> [@nunnehi](#): > > There’s no chance that Kemp guy won enough votes to avoid a runoff. On the day of that election, I said ‘if it doesn’t go to a runoff it’s rigged’. So, it was clearly a rigged election. Lol, clearly… Great circular citation there from nunnehi, the foremost authority on election rigging. (And I think there’s like a 99% chance very shady shit went down in Georgia, don’t get me wrong. When they wiped the data as soon as they were asked for it, that was a pretty big tell. The way you cited your speculation and opinion as clear fact just had to be pointed out.) ---

I’m looking at it as fact because it happened. Simple as that. Is there anything you don’t attack me on? And I’m glad you’ve changed your mind on what the Yay vote on tabling the Al Green resolution meant. Oh wait, that will never happen. ---

Yeah idk, I get that it’s an awful thing to happen. I have a generally macabre sense of humour. There’s an undeniable dark poetry of USA 2019 to a family from Arizona having their grandma blown up by the US military as a result of some guy’s grift. I also tend to think that our preciousness around death and ideas around the sanctity of bodies are detrimental, so to me there’s also a humour along the lines of poking fun at religious beliefs. But obviously I understand it would be traumatic for the family and think those involved should be prosecuted. It probably doesn’t make a top 10,000 list of the worst things done by the US military in the last decade though. ---

Police in Moscow have detained a leading opposition figure as she was heading to an unauthorised rally protesting against the exclusion of independent and opposition candidates from the Moscow city council election. Lyubov Sobol, who is one of the aspirants rejected from the ballot, was detained on Saturday in central Moscow and taken away in a police van. The rally attempt comes a week after police detained nearly 1,400 protesters, beating some of them with truncheons. Despite repeated warnings that police would take active measures against a protest on Saturday, activists aim to hold a march for about two and a half miles along the Boulevard Ring that circles central Moscow. > **[Russian police make hundreds of arrests at Moscow protest](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/03/russian-police-detain-opposition-leader-lyubov-sobol)** > > More than 800 detained in protest triggered by refusal to let opposition candidates stand in elections ---

Iran will take another step to reduce its compliance with a landmark 2015 nuclear deal, the Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said on Saturday, according to parliamentary news agency Icana. Iran has repeatedly said it will reduce its commitment to the nuclear accord in stages and may even withdraw from the pact altogether unless the remaining signatories find ways to shield its economy from US sanctions. Washington pulled out of the deal last year. > **[Iran to further reduce compliance with nuclear deal](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/aug/03/iran-to-further-reduce-compliance-with-nuclear-deal)** > > Foreign minister says Iran has been withdrawing in stages since US pulled out last year ---

In Yemen it is estimated that at least [85,000 under-fives](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/21/yemen-young-children-dead-starvation-disease-save-the-children) have died of starvation since 2015, a figure that numbs the mind.
