French Senator: "A handful of drug addicts and alcoholics have seized power in America".

[jmbar2]

Wow! Mincing no words...

Full translation. We are the laughingstock of the international community:

A year ago, right here, I was comparing Trump’s presidency to the court of Nero. I was wrong, it’s the Court of Miracles.

An anti-vaxxer, a former heroin addict, is Minister of Health.
A climate change skeptic is Minister of Ecology.
An alcoholic TV host is Minister of the Armed Forces.
A former agent of Qatar is Minister of Justice.
A Putin groupie is Minister of National Security.

A Turkish proverb says: “When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become king, the palace becomes a circus.”

This fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since its Peace Council has existed, Trump has launched more military strikes than Biden did during his entire term.

Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and create a diversion.

Bomb more to gain more.

There isn’t a single country where Trump hasn’t taken advantage of the situation to enrich himself, never forgetting his family. A personal Boeing offered by Qatar, investments in projects across the Gulf and elsewhere, manipulation of stock prices benefiting a select few insiders.

Any one of these conflicts of interest would have triggered immediate impeachment proceedings here.

But we are not here, we are in MAGA America, where public affairs are conducted in the service of private interests.

[Farmer-Rick]

11. Leave it to the French

To say whet everyone is thinking. And to say it with flourish.

[BattleRow]

21. A perfect example of " les mots juste".

Francophile..not pedophile.

13. Europeans used to admire.....

our country's democracy.

tRump turned it into a tragic comedy, and now the entire world laughs at our country and the kleptocracy it's become.

[hay rick]

14. You can look down your nose. You can look in the mirror.

The Trump administration is comical, obscene, repulsive...and threatening. The idea that "it can't happen here" has been thoroughly discredited for any advanced democracy. Europeans need to take a ruthless approach to countering their own "populist," oligarchic, fascist movements. They can learn from America's object lesson. They need to treat MAGA America as a potential enemy.

[BurnDoubt]

15. So...

Our Secret Is Out,,.....................

[JustAnotherGen]

16. He's not wrong

[Kid Berwyn]

17. French Senator could teach US pols some rhetoric.

Big Picture: MAGA America, where public affairs are conducted in the service of private interests

19. Respectfully, Senator, you should add "ideologues and zealots" to that list

They are addicted too, just not to substances.

[Botany]

22. When a clown moves the palace becomes ..

.... a circus.

Btw in this string of fuck ups it was not
mentioned that Michael Flynn who is a
Russian asset, helped to turn Crimea
over to Russia in '14, and is no doubt on
Vlad's payroll is now being paid by the DoJ
for breaking the law.

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. Not to mention Kushner

Who is unofficially involved with Saudia Arabia on trump's behalf. The same Saudis who gave Kushner 2 billion when he opened his financial company.

[Botany]

33. The corruption is mind boggling.

And who put in the 1.5 billion $ buy order or sell order right before Trump was going to make a speech (well as what he can do).
My guess Don Jr., Eric. Kush-Turd, and some Saudis.

30. When I read that second tweet, I thought it said, "He must be euthanized IMMEDIATELY." LOL

Talk about wishful thinking.

37. I don't think Piggy is talking about himself in that "hilarious" video

36. Gandalv seems to be amused by this?

I don't think it's funny at all.

[flamingdem]

24. Zee Frenche have a way with words!

[Joinfortmill]

25. No shit, right?

[live love laugh]

26. He forgot pedophiles.

[RockRaven]

29. No lies detected. Except maybe "a handful" and "a few insiders" being underestimates.

[Warpy]

31. Disagree. I've known plenty of addicts toall sorts of substances and they're more rational

than this bunch of wrecking balls and ignorant shitbags. Yes, that includes meth addicts.

This is far worse, it's government by social media algorithm, something that favors the most outrageous lunatics and which this bunch of dimwitted and uncreative power drunk assholes take for majority opinion.

This is why social media have got to be regulated as public utilities, to get rid of the algorithms that favor clickbait.

Not only will outrage junkies have to start thinking straighter, it will be fun to see Zuckerberg et al. shriek and squirm.

[FakeNoose]

32. We know that Chump isn't an alcoholic, so I guess he must be one of the drug addicts?

Or another possibility, maybe there's no word for "pedophile" in French?

[Blues Heron]

34. Trump is a known cocaine user. He cultivated the adderal thing as cover.

[Justice matters.]

35. He's correctly describing the kegbreath bullying lil' punk.

And the brainworm moron.

[surrealAmerican]

39. It's not the substances ...

... they're just bad people. They'd be just as objectionable if they were sober.

[Be The Light]

40. No

We have been taking over by fascist assholes!

[Clouds Passing]

41. A bunch of malignant narcissists on drugs and alcohol

43. Thanks for the post!

Claude Malhuret is no lightweight! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Malhuret

From the link:

"Claude Malhuret: (born 8 March 1950) is a French physician, lawyer and politician who has served as a member of the Senate since 2014, representing the department of Allier. A member of Horizons (HOR),[1] he has presided over the centre-right The Independents – Republic and Territories (LIRT) parliamentary group in the Senate since 2017.

If we only had Semators even half as qualified as he is, our nation would be in MUCH better shape.
