Said Emmanuel Macron, quoted in "'It’s Nonsense': Macron Plays Down Video of Shove From Wife/The French president, Emmanuel Macron, was pushed in the face as he left a plane in Vietnam. The bigger issue, he said, was the reaction, part of a string of disinformation by 'crazy people'" (NYT).
How can so many things NOT be true? Such wacky things — all involving hands — and all caught on camera?
1. Here's the hand thing with Erdogan. Come on. That's not nothing!
2. Here's the hide-the-cocaine sleight of hand.
3. And here's the hand of his wife pushing him in the face.
How do all these things happen to one man?

If this were Trump the NYTimes would not be quoting Trump. They would be quoting democrats promoting lies about Trump. The NYTimes lied for 8 years, nothing they write should ever be believed.
Imagine if he'd done that to her.
Macron shows here how utterly stupid he is. The people doing this to him almost certainly are doing so to torment him politically- the truth of the events, whatever it actually is, isn't the point.
This is the gander not liking the sauce.
Child rape victims, especially ones who are being physically abused by their rapist on a continuing basis, frequently are required to go out and lie to the public.
Macron needs help. Now.
It’s how to tell him he’s a goner without actually saying “Tu es parti.”
Macron is a creep and a fascist.
France has always been a corrupt state. There is a reason it throws the best revolutions.
According to the New York Post, if your teacher is raping you, then you're having an "affair." This is the best news for child rapists since The View's Whoopie Goldberg announced that anal sex with underage children really isn't "rape-rape."
Here's The Post's headline... Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s scandal-plagued relationship: From student-teacher affair to the shocking physical altercation
Brigitte began raping Emmanuel while he was a student and she was his teacher/rapist. She continues physically abusing him to this day, in the open. With society's permission. Because men are taught to keep their emotions bottled up so that their female rapists and abusers can continue getting away with it.
This is known colloquially as a "pussy pass."
I liked that friendly wave he gave when caught on camera. He's definitely got elan, and he keeps his weight under control. He's so much smoother than Gov. Walz or Kamala's husband.
These things keep happening to him, because he's a squish.
Again, how did the French elect this guy?
Oh, they're the French.
"...So everyone needs to calm down and focus ..."
Dude, saying things like that is what got you in trouble in the first place.
Rise of the beta : Why men today are so feminine
The Macrons, Trudeau, Zelensky, Merkel,
Jacinda Ardern.
@FormerLawClerk -- agree. I suspect he was abused before he met Madame, which made him vulnerable to her assault.
Macron is a fop, perfect for France
I’m just want to note the concept of “how many things cannot be true?” seemed to be the strategy of charging Trump and also X number of “experts” signed… turns out ALL has a higher probability than some want to believe.
Hand Thing No.1 Turks are handsy. Men who barely know each other will walk hand in hand unselfconsciously. It means nothing more than let's make a deal. You can see it in Erodgǎn's eyes: This cluck is determined to embarrass me. I go through shit, and still get rejected.
Hand Thing No. 2 That the ruiners of Europe are a trio of cokeheads explains the chaos more succinctly than anything else.
Hand Thing No. 3 Be glad it was only a shove, cuck.
Micron is known to do little moves during handshakes designed to project dominance, think of it like a face off in ice hockey, and Erdogan was having none of it.
I wonder if Macron ever got "The Tap"?
She didn't do it; she did it out of love; believe all women. Anybody who doubts this is a misogynist.
I guess it’s complicated — even by French standards.
Look, nobody had a better view of Brigitte's swing then Macron, so if he says it didn't happen, it must not have happened.
Why would he lie?
The first two, whatever. I am concerned about him being shoved in the face. No one is worried about whether he was having a fight with his wife. They can fight all they want. No one cares. I'm worried about her use of demeaning physical aggression.
If Macron was a tree, he would be a pussy willow.
Ack… was going to write “I’m just leaving this here”. Edited to “I just want to”, and left the “I’m”…
“Don’t be ridiculous — I never Share my bags of cocaine!”
"So everyone needs to calm down and focus on the real news...."
That real news being his desperate attempts to deflect our attention from his behavior.
Macron was slapped in the face during the campaign, so all this is hardly new.

^ watch the slap, and then watch again...
That bag of cocaine looks a lot more like a crumpled paper napkin, in the close-up shot.
Macron is trying to rally Europe for Ukraine against Russia and suddenly there's a lot of bad press. So very strange.
Yeah, Russia is the country filling the press with lies. Macron couldn't win an election in France for dogcatcher. He was able to win power, but the voters had little to do with it. His last budget he simply passed by decree because he could not get it past the National Assembly.
But yeah, he is Ukraine's man in France, and in fact, Zelensky's personal security is handled by France, as a way of seeing to it that the man who banned elections in Ukraine doesn't get replaced at the hands of any of those pesky Ukrainians, whose only job it is is to die for the neocons.
President Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a former nursing home executive who was sentenced to prison for tax crimes, after Walczak’s mother went to a $1 million-per-plate dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Man its nice to be the King huh? Especially a criminal one releasing criminals for a little $$$. Good Golly Miss Molly ,,,for a few dollars more..
Given that it is only France, I suspect no one is saying this is a "global catastrophe."
"Who are you gonna believe? Me, or your lying eyes?"
Joe Biden made Anthony Blinken Secretary of State after Blinken paid Biden $1 million dollars for a no show "teaching job" at Penn, at least there is no record of Biden teaching any classes, as his only appearances at Penn were paid affairs where tickets were sold. Secretary of State. Money laundering. You had zero problem with any of this, even as it was well known way before it leaked that Joe Biden was not a stutterer, but actually an empty shell.
If Reagan was the empty shell that lefty commenters here claim, then why aren't we being pointed to any of the dozens of press conferences that Reagan gave, right up to when he left office, with some obvious evidence of cognitive decline. These videos are all over YouTube. I guess Democrats can do 2500 panels with swing voters, but can't watch a few dozen videos.
“How do all these things happen to one man?”
It’s teh “Hand of Fate”.
Dinky forgets about the 1,000 pardons Biden sold. You can’t make this up.
"How do all these things happen to one man?"
Sac Pitieux.
Grok says the equivalent idiom to my previous comment is 'pauvre type,' or 'pauvre mec.'
How do all these things happen to one man?
Unscientific empiricism.
Despite lots of claims about 'fake news', the press rarely can make things up out of whole cloth, especially about famous people and certainly rarely with video. Not saying there isn't a lot of willful misinterpretation but as our hostess says, it's not nothing.
The Erdogan thing was definitely... something. And the wife slap was definitely something.
But the "bag of cocaine"? That really does look like a crumpled tissue/napkin to me.
Erdogan looked a bit like Biden there.
Cherchez la femme
Macron deserves the ridicule. He is ridiculably rediculous, in personality and politics.
Macron — and experts — blame Russia
Macron specifically denounced "networks that are quite well-traceable," as the AFP translates, including French extremists and "the Russians." – NPR
LO forking L.
“ How do all these things happen to one man?”
In the words of John Prine, oh how lucky can one man be.
It’s the probability of having your finger grabbed times the probability of having a bag of cocaine times the probability of getting hit by your wife on film, assuming that the three events are independent and identically distributed. Very small but not zero.
