Who's laughing now, Macron? After mocking Trump at NATO conference

 A protester screams amidst clouds of tear gas as protesters and French Riot Police clash during a rally near Place de la Republique in support of the national strike in France on Thursday, one of the largest nationwide strikes in years

More than 800,000 demonstrators marched on cities throughout France today, with railway workers, teachers and hospital staff joining the largest strike in decades.

Authorities in Paris barricaded the presidential palace and deployed some 6,000 police as activists, many in yellow vests, gathered for a major march aimed at forcing President Emmanuel Macron to abandon his pension reform plans. 

Officers were forced to use tear gas to disperse rioters who set fire to a vehicle and smashed windows as tensions heightened close to the Place de la Republique square.

    Please excuse the spelling, it's been a few decades; In Thailand they would say "Som Nahm Nha," or "Serves You Right." Ah hell, who knows what it REALLY Meant, "My Lil Dakling," or Monkey's AZZ. Mo pen young, Mei ben lai, Cop. Phonetically Speaking.

    As if Macron cares about the peasants. You dont become King of France to care for the "people". You do it to be treated like royalty... as you deserve.
