"I'm not going!" declares Brigitte Macron

She’s 96 years old, so she’ll likely die first.

Okay, fine. But Brigitte, can Justin Trudeau join us as the First Gentleman?

She has little chance of trading up.

She has dementia.

Nice wig.

[quote] deeply rooted "marriage pact" aimed at preserving power and public perception.

I’ll believe her when she publicly does this…

She looks like a coat hanger wearing a wig.

[quote] She looks like a coat hanger wearing a wig.

Like Maris.

He's the best man she's ever known!

Good Lord that wig.

I had always avoided Candace Owens in the popular culture. But her series on Brigitte aka Jean-Michel Trogneaux beckoned. And it was utterly gosh darn RIVETING. Compelling, and RIVETING.

[quote] There is also a strong belief among insiders that real changes may begin to surface once the political landscape shifts. Some insiders speculate: "That's when the real story will begin."

I know it's Radar Online, but what the fuck does mean? She is going to start leaving bruises when his popularity sinks even further?

He needs to keep her locked up. She’s definitely showing signs of Alzheimer’s.

Demented tranny

But does she regret nothing?

Je m’en fous.

Then he can get with a far better looking woman nearer his own age. Or if he's inclined, a hot young stud.

Never marry your aged same-sex child-molester

Just send him to detention.

I’m Not going EITHER.

I guess she loves the power more than she hates him, if she's willing to stick with it for another two years.

Is there like a MILF fantasy going on?

She looks like Christine Baranski’s retarded cousin

They have such a weird psycho-sexual thing going on. I understand fucking your cougar teacher when you're a horny kid in school, but then shacking up with her... for life? People who've been married five or more times make more sense to me than this.

Ms. Macron you might not be going but your

RATTY Korean wig-THAT has to go!

I think the likely scenario is Emmanuel is bisexual leaning gay and has had long-term boyfriends and casual male lovers as well. The less likely scenario is for Emmanuel is he is basically hetero but also privately a cross dresser. But not necessarily trans. Just a hetero cross dresser.

As for Brigitte, an enigma. Possibly bisexual? Certainly a functional person with a personality disorder that doesn't respect boundaries.

Brigitte likes them young.

You sound mentally unwell R29. RU OK?

Ultimately, Marriage and relationships are about getting what u need...having your needs fulfilled. Thats not always 100% about love.

I don't even want to think about how he's getting his needs fulfilled by a 72-year-old. Do they even have sex or is it 100% about his mommy issues? Or maybe he's a gerontophile?

She looks like a neanderthal. Is she related to Marjorie Taylor Grotesque?

I am curious about her popularity in France. The article implies a divorce would damage him politically, but is that really the case? Maybe the french dataloungers could opine.

They are not having sex, R34. Brigitte is dry as the desert.

Yes, he needs his lavender wife like Leonardo needs his model relationships.

r36 He's on his second term already, so I don't understand that point in the article either.

Even Vili eventually escaped from Mary Kay Letourneau. And Macron is one of the most powerful men in the world. He could do whatever he wants.

R40- Being leader of France does not make you all that powerful. The leader of China, the leader of Russia, The leader of Germany and the leader of the United States- Yes.

France- No

Compared with all of the other men in the world, he is powerful. But apparently not more so than his emaciated geriatric abuser.

Don't tell that to the French, r41. Every single one of their presidents seems to mentally turn into Napoleon while in office, they really think they're presiding over an empire or something. We often shit on the Brits for clinging to glories past, but the French are just as pathetic in that regard. I have a pet theory that it's all that golden kitsch in Élysée Palace that fucks with their brain over time.

[quote]the leader of Russia

Russia is just big geographically. Politically it's a non-entity, eclipsed some time ago by China, Brazil, and even the Saudis.

Why are the Macrons getting a divorce anyway?

The French just don't care what their presidents do in the sheets. I remember learning two decades after the fact that the night Lady Di had the accident in Paris, no one could get a hold of Jacques Chirac because he was sleeping with another woman pretty much every night. Even his security detail had no idea where he was.

This is the reason why the only notable reaction just after the death was made public was... the SCREAM.

Stop shaming an elderly transwoman and her groomed Prince Charming schoolboy who grew up to be the King.

I want to be Minister of Macron's Foreskin.

R43- France never had an empire- Haiti, French Guyana, French Canada 🍁. Gt Britain had a vast empire. Spain 🇪🇸 had an immense empire too.

I will leave it to others to respond.

Canada? Louisiana? There a lot of colonial misinformation around here lately.

You guys know about Napoleon, right?

I’d like to see the return of longer sideburns.

R51, France had Florida for a few years. Napoleon’s nephew, Prince Murat, had a plantation near Tallahassee, but that was after French rule. They were still around as the Marquis Lafayette was given a huge chunk of land near there for his help in the American Revolution.

Bonjour!

[quote]And Macron is one of the most powerful men in the world. He could do whatever he wants.

He’s also good looking and attractive. He could get a high quality person, male or female. Not some Dirty Sanchez style gold digger.

Brigitte Dardanelle

I think Justin and Macron should dock each other.

Well, also Vietnam (French Indo China) Most of Western Africa and Madagascar r49. It was always sort of Miss Runner Up to Britain, but still, it's sort of silly to say it didn't have an Empire at all.

Was that nose purchased?

Après moi le de Lube

Encore un Américain qui exhibe fièrement son ignorance de l’histoire du monde. C’est tout simplement épouvantable. La France a bel et bien eu un empire, et pas un petit : L’Empire colonial français s’étendait sur plusieurs continents, incluant l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Nord, l’Asie du Sud-Est (Indochine), les Caraïbes (Haïti, Martinique, Guadeloupe), l’Amérique du Nord (Nouvelle-France, Québec, Louisiane), et l’Océanie. Au XIXᵉ siècle, c’était le deuxième plus grand empire colonial au monde, après celui du Royaume-Uni. Merci de ne pas confondre ignorance personnelle et faits historiques.

Oh look at Mr fancy with the French post

What is the point of wigs? Aren't they miserably hot and uncomfortable? Why wouldn't she have real hair? Women rarely go bald.

Old men go bald pretty frequently

I’ve come around to the possibility that she may be a tranny.

I watched Candace Owens' deep dive into the Brigitte Macron situation on Youtube. One of the weirdest things that no one talks about is that when Emmanuel Macron had his Presidential Portrait done, there were books placed on his desk. One of the tome was a memoir by André Gide in which he relays his exploits sexing underage boys with Oscar Wilde in North Africa while married. To his cousin. Whom he completely abandoned for sex tourism. And then could never understand why she was so angry with him and eventually left him. He just had no idea?!

You tell me, folks: Was this book placement supposed to be a subliminal message as to the relationship between Brigitte and Emmanuel? Or is France really THAT sexually permissive that no one would give this book a second thought? Because in America, if our President had an André Gide book on his desk in his official portrait, all hell would break loose.

oh, my

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know what country you live in? Do you know who the current president is?

The only shocking thing would be the implication that Trump has ever read a book, or understands the concept of "book."

he looks like he’s wearing a toupee.

The American president is a convicted sex criminal and notable Epstein friend. Gide schmeed.

[quote] Gide schmeed.

Oh, dear.

Well it’s not “Gide schmeid” honey.

If Brigitte is male, as Candance Owens contends, where did Brigitte's chisel-faced daughters and son come from?

R81 - "Owens suggests that the children—Sébastien (born 1975), Laurence (born 1977), and Tiphaine (born 1984)—were born to Jean-Michel Trogneux before his transition. She implies that Brigitte, as Jean-Michel, was the biological FATHER."

I'm not clear on who the mother is, though

He's gay, Candace. Your husband is gay. No, this diversion is not working. Yes, he's still gay and nothing you say about Brigitte or Emanuel is ever going to change that. (Emanuel may be also, but that fact alone won't magically put you in a straight marriage.)

Candace Owens is a moronic grifter and bottom feeding cunt. Her one talent is monetised attention seeking.

Owens' series is based on the book "Becoming Brigitte" by French journalist Xavier Poussard. People who are interested in his theory but hate Owens should read his book, it's pretty convincing

um, seriously r85, a book labeled "Candace Owens presents an investigation" is the proof for those that don't like Owens' lying ass? You kidding me with this shit and nonsense?

R86 - The book was published long before Owens became discovered it and its theory (which she first thought was preposterous). After her series aired, however, the book sold out and became a huge best seller in France, and outside of France, for months.

Oh for an edit button...

You're deep into Q aren't you r88? And deep into doing your own research and finding that every dumbfuck and grifty whore swirling around Trump is an amazing person that has only the best interests of the US at heart, ain't ya Blanche?

She looks like a capuchin monkey.

R89 - What's Q. You're really into attacking me for some reason. Don't read the book. Sorry I triggered you. Fucking weirdo.

[quote] After her series aired, however, the book sold out and became a huge best seller in France, and outside of France, for months.

How absolutely pathetic for everyone involved. Hope everyone has stopped being a complete moron and has decided to give a shit about the growing fascism throughout Europe and here in the U.S. instead.

Good Lord, how old is that woman?

R73/R75 I'm not talking about what Trump or any other American president actually gets up to in their spare time, I am talking about being open about it in a presidential portrait. I am talking about no one would ever be able to get elected here with a marriage origin story as sordid as Emmanuel's and Brigitte's. We are puritanical here, with all the performative Christian shock that comes with it. Even hearing a rumor that one of our president's might own a book as sordid as Gide's would be a story. To have such a book in your presidential portrait would just not be a thing.

I guess, R94. Macron is a freak. No president would do any of that stuff. But Trump actually sexually assaults people and brags about it. And was elected even though everyone knows. That seems more shocking. It’s true that if any of it was gay stuff, not to mention pederast stuff, he would have lost. Maybe.

The man owned the Miss Teen USA pageant for a reason.

He talks openly about fucking his own daughter?!

[quote] Even hearing a rumor that one of our president's might own a book as sordid as Gide's would be a story.

Are you even trying to sound American? Are you even trying to act like you live in Trump's America?

R96 Yeah, we all know that Trump is a creeper. The point is, does Trump have a book written by an unrepentant pedophile sitting on the Resolute Desk? Or does he not?

Trump IS an unrepentant pedophile.

And he can’t read. This is dumb.

She's 72, Pats.

God - throwing away a perfectly good younger dick like that.

It ain't right, i'm telling ya - it ain't fittin'.

Serious question, would this country be up in arms if Dump’s portrait showed Mein Kampf on his desk? We know he’s read it and liked it.

R98 Reading is Fundamental people! I am not saying Trump or any other American politician is not rotten to the core. I am saying, none of them would put an autobiography of some NAMBLA fellow on the Resolute Desk right before getting their fucking portrait taken.

I am saying, it's a really odd choice, for any President of any country, and I was ASKING, do any of you think that this was a deliberate choice, or if they just grabbed some books and threw them on the desk to make Macron look like "I read books?"

As unabashedly corrupt as Trump is, even he would not have a book written by Jeffrey Epstein in which he details the intoxicating pleasure of fucking an eight year old Tunisian boy, sitting out on the Resolute Desk.

I don't know how many times I can phrase this. It's not about what the politician in question is actually guilty of doing. It is about putting such a book out on display. How fucking crazy that is. And why did Emmanuel Macron do this?

It reminds me of the Balenciaga commercials that were a huge scandal awhile back, where they had children's stuffies wearing bondage gear, and some lunatic placed a printout of a court case regarding child pron in the photo.

It's just like....WHY? WHY THE FUCK? Why would any leader of any nation put THAT book in his official photo?

Please stop acting like I said Trump is an innocent lamb, I know that he is not. I am saying people would flip the fuck out if such a book appeared on the Resolute Desk. And I am just asking, is France really THAT permissive, or was this a deliberate choice to telegraph some weirdness?

Excuse me Brigitte - but if you ain't gonna suck his dick, can you step aside please? You're blocking traffic.

There's a line forming all the way back to DataLounge Avenue.

Please and thank you in advance.

You wildly, and I mean wildly, overestimate the ability to be shocked by literally anything Trump could or would do at this point r104. I'm sorry if it's untrue, but you honestly do not seem like anybody who has the faintest idea what the good ole U.S. of A. is like in these dark times.

NOOOO, in fact, nobody would flip the fuck out if Trump had a painting of himself fucking an underaged girl on Epstein Island. His spokeswhores would explain it all away and the media would hem and haw and say, well, Clinton had his scandals too, so really, who are we to judge.

You may be legitimately shocked by Andre Gide and Macron but seriously, no American is going to be shocked by anything our Nero says or does right now. We should be, in fact we should be committing him to an insane asylum for all his stupid nonsense and craziness, but unfortunately we seem determined to accept any disgusting, crazy thing he says or does. And that really is a problem, one that is really agitating me tonight, but I'm not sure there's any solution.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."

[quote]I am saying, it's a really odd choice, for any President of any country, and I was ASKING, do any of you think that this was a deliberate choice, or if they just grabbed some books and threw them on the desk to make Macron look like "I read books?"

To see what all this hysteria is about I Googled. Yes, it was deliberate. There's a BBC behind the scenes video where he's specifically choosing what pages to have laid open "casually" - I can't tell which book.

In February 2022 he was interviewed by La Règle du jeu and discussed his literary faves and he included Gide.

[quote]In The Rules of the Game , the head of state reiterates his passion for the novels of Gustave Flaubert, particularly Madame Bovary . "His demands. His absolute language ," he explains. He also cites Stendhal, who "changed [his] life," André Gide's Les Nourritures terrestres , "the book of [his] adolescence," and René Char, "the poet who taught me the most about the unspeakable . "

Myself, never having read Gide's work have seen people reference that specific book and most are more interested in the journey and not specifically boiling the prose down to pederasty.

Queers for North African boyhood against the Infidel colonialist pederasts!

She's such a hag, and such an embarrassment.

Who does she think she is, Jennifer Hudson?

Thank you, R108. The placement of the Gide book becomes extra curious when the French president's own marriage began with pederasty on behalf of Brigitte, who it seems more and more likely started life as a man in addition to being a hebephile.

This is not Candace Owens nonsense, btw. Candace was just reporting on a book written by a French journalist based on mega immaculate research. She has never been seen in the same room as her supposed brother Jean-Michel Trogneaux. It's like Jean-Michel existed for 30 years, then suddenly there was Brigitte, and no Jean-Michel. Additionally, the supposed first husband of Brigitte is a huge mystery as well, as was his mysterious death and extremely private, suspicious funeral, of which only one child was supposedly there. The sole photo being presented as a young Brigitte was shown with facial recognition programs to be Brigitte's daughter at her confirmation, with the image decolorized.

It's very compelling stuff. And let's be real, that wig is nasty.

After a tour, Trump turned to the French first lady, gestured toward her and said: "You're in such good shape." After repeating the comment to the president, Trump turned back to Brigitte Macron and said: "Beautiful." Her response was unclear.

She's just so...old.

Who is this person who thinks the French public would get all upset with an André Gide book? Get real. They don't care about Gide's sex life.

Did Brigitte get his penis turned into a vagina or does he have the original equipment?

R41 really seems to have an axe to grind ref. France. There’s no other explanation for his absurd posts about France having had no colonial empire (hint: it was the second largest colonial empire in the world), or Macron not being a powerful man, because France is according to him an insignificant country (6th largest economy in the world, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, the political muscle behind the EU, etc).

I WISH our presidential drama were this juicy and harmless.

Maybe Brigitte will fall down a staircase. It's been known to happen.

She could stay but can that wig go.

Just if you were wondering what a young Macron looked like - this is him.

And a pic of her around the same time.

Brigitte - you know we all love you and this is a safe place. It's only out of love and concern that we staged this intervention. But - bitch WHAT THE FUCK? You think you can do BETTAH? Girl, you better take off that coat, take off your panties and march right into that bedroom NOW Missy! We don't want to hear no more shit about how you're thinking of leaving.

I think it's more like Macron wants her gone and she's hanging on by her gnarled, arthritic claws.

R121 Dayum he looked like a Frenchie John Kennedy Jr., she- a human wildebeast.

[quote] who it seems more and more likely started life as a man

Rolls eyes.

This Harold and Maude quote sums it up.

R84

I think she has BPD. She has some kind of personality disorder.

R84 Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. In this case, Candace is just a bottom feeder spreading hot goss that comes from an immaculately researched French source.

And look, do I care if people are born one gender and then transition? No. But when that person also preys on a 14 year old when they are in their 40s and meant to be teaching the CHILD school subjects, not how to eat transitioned pussy, then yeah, it all starts to get pretty disturbing.

[quote]But when that person also preys on a 14 year old when they are in their 40s and meant to be teaching the CHILD school subjects,

She was wrong as hell for having an affair with a student, but the age of consent in France is 15. She met him when he was 15 and started teaching him /having an affair until he was 16. It's already wrong, no need to make it worse by writing that he was younger than he was.

R128 - do we know they had an affair then? I thought he was obsessed with her and said when he grows up he's going to marry her - and he did when he was 30 and finished with school.

Where is it that says they were boinking when he was 15 or 16? (If so - that's pretty fucked up.)

Alas, the lost innocence of my youth!

Oh well, back to not giving a shit and being president of France. Wonder if Candace Owens' very, very gay husband is in town. I could use a diversion.

R127 / R128 According to this methodically researched book by the French journalist Xavier Poussard, he was actually younger than the story they have put forward to the public. From his book's Amazon blurb (clunkily translated):

"On May 14, 2017, Emmanuel Macron came to power in France. A year earlier, the 39-year-old was completely unknown to the public. A media blitzkrieg was waged to sell the French on the couple he formed with “Brigitte”, an attractive teacher he had seduced when he was 17 and she, 36. But the chronology didn’t add up, and the story was rewritten many times, until the admission that when he met “Brigitte”, Emmanuel Macron was...14. And “Brigitte’s” past remained inaccessible, as if she were someone other than who she claimed to be. A mysterious individual who had become “Brigitte”...

The link shows two pictures of Jean-Michel Trogneaux as a child and as a college student. Up to this point there are no childhood photos of Brigitte. Only Jean-Michel. The next two pictures show Brigitte, age 30-whatever and more currently. At this point there are no more known images of Jean-Michel, the "brother." To my eyes, it is all the same person. What do you guys think?

Well I will say she looks better now than she did back then?

I would hope they didn't actually have an affair when he was a teen - but something happened for him to be so transfixed on this woman.

At some point, a 25 year age gap starts to creep in on the reality of your relationship, no matter what gender.

He gave up having children to be with her - and faced a lot of ridicule. If she wants to retire and spend her 70s and 80s in quiet - I can't blame her. He's still going to be going full-force.

They had a good run against all odds.

"You can't live with them, Can't Kill them, Can't leave them on the streetcorner when you're finished with them".

Mr. Francis Gallagher, my old neighbor in La Jolla. He had 3 marriages, 3 divorces, and still died at 98 years old with his fortune.

You can’t take it with you, r134, but I think people like Musk and Peter Thiel think they will cheat death and live forever. There’s no other reason they need to accumulate the wealth they have, they could never spend it in a hundred years.

I say to Macron put Granny in home. Smelly orange husband will soon be dead and I available.

Musk and Thiel are different characters all together! Musk LOVES the adulation& being talked about, positive and negative. I told Musk your wealth is all estimated, just like the "Kartrashwhorians"-loves the credit for the work he doesn't do. He thought that was a "great example" of what he is.

Thiel is a different animal, loves $$$, Power, Revenge and Control. I believe he thinks he can cheat DEATH.

[quote] do we know they had an affair then? I thought he was obsessed with her and said when he grows up he's going to marry her - and he did when he was 30 and finished with school.

An unauthorized biography, another biography that interviewed his parents and those where he grew up, a documentary and many articles, including one with Brigitte's daughter all have the affair starting when he was 16. Classmates would see them holding hands and hanging out on weekends. There was one anecdote in one of the biographies that a family friend of Brigitte's saw them sunbathing at her parents' home and soon people began to find out about them: a neighbor told his parents and Brigette's son told one of his sisters.

Neither Emmanuel or Brigitte will say when it turned romantic; with Brigitte saying that there was nothing between them when he moved to Paris for school; but in the same interview she said that there was a connection when they were workshopping a play together on Friday nights and she couldn't wait for Fridays; and that was when he was 16.

He was 17 when he told her he was going to marry her. That was when he moved to Paris to finish his education. Brigitte thought he would find someone his own age, but they kept in contact and visited one another. She and her husband had long separated but they didn't divorce until a year before she married Emmanuel. The two waited to get married out of concern for her children.

And I Am Telling You…I’m Demented!

Sounds like your sleazy neighbor pretty much did exactly that r134. Really, he would've been more honest to just hire whores, and I seriously don't know why rich guys don't just do that instead of going through rituals of marriage they don't give a fuck about.
