France actually died in 1918; that really was the beginning of its end and destruction forever.

Macron’s wife is a mother of three. Her first daughter is about a year older than Macron. Her second daughter was in the same class as Macron, when her ‘romance,’ with him first began [he and that daughter were both 15].

I heard there were complaints of many people receiving ballots for Le Pen which were torn when they received them, making them invalid.

The French voted their pocketbooks. They feared that if Le Pen won and took them out of the Euro, their retirement savings would suffer. They also thought Macron would "pacify" the Muslims.

Well, they may now lose everything anyway, including their country.

I couldn’t care less what happens to France. Or the rest of Europe for that matter.

This is the end of France. Within too short a time, it will be a muslim country and all that is historical and beautiful will be torn down and destroyed. Sad.

The cheese eating surrender monkeys will now get what they paid for. Will there be buyer’s remorse soon? Only time will tell.

Our best chance now would be to quit NATO, pull out of the UN other international organizations and bring our military home from foreign soil. After that, we would have to build the border wall across 100% of the southern border and also beef up our northern border, given that Canada is being run by a liberal girly man who won’t help us Christendom from the invaders. After that, close the borders to all immigrants not of the right stock and mindset. In short, we need to dig in.

Well the French Republic was birthed in a senselessly bloody orgy of murder and featured rejection of God with an idol of Reason. Not an auspicious beginning.

When you lose by one or two points, torn ballots are an issue, when you lose be 30, they are a distraction from the bigger problems.

it would take an astronomical number of torn ballots to move those kinds of numbers. oedipus is polling at 65%. those are South American dictator kinds of numbers.

no, france is just a f*cked up place, full,of f*cked up people.

I bet LaFayette isn’t even known to the average frenchman these days. Surprised Jean d’Arc is still nominally recognized there.
