France in Flames: How Much Longer Will Macron Remain in Power?

IWB ^ | Bob Shanahan

[jeffc]

Liberals never quit, they think they deserve to be in power.

They have to be removed...

[rrrod]

I had thought this would blow over but it just might be a turning point for France

[alloysteel]

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?

[hal ogen]

France has its own deplorables? Who knew...sacre bleu!

[Trumpisourlastchance]

NeoCons are blaming Putin/Russia for this. Never blame their own globalist & destructive policies.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Macron the homo moron wants to be president of Europe, not France. He won’t be the latter much longer, G-d willing.

[Farmer Dean]

Macron might want to think twice about bringing in the army.If they don’t come when ordered then it really is game over.

[353FMG]

France and macron deserve each other.

[Capt. Tom]

Have the French finally had enough of big government socialism?

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

[353FMG]

And let’s not forget the yearly looooooooong vacations.

“The protests started out as a rebellion against fuel prices”

It was not because of “fuel prices”, idiot so-called journalist. It was because of fuel TAXES.

[miniTAX]

“Quick! Get Al Gore over to France to calmly reason with these rebellious “yellow vest” people rioting in the streets!”

You are not so off the mark. Next week end, the French watermelons intend to lead a “climate protection march” to demonize fossil fuels. If they don’t back up, it will collide with a another massive march organized by the yellow vests who want more fossil fuels. Ambiance...

[metmom]

macron needs to bring in the army and retake the streets. he’s running out of time.

France is a powder keg.

He tries that and the whole country will blow wide open.

[JohnBrowdie]

that’s probably going to happen anyway.

[TnTnTn]

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...

[hinckley buzzard]

There used to be surveys from various countries around the world showing that other countries, including France and Japan, had higher rates of skepticism about Global warming than the US.

Don’t see them anymore though.

[metmom]

did I hear correctly that the price of gasoline was programmed to go to $49/gallon as the increasing punitive taxes phase in???

That would explain a lot.

Let's hope SOMEONE over here besides us is taking notes.

[GOPJ]

... with 84 percent of the French public calling it “justified,” according to Odoxa-Dentsu poll for Le Figaro.

I suspect 'the world' is few up with their 'elites' just like we are in the US...

[Tallguy]

“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.

[Jimmy Valentine]

A bas les aristos!
