Macron wins French presidency by emphatic margin: projections
Reuters ^ | May 7, 2017 | Sudip-Kar Gupta

Emmanuel Macron was elected president of France on Sunday with a business-friendly vision of European integration, defeating Marine Le Pen, a far-right nationalist who threatened to take France out of the European Union, early projections showed.

The centrist's emphatic victory, which also smashed the dominance of France’s mainstream parties, will bring huge relief to European allies who had feared another populist upheaval to follow Britain's vote to quit the EU and Donald Trump's election as U.S. president.

The 39-year-old former investment banker, who served for two years as economy minister but has never previously held elected office, will now become France's youngest leader since Napoleon with a promise to transcend outdated left-right divisions.

This ought to be good. Yet another country giving the reins to a globalist loser. Bye, bye France.

Why? France, like the USA is becoming, is a self inflicted wound. People who want everything free for nothing. But that golden goose egg is running out of money, all nations are. Soon this nation will do down the drain that all of the socialist nations are. We are nearly there. Try as hard as he might, Donald Trump will not be able to save this nation. The One Worlders are doing their dead level best to destroy the USA. The RINOs and republicans have joined the dims in doing it. There are not two groups anymore. Just the one large group of destroy America quickly, all housed in the US Congress.

Say goodbye to your wine and cuisine, France, because the Muslims won’t allow it.

Another man child is chosen to speed the invasion of Muslim terrorists into a nation state. France just swallowed a giant cyanide pill. 😢

Muslims make up 1 percent of the US.

Yes, Muslim immigration is a problem for the US but if you think our immigration problem is ONLY muslims, then you are mistaken.

Our immigration problem is MUCH BIGGER than muslim immigration alone.

The French continue to vote for their country’s suicide. Meanwhile, the jihadis are celebrating in Paris’ Muslim “No Go” suburbs...

Viva Franceghanistan.

They just collectively made the sacrifices of the WWII vets a complete waste of blood and tears. They would have been better off with the master race.

There are legislative elections there next month and the media spin is designed to hurt Marine Le Pen in next month’s contests.

The “hacking” story is also part of the assault by the Elites on anyone who would challenge their supremacy in the Western nations.

Le Pen did much better than her father did 15 years ago and the FN as a party will do much better than the two seats it currently has next month.

Le Pen father’s comments are those of a bitter old man angry that his child surpassed him. Many lives have been made miserable or wasted trying to deal with such insecure parents who feel threatened by their own children success.

There are books about Toxic Parents.

Don’t write off the French (and the EU) just yet. Remember Charles Martel and those that followed him who drove out the savages. Europeans are soft now, but we’ve been soft in the past as well. When they are pushed beyond tolerance I have faith that they will rise up and push out the invaders. It will be a rough century but Christ will prevail.

Would be profitable if we could go short on French treasury bonds.

“I guess this means I get to double down on my use of the phrase “shaking like a French soldier.””

French soldiers died in far bigger numbers than Brits, and surrendered less often. I hate that slander on the French soldiers. Only an idiot wholly unacquainted with the reality could say they have ever been cowardly.

Their generals and politicians, that’s another matter.

“Did Americans turn against immigration, foreign interference, and the establishment parties immediately after 9/11?”

Absolutely.

It still boggles my mind how NICE we are, after what those Moslems did.

There was some tough talk on all sides for a bit (including kibosh on the illegal-imm movement that had started then and was becoming all the rage at that very time, Bush had to stop his stupid talk), but of course, liberals comported themselves and became their typical equivocating enabling selves again by December.

More terrorism and hard times for France.

Exactly. The EU will die violently. Its only long term hope is another globalist American president to roll out American forces to defend the same globalist notions that are killin us. But the NATO+Caliphate alliance has set fairly hard now.

That guy would have been of age to hold the line in Verdun. Good odds that was a veteran.

Looks like the polls were a little off, in the other direction, he won by more than expected. So not only was there #nobutter, there was sand instead.

And behold, Islam's ill-conceived butt baby with Lady France.

Future French President/Emir Francois Mohammed Bin Laden. His campaign promise, fly in the Kabba and have it replace the Eiffel Tower.
