That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”
