Yet, while things look steadier in Berlin and Paris, Britain is suffering repeated aftershocks from last year's referendum decision to quit the 28-nation bloc, the latest of them threatening to engulf its prime minister, Theresa May, who is fresh off a calamitous, accident-strewn speech on Wednesday.

It has been widely noted that by submitting to this process—which began with secret bill writing, continued with secret horse trading, and now moves to a rule-bound debate over no tangible bill—Senate Republicans have enabled a calamitous erosion of democratic accountability without any clear substantive outcome in mind.

The opening night of the Democratic National Convention may have been as fraught with party tension as last week's calamitous Republican National Convention—but comparing the star wattage of the conventions' speakers so far is not unlike comparing a box of chocolate truffles to a bag of flaming dog shit.

James Buchanan, a wealthy bachelor, at all times courteous and dignified, connived behind the scenes even before he was inaugurated to help coax the Supreme Court into the calamitous Dred Scott decision of 1857, handed down a few days after his swearing-in and widely considered among the court's worst.

For Jeremy Corbyn, who gave his country a master class in extreme yet indecisive leadership and disastrous campaign strategy, last week's election will forever mark him as the worst Labour Party leader in history and the author of the party's most calamitous defeat since the 1980s, if not the 1930s.

A few paid tribute to Mr. Li by holding up handwritten signs, or by making brief speeches that praised him as a freethinker who had stood up to Mao — opposing the calamitous excesses of the Great Leap Forward — and pressed Mao's successors to take China in a more liberal direction.

Whether it's targeted treatments you dab on pesky spots with a cotton bud, intensive masks you can leave on to zap zits overnight, or daily-usage products that set the tone for the rest of your routine, sulfur is our new hero ingredient, banishing excess shine and calamitous spots from here on out.

Labour's feebleness has already contributed to Britain's most calamitous decision in a generation, that of leaving the EU. Although the party is pro-Europe, Mr Corbyn's half-hearted campaign to Remain (he is a lifelong Eurosceptic who voted to leave in 1975) was one reason that the referendum slid in favour of Brexit.

Each of those playoff forays had been defined, in one way or another, by calamitous defeat: to eighth-seeded Montreal in 2010; in seven games to the Rangers in 2012, 2013 and 2015; in consecutive series to Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017, despite finishing with the most points in the league both seasons.

Merkel has done so much to weaken Europe with calamitous fiscal austerity, economically lethal mercantilism, refusal to support and enhance Europe's growth and employment, the chaos of an open-door immigration policy and a rejection of reform measures designed to strengthen the EU and advance the epochal project of the European economic and political union.

In an age of seemingly endless natural and man-made disasters, the action-packed tales by Dr. LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins struck readers as all too realistic, even if they were based on biblical accounts of the Second Coming, the appearance of an Antichrist and multitudes leaving a calamitous dying world for heaven.

Because of the calamitous economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, people in poverty — which make up the vast majority of families involved with the child welfare system, and who may have held it together precariously before this — are suddenly unable to pay for rent, bills, or food, or find child care for their children.

" Without "a new spirit of resistance," the manifesto warns, these European elections "promise to be the most calamitous we have ever known — victory for the wreckers, disgrace for those who still believe in the legacy of Erasmus, Dante, Goethe and Comenius; disdain for intelligence and culture; explosions of xenophobia and anti-Semitism; a disaster.

The Democrats' calamitous defeat in last year's elections—not only losing the Presidency but remaining in a rut in both chambers of Congress and ceding further ground to Republicans in state houses, governors' mansions, and mayors' offices around the country—deepened a well of intra-Party bitterness that had become evident long before Election Day.

Wallace-Wells is a deputy editor of New York magazine, where two years ago he published an article on climate change that went viral, understandably so; in 7,000 eloquent words, he bluntly laid out the calamitous costs of doing nothing — or, perhaps more realistically and therefore more menacingly, of doing something but not enough.

The calamitous couple — who were planning to perform the lift at their upcoming wedding reception — attempted a dry-run of their Hollywood homage in the garden of a pub in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, on Saturday in a "spur of the moment" decision to "get a bit of practice in," Andy Price, 51, told the BBC.

Republican leaders adamantly opposed to Donald J. Trump's candidacy are preparing a 100-day campaign to deny him the presidential nomination, starting with an aggressive battle in Wisconsin's April 5 primary and extending into the summer, with a delegate-by-delegate lobbying effort that would cast Mr. Trump as a calamitous choice for the general election.

The United States must turn Turkey from this calamitous course — by leveraging its dependence on Western aid (Turkey was supposed to receive over 4.4 billion euros from the European Union during 2014-2020), highlighting its self interest in playing by the rules, and being firm about the costs of embracing the Russian way into the outlaw ranks.

JERUSALEM — The remains of an Israeli soldier who went missing nearly 37 years ago in a calamitous battle with Syrian forces in Lebanon have been repatriated, the Israeli military said Wednesday, healing a long-festering wound to the national psyche and handing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a unifying achievement just six days before he seeks re-election.

They look around and see a bleak political landscape: Parliament is deadlocked; Prime Minister Theresa May is still pushing her unloved Brexit plan, even though it has been rejected by her putative allies in the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland; and the frightening prospect of a calamitous no-deal Brexit seems to be gaining more credibility every day.

With over 10 million Americans participating in this system and several of the largest plans currently struggling, Congress should immediately seize the opportunity to act and strengthen these retirement plans, ensuring certainty and security for these hardworking Americans, as well as providing a means for individual companies to avoid calamitous liability issues that could potentially put them out of business.

As if that weren't enough, a paramilitary group named for Rodrigo Franco, an APRA martyr who had been killed by the Shining Path, was responsible, toward the end of García's term, for the assassinations of several suspected members of the Shining Path and the M.R.T.A. Political violence like this would have tested any head of state, but García's response was particularly calamitous.

In the New Yorker last year, Adam Davidson compared the FBI's raid on Michael Cohen (a case handled by the Southern District of New York, not Mueller's office) to the beginning of the Iraq occupation in 2003 and the start of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 — instances that marked the beginning of a calamitous disaster, which one could see coming if one knew where to look.

It's a gnarly set of challenges for Mark Meadows, but then again, each of Trump's three previous chiefs of staff saw their fair share of chaos: Reince Priebus often just tried to keep the administration afloat in its calamitous early days; John Kelly sought to rein in a boss he saw as mercurial and dangerous; Mick Mulvaney helped him stumble into an impeachment scandal.

Although Austria-Hungary fought on several fronts for far longer than anyone had expected (and outlasted the Russian empire by more than a year), the cost was calamitous: Once lively streets in multinational cities like Lviv, Cracow, Trieste, Zagreb and Chernivtsi — not to mention Vienna, Budapest and Prague — were teeming with pale, hungry people lining up for coal and food or selling off furniture for survival.

On the one hand, Dorothea makes sure, every morning, to check her stock prices, which suggests that the looming Reagan years may not prove too calamitous for her; on the other, she once excused Jamie from school on the ground that he was (so she claimed) doing volunteer work for the Sandinistas, and, after watching President Carter give his "crisis of confidence" speech, on TV, she pronounces it beautiful.

The decision will prove calamitous not only for more than 200,000 people who have lived legally in the United States for much of their lives, but it could also have catastrophic consequences for El Salvador and end up being harmful for the United States, as well, by making conditions so much worse in a fragile country that it would spark a massive wave of illegal immigration and a worsening in criminal activity.

This year, Obama's guests include a Syrian refugee, in acknowledgement of the calamitous situation in that country that has caused millions to flee their homeland, and a formerly undocumented Mexican immigrant who went on to serve in the US military — a potential dig at members of the Republican opposition who have expressed hostility to immigration and who have even, in the case of GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, suggested building a wall along the Mexican border to keep immigrants out.
