Enriching yourself from your position in office? Seems like the French’s stuff from a long time ago. Sounds like the grounds for a repeat of the season.

        Americans live in relative comfort compared to most of the world. They’re not desperate enough to consider a french solution, in order to give that up. They’re the very definition of the placated masses.

      Yeah, you’re right. We just damn people into unaffordable healthcare with no universal insurance while simultaneously raiding immigrant housing with a police force comprised of the people who chanted that the “Jews will not replace us” in Charlottesville, raided the Capitol on J6, or both. We’re in a pit lower than the French.
