Van hardly wait until she is elected. And Merkel dies at the hand of a migrant

I think it's risky to do this before a election, i'm sure that Germany has some kind of influence in France politically not to mention that merkel can just say eh well fuck it time to start funding her opposition.

I exhibit you Donald J. Trump, or as we refer to him now, Mr. President. Every group that had influence spent everything they had to stop him and it didn't work. They tried to rig the election and still failed. If France truly is behind her and wants the horrors Merkel has visited on Europe to end then there is nothing that can be done to stop Le Pen. Looking at the enthusiasm gap we are probably going to see her win.

The time for diplomatic niceties is over. We must begin denouncing those who would destroy us in the most severe terms. We can still lose an election even if we hold our tongues.

While I agree with the immigration point, on every other point she's a communist. Anti-austerity (i.e. the government spending money it doesn't have and taking resources from the private sector to enrich the bureaucrats' friends), intelligent protectionism (i.e. the bureaucracy being bought off by corporations to protect them from outside competition and screw consumers). She wants to basically create a national investment bank so technocrats can plan the economy for "the greater good of the french people"

Politicians have been "ripping each other a new one" forever. This changes nothing.
[–] Kickinwing [S] ago
But it never gets old. It's nice seeing her get knocked down a few pegs.
[–] Tancred ago
Does she get knocked down or does it only appear so? Merkel should've been impeached by now.

Merkel's party just won the elections in Saarland...
[–] Kickinwing [S] ago
And Hilary Clinton won the popular vote by about 3 million...
