would know that Biden does not at all agree that police should be defunded but that they should get MORE funding and training. Hence a vote for Biden among voters of OR and WA or Minneapolis who know more up close and personal the far left of BLM wanted, and would have probably paid more attention what Biden was saying about it for that very reason, could very well be a vote against "defund-ies" and for "law and order". And they may have heard such chants from protesters such as "fuck Joe Biden" and they may also realize that Trump fuels the problem with his rhetoric and by doing such things as sending in Feds.
But in many other less liberal places in the country, there may have been low info swings who bought into spin that Joe Biden was simpatico with "defund the police". And to think that most Dems agreed with the sentiment.
So I am still very much into believing what Tim Ryan says in the WSJ. It is a major reason, maybe the major reason, for the downticket and local losses by Dems, if not affecting the vote for/against Biden as much.
Edit to add: a reminder that Minneapolis has already worked through this and "defund the police" is already a kaput issue there.

Explaining vote count slowdown
As seen on twitter: Donald's only remaining path to 270 is losing 65 lbs - good luck with that.
Odd: so much of 2016 revolved around hookers, porn stars, and Hispanic immigrants, and here we are in 2020 waiting for Vegas hookers and Mexican roommaids to put Joe in the White House.
Turns out the fence they built around the White House was to keep Trump in. Appears two days silence is his record, doctors say affecting him worse than Covid. Meanwhile Twitter stock fell by 20%.
To combat certain shortcomings voting by mail this year, election officials are exploring voting by fax in 2022.
Several hundred illegal immigrants were captured after as waking into voting lines that snaked across the border.
With GOP retaining control of the Senate, Democrats are considering outsourcing the filibuster to CNN's election coverage team. McConnell is apparently ready to negotiate and compromise.

I understand she does it for her audience, but it kinda ruins the effect that you can understand her. "She ain't from around here..." Still, should be a bit compassionate - Georgia started as a penile colony - they're supposed to be dicks.
