I'm going to ignore your comment about his personal life. I don't think it's appropriate to judge consensual adult relationships.
"Maybe loosen labor laws a little" is one way to put it, sure. I think he's pretty much the only shot France has at fixing its economy.
I like to judge utopias by looking at those who are excluded from them. Far too many, from the youth to immigrants in banlieues, are excluded from the utopia that is a full-time job in France. It's the same "fuck you, got mine" mentality that drives every sort of protectionism, from tariffs to NIMBYism.
So yeah, what Macron is doing is pretty fucking important.

Steve Bannon is not as interesting as he thinks he is

Considering the below-Trump popularity Macron enjoys atm I think he wont dare to push much of his Jupiterian regressive "reforms".
His reforms are unpopular and "regressive" just like, say, building high-density housing in American cities is unpopular and "regressive" (in that so-called "progressives" oppose it). Destroying entrenched power structures is usually unpopular.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I'm going to heavily judge that one poster and also Rick Wilson if nothing juicy droppos tomorrow.
What did Wilson say?

MELKR IS UNBANNED. PRAISE.
It's quite hard to have two really costly hurricanes in a row in a hurricane season in a country. I see why CNN is disappointed. Irma's name is likely going to be retired anyway at the end of this hurricane season because of the damage it caused in the Caribbeans.

They were really banking on absolute chaos and blood in the streets.

I think Wilson just vaguely promised something was going to happen soon (IIRC, it was actually last week, not Monday) and then Stinkles (?) in here said something about tomorrow.
This is so true.
The only thing I know about French food critics is from a CG documentary called Ratatouille. some Pixar thing.
I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

Rick Wilson is one of the few people whos actually clued into things but hes been super off on timing.

That's a good way to put it. He obviously has Republican connections and knows when stuff's up, but probably not worth trusting him on timing.
I think we should do a more interesting poll than spoiled mills impeachment one. Quicker payoff. WHAT does Stinkles' psychic barber and Rick Wilson know is dropping tomorrow. Your wildest guess?
Mine:
Trump was on conference call for the "adoptions" meeting he asked the Russians if they could hack Clinton's "30,000 deleted emails" during it.
Dark horse: Confirmation the piss tape is real from IC who have seen it.

You know that part about having a lot of actionable policy proposals ready to go on Day 1 and not a lot of nice-sounding soundbites?
Macron getting nothing done is an example of why you do that! He had a giant majority- if you're not using that starting from day 1 to push through reforms, you're going to get stuck in the mud and sputter out, like he currently is.

Lol. You complain about that one little thing. Charlie Rose was calling Bannon out left and right. I don't think I've ever seen a journalist in recent memory stand up for the Truth as much as Charlie did. Almost all interviewers and journalists would never do an interview so firm and call out the BS non-stop. I don't think I've ever seen a 60 minutes story and interview that is as contentious as this one. Charlie Rose so many times had to take a moment to respond because he obviously wanted to lose his shit on him. You could see active contempt for him.
I cant believe Bannon's now saying the Catholic Church wants to smuggle illegal immigrants in to fill their seats at church.
Yep his execution has definitely been less then stellar. I hope he gets back on track soon.

Way I see it, if Pelosi and Schumer don't have some legislative aides working on language for bills right now, they're kinda fucking up.
Don't put it out there, specifics just attract nitpicking nonsense, but yeah, we should really have stuff ready to put up for vote day 0.

I hate when people act like he's some sort of evil mastermind. He's the new Karl Rove.
It's bad but it's not $50+ billion bad.
Vermont has a lot of college educated whites and almost all of the state's population is in the cities.Only one really rural part of the state in far NE Vermont sometimes is won by republicans in presidential elections.The national republican party's is also way to conservative to appeal to people in vermont.

Every work law firmly pushed towards "flexibilization / liberalization" (codewords for reduction) of working rights is a regressive reform by its constitution. Working rights are not a glitch, they are human rights that were conquered after decades of inhumane exploitation.
Turns out it only took branding your corporation as a family and exploitation as a lifestyle and a choice for people to become more receptive to "flexible" work laws. Pure

I'm guessing we'll get some kind of first 100 hours plan at some point. Pelosi already said $15 minimum wage and VRA restoration/expansion are Day 1 priorities.
I'm not your guy on a state by state level like that. I know my area pretty well, but not really others. Whyamihere is the one who loves to look up rando elections all over the map, he might be better.
I don't know anything about the French economy but it doesn't make sense to me why his party did so well in the parliamentary elections if people were going to immediately decide they wanted something different. I get why HE won, but he should have had no coattails, no? Why not vote for him and then all the socialists?
It seems like an Obama '09 speedrun where he just skipped past all the stuff where Obama actually accomplished things and got right to the tea party backlash.
It's not nearly the disaster Harvey was. Irma's a nasty hurricane, but that's really all it is, a stronger version of a normal hurricane that we know how to prepare for. Harvey's unprecedented flooding was something else.
Well they still have the aftermath. Also isn't there another coming as well?
I'm really curious what the winter is going to look like in North America now.

There was only 40% turnout in the parliamentary elections, which was a record low and much lower than ever in 2012 (57%). Also, Marcon didn't even do as well in the parliamentary elections as people expected. There were thought he might end up with 400+ seats, and he only got 350.
So, in essence, he only became President in the first place because he managed to be the guy who was up against the fascist and then he acted like winning a supermajority in a election with record low turnout meant he had a mandate.

The fact a "centrist" like Macron was able to convince people that he could boost growth and lower unemployment via his harsh labor market reforms was a true shame. On top of that he's trying to go after the poor, students, looking to give big tax breaks to the rich and showing a lot of people his authoritarian leanings.
FYI, the VA Accountability and Protection Act is being used to fire union covered employees while ignoring the most recent union agreement. An act of congress overrules federal union agreements. I know this because I work at VA and have seen it happening.
The rest of the federal government should get their resume's in order because it won't stop at VA.
Also, no one of any skill or intelligence will want to work for the federal government when they get paid a lot less and are at-will.

It's almost stinkles Monday. I'm ready for those oppo droppos.
He's of the opinion that if Trump builds the stupid wall that will, logistically and financially, never happen, his shit approval ratings will soar and he'll win 2020 in a landslide. And that the establishment GOP is trying to nullify him. And probably something about The Deep State (TM).
