Parcel Bomb Explodes in Lyon, France, Wounding Eight

France 24 tries to connect this to the upcoming European elections.

That seems optimistic.

President Emmanuel Macron called the blast an "attack" during a live Facebook interview, adding that no deaths had been reported "for the time being".
The area where the explosion occurred, on a narrow strip of land between the Saône and Rhône rivers in the historic centre of the city in southeastern France, was evacuated and cordoned off by police, according to AFP journalists at the scene.
A police source told AFP the package contained "screws or bolts" and had been placed in front of a bakery near a busy corner of two popular streets.

The bomb was placed on a pedestrian street. Per LeFigaro, they're searching for a 30-year-old man on a bike.

The man being sought is in his 30s, according to an aide to the maire of the 2nd arrondisement [district]
Contacted by Le Figaro, Aurelie Bonnet Saint-Georges, aide to the mayor of the 2nd district of Lyaon, confirmed the investigation of a suspect on a bike. "It's a man in his 30s, who had set the package, his face covered, around 9 a.m. on Victor Hugo street," she added. "The videosurveillance images are in the process of being studied by the police at this very moment, the police are also going to retrieve the footage from the hotels on the street, for retracing the pathway of the individual before setting the bomb," added the mayoral aide.

Translation mine.

That's really not news. Everyone has known since the beginning that Barky was not only involved, but the main perpetrator of all this. They all worked under Barky and did his bidding. And Barky was one of the loudest pricks during the campaign pushing the laughable "Russian hacking/Trump treason" ideas.

I'm not a big one on the testimony of known traitors and liars.

Barky has been clearly guilty (not only of the seditious attempt to upend an election but of many, many, many other crimes) and there is not a person with two brain cells to rub who doesn't know it and shouldn't find him guilty in a court of law of any of these myriad offenses.

But the Vichy GOP has been dead set on letting Barky get away with everything and even most of the decent conservatives have been scared out of speaking the truth about that treasonous, America-hating sack of shit who was never eligible to sit in the Oval Office, to begin with.

Having been to Paris about a dozen times between 2000 and 2008, I can say that there are always a few rude frenchmen, but then again, they stay aloof because it is there culture not to be nosey busybodies, like a lot of Americans.
I can also say that visiting a lot of shops, museums, trainstations, etc, that a lot of French people are very nice and friendly, once you smile a little and break down the wall.
They are people. Some good, some bad. I knew a lot of French people in my company, and once you got to know them and understand their attitudes, most of them were actually pretty nice. They are NOT Americans, though. So stop expecting that.

I have also known a lot of rude Brits. I would say the Brits are generally more rude than the French. The Italians are generally the most friendly; most Italians genuinely like Americans.

Are rues Victor Hugo in France as sporty as MLK Boulevards are here?
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara

Nah -- not the same cultural association. The Rues Victor Hugo were all named back in the 19th century, before mass immigration, so those streets are randomly distributed throughout the urban landscape, not concentrated in the high-crime areas like the MLK Blvds are.

284 Obama's administration was definitely involved but I guarantee you he wasn't the brains behind me the operation.

Obviously, but Barky asked them to do things and then, when presented with what they were doing he said, "Cool, more of that!"

That's how Barky worked. But no one under Barky ever did anything that Barky didn't want done.

And Barky was the one who was raised in Indonesia and used to the concept that the government is run by a strong-arm dictator (his first political aspiration, as his ghost write recounted) and the government works to do nothing but protect the dictator and serve his interests.

We saw how Barky ran things in the way that HE pushed BarkyCare through. Everyone around hinm was convinced it was dead - 4 or 5 times, at least, but Barky (who had no AMerican sensibilities, at all, and didn't give a shit about our system or anything) just kept pushing it over and over until it was finally forced through. Even Rahm Emanuel was convinced that BarkyCare was dead the last time - when Scott Whathisface was elected to kill it. But Barky was immune to American notions of governance - even leftist American notions. That is who Barky was and how he worked.

Posted by: rickb223

The funny thing is that the "MLK Blvd." in the East Bay is an extremely long street, running for many miles, from Oakland into Berkeley. It used to be called "Grove," but when Oakland changed the name of their half of the street, berkeley decided to go along and change their half as well, to avoid confusion. As is typical, the Oakland half is in a very high-crime/African-American neighborhood, but after "Grove" street crossed into Berkeley it starts ascending the socio-economic scale, so that the final half mile or so is actually in a mostly-white low-crime upper-middle-class neighborhood.

Because of this accident of nomenclature/geography, the northernmost part of MLK Blvd. in Berkeley is probably the classiest MLK Blvd. in the whole nation.

366 >>So, if Rosenstein appointed Mueller to take the investigation away from McCabe, why was Trump so upset about it? And why did he choose Mueller, who is James Comey's friend and colleague, to serve as SC?

Trump says a lot of stuff he doesn't mean. That's just a fact. He does it to focus attention or get people talking about an issue he wants them to talk about.

I don't know if that was absolutely the case but look at the environment in the Spring of 2017. At least half if not more than half the country was convinced that Trump in some way was involved with Russia to swing the election.

There was little if any counter evidence available to the public. No matter how much he yelled or what evidence he showed that he had at the time few were going to be convinced with the media screaming this at the top of their lungs 7x24 and all 1492 Intel agencies agreeing it happened. There had been an investigation formally since July 2016.

He needed an unimpeachable source to announce to the world he had done a thorough investigation and found zero evidence of any collusion. Who does he pick, Rudy? Some other friendly source? Who would believe them? Hell, they are already turning on their hero Mueller.

But that's what he needed, someone nobody could say was his ally to say he was given full access, no obstruction, all the time, money and staff he needed and he still found zip.

And that is exactly what he got. A guy who wasn't an old ally, a guy he told everyone every single day for 2 years was leading a witchhunt to announce to the world that he was innocent.

Strategy isn't just for the left.

They always chose the main thoroughfare through the blackest portion of the city. Can you imagine the uproar if they had renamed Rodeo Drive to MLK Blvd.? Every black politician in the city would have thought all his Christmasses had arrived at once, now that he had the perfect issue on which to engage in demagoguery.

372 "That's only if you count ALL Latin Americans as non-White when probably 70% are white--that is European stock"

I forget how Coulter stated it, but her main point was that race doesn't matter, it is the (white/European) culture that made America great (along with our unique constitution, freeing us from king/pope ownership).

The "white" Latins seem to have a different view of liberty, imo. The have their own class in Central America. And the ones coming en masse seem to be more accepting/adapted to the socialist/cartel status. Some from Venezuela for example, are well educated and probably pro-Western ...

Just to calm everyone down, Obama will NEVER go to jail.

No matter if he was even at the meetings, instead of the golf course where he was usually found.

San Francisco City Hall is on Polk Street, in the center of town. Has been on Polk Street since the mid 19th century.

Then Willie Brown, our legendarily corrupt Mayor, declared that ONE SINGLE BLOCK of Polk street would be renamed to "Carlton B. Goodlett Place" - - the very block that City Hall is on.

So from that day forward, until today and on into the future, all official city addresses refer to "Carlton B. Goodlett Place." The name printed is everywhere. Except no one uses the name in real life -- it's just "Polk."

And who the heck, you may ask., is "Carlton B. Goodlett"? Why, he was a black newspaper owner WHO DONATED MASSIVE AMOUNTS TO WILLIE BROWN'S ELECTION CAMPAIGNS. That's who.

As a reward for his bribes, his name is forever immortalized on the most important city block in SF.

Willie Brown was the king of graft, the emperor of corruption.
