    Summary

    Donald Trump condemned France’s conviction of far-right leader Marine Le Pen, calling her four-year sentence and five-year political ban a “witch hunt” and likening it to his own legal battles.

    Le Pen was found guilty of embezzling EU funds and plans to appeal.

    Trump claimed the charges were politically motivated, calling them a “bookkeeping error” and urging France to “FREE MARINE LE PEN!”

    He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents. Le Pen’s National Rally party was fined $2 million.

      Just wait until he starts to call anything that disagrees with him non-human.

        I mean, 3 million euros is literal peanuts. Do be aware that this is a politically charged witch hunt.

        One that fortifies the EU and weakens Russia.

        I'm all for that

        Ah yeah you have no problem with the far-right, xenophobia or the fact she's the daughter of a torturer or the head of a party founded by the Waffen SS.

        The only issue is that she borrowed money from russia

            That is a fine mental gymnastic there.

            I hope I'm not erring on the side of over-simplifying reality to make it abide to my limited mental capabilities to comprehend it, but more likely it is them, "He and allies like Elon Musk", who by doing what they normally do are using the legal system to silence themselves.

                  "fine mental gymnastics"!?!?

                  There's a few American law firms that need to be listed here, just for starters.

                  'Fine', my ass

                        Please offer her asylum in the US.

                        And extend that offer to Orban, Fico, Farage, Abascal, Weidel and the rest of fascist scum.

                            In the Orange Goblin‘s world, why should criminals be prosecuted or sentenced instead of being pardoned? He should better deal with the mess he is creating at home and manage his own affairs.

                            Wilhoit's law.

                            Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

                                  For a period of 12 years. Where the country generated a GDP of 32 trillion euros.

                                  That's 0,0000125%.

                                  The hospital I work at requires this amount of money monthly to pay us wagies, excluding the doctors. We're like 1300 employees.

                                  The 200 doctors earn as much as we 1300 employees.

                                  I'm not saying it wasn't a misallocated fund, but the sheer amount is laughable.

                                  A drip in the bucket.

                                  The fact that she misallocated it, shows lack of integrity, and the amount is enough for us to call her out on it.

                                  We punish her mistakes. But the amount is nothing in the big picture.

                                    I get your point and she was fined a fair amount, in consideration of all this. It is important to remember though that the ineligibility isn't a punishment, it's a preventive measure so that she doesn't steals more than she did

                                        For a period of 12 years. Where the country generated a GDP of 32 trillion euros.

                                        That's 0,0000125%.

                                        The hospital I work at requires this amount of money monthly to pay us wagies, excluding the doctors. We're like 1300 employees.

                                        The 200 doctors earn as much as we 1300 employees.

                                        I'm not saying it wasn't a misallocated fund, but the sheer amount is laughable.

                                        A drip in the bucket.

                                        The fact that she misallocated it, shows lack of integrity, and the amount is enough for us to call her out on it.

                                        We punish her mistakes. But the amount is nothing in the big picture.

                                        I was recently charged 300 quid for a balls up by the tax man. I don’t think she’s been fined nearly enough.

                                          Oh for sure, guillotine her for all I care. But french folks like her 🤷🏻‍♂️ my french buddy voted for her instead of Macron.

                                          Personally I'd vote for Macron but I'm not french. If we could vote as EU citizens, I would vote for Macron
