"DEEPLY DIVIDED right now" he said !!! Oh God I live here in Tunisia 🇹🇳 I must have missed something 🤨. Ughh I never saw this much happiness since more than 10 years ago, of course there's a few who aren't happy about that ( the people who sucked the money, life and blood from us until now ) but why don't you show our voices ( Tunisian citizens ) after all what happened huh!!
Wow !!! That was a fake and bummy decade of democracy 😶

Trump tried to Pull a Similar Coup,
but Fortunately Our System was
Barely Strong enough to Survive. 😓

Hmm, I admittedly know almost nothing about their circumstances, but “President fires prime minister and freezes parliament” never sounds good.

Was going for a tourist visit. Need to keep eye on this. Hoping they get it together

How is it a coup when everything he did is constitutional?! He threw out the thieves who have stripped the Tunisian people off their money.

Is MSNBC's reporter in Tunisia? If not, what location is he providing his report from? "Foreign correspondent" is shorthand for "could be anywhere, ".

RISE UP Tunisia.... FIGHT THE FACISTS (and

Most political problems are caused by democracies' use of primitive voting systems, which fail to count all the head-to-head majorities. Primitive systems count at most one majority. Both proportional representation systems (like in Tunisia) and the "two party" system are primitive. In pr systems, the party that wins the most seats in the election of the legislature is awarded power, even though (uncounted) majorities might prefer parties that won fewer seats head-to-head over the party that won the most seats.
The easy way to count all the head-to-head majorities is to let each voter express his/her order of preference, because the orders of preference imply how each voter would vote in each of the head-to-head pairings. This would result in a new kind of system in which politicians would compete to be the best compromise. It would minimize spoiling, so there would be a lot of candidates or parties who compete to be the best compromise. It would be neither a two party system nor a proportional representation system. It would disempower extremists, unlike the two party and pr systems. The two party system empowers extremists because the single majority (or plurality) that it counts often includes extremists in the winning coalition. PR systems empower extremist parties by letting them win some seats in the legislature, which are then often needed to be part of the majority coalition government that must be assembled after the election.

How about Biden today talking about how he worked for the Trump administration back in 2009 😳

The Tunisian President pulling off what Trump attempted.

[MrKolozal]

Middle eastern and islamic countries have two choice in life either dictatorship or islamic totalitarian system, when we have a choice we choose the less evil system which is dictatorship unfortunately.
