Twitter person comment deserving of a giggle: "Trying to lock down the French Lebanese vote."
My own comment which may/may-not deserve a giggle: "Doing his best Austin Powers impression."

There's also, of course, the serious issue of manspreading we need to mention here.

And, in fairness, there's much odder things about Macron than how he sits...

He has the elections practically won, there are enough people who are programmed to vote against ''far-right'' no matter how odious the alternative is, so he can flaunt his cringe. I mean, he publicly promised to flood Europe with rapefugees....

And the collation he needs gets more and more unwieldy and his enemies more powerful and angry

He doesn't have a place in the republican party and needs to go to the neo opitmates party.

It doesn't matter, any piece of globalist agenda he pushes through is there to stay for good and once he is past his usefulness he will get a luxury retirement and new player, tuned to satisfy the superficial needs of electability will take his place.

Staying for good implys that this french republic will last and considering how the french roll....I don't think thats likely.

Apparently this happened once when Barack HUSSEIN Obama visited a Chipotle in 2014.

This isn't your birthplace of KENYA Mr. President. There are standards and norms to follow here in AMERICA. The Sneezeguard is there for a reason. You can't just reach over the damn think so you can point out you want more Sour Cream! Intimidating that poor food service worker, intimidating him because you think that just because you're the President you are somehow above the Law.

It is chipotle, it already gives you food poisoning by default. So it can’t make a difference

Who was stupid enough to OK the President eating at Chipotle?

“Conservatives haven’t conserved anything!”

I feel sorry for anyone who admits voting for this cheeky chap back in 2016.

Cough



Oh wait, that's not the Tweet I was thinking of.



There it is.

So what will it do that the EPA doesn't do? Sounds like something Congress could cut from the budget.

Well, my guess is this dept is under the DoJ, while the EPA is a a weird Dept of Interior/Army Corp of Engineers jurisdiction mix.

Edit: Think of it as taking the EPA and giving in an in-built policing agency and court system. The EPA had to rely on local, county, state, and federal court review for things and had to play ball at all levels.

This new OEJ would effectively turn the agency into the court itself, or at least an environmental DA's office, with Fed level jurisdiction powers separate from the DoI or ACE.

Dan Bongino's take on this is that they want the subpoena power. With this, they can target and extort corporations they don't like.

I’ll be honest, I was at a loss as to how to react at first.

Obviously, I decided on “Ha-ha”, but… what’s the larger context here, exactly? I know it’s at an EU council meeting, and am puzzled as to what silly dancing has to do with anything, but that doesn’t tell me much about who brought the dancers in or why. 😕
