Emmanuel Macron has been declared the President of France after early vote counts:

France has a new president. Emmanuel Macron – an independent centrist who has never held elected office – has won a resounding victory over far-right, nationalist Marine Le Pen in the most important French presidential race in decades, according to early vote counts by the French Interior Ministry.

In early returns, Macron had won an estimated 65 percent of the vote to Le Pen's nearly 35 percent, according to the French Interior Ministry. Le Pen has already called to congratulate Macron and conceded defeat to a gathering of her supporters in Paris.

    You are no American! You are some trash that some other country did not want and ended up here! So double fuck you, unless you can tell us what tribe you are a legitimate member of, and don't say Cherokee! And if you cannot, get your ass back on a fricking boat to what every country you came from that raped you with Catholic priests, because American is NOT a Christian nation! We kill christians here, we make them take oaths on bibles, thus condemning their souls to hell! We have them imbibe the sacred herb, tobacco, so their god will reject them by their smell! We make them lie with a man as with a woman, or a sheep, or a Moon pie! So again their god will smite them, right in the cahones. And you are afraid of Muslims? You cowardly immigrant!
