Yesterday, the top story in multiple subs was how Macron was cutting off access to RT because they were publishing biased, inaccurate, badly sourced news. Everyone was praising Macron for it. When Trump hints of anything similar in response to hit pieces, there it tremendous outrage, even amongst conservatives.

I think this article is trying way too hard to fit everything in a narrow narrative. The VVD in the Netherlands moved to the right during the campaign.

If these had been put out a week earlier then media could have freely spread them, discussed them and both candidates could have been interviewed about this.

This is part of the widespread perception that all our politicians are corrupt, they're all de la merde. It's cute when it leads people to call for Obama.

You don't understand the French election system. There will be two parts of it, one round to eliminate all but two candidates and then a second round to determine the winner of the last two. The last two are right now looking like Macron and Le Pen, and when it's only between the two of them he is in the lead by 60-40. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_French_presidential_election,_2017

Nazis aren't coming, but the political environment is becoming comfortable for people with nationalistic views and racial ideals. Le Pen may not be a Nazi, but she is a populist that thrives on manipulating the masses by promising an impossible ideal and marginalizing groups based on their ethnic and cultural background. You don't need history to know how destructive far right populism can be. Also, brother Ray, you are a patronizing twat.

Yesterday, the top story in multiple subs was how Macron was cutting off access to RT because they were publishing biased, inaccurate, badly sourced news. Everyone was praising Macron for it. When Trump hints of anything similar in response to hit pieces, there it tremendous outrage, even amongst conservatives. In the last year and a half, the mainstream media has proved itself to be dishonest, malicious garbage. It is time conservatives realized that giving garbage access is not the defense of any great principle. And that garbage needs to be discarded and not given a helping hand.

I think this article is trying way too hard to fit everything in a narrow narrative. The VVD in the Netherlands moved to the right during the campaign. Macrons success has very little to do with Trump and a Le Pen win was always very unlikely. The UK has to deal with Brexit and this incredibly strong and stable PM. Merkel's deal with Erdogan stopped the refugee crisis and the AFD destroyed itself. There are many reasons and narrowing it down to Trump is probably wrong.

Yes, right now the polish company pays polish wages. With Macrons concept they would have to pay French union wages. So the polish companies would not be able to compete by price dumping. Both would offer a bid of ~30M. That for a French company can build it, pay taxes in France and French workers get jobs. Thats the idea. - But the idea is a local solution for France.

If these had been put out a week earlier then media could have freely spread them, discussed them and both candidates could have been interviewed about this. Unfortunately for the foreign agents, this would have meant that Macron could have defended himself and reporters could have revealed that the emails have been doctored. By releasing this info "too late" the only people spreading it are random folks on social media and conspiracy sites.
