French politics
@somarasu indeed! "M. Macron, do you believe then that France should secure billions of dollars of loans from shady investors, rack up massive amounts of debt while the 'chief officers' of the firm all buy themselves Lamborghinis, and then finally collapse and get bought out by some holding company without ever having produced a single worthwhile thing?"
French politics
I normally expect this kind of catastrophically bad judgement from _American_ politicians:

Just a heads-up from having lived through many many waves of new users: Nazis etc. will probably try to join the platform over the next couple of days when they see how much fun we're having. Don't let them drive you away. In about a week or so their instances will all get blocked and they'll be banned from any reputable servers and things will go back to normal, it just takes admins a few days to sort things out and figure out what's what.

I admit that I've only peripherally followed the news about the man who opened fire on a group of Republican Congressman. GOP lawmakers are increasingly shy of doing any of their business in the public eye, with good reason, and I fear that they will use this incident as an excuse for even more secrecy and deception.
@KitRedgrave Good morning! *friendly salute*
@oceangrunge @bea By all means, dear. *bows respectfully*
@oceangrunge @bea Less of a brand...more of a "cutie mark"

@Freylet indeed. friends who mean the world to me are in distress and all I can do is watch from a distance and interject what I hope are supportive words. my connections feel so fragile at times like these
@Freylet *hugs* We will get by. We usually do. *smiles* I'm concerned for some friends, among other things.
@Freylet I'm not too good myself. *decides that she, also, prefers hot chocolate, and sips some*
@thebestsophist I am glad. :=8)
