Here I thought that the Deplorables were just unenlightened, greedy, racist, unscrupulous, etc., but this group (Bibi, MUSK, Drumpf, Mrs Bibi & son, and Widow ADELSON) show that feeling at home at Fox News in common is nothing, their real problem being some kind of clinical malignancy. And their lack of irony is now almost charming.
So MUSK has been drumbeating what a champion of free speech he is in buying Twitter, yet here he is firing his employees who have had a discouraging word about him.
And now we know why Bibi liked Drumpf so much, personal profile in common of lacking scruples and mores ASIDE - more like Bizarre Personality Disorder.
Seth MEYERS had a good line last night, to the effect that when Drumpf's traitors brought him more ideas for a coup, he said they were worth every penny. To which MEYERS added, We know you dont *PAY* anybody!

According to three unnamed employees and an email from SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell seen by the NYT, SpaceX fired some of the letter's organizers, but there's no indication of how many were let go.
"[SpaceX has] terminated a number of employees involved" with the letter, she wrote. "The letter, solicitations and general process made employees feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied, and/or angry because the letter pressured them to sign onto something that did not reflect their views. We have too much critical work to accomplish and no need for this kind of overreaching activism." .
In her email, Shotwell added that "blanketing thousands of people across the company with repeated unsolicited emails and asking them to sign letters and fill out unsponsored surveys during the work day is not acceptable. Please stay focused on the SpaceX mission, and use your time to do your best work. This is how we will get to Mars."
Employees are protected against retaliation by OSHA's whistleblower rules, but those generally apply to issues like safety, fraud, environmental issues and health insurance. Still, the firings are likely to create another round of controversy involving Musk.

. Not only does the libel case against Ehud Olmert pit two former prime ministers screaming at each other in a Tel Aviv courtroom it also highlights the explosive temper tantrums, alleged bullying, and lavish spending of Sara Netanyahu, the much-maligned former first lady. .
Olmert, Israels prime minister between 2006 and 2009 who was convicted of corruption in 2014, refuses to back down even as he faces more than $260,000 in damages if he loses. Among Olmerts defense witnesses is Miriam Adelson, Israels richest woman and the widow of billionaire philanthropist and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. Court documents suggest that Adelson is a witness to behaviors and expressions that led her to believe that the Netanyahus suffered from mental disorders. .
Its not like any of this is surprising Israelis, said an observer who did not want to be identified for fear of being sued by the Netanyahus. Everyone knows what the family is about, and their supporters simply dont care. They would continue to vote Bibi back into office. .
In addition to Sara, the Netanyahus eldest son Yair, 30, has been accused of trying to influence and bully his father when he was prime minister. Nir Hefetz, a former spokesman for the family who is also a state witness in Benjamins corruption trial, testified that Yair, a columnist and podcast host, once burst into a meeting that his father was having with other officials, and got down on all fours and began wagging his tongue in a show of contempt for his dad, who he felt was sucking up to those in the meeting. .
