'Ware the Russians. And your internal enemies, who will be relentless. The Russian/Nationalist alliance isn't going away.

However, I've concluded our Constitution, with electoral college, is not as perfect - wonderful- as we profess it to be.
French voters may also have learned from the (horrible) experience of their American cousins.

Second, he deserves full credit for showing the world what can happen to a country when a right-wing blowhard takes it over.

(65,180 posts)They paid no attention to the last minute leaks. In fact, they might have helped Macron.
I hope he faces some resistance over policies easing labor laws and cutting spending. But just like Hillary is much better than Trump, Macron is much better than Le Pen.

(25,771 posts)am trying to learn this as well as I can from the lyrics
I especially like the part at 3:18 about the cool
French accents they have
I told you that my French needs work bigly.
This is very inspiring and as someone said in one of these threads,
the French have the best national anthem.

(2,959 posts)So thankful for the truly enlightened French.
Germany is next. I believe Trump has contaminated the future of the despised Alt Right movement that this country is too uneducated to understand. Hate is all these cretins know after listening to hate radio/Fox 24/7. It is up to the rest of the NATO nations to save the world from the monied interests.
Sadly, I feel this nation will not recover in my lifetime from the damage Citizens United, & T***p presidency has caused.
