Gerard Araud, who is the serving [French] ambassador [to the US], tweeting his astonishing remarks as forecasters predict the Republican billionaire will defeat Hillary Clinton.

The 63-year-old said: "After Brexit and this election, everything is now possible. A world is collapsing before our eyes. Dizziness." (Après Brexit et cette élection, tout est désormais possible. Un monde s'effondre devant nos yeux. Un vertige.)

If I were him, I would worry about France being overrun by radical Muslims.

Coming from a cheese eating surrender monkey I’ll take that as a compliment.

It’s YOUR world that’s collapsing, Froggie! America just caught her breath! Pack up and go back to France as you’re no longer welcomed here.

It's not his job, he's an ambassador. But in the past one could never expect from a diplomat anything more than: "We respect the choice of the American people and hope for continuation of... blah-blah-blah".

On the other thread where DU went down due to “a Trump supporter hacker”, I voiced my belief they intentionally shut their own website down, much the same way Cornwallis refused to participate in the surrender ceremony to Washington at Yorktown...:)

They have a collective “headache”...

I agree. This is atrocious behavior.

They think history began this morning, so the parallels zoom right over their collective, pointy little heads.

Glad you got my reference, I was beginning to worry, lol.

Nope...it was great to see someone saw that exact same parallel on this day! I enjoy things like that when you don’t have to hit someone over the head with it to get it across!

I know Ann Coulter is out of favor in many corners, but you have to love her style when she mentions how the French were saved from the annoying sound of Nazi jackboots as they drank their coffee on the Champs Elysées in Paris...:)

Dear Gerry,

You Gauling (galling) little cabbage. If you REALLY are that disappointed, just resign your position and return home! America won't miss you.

And BTW, expect something like this in your own lilypad during YOUR election.

Adieu,

AFPC

Of course they did. I admit I went there just to see how bad the meltdown was, knowing their history of closing the site when things don’t go their way. The stupid claim of a right-wing/Russian hack made me laugh. It was a total admission of defeat.

I want to say I stayed awake until Donald’s acceptance speech. After 4 hours sleep, I came online with the hope of some sort of civility. It hasn’t materialized. The next 10 weeks are fraught with danger.

Enjoy the victory. Do not let down your guard.

Generally speaking, if something makes the French upset it is probably good for America.
