France Somehow Someway Managed To Elect A Prime Minister Who Is Younger Than The Age of 76 Which Apparently You're Allowed To Do

Gabriel Attal, the 34-year-old French education minister, has been named the country’s new prime minister, a history-making appointment by President Emmanuel Macron as he looks to jumpstart his government’s flagging popularity.

Attal will be France’s youngest-ever prime minister and the first openly gay man to serve in the post – making him one of the world’s most prominent and powerful LGBTQ politicians.

Attal, a rising star in Macron’s Renaissance Party, has served as minister of education and national youth since July. During his tenure, he enacted a controversial ban on the wearing of the abaya in French public schools and has worked on raising awareness of bullying in schools.

Not too often I say this but a huge shoutout to France. After the last decade, I had no idea that you were allowed to elect someone who shouldn't be in diapers. To me, that's pretty damn cool. 

I mean, think of it. 

You could have a President who doesn't fall off a bike.

You could have a President who can walk down a ramp normally.

You could have a President who doesn't get lost.

Or one who doesn't need to suck his teeth back before drinking water all weird.

I'd just like one person who can speak normally, coherently, and with more than about 5 adjectives. For the first time, I have something I want from the French minus that delicious melted cheese thing they do over the freshly baked bread. You ever had that shit? DELICIOUS.

I can't get enough of that stuff. I have, however, gotten enough of these old ass presidents. 

PS. Al Gore and Dan Quayle are older than Trump and Biden. They were Vice Presidents 24 and 28 years ago. Pretty cool.
