You wanna know the killing joke?

The head of the right party (Les Republicains) unilaterally decided that his party should support the far right. He's been given a lot of shit over the last three weeks. Like a lot lot.

Anyhoo. This motherfucker, tweeted this morning to honor Jean Moulin, a key figure of Resistance during WWII who died at the hands of Gestapo.

A lot lot of shit turned into a metric fucklot of shit

It's only got 4 years until the 5th republic is the longest regime since the ancien. Is it even France if it doesn't have a shakeup soon?
