It appears that the French Republic is reaching a tipping point, a fundamental break with the way that rule has functioned here for three decades. Everything indicates that the political legitimization of racism and violent policing must either lead to tyranny or provoke an uprising. These two forces—tyranny and revolt—define the moment we are experiencing in France today. The confrontation is now permanent. In the following report, the second installment in our series leading up to the French elections, we explore these developments and the prospects for revolutionary movements in France.

A North Dakota man has pleaded guilty to stealing a forklift that he intended to use to flip Donald Trump’s limousine.

Gregory Lee Leingang, 42, was arrested in September 2017 for stealing the forklift and attempting to drive it into the president’s motorcade route while Mr Trump was visiting North Dakota to promote tax legislation.

“The intent was to basically try to get to the limo, flip the limo and get to the president and he wanted to kill the president”, said Brandi Sasse Russell, the assistant US attorney on the case, according to the Grand Forks Herald.

Leingang fled the scene after the forklift became stuck in a gated area, but was tracked down and arrested by local police.

Before the attempted limousine flip, Leingang started fires at the Bismarck Municipal Ballpark maintenance shop and the state parole and probation office — crimes that he pleaded guilty to committing.
