I know the Dem leadership has dreadful polling now, but I'd be curious to understand why anyone likes them or supports them. They believe in nothing but themselves.

Talk yo me about growing chili peppers. Is there a particular resource you can recommend? 🌶️
Happy birthday! 🎂🍾
Careful Ed, you're going to upset the Democratic collaborators who are keen to find common ground with the Republicans. Surely caving in to GOP demands will help this time, despite failing for decades.
A coincidence, surely....
Common ground what the fuck is this guy talking about?
I just made another big batch of ratatouille, but I had to find the supplies at the store. You're so lucky to have it all right on your doorstep.
That sounds really good!
If you do pasta, this sounds like a great way to cook them up. I haven't tried it yet but once I find the pale green courgettes from the south, I'll give it a try. youtu.be/axTodlHwxKo?...
After the rain, a very pleasant evening.
Sympathetic to the idea that BlueSky is a bubble (whether that is good or bad is a different question), but it at least reflects the preferences of users. X will only ever reflect the preferences of its owner, and these guys are kidding themselves if they think otherwise. bsky.app/profile/conv...
Does the EU not understand that caving in to a bully only encourages him? Why bother having laws if they're going to be pushed aside to placate a guy who changes his mind every day?
Besides it being the right thing to do, it's silly to cave in to the guy who changes his mind daily. It's a losing battle to play his game.
How dare you!
I remember once mentioning how cute a dog was back on The Bad Place and wow did I regret saying anything. Reddit has so many of the same kind of jerks who are the most miserable people around.
Enjoy the poo stick! It's so much fun, they limit it to once every two years.
Now that summer holidays are over and people are returning to the office, it's a good time to clear out those useless Linkedin connections with recruiters.
Me scanning my TL, reading the news and looking for any encouraging news about his health.
I wish the media would hound him about his obviously bad health the way they did with Biden who looked bad, but not this bad. Now that Labor Day is over, it's time for them to get to work.
Impressed to see someone as high profile as Nadler stepping aside. Would love to see more of this so we can have a new generation take up the fight.
Don't give me hope at this hour of the day.
I was telling my visiting niece and nephew about this, so perfect timing. When the strikes start I'll ride out near the SNCF depot along the canal where they will certainly be cooking up merguez on the line.
I love hot spices but it's true, it's not very popular here and people will moan about food when it's a bit spicy. The hot chilies in India arrived via the Philippines which was Spanish at the time. Spain brought new foods around the world. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Why-We...
Perhaps this use of AI is worth considering. AI is unmasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it? www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
He looks like he's in a daze this morning, in the photo that is out there.
I want it to warm up a bit so I can try swimming in the Seine one more time.
That all makes sense. I don't drive so really don't follow cars but I've heard his technological advantage has disappeared and other brands are less expensive. No idea why/how the stock price remains so high though, it's bizarre.
In general, I find that award (with wine too) to be the least convincing and it's often downright terrible. The national one is pretty good though and I've thought about signing up for being a judge (they pick dozens of people) but I haven't tried it yet.
That sounds like good news. That guy really blew his market when he went full MAGAt but the warning signs were there for a long time.
It's Monday so everyone needs a bit of cheery news. #Heartwarming Tesla's sales rout in some European markets continues for eighth month www.reuters.com/business/aut...
Everyone seems angry with the changes that were proposed (removing 2 public holidays) so we'll see, but September may be a tricky one. Maybe it will be solved by October? Always hard to say.
It's a little short, but for those who like to ski, they need to save a few more weeks for that season.
It's the local sport here!
Did a short ride along the canal this morning now that school is back. Overall fairly quiet and even saw a few grey herons fishing.
Apparently his golf outing with Gruden was the previous weekend! We're all shocked that he might have lied about something.
LOL but Parisians complain about everything, all the time! It goes without saying. 😂
But your point about Vance being worse is 100% correct. He's a monster. Definitely a support character though with his lack of charisma. I'm sure someone will emerge when Tr*mp goes but it's not obvious today.
I just talked about this with family visiting from NYC over the weekend. I explained the traditional cycle of strike threats (sometimes real) in June, but then everyone makes sure summer holidays aren't disrupted but then all bets are off in September. This one will be especially hot!
I wish I had more time there to explore the bike routes through the vineyards too.
He's worse in many ways but also doesn't hypnotize the GOP the way Tr*mp does and has the personality of a wet blanket. It's going to be a feeding frenzy when he dies and stepping in after a cult of personality is difficult.
I really like Strasbourg but haven't been in years. November should be fun out there! Keep me posted for your Paris visit, would be great to meet up again.
These are tricky times for travel! Hope she has a successful visit.
Temperatures may be cool but it's still going to be hot out there.
I'm cautiously optimistic! There's no way he broke his media addiction without a good reason.
Things are ready to warm up in France! Welcome back.
Let's hope McDonalds saves the day for all of us.
Sorry, *not* crowning him.
I didn't notice either this weekend, but admittedly wasn't really following them. Vance has been laying low after talking about his 200 days of experience has prepared him for the job.
It does raise questions! In the best possible way.
Still no photographers allowed to get near the guy who has been addicted to the media for years, plus a blatant lie about his golf outing yesterday with John Gruden that actually happened a week ago. Should we bring back hope again?
I've had a few Newsom bots already block me for now crowning him for 2026. 😂
This is encouraging news!
Even in peak season it doesn't get over-crowded.
my beach!
Oh no!
The US media did this for a few weeks after Nixon died until people lost their mind over this newly created Nixon, rather than the piece of shit they knew in real life. Then they changed the story and it was endless slamming of him so I hope we see similar.
It's funny that the guy who loves having cameras around, somehow kept them at a distance yesterday and wouldn't let them photograph his day of golfing. Hmmm...
Oh FFS he's so bizarre and that's such terrible advice. But everything he says is such terrible advice.
This is all I've seen but maybe something new is out since earlier. bsky.app/profile/arre...
I know they're lowering their standards as he builds a police state but is being a member of Meal Team Six really bragging?
I'd like to see him stick with his traditional diet of McDonalds and test the limits of his medical treatment.
Hmmm, maybe not happening today, but perhaps the Champagne stays on ice ready to go.
Hopes dashed...
Are they caught using nets?
Hoping he hasn't died, so we can enjoy him finishing his days in agonizing pain and unable to talk. Maybe they can do a PPV livestream of it.
It's floating around over on Xitter. Gives hope but it's probably a fake.
Mimo is an oyster aficionado!
It's a mystery! She somehow came out of her shell, especially with men.
An extra large dose of ivermectin just to be sure he shits his pants more than usual.
Bluesky right now ...
If he's not well and still alive, seems only fair that RFK Jr has to be the one responsible for his healthcare.
If it was, let's hope it gets shot down in court as one final fuck you to that asshole.
No stories! Just internet rumor mill since he hasn't been seen in public for a few days, isn't golfing and has nothing on his agenda. Just like the old days in the Soviet Union! There's a video on Xitter of someone on a stretcher coming out of the White House, but it could be old or fake.
I hope that video of a stretcher being wheeled out of the White House isn't real or really him, because that would deny so many people the opportunity to line the streets of DC and tell that fucker to rot in hell.
Social media rumor mill that the fucker is very ill or has died because he's been out of sight for 2 or 3 days.
Trump needs to post an unhinged, hateful all caps screed as proof of life
I will definitely laugh even harder on that day but it's true, this is a good trial run.
When it happens, this will be the couch fucker Vance.
I'm not getting my hopes up but still enjoying the memes this morning.
Tomorrow's press conference
Nothing specific, but he hasn't been seen in public for 3 days, plus has nothing in his agenda for the next few days and hasn't gone golfing again. If the tables were turned, we'd have the GOP + Fox yammering on endlessly about health concerns but because the Democratic leaderships sucks, nothing.
Mimo used to be that way and a few years ago, something changed and now she's all over guests who aren't kids. I still don't know how it happened.
LOL she was surprisingly easy going! She really wanted to meet the girls but they were having none of it. At home she has a dog so likes animals but Mimo has seen too many of the other kind of 1 year olds, so was not taking any chances.
When it happens, this will be me.
After hosting my niece & nephew with their one year old baby last night, the girls are super clingy. Mimo is no doubt planning her deep therapy sessions to recover after going into hiding during the visit. Blini hung around but kept her distance. Both were glued to me overnight and even now.
Huh, somehow his social media trolling team forgot about this.
Ohhh, I'll keep my eyes out for them. Sounds good!
OMG that pup!!! Just adorable.
I would be afraid of making a mistake and damaging that lovely little boat. It has so much charm.
Are they anchovies?
I was a student so didn't think too much about that but would definitely have that concern now. They can carry a lot of weight but they do have their limitations, which I was clueless about. The internet wasn't a thing so I never saw that video of someone making a mess in a warehouse with one.
That heliport is always busy in the summer. I think it's mostly transport from the Nice airport to Monaco and saves around 15 minutes. But it's always active.
I can imagine! Your family must have been thrilled about that one.
Yes, way too many of them. I happily voted to triple SUV parking in Paris and wish they would flat out be banned. They are meatgrinders on the street.
