The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26%, and an unemployment rate of almost 10%. He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so!........

On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change!

Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!

Dear Abby’s perfect three-word response to woman who hates her gay neighbors
By Derek de Koff April 29, 2017 at 1:04pm
Advice columnist Abigail “Dear Abby” van Buren was certainly ahead of the curve in 1979.
Her hilarious response to an uppity advice seeker has to be seen to be believed.
Written by “Up In Arms,” the letter writer voices her vast concerns about her new neighbors:
“About four months ago,” she writes, “the house across the street was sold to a ‘father and son’ — or so we thought.”
....
Imagine her shock and chagrin to discover “it was an older man about 50 and a young fellow about 24.”
In a brilliantly dismissive gesture, Dear Abby deems the letter worthy of only three one-syllable words:
“You could move.”
Here's the whole letter:
h/t: All That Is Interesting.

This was a respectable neighborhood before this ‘odd couple’ moved in. They have all sorts of strange-looking company. Men who look like women, women who look like men, blacks, whites, Indians. Yesterday I even saw two nuns go in there!
They must be running some sort of business, or a club. There are motorcycles, expensive sports cars, and even bicycles parked in front and on the lawn. They keep their shades drawn so you can’t see what’s going on inside but they must be up to no good, or why the secrecy?
We called the police department and they asked if we wanted to press charges! They said unless the neighbors were breaking some law there was nothing they could do.
Abby, these weirdos are wrecking our property values! How can we improve the quality of this once-respectable neighborhood?
