I've heard that the Democrats must name a substitute no later than this week. The way Haffner is dawdling shows that he doesn't give a shit about the party. Like Trump, what matters is his ego.
Nationally, Democrats have just given up in races they were told they couldn't win. This has been going on for decades. It's left the party without a lot of young talent, particularly in 'red' places.
In this case, add a candidate who had a bunch of social media shouting down any concerns about him, and we wind up where we are now.
Dr. Zoom, much as I like Adam Gropnik, on this one, he screwed the pooch. I hate Harry Turtledove Alternate History, but the Pierre Trudeau period of Canadian politics, including the Meach Lake Accord opera bouffe, was something I am glad I only observed from afar. Preston Manning for Ross Perot is probably a wash, and Carl Lewis was juicing like Ben Johnson was juicing, and Stratford with Shakespeare and Gilbert and Sullivan sounds much better than Branson with the Living Dead dinner theatres, but Ottawa couldn’t have saved us. Lawyers wearing 5 pound wigs? Imperial gallons? Loonies? (US didn’t like Walking Liberty, Susan B Anthony, or Sacajawea Dollar Coins. Americans wouldn’t go for a coin with a bird on it.) Remember the dust up between Stephen Harper and the Governor General? Remember what a hoser Harper was?
Likewise, Rupert Murdoch may have left Oz, but his media empire has kept a propagandistic hold on things while he was conquering the media in the UK and the US. Since Gough Whitlam fell in the CIA influenced election, the Liberal-National Coalition has really fucked things up. John Howard was OK, but some of the others?
But I understand the sentiment. It took less time to get rid of Boris Johnson than it has Trump.
"Trump’s first administration delayed the redesign until at least 2026, citing the need to incorporate new anti-counterfeiting technology into the new twenty. When President Joe Biden took office in 2021, the White House press secretary said the Tubman bill was a priority; the date of planned debut, however, slipped again, to 2030."
I hate when my chips are back to the "pullback or breakdown" line. They are not healthy, I know, but after soup or a sandwich, I may still be a bit peckish.
They are a French-Canadian experimental rock-ish duo that uses a microtonal scale and all kinds of electronics. Their getups need to be seen to be believed.
If you have a horse parade past where Nigel keeps his car, but it's only an illusion, then you have a Farage Garage Dressage Mirage.
Have it in the garden and you get a Farage Garage Dressage Mirage in the Pottage.
Is it also perhaps an homage?
The Canadian Who Steered Europe Away From the U.S.
Facing threats from Trump, Mark Carney emerged as a central figure in a project to reshape the Western alliance

Yeah, we probably do need to spend some time in a corner thinking about what we've done.
LBC show, also talking about income inequality and the need to tax the wealth

We could have been Canada
Or Sierra Leone
Ta, Dok. I'd rather New York were Nieuw Amsterdaam, because I'd love to be Dutch.

Why’d they change it?
I can’t say
People just liked it better that way.
Best Mandolorin remake ever
I've wondered this for years: how did the Democratic Party of Maine devolve into a clusterfuck?

We may not have noticed, but lately politics in the US have become hopelessly fucked.
Seriously, reading about this is bananas. Total failure of party direction and leadership.

Speaking of currency: "The Trump administration has dropped a 10-year-old plan to put the face of famed abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, Spectrum News has learned." https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/politics/2026/07/06/trump-admin-says-it-has-abandoned-plans-for-new-tubman--20-bill?utm_source=buzzfeed&utm_medium=iframely
If the southern racists are too triggered by Harriet Tubman, how about using William T. Sherman?
Such blatant self-promotion will not go rewarded!
I thought they nixed that idea in his first term.
"Trump’s first administration delayed the redesign until at least 2026, citing the need to incorporate new anti-counterfeiting technology into the new twenty. When President Joe Biden took office in 2021, the White House press secretary said the Tubman bill was a priority; the date of planned debut, however, slipped again, to 2030."
Fuckers.
The Ewe Kay has Binface, while we have the orange Fartface.
While our Department of WAR!!! is run by a broken boy named Shitface.

Was really hoping it was pronounced "Bin-fa-che". Just would have been funnier to me somehow.
only in Wales
I would imagine it's spelled "Binwlllddyd" in Wales, and pronounced "Bin-fa-che"
Ya gotta watch those Welsh. They put cheese on rabbit.
nom nom nom
Does Count Binface take his fashion cues from Angine de Poitrine?

Other way around. Binface has been doing this for a long time.
Luv them.
Their drummer is really amazingly good.
Worst episode of Yes, Prime Minister ever.
“I came in 7th out of 14!” is a pretty good brag, actually.
Hell, you hit 7outta 14 in any series you're a gawdammed hero!
OT:
I was going to do my volunteering this morning at the local place, but I felt a bit too overheated and did not get quite enough sleep.
Since the Platner business, I've in a weird place. I am starting to get a little bit better overall.
