Living in France since 2003. Canadian MSM for my help in perpetuating the Canadian ww1 story. Not a fan of Boris the ๐Ÿคก, or Napolรฉon Bonespurs.

So fed up with Trump ; panics ; crumbles ; is destroyed ; received worse news, headlines.

He survived 4 years with the Dems in power, you think he cares about anything now?

I've been noticing over the past few days that at times Google changes my question. I ask a question in French and the reply gives me an English question with anglophone results : when I specifically wanted answers pertinent to France.

Sounds like a Trumpian : We make great whiskey, comes from the finest wheat. Did you know that we grow the finest wheat in the United States ?... Melania...film...Canada... Bridge.... Tariffs...

Anyway, American. Not drinking it.

Please tell me that this was a piss-take on the standard : I'm outrageously outraged at this outrageous outrage.

If you want to see a nation devastated by a shooting, look north. They are shocked because it's a rare event. Not a weekly occurrence - or the Gov murdering bystanders at a rally.

Mark Kermode reviews Melania
YouTube video by Kermode and Mayo's Take Mark Kermode reviews Melania

Mark Kermode is a Brit film critic (if you are not aware of him, he also writes books on cinema). A listener offered a donation to charity if he went to see it.

Spoiler alert : he didn't like it.

There are far bigger markets outside the USA.

My own take on this is that us foreigners don't have an equivalent term for :

"We want to make obscene amounts of profits out of suffering."

I looked up gazillion in French. It comes out as 'lots'.
Which is a bit like using, zut!, for fuck ! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Whilst the argument goes that ; if you don't want to buy it, don't ; works fine for individuals, what's your granny getting to eat in the old folks home, your childer at school.? What about fast food, restaurants ?

That's mass purchase and from where?

Too many people are voting for the people who act as though : 'You wouldn't have been fired under me'.

Deregulation will hit your exports as well.

The US already has problems trying to sell food to Europe. You could argue that we are over regulated, but the consumers like the quality assurances of high standards.

As the UK found with Brexit, deregulate all you want.
You can't sell it.

Not sure about god.

I'd be hoping that the old gods come out of retirement for some good old mythological vengeance and suffering.

None of this love thine enemy stuff.

I listen to a lot of KPop bands. For the most part I don't understand a word.

Do I like the voices, melody, beat, harmonies ? If the answer is yes it goes onto the playlist. I like walking to it, no wordy distractions.

If I watch the subtitled music video, and the lyrics are good, even better ๐Ÿ˜‰

Had on of my conseilleurs municipales round this morning. Did I fancy attending the old folks meal on the 1st.?

I have declined every other year and did so again.

I have a horror of having to spend a meal with the elderly.
Smacks to much of old folks home.

Agreed. If there is solid proof, take it to court.

If not, get over it.

Having one half of voters bitching about the result, every election is boring.

What really swings elections, is getting the non-voters to actually take an interest in what is happening on their streets.

If you are not eligible to vote, you are not a voter - for any party.

A similar sort of rules was tried in the UK. Very selective photo ID required.
The problem was people not being aware of what they needed.
Including the PM himself ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ˜

Make people aware, help them get it, and vote.

"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

Presumes, that is what the administration and MAGA voters want.

Personally, I'm not convinced that this experiment of letting the most hideous of people run your country, is working.

Somewhere up above on my TL I've just seen one of your MAGA reps, saying that : 'initially she didn't care or understand what all the fuss was about'.

Yes, you read that right, SHE, didn't care.
Not some white bloke, no, a woman.

She couldn't even reach : 'this is concerning'.
She didn't care ๐Ÿ™„

I was back in Arras for a meeting, so took the time to run up to Bรฉnifontaine. The shop stocks stuff I can't find here.

I really like the Imperial double hopped IPA.

If you are ever that direction it's worth checking the opening times. The brewery is easily visible, and 3 min off the express.

I'm far from being an economist but surely if gold is now worth more, the value of the older medals (from whatever year) will have risen as well.?

Gold being gold and all that.

What may give added value is what it was for and to whom it was given - which makes them worth more than gold. ๐Ÿ˜‰
