Interesting.

Kind of like how the Conquistadors took over the Aztec empire, by leveraging the hatred of the peasants toward the existing regime.

Joe watching Trump survive the atttack and realizing this means that now he will have to step down

Republicans are scared of the implications of an America that would elect her president.

I told my 2 year old that Joe had dropped out and endorsed Kamala and he said "That seems like a highly suspicious decision. Clearly she only got 2% of the vote in the primaries in 2020, she simply isn't electable and everyone knows it. I wonder if this is a strategic decision whereby the Democrats will essentially throw Kamala Harris into the volcano proverbially speaking so they don't damage the credibility of any candidates with any chance of winning 2028?"

Oh. 😐

"Our Sacred Democracy™"

Joe watching Trump survive the atttack and realizing this means that now he will have to step down

There is absolutely no possible way there is a connection between Biden holding out this long, only to finally throw in the towel days after a failed assassination attempt.

That is not possible.

She came across as nasty vs Pence and any clip I've seen she looks incompetent at best.

And that's not just me talking, Democrat voters wanted nothing to do with her when they were allowed a say.

37 other politicians, not presidential candidates, but yeah, the War on Drugs has devastated Mexico.

You think Harris helps her chances by speaking?

Things aren't that complicated, and everything makes more sense when you distill it down to the simplest reality.

>Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a swim in the Seine River on Wednesday this week in an effort to prove the "long-polluted" river was now clean enough to host swimming during this year's Olympic Games.

>Earlier this year the water showed unsafe levels of E. coli bacteria, AP reported.

>During her swim she was joined by swimmers from local clubs, Paris 2024 chief Tony Estanguet and the top government official for the Paris region, Marc Guillaume, the report says.

>Hidalgo said during the swim: “The Seine is exquisite. The water is very, very good. A little cool, but not so bad.’'

>She called the day “a dream” and a “testimony that we have achieved a lot of work".

>Estanguet added: “After twenty years of doing sports in the river, I find it admirable that we are trying to clean it up.”

>In preparation for the Summer Games starting on July 26 with a grand open-air ceremony featuring an athletes' parade on boats on the Seine, efforts are underway to highlight the river's improved cleanliness.

>As AP notes, swimming in the Seine has been banned for over a century and since 2015, organizers have invested $1.5 billion to prepare the river for the Olympics and ensure a cleaner Seine for Parisians post-Games.

>This plan included building a massive underground water storage basin in central Paris, renovating sewer infrastructure, and upgrading wastewater treatment plants.

This is not even the best part of the article:

>Originally planned for June, Hidalgo's swim was delayed due to snap parliamentary elections. During that time, the hashtag "jechiedanslaSeine" ("I'm pooping in the Seine") trended on social media as a protest against the Olympics.

>Previous attempts to clean the Seine, including a pledge by former French president Jacques Chirac in 1988, were unsuccessful. Hidalgo followed French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who swam in the Seine on Saturday wearing a full-body suit.

>Concerns about the Seine's flow and pollution levels continue, leading to daily water quality tests by Eau de Paris. Early June tests showed unsafe E. coli levels, but recent results have improved [how?]

>The Seine will host several open-water swimming events during the Games, including marathon swimming and the swimming legs of the Olympic and Paralympic triathlons.

I don't want to malign on such important events in the face of an imperiled Global Democracy™️, but I would find oddly deserving of France as a whole if Western athletes were to catch during the event treatment-resistant bacteria, causing such a degree of national humiliation to bring France to having, for once, to stop with the faux-Girondine rhetoric and to confront their own decline.

What reader do you use?

Haven't found a good one since Google killed theirs

Execs got a bonus for including them in the cost cutting plan.

Yeah, good point. They figured out how to benefit from the decentralization of RSS by placing the monetization inside the product.

So how come this didn't work for websites that monetize from ads?

Part of the problem is that they're just tourists so they think the Republicans win every court case they get to scotus, which isn't true -- if SCOTUS was just an organ of the Republican party, Trump would be just about to finish his second term in office.

Most people criticizing don't realize for example that the court has had an overwhelming number of cases that ended up being 7-0 recently, and there's cases where some liberal justices and some conservative justices combined to get a slim outcome. They're not politicians, they're judges and have a different view of the world. Under Trump most Republicans hated Roberts for example.

Many such people think they would have opposed the Nazis if they were Germans in 1936, while loving who the establishment tells them to love and hating who the establishment tells them to hate and not realizing their behavior would have aligned them directly with the Nazis in Germany in 1936.

Red is worse 😓

I don't understand the question and I refuse to answer.

It was only a matter of time.

Technical debt is so deep and piling higher, nobody knows how anything works anymore.

I wonder if GPT chat was involved with the update that supposedly caused this..
