France Cracked Down on Far-Right Corruption—And Team Trump Is Triggered

France did the thing that Democrats are too scared to. I hope it works
- Nothing to do with Democrats. This has everything to do with American Politics; Republican, Democratic, Independent.
  Corruptions only friend is freedom from responsibility and accountability. We have that pretty dialed in here in usa.
- He was charged. Judge Cannon postponed the hearing past the election. How is that on Democrats?
  
  It's not the job of politicians (or at least it shouldn't be) to prosecute criminals. However, if you count Merrick Garland as a "Democrat", he should have moved on Trump immediately after he left power. Instead, he sat on it. That was the first delay, and Judge Canon was the last. Blaming the last delay is obvious, but not the real story.
- there isnt a left in USA THOUGH, democrats are center right at most. they all kinda support some kind authoritarian leader.
  
  You're saying that like the massive variety among them is a monolith

Le Pen is reportedly accused of wrongfully diverting $5 million in funds earmarked for the European Parliament to staffers of her nationalist, xenophobic party, the National Rally, over a 12-year period.
I hate soft worded journalism. She isn't reportedly accused of shit. She was found guilty.
- Not soft worded. It's downright wrong.
- Didn't Farage also loot a bunch of EU funds?

Stop allowing criminals like Trump to run for office!
- Start putting criminals like Trump in prison!
- Like Trump is the operative wording. Problem is that if a criminal conviction prohibits one from running for political office, the fascist parties worldwide will absolutely use that requirement to automatically disqualify all their opponents by charging them with absolute bullshit crimes, that in many functional democracies are still crimes and most people don't know those laws even exist. No one knows how to legally define "like Trump," similarly to the fact that there is no clade of "fish."
  
  Just start enforcing the constitutional ban on insurrectionists holding office that the corrupt Supreme Court nullified.
  
  You are acting like they aren't already putting or trying tonout all their opponents in prison. Or worse.

Of course they're triggered. What if we did that in America? MAGA wouldnt get to be in power.

Given the number of kids Elon has had. His death would be one of the greatest acts of wealth redistribution humanity has ever seen.
- Except I seriously doubt any of his kids are going to get anything.
  
  Where do you think it'll go? genuine question.

Russian asset get's mad when another Russian asset get's pinned.

France has to crack down on fascism ... you know why? .... the people would literally burn the entire country down than allow fascism to raise its ugly head again in their country. They are the type of people that will rip up the asphalt and cobble stone, build walls and throw them at police to protest government.
The US think that they would do the same if it happened in their country but they'd rather wait until a full blown civil war is happening and government has directed drone strikes against their house ... but by then, there won't be much of a country left to save, or even have the remnants of a country worth saving.
- And the French never forget.
  In 2019 they vandalized 60% of all speed cameras in the country.
  They are still pissed over speed cameras. And seemingly more upset over mobile automated speedtrap vans. 50k cameras vandalized and over 2.5k had to be scrapped due to damage costing the French government an estimated 177mil euros.
  Simple things like this are why I love the French.
  
  Local government still has a legal obligation to ensure that every town and village has a functioning bakery, so no-one has a revolutionary urge.
  
  Yes, round our way the speed cameras are buried under a tower of tractor tyres. It's beautiful.
- People really have no clue what's going on in France, huh.
- Le Pen’s party got 30% of the votes last year. They won the popular vote. Just not enough constituencies to win the most seats. Fascism has raised its head already.
  
  They won the popular vote.
  70% of votes being against them is no mandate. And it doesn't matter. Fascist parties should be banned in any democracy, since they exist to destroy democracy.

France ought to do more than ban her from office.
- She was also sentenced to 4 years in prison (2 suspended) and a 100k€ fine.
  But she will (already has?) appeal this ruling. The ineligibity, however, was ruled to be immediate, even while the trail is awaiting appeal.
- Didn't they invent a machine that gives the closest shaves and haircuts you've ever seen? So close you will never need another again?
  
  yeah, but we don't kill people anymore, that's a fascist thing. Only the far right wants the guillotine back.

This is rather tame considering how France has historically handled its corrupt leaders and authoritarians.

Maybe the megalomaniac asswipe will write an executive order directing the French to pardon her.

Meanwhile, congress dems: damn, I just reached my one billionth twiddle! 🥳 🎂
