French President Emmanuel #Macron’s call for new legislative #elections after announcing the breakup of the French #Parliament caught members of the National Rally unsuspected, FRANCE 24’s Claire Paccalin said, reporting from party headquarters.
@GottaLaff Can confirm that this is the case. In fact, as results came in, the gap between them widened. This is not a good day for France, never mind that the people have spoken.
An epic closing in northern France for the St. Augustine Marching 100. As the band gathered by their buses moments after walking in a D-Day parade in Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, the band marching behind them, the Voodoo Orchestra from Utah, gathered around the St. Aug musicians and began playing "I'll Fly Away.” An unplanned, organic, absolutely lovely moment. You should have seen the hugs shared between all the young musicians when the music and dancing finally came to an end.
While #Biden has so far avoided naming #Trump during his time abroad, he has increasingly warned of the dangers posed by the kind of #authoritarian & #isolationist impulses the fmr president has embraced in his push to return to the #WhiteHouse. #POTUS, who has said in the past that America’s very #democracy is at stake in the coming #election, …[has juxtaposed] #DDay’s 80th anniversary to sound the alarm about the advance of #antidemocratic forces across the globe.

Joe Biden aux cérémonies pour le D-Day...
Rappel : Les USA avait eu l'intention de faire de la France un "protectorat", ils avaient frappé une monnaie et imprimé des billets, le "dollar français"...
Les recruteurs US disaient aux mecs; pour les décider à s'engager, "Tu vas voir, les femmes françaises c'est des chaudasses, tu vas bien t'amuser !"
Et aussi...ils ont testé le napalm sur Royan...
Biden... à coups de pieds dans le cul il retraverse l'Atlantique !
@dlb Ça serait LE truc qui ferait que je me déplace en jet privé pour leur marave la gueule !
Déjà que ça passe pas sa campagne de com' "Travail famille patrie" du camarade Roussel...

Pololo ! Il doit pas être facile facile à lire celui là ! Expliquer que la France est une démocratie... c'est quand même balaise ! Y'a plus que la presse et les journalistes TV qui y croient...

In France, Emmanuel Macron has warned those tempted to vote for Marine Le Pen, that my well suffer later regrets... so the shouldn't 'be like the British who cried after Brexit'!
Yup, that's what we're known for now; shooting ourselves in the (political) foot & then crying about it later.
