The specific place they are talking about, Gonghe County, is around 9,400 ft high (at least at the random point I picked within it off a map). The average height across the Tibetan Plateau is 14,800 ft, but that’s an average, not a minimum.
To be clear, it’s not the Supreme Court’s order, they only declined the appeal or to issue a stay, so technically it is a “regular” court order, which is just as binding.
There were elections during Assad’s regime, they were just single-party shams. First (hopefully free and fair) election in a long time, though, which I’m sure was your actual point.
I’m not saying that there is only support for AfD in east and none in the west, but there is definitely more support in the east: see recent state elections map.
A ton of AfD support is actually geographically split. Much of the support is in former East Germany, not in the west of the country. While their overall support has been rising steadily, this could have been a bellwether moment that showed that support rising to electoral success in the west. These results aren’t a mystery, they’re just not a simple as you would believe reading only headlines.
Sinclair was demanding one, so the fact that Kimmel did not apologize is significant.
I definitely understood their comment as “Israel claims everyone in Gaza as Hamas, so they’re more likely to die from a random airstrike than they are at sea”
I think the point is he doesn’t want to endorse someone before a primary happens. Presumably he will endorse whoever is the winner of the primary.
I’d respond that the parable of the Good Samaritan is specifically showing a “foreigner” (eh, nuance is hard) as the only person who helped the injured man, but that requires critical thinking and some historical context, so basically useless…
A Wild Mimic’s info is what you asked for, but for what it’s worth, you can just look at the election that happened earlier this year to see if it passes the smell test (and it does):
The AFD won 20% of the vote in the election earlier this year and then the incoming chancello passed a policy with the old parliament (as leader of the opposition still) that would change a financial rule that would have no chance to pass once the new parliament was seated (because the AFD and most of his own party opposed the change), so a lot of the people who voted CDU/CSU (his party) felt betrayed and said “fuck it, I’ll vote AFD next time”
To be fair…
It was about 12 years, but that is a relatively short time. It’s about the same time we have to deal with Trump from the beginning of his first term to the end of his second, which is also an eternity (assuming that doesn’t become a literal eternity). And the First Republic kinda sucked for a ton of reasons, but it was at least technically a Republic.
But also one of those reasons is that the Republic itself was at war with basically the entirety of Europe already, which is why Napoleon was able to rise to power in the first place: he wasn’t just a dude that waltzed in and said “make me emperor”, he was the hero of the army of Italy and basically was the major (unexpected) reason that France was able to defeat Austria.
Anyway, the point is that we don’t have a Napoleon waiting in the wings to just snatch up power if it came to, say, Jacobin actions, but Napoleon took time to emerge, so we’d have at least a few years of guillotines first…
Scott was confirmed on a party-line vote, with 51 Republicans in favor and 46 Democrats opposed, along with three absences.
Literally no Democrats voted for him…
It’s ambiguous but I did not interpret it as Trump posting the newsletter.
They’re not allowed to drive on regular roads
He’s literally not allowed to. Becoming president means you’re not allowed to drive (on regular roads) ever again, even after you leave office.

“The highest quality oil there is on the planet, and they only gave me a drop of it…so I’m not thrilled,” Trump joked.
This headline is such bad clickbait it’s basically misinformation.

So they’re all getting like a 50 million dollar package, right?
…right?
He did both. Luke 4 has him reading in a temple specifically, and Mark 14:49 (and other places during the passion) Jesus specifically says “why didn’t you come arrest me when I was teaching in the Temple?”
