Its 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.

They have to be removed...
I had thought this would blow over but it just might be a turning point for France
Quick! Get Al Gore over to France to calmly reason with these rebellious “yellow vest” people rioting in the streets!
Al Gore’s quiet demeanor and good manners will shame them into compliance.
(Do I HAVE to put on the “< /sarcasm >” tag?
France has its own deplorables? Who knew...sacre bleu!
NeoCons are blaming Putin/Russia for this. Never blame their own globalist & destructive policies.
Macron the homo moron wants to be president of Europe, not France. He won’t be the latter much longer, G-d willing.
Macron might want to think twice about bringing in the army.If they don’t come when ordered then it really is game over.
France and macron deserve each other.
Probably not.
People vote for socialism to get other peoples money.
It looks like these rioters aren't getting someone else's money, but are footing the bill for other people's ideas, and they don't don't like it. - Tom
And let’s not forget the yearly looooooooong vacations.
“The protests started out as a rebellion against fuel prices”
“Quick! Get Al Gore over to France to calmly reason with these rebellious yellow vest people rioting in the streets!”
France is a powder keg.
He tries that and the whole country will blow wide open.
that’s probably going to happen anyway.
France elected the French Obama and macron embraces the immigration, taxes, climate change, pc, gun control and all the other policies dear to the heart of liberal socialists. The frenchies got exactly what they voted for....did I hear correctly that the price of gasoline was programmed to go to $49/gallon as the increasing punitive taxes phase in??? Sacre blue....when the demonrats get back in power over here it will be worse...
Dont see them anymore though.
That would explain a lot.
Let's hope SOMEONE over here besides us is taking notes.
I suspect 'the world' is few up with their 'elites' just like we are in the US...
“It all started on November 10 when thousands of demonstrators demanding lower gas prices and taxes marched on the Champs-Elysees.”
Oh, we’re well beyond the original reasons for the demonstrations now. Macron could repeal the gas tax at this point and the demonstrations would continue.
A bas les aristos!
