    You gotta give credit to the fact that in the time the United States has had it’s 1 republic, France has had 5 of them.

    Or the fact that Europe tears itself apart like every 50 years

      It’s probably because French citizens are smart enough to put their own well-being before their governing powers well-being.

      Yeah we’ve been together for 200 years, but it’s not going well at all.

        The French literally placed an emperor into power just shortly after a proletariat revolution. Let’s not go sucking their dicks just yet.

            You talking about the time they decided to start a war with the entire world, or the time they decided to start a war with the entire world?

            “Everything is so bad. Yet they set nothing on fire? How do they expect to fix?” —some twitter lady’s french husband, commenting on the state of American politics

                fair, but we only set things on fire if the local american football team wins. or loses. or ties. or the game is cancelled. or at parades.

                what’s wild is that we party like the french protest but we don’t really protest.
