A protester's hand was blown off by a police crowd-control grenade on Saturday as the nationwide demonstrations against the higher cost of living and school conditions turned violent. According to France’s biggest trade union, the CGT, some 800,000 people are taking part in the protests. Follow our liveblog for the latest updates.
Plenty of good stuff from the froggies. They're tearing it up!

Gracias por su cooperacion.
All because of the dripping faucet in my bunker that's been leaking since at least 2023. (Cheap slumlord bastard!) And the only reason the cheap prick is doing this is because Bldg. & Safety (in their first inspection in six yrs.!) wrote them up for it, in January!! Other incompetence: Lying assholes first claimed they'd be here 1 Oct. Didn't show, didn't call. 16 days later ...
Swept? A fucking sweep? Not seven games of hard-fought ball? Well, just like this reporter, they are old & tired. Maybe a bit o' hubris involved as well, talking "three-peat" so much.
OOOOOH. Maybe the Dodgers shouldn’t have visited the White House LOLOL. Here’s me celebrating.
I hope the Guardians beat the Devil Rays & provide an all-Midwest series that no one will care about except the residents of Wisconsin & half of Ohio, & Fox Sports loses big.
Perhaps this abomination will be balanced by a Democratic sweep next month.
Might be worth a Netflix subscription. $8.99, cancel anytime. "... Our most affordable, ad-supported plan". Even if one cancels immediately after watching, do the greedy bastards keep one's initial $8.99? Is there enough for a month's watching? Nope, looks like 14 yrs. of crap in which I've no interest.
Officers in riot gear clashed with youths who set up street barricades using burning trash bins in Albania's capital Wednesday, with demonstrators joining a broader anti-government campaign for a second day, opposed to a development project linked to "U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner." (AP video shot by Erijon Xhabafti)
Albania: The masses hate the gummint & the opposition, & the prime minister has nothing to offer. Sound familiar, other than our non-leader spends two hrs. at rallies blabbering to show he has nothing?
Albania's capital burns as protests escalate — Police have been criticized for alleged use of excessive force against protestors and journalists. — TIRANA — Student demonstrations in Tirana spiraled out of control Wednesday as protesters clashed with police for over 10 hours …
holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy" https://t.co/DI1TG2uGBH
Compare & contrast:Happens all the time at Democratic events too, doesn't it? No? Are you sure? Trump's always talking about "radical left-wing violence".
Reporter: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire but both sides say they have not. Trump: They agree. You know why? Because I said you agree. That’s why. They agreed because I said they agreed. https://t.co/vT4K7aTdla
What's w/ these pople? Demented Don thinks he's Gawd, House Speaker Johnson thinks he's Moses. What happens when The Great White Father-Who-Thinks-He's-Gawd finds out no one but his cult's adoring worshippers listen to him? Or when the Nazis have their asses beaten good in the midterms? I'd imagine he'll do something very stupid & destructive, w/ "Moses's" acquiescence & I hope they do. It'll be just what the cretins voted for.
Trump’s Mental Decline Is Now a National Emergency (w/ Jim Acosta) by The Bulwark
Thought this would link to the video. Best bet is to go to the post & watch the almost 10-min. preview, which I was able to watch w/o giving them my e-mail address.
However, that has not been all. The US aid for Russia has extended to outright diplomatic support (all those UN votes, the Putin red-carpet visit, etc.), to spreading Russian disinformation (most recently by Marco Rubio this week), to even manipulating Ukraine and Ukrainian allies into doing what Russia wants (hopes and dreams in the USA). Yes, there have been limited crumbs thrown Ukraine’s way, but these have been to keep leverage over the Ukrainians, to see if they can be bullied into doing what Putin wants because of some deeply misguided hope and belief in the USA.
The truth of US behavior has been that the US has been helping Russia, but until now more by hobbling Ukraine and its partners. Now, the US is coming out as a more direct supporter of Russia—and in the process it is blaming the Ukrainians for that. The diesel issue is not an end in itself, it is a means to an end. Understand that, and you understand it all, it is a means to an end. Understand that, and you understand it all.
You'll have to go through some damn "Gimme yer e-mail" bullshit to read the whole thing. One of the many reasons I say "Fuck everybody & everything to hell & back!", over & over & over & over & over, again & again & again.
I despise you all 24/7; why should I wait until Friday to express my horror & disgust? And I needn't add anything to the message; it's so simple & true even you brain-dead sheep get it.
It's an Amazon finger, so a tribute to Jeff Bezos. ++Fuck him!!
