2. DAD at 1171

a) “Sébastien Lecornu formed a government with defectors from the right and civil society figures, with the goal of submitting a draft budget within the allotted time.

Above all, France still does not have a budget for 2026, even though time is running out: according to the Constitution, Parliament must have at least 70 days to examine a draft budget before December 31.

b) That did not take long…

“We have tabled the motion of censure that will bring down the #Lecornu2 Government!

JH: Highly abridged version above of all the shenanigans in France. Once the rush of incoming eases, I’ll get down to that DAD history of current France … 1171, readers.

1. How confirmation bias can invalidate an argument

This is a case, imho, of “unproven”. The blurb, at Wall Street Apes, said: “Another California resident CONFIRMS, if you vote “No” on Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50 Redistricting Plan by their mail in ballots your “No” vote will show through the envelope Democrats can then easily identify them and throw them away “Look at that, they can tell exactly who voted no” The redistricting is gonna be RIGGED” and there’s a video below that, from which these are two sshots:

Between the two, the lady asks him to turn the sheet around and he does, quickly turning the envelope away with the second and the clip ends. There is not the same front on scrutiny of the first, just him saying, “There ya go,” and quickly moving the envelope away.

So sorry, there we do NOT go, not on that test. There’s certainly a double circle gap going on, meaning the ballots might be capable of being read by anyone … that’s so … but his bias in handling the two scenarios, again imho, invalidates the argument and hands Newsom supporters ammunition.
