Weird flex….
he died of cancer 15 seconds later 😛
france is a fallen country,
Swam in a full wetsuit.
Just because you swim in it dont mean its not dirty
As if we would believe a politically motivated stud over actual data presented by professionals.
Since Macron is a gerontophile,such a deed ahead of the olympics should not be surprising…Makes you think of:”aaahh,aaahh,esse meine Scheisse..!”What else are they going to think of..?
Disgusting! Nobody should be forced to swim in that dirty waters..
