France in Flames: How Much Longer Will Macron Remain in Power?
IWB ^ | Bob Shanahan

It’s time to pay attention to what is going on in France right now.

On Saturday, the ‘Yellow Vest’ protests in Paris took over the Champs-Elysees. The protests started out as a rebellion against fuel prices but have since grown over the past few weeks into widespread civil unrest in the French capital and throughout the country. Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Vests have rioted and protested across France over the last three weeks.

It all started on November 10 when thousands of demonstrators demanding lower gas prices and taxes marched on the Champs-Elysees. Since then, the destruction has escalated, the crowds of protestors has grown, and the country has fallen into chaos. Nevertheless, the protests are met with a significant level of support, with 84 percent of the French public calling it “justified,” according to Odoxa-Dentsu poll for Le Figaro.

You know the whole Global Warming/Climate Change scam is complete bullshit when even the frogs are rioting about it.

Ceausescu would tell you that when the Army keeps reminding you that you're safe, you're going to die.

Had Hillary been elected this would be happening here, no question. Had Macron not stolen the election from Le Pen our success with Trump would be happening in France.

Mon dieu! The Frenchies are fighting harder than they did in 1940. Boy, they REALLY want socialism. And then they're pissed when they get it.

Allow me to be the first to correct you.

If you want that here, vote for an open borders new world order globalist.
An Obama is a Clinton is a McCain is a Romney.
Every one of those is going to the same destination, and their actions prove it.

It isn’t their party that truly matters.

Socialism has a price - a big one - Macron is just trying to collect it.

Macron needs to have a “Fireside” chat FDR style with his countrymen.

The Muzzie invasion, subsidies, and police protection for the citizens of France and to contain the Muzzie areas continues to be quite expensive for the government.

Depends on how big his cojones are, what they’re made of, and how badly he wants the power. It he doesn’t chase down and prosecute the people who defaced the Arc d’Triomphe, I’d say he’s done, but I’m less tolerant of failed leaders than the French.
