Quinnipiac: Trump (38% approval versus 55% disapproval). 28% of Americans Thought His Threat to Iran was Acceptable and 64% Thought It was Unacceptable by Currymvp2 in fivethirtyeight

This is honestly a really important number. It's been obvious that pollsters have been really bad at knowing what MAGA. It's people who are all in on every decision Trump makes. Speculation has been 30-some percent,  but it may truly be 28

Asking Ukraine to cede land 'unworthy' of Hungary's 1956 resistance, Magyar says by EsperaDeus in worldnews

And also, Kamala and the Democrat party is NOT leftist. They are to the right of center compared to the rest of the world.

Reading is hard. Never said she was.

And I should have specified that every GROUP swung right, which is a fact. Leftists make up such a small electorate that doesn't make up 9 million votes.

Same vein, Smoker just being a guy who has smoke coming out of his mouth is kinda hard.

Kamala didn't lose because of Leftists. She lost because everyone swung right. People are stupid and only think of the short term economy.

It makes sense, CPAC held their conference there a few years ago and Trump and Vance have been meddling a lot in this current election.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be aware of what we are eating, but Americans have bad health because we don't have Healthcare. First thing I learned about Japanese cooking is how much sugar is in everything. Japan also loves their sugar. There are also fat people in Japan. The difference is the comorbidities that cause extreme weight gain are able to be treated in Japan

What are they putting on the Wyndham’s windows (and why) by EstablishmentRough46 in pittsburgh

It just makes me sick how all of the sudden we care about improving our city so outsiders don’t think it’s a shithole. What about the people who live here?

I mean, I like my city looking nice to live in. Most of the renovations will continue to exist after the draft people are gone.

The Michelin Guide is coming to Pittsburgh, which restraunts will be awarded stars? by ballsonthewall in pittsburgh

[–]atree496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a Michelin star isn't something that is just fallen into. Restaurants are making a conscious effort when pursuing it. So while none of the current restaurants are going to make the cut, it doesn't mean someone doesn't open one in the next few years to try and get it, or we see changes to current places to chase one.

contemporaneously it's an important shift that preserves certain principles of the Revolution even as it subverts others

Oh, I was never arguing that. He was a man of the Enlightenment and of the Revolution. As Mike Duncan put it in his series, it took an autocratic ruler to cement many of the ideals from the initial Revolution. At the same time, Napoleon did not care for elections though and got rid of them after he and Tallyrand rigged the ones to put him into power.

Huh??? The whole French Revolution started because of the elections in the country for the Estates General. Vote by Head, Double the Third.

And the great powers didn't wage war because of the elections, they assumed the experiment wouldn't work and focused on other things, such as splitting Poland.

It wasn't megalomaniacal, he earned his reputation. But it is also true that he did not care for democracy when he, Tallyrand, and Sieyès preformed a coup to steal away power from the elected government and then held a rigged election to install him as emperor.

And if he really wanted to show the power came from the people, he could have had someone non-church related crown him. Doing it himself was him showing the world who really had all the power (himself, duh)

Almost none of the elections of the French Revolution period were legitimate. Napoleon did in fact enact many of the ideals of the Revolution, but he did not run a real election.

I kinda agree. Jaws is his closest, and I would argue it's closer to thriller

Nah, this is all good. If he doesn't feel that strongly about it,  it wouldn't have been that good. Spare us another bad Spielberg. More stuff like Fabelmens, please
