1. IQ test. Who has tea with Putin? nt (no tea)

[Martin68]

23. Nobody does it twice.

[Abnredleg]

2. The Le Penn visit was Pre COVID

It was taken in 2017 while the Macron photo is recent so it's a little misleading. No denying her closeness to the Kremlin, however.

11. It's symbolism.

[UTUSN]

16. Thanks. I don't get why any offhand point has to be held to pedantic standards!1

[Jakes Progress]

3. The US elected tfg. Britain elected johnson.

How many stupid people live in France?

[Oppaloopa]

6. Hopefully not as many as live in America.

[Jakes Progress]

17. Dunno. Stupidity seems pretty universal.

Not a majority, but big enough to gum up the works.

[PatSeg]

21. Yes exactly

These people are no longer fringe anymore. 40% is very disturbing and enough to cause a lot of damage. Yes, it does seem to be universal which is horrifying. It is like a zombie apocalypse.

22. I think they were alway there, but now

twitter and other social media helped them find each other, while putin and the republicans used those sites to spread lies and take advantage of the natural gullibility of stupid people. They were fed lies that thinking people would never have believed, but republicans bank on the stupidity of their voters to carry their agenda of anti-democracy forward.

[PatSeg]

24. Yes, I think you're right

Without social media, right-wing media, and people like Putin, the poison would have stayed more local for the most part. Rather a perfect storm for authoritarians and tyrants.

4. Sums it up pretty well

5. What is at the base(s) of the upper table?

There appear to be pipes with black rectangles.

[Backseat Driver]

14. What are you getting at?

Appears to be stylized pillars with multiple electrical outlets for electronics and/or charging of electronics and/or out-of-conference room translating capabilities? Every seat gets their own "secure" circuit? LOL...in the Kremlin?

[pandr32]

19. Perhaps

The smaller table seems to have openings where it fans out at the bottom and I have noticed all the tables--even in other pictures have bases that seem to have some purpose other than ugly design.

7. Uh, I think this is an oversimplification.

[Sherman A1]

8. Yes, it is

More Twitter nonsense.

[Jakes Progress]

18. Does you post mean that you think Macron

will be as accommodating of putin's wishes as le penn?

[mrsadm]

20. Absolutely not.

[Joinfortmill]

10. No shit. You get what you vote for.

[Pas-de-Calais]

12. Hope & pray French voters are

Smarter than
Brits
&
Americans

Were with their leaders

[dalton99a]

13. Yep.

[UTUSN]

15. Excellent -
