Eloquent and unerring. Worthy of a comparison with a young Robespierre.

Onward, Charlie! One of your finest messages, ever!

You spelled it out in black and white. Facts are facts, and truth will reign!

We cannot forget or ignore our history and the reputation of our nation. Trump has smeared and darkened our history in moments. We together must stand up and demand that goodness to our cause be returned. Vote in people who understand it and bring it back stronger than ever before! Trump is a mean, hateful tiny man in our World and outside its borders! Onward!

awesome piece - Europe should confiscate all russian external assets and say Russia can get what's left back immediately after Putin is dead - how Russia wants to organise that should be up to them

The French Senator is correct! He did not mince words! He is correct in his view of Trump and Putin and has made the right analysis that Europe must defend itself against tyranny and that Americans need to come to grips with our unqualified leadership and do something about it. We must rise up....sooner than the mid-terms. Protests are working, San Diego confronting ICE agents was reassuring that we the people will not just "take it" from this regime!

I am applauding - and rooting for - Canada and the European nations that are banding together, realizing they can no longer count on us. No, they have not been freeloaders. We told them for decades and decades that we had their back. We have now proven we are untrustworthy. I hope they can keep the world safe now that we have sold our souls.

Bravo Senator Malhuret! Another courageous French lawmaker unafraid to expose Trump as the dangerous degenerate dictator he is. Your turn, U.S. Senators. Thank you Charlie - one of your best.

The French have been there before, more than once, so they know what it's like to succumb to autocracy.
