Ah, giving them welfare and homes is such poor treatment. This is an assimilation problem

It is an assimilation problem and giving them welfare and shacks does nothing to assimilate them.

I've mowed the lawn and washed the truck all that and I emptied the Icechest before the ice melted so I have to say that dang it all and all that was pretty good especially the part...

"the first missile into the aspirin factory screamed from the sky just as it reached apex .treeeeeent!!!!"

"as it crested and came hurtling back to Earth . LOTTTTTT!!!!!"

"as it neared the vacant building a small puff of "oh thank you..." (but that came from the Oval Office, from Bill Clinton... as he turned from the sink)"


(from the "small puff" part forward, it came from a Muse that I have never used before, after I posted it, I read it and I cracked my self up, so that is possible, I'm gonna keep that Muse)

Gnight

TT

Hey! Give them credit. They actually took 12 days to surrender. That's a record isn't it? What was it in WW2? 3 days? Less?

Gnight... for real this time

They left out the part about building large new high security prisons to house the permanent thug class and hiring more police to make the arrests.

This is the equivalent of a parent telling their naughty child that if they won't misbehave again he'll buy the child an ice cream cone.... Heaven help France if they elect Villipan President of France.... the guy is as bad -- or worse -- than Chirac.

My second thought was how listening to his speech all the working French just saw their taxes go up, up, up! Heck, it may be cheaper to stay home and collect the dole.

I would have responded earlier, but after reading the article- I had regain control of my uncontrollable giggling.

Strikes the right note? What the French leaders need to be doing in striking these rioters upside the head!

Uh-Oh, here I go again with the uncontrollable giggling again!

The French are on their own.

Wanna bet? The French will be crying on our shoulder, asking for men, materiel, and U$Dollars.

Just as they did in WWI and WWII, and we complied.

And W will send in 50,000 GIs and write a check to Monsieur Jock-Strap-Chirac for $200 billion.

If it's a rebellion by the impoverished underclass. I assume that there's a fair number of impoverished underclass white Christians involved in the rioting too?....


Or wait, France doesn't have any impoverished underclass white, Christians, or Asians, or Jews.......

This President will not help the French like you predict. They have turned their backs on us too many times during the past four years.
