Trump is having a great time in France! Everyone agrees he is doing an excellent job of commemorating the war dead!https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/ww1-memorial-anniversary-trump-weather-macron-merkel posted:President Trump was not set to attend the French–German event, as he and the first lady were scheduled to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial, a cemetery about 60 miles from Paris where many American soldiers who died in WWI are buried. Or not.

Charge a few executives with manslaughter and the problem will solve itself real quick.

So I haven't really looked into this... is there any shred of truth to the claims that the reason California fires are as bad as they are is because environmentalist groups have been blocking efforts for controlled burns, which prevent fires from spreading?

The very act of fighting fires, which we have to do to protect human habitation, means that dead plant material builds up, and then eventually we get some mega-fire that sweeps through all that dead brush. But no, the real issue is climate change resulting in long periods of drought and higher temperatures.

Long story short, most likely. The entire enviroment of Californa was basically designed and developed by Native Americans in such a way that it needs regular controlled burns or everything goes to poo poo. The burns were regular enough, and old enough that some of the first spanish accounts mention how everything is on fire and the Native American groups are the ones setting them. They of course get pissed because it fucks up their ranching stuff. The practice basically ends by the Mission period due to obviois reasons. Part of it may be climate change, but its also heavily influenced by the fact we may have reached the point where the system is collapsing. You know how its looking more and more likelt the Amazon also has some heavily human designed and devloped forests? Same with California but it involves much more fire.

Kale posted:The problem with Chris Cillizza isn't that he's disagreeable, it's that his "analysis" is the absolute bare minimum to say you are kind of doing your job so you can stay in a position drivel. It's always the most absolute bleedingly loving obvious to even the dumbest most ignorant poo poo in the world "journalism". If you have even a fraction of a brain you can figure out just about anything he's tasked to "analyze" for yourself and probably a few more things on top of it in short order just by looking at the world around you for a few seconds. He's just the most useless and lazy loving pundit I've literally ever seen color commentary or otherwise. I dunno, I feel like what makes him suck is he writes/talks about politics like he's on ESPN. Which is extra loving disgusting and infuriating when it's stuff where people are being hosed and/or dying. Stuff like "HUGE win for the Elephants on Child Prison issue!", "Trump runs up the score on Muslim ban court decisions!". He's definitely dumb and shallow of course. He's kind of like Wolf Blitzer on cocaine. Which is awful.

They had set a specific time (11th hour of the 11th day) as the start of the cease fire, and yeah, people were still expected to fight up until that time. In practice a lot of the soldiers gave the sort of half hearted effort one would expect that soldiers would give, but there are stories of British and Americans going over the top and getting killed the day of. It was horrible.
