Venice, Italy levied a tax on day-trippers to try and reduce crowding. It didn't work :/ -- (link) - Meg Jul 14, 11:29 1
- If you are flying across the world to visit Venice you are going to visit Venice whether they have a cover charge or not. - zeitgeist Jul 14, 11:56
So it's unclear if Trump was actually hit by a bullet or if it was shattered glass? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 14, 11:16 5
- I'm fascinated to see how this interacts with his narcissism and feeling of invincibility. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 11:23 1
  - This has crossed my mind. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 14, 11:30
- I haven’t seen any reporting that it was glass relying on anything other than that one initial tweet. -- nm - znufrii Jul 14, 11:21 2

  - Just like 2020 it’s always going to have been a referendum of Trump. - Dano Jul 14, 11:38

    - This is my instinct, but 2016 taught me I can be wrong. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 11:37 1
      - Like 10% for Kennedy? No. Fuck off with that. - Reagen Jul 14, 11:41
    - I’m not seeing the downballot polling that DSCC/DHCC are (but also who knows?) so I get the argument for trying to rescue those races - hollywood big shot Jul 14, 11:28 3
      - I see there being a lot of "up ballot" voting as people turn out for abortion rights and similar causes. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 14, 11:31 2

        At least from when they were relevant to me there were two types, subsidized and unsubsidized. They might have changed it since. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 14, 11:14 1
