40% increase in Russian oil imports to France this year;

I'm joining the Macron Must Go crowd just for that.

I'm old enough to remember these:
2 Presidents and a Vice President.
None of them GOP
None of them MAGA

So now, in the USA, if you are not MAGA, you are automatically antifa.
If you don't worship Trump you must be his competitor.
If you are a competitor you are the enemy.
Trump has a very stupid & lazy brain.

oh, what time is it? Is he still my President?
Macron is looking pretty haggard these days, and for reason.
And it's not just because France is broke and has no money to boost/bribe the arms industry into doing something not terribly lucrative for them.

Thank you. Now that I see how easy it is, I'm definitely not going to be put off buying skeins instead of balls/cakes, because I'm going to invest in a swift and a ball winder.

We’ve called so many things “tipping points” that the public can’t tell when one really tips. Antarctic sea ice may have just crossed a threshold for real. The crisis is clearer than the language.

I got my wish: a non 'white' woman from a country Trump has no respect for!

and people think I'm being insulting when I describe Americans as stupid, when all I'm doing is being factual. If Trump's administration represent the best of America, then stupid is not a strong enough word, I'm going to try "retarded" from now on.
