Does Macron even stand a chance of re-election himself? Guess he's been exposed as the gentry's puppet already? If world leaders consider him as a sitting duck nobody's gonna hold back in taking cheap shots at his wife

now I know why some (or maybe all ?) Brazilian users here didn't want this guy to be elected. Trump is quite a gentleman comparing to him.

 

politics aside I respect someone like Macron who at least married someone he loves (even if she is 100 years older) much more than all those rich guys who marry several times with younger women and everybody knows those women are with them only because of their money and their position.

You ain't gonna find decency in politics. Even those seemingly decent people with ideas become overwhelmed by the power once they have it.

@Griff88 I’ve read that you’re getting a new capital. Will you be relocating? Or do you live outside Jakarta?

I guess I should change friends, then, as quite a bit of my friends are politicians of some kind...

At least you have friends . If Totallympics is lost in the snap, I’m going to end up like Hawkeye (that isn’t a spoiler because the movie was released twice, and has been available on Amazon since August 1st. It ain’t my fault I spoil it for someone at this point)

Well not yet, it is not official until it is approved by the parliament.

 

I don't think I will leave Jakarta, unless the city is suddenly overran by the religious fanatics. If that happen, relocating to the new capital (or somewhere near) will be much safer because the headhunting Dayaks will repel them from doing any disturbance there.

A interesting research was done by our  Institute for Public Affairs in our high schools.

 

The kids between the ages of 15 and 19 were asked to anonymously answer who they would not want to have as their neighbors.  positively, most have chosen extremist politicians.  also is quite encouraging that our youngs have no problems with Jews and Peoples of different skin color.
