“It wasn’t me who was attacked,” he later said. “It was the Republic.”

No, it was definitely you, Monsieur. They don't seem to like you or your policies. You'd do well to listen to them instead of to a few self-proclaimed "elites" calling for fuel taxes.

The natural end point of socialism.

Slouching toward Venezuela.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s forced to step down - with a 25% approval rating, Macron is living on borrowed time.

The Fifth Republic is facing its ultimate test.

La République has been under attack for a long time from those who would impose socialism on the beautiful country of France.

How many more times must countries play around with socialism before humanity, as a whole, realizes that it simply does not work?

[[[How many more times must countries play around with socialism before humanity, as a whole, realizes that it simply does not work?]]]

The problem is you now have generations brought up on it and addicted to it.

They are not into orange juice and chocolate bars.

Getting real.....

*******

“Macron’s government has been shaken by the unrest, caught off-guard when in November the yellow vests began blocking roads, occupying highway tollbooths and staging violent invasions of Paris and other cities on weekends”

“No, it was definitely you, Monsieur.”

I’m hoping his sister Turdeau in Canuckstan continues receiving the same well deserved treatment.

He has no credibility left and his latest proposals are akin to throwing a match on the powder keg.

It looks ready to explode. What in the world is he thinking? Worst thing you can do is turning the population AND the the civil servants against you.

Good luck with cutting unemployment benefits and public sector jobs.

Now let’s get real. The protests there now have been hijacked by socialists and leftists. What they’re asking for is more free stuff and raping the “rich”, more socialism.

Still anything that gives that pompous girl Emmanuelle grief is enjoyable.

‘Hooded agitators’ - sounds like Antifa (clones) are involved. Time to round the hooded ones up.

And our media is concerned that European elites dislike Trump.
