Los Angeles, which hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984, will be home to the Games again — in 2028.

The organizers of LA's Olympics bid had originally been pursuing the 2024 games. But they ceded those games to Paris, and agreed to wait for the next round.

The decision will be officially announced on Monday afternoon. NPR's Tom Goldman has confirmed the successful bid with an LA 2024 official.

LA will be only the second city to host the modern Olympics three times. London became the first three-time Olympic City in 2012.

I mean if you're just a typically disengaged American, you might not even notice a different president.

Most government organizations (well, most anything really) are designed to be self-sufficient, to a degree. Otherwise you'd be in deep shit if people went on vacation.

The same with any company, really. People can get fired, managers can ignore you, etc. And you won't notice the difference for a while, or the problems can be shoved aside because they're not urgent quite yet. That's not a permanent solution though, just a time bomb you've put out of mind.


I think it's impressive that it's so widespread across an entire branch of government, but it also speaks to the point that a president is largely a symbolic figure and the presidents powers depend a lot on the people around them.

Nobody wants these except idiot mayors who want some sort of accomplishment.

Also, nothing has happened. When a crisis hits(like the BP oil spill or an earth quake), we will see exactly how bad this WH is.

I mean LA is one of those cities that could actually make use of the grounds after they leave so it might have some merit to have them there.

Whenever Trump tweets something reassuring in the morning, it means something is going to happen later on in the day.
