French Elections Mean Nothing for Markets, Unless of Course Le Pen Wins

She’s not going to win. Then again, I didn’t think Trump could win either. But in our ‘polls’ Hillary had a 4 point lead. Their polls show Macron up by 25 points, hardly a rounding error. I will say this, if Le Pen wins, all of the pollsters in France should be rounded up and placed in the guillotine for an expeditious chopping. Agreed?

Also, if Le Pen wins, markets will drop 5% tonight.

But she’s not going to win. You shouldn’t expect the French people to do anything hard. They’ve never been to the moon, atomic bombed out an enemy, or defeated Germany twice.

With Macron as President, the EU bloc is strengthened, globalism advances, and markets will continue the path of least resistance — up until the point when people begin to fear for their financial safety.

Here in America, we elected a ‘nationalist’ for President and look what that got us: MOAR globalism.

So, sit back, relax, crack open a six pack of beers you fucking faggots, and bear witness to MUH democracy taking place in France — slowly sticking another dagger into the hearts of powerless freedom lovers.

Polls close in about 3 hrs.

    The West is finished. They decided long ago it was best to be raped to death by savages. Oh well. Stupid hurts,and it should.

    Russia and the allies defeated Germany – it was already over when the US joined.

    Perhaps if Trump had performed better and stuck to his campaign promises in his first 3 months the French would have been emboldened to take a chance on Le Pen.

    French are cowards. Can always buy French surplus rifles advertised as once dropped never fired.

    Laziness. I think it’s because there’s nothing we can do, vioting is a joke and a scam. Either side is essentially the same, twiddle dee or twiddle dum. Some day what’s good will be its master, I guess, point is it’s not really democracy.
