He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents.
Every accusation is an admission.
Ah yes, that left-wing government with a banker president. I guess everything is regarded as left by Trump.
Well, if you're far enough to the right, everything is to your left.
Anything he disagrees with is 'the left'
Just wait until he starts to call anything that disagrees with Putin and him non-human.
Macron left wing ? Best joke I heard in a long time XD As i understood she got immediate ineligibility because she claimed being innocent despite all the proofs showing she was the main administrator of this system of embezzlement (also, she advocated for years the use of ineligibility for politics accused of something during their mandate)
What is the expulsion of students for legal protest if not that?
Projecting, as they always do
I rather legal system than out the window system.
Since America has now set a precedent for letting criminals get away with shit if they run for office, I wanna see Luigi Mangione run for congress
Can you imagine if he turns "full on maga", sings trumps praises, claims woke mind virus made him do it. Trump Pardons him and invites him to the white house. He 2 for 1s Trump and musk
Luigi wouldn't lose any votes if he gunned someone down on avenue of the americas
He just needs to start wearing a MAGA hat at his court appearances.
Ha, go fuck yourself cheeto (France probably).
Not just France. Saying that in the US, too.
Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.
How is he aware of her bookkeeping?
Was he doing it?
I wouldn't be surprised.
It's just not a bookkeeping error, there are internal emails where they state that they wouldn't be able to keep the lights on without paying their staff with our taxes.
Uh, le fuck off.
Please offer her asylum in the US.
And extend that offer to Orban, Fico, Farage, Abascal, Weidel and the rest of fascist scum.
Please please don't. You're setting great examples by putting them in prisons. Nobody anywhere needs American fascists getting reinforcements. It's better for everyone that they be incarcerated, banned from public office, and their wealth seized. If they can be rehabilitated, fine. Maybe. Otherwise let them rot.
Yes Trump we know you love fascism, and that it's easier to establish fascist systems when laws are set aside.
Now would you kindly fuck off, and preferably go shoot yourself.
BOYCOTT USA NOW!!
On behalf of France to Trump:
Va te faire foutre.
I think for this one we can dust off one of my old favourites: "va te faire enculer à sec avec du gravier".
She won't see an actual jail unless she seriously fuck-up, most of the sentence is suspended and as the remaining time is under two years she has the right to request house arrest or any other alternative sentence.
So the remaining sentence is that she can't run at next presidential election (provided that she doesn't get something else in appeal before the election).
Obvious reminder that if you or I would have stole 4 millions Euro we would see an actual jail.
French here. Donald, take care of your burning house before you step in ours.
He's being ordered by Putin on his behalf, le penne is putins agent
Everything this idiot does, I look at through the eyes of the kremlin. That makes it make sense.
He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents
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.
Rule of law 101
I guess he realizes he would be in the same boat as her if America had a functional legal system. Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit, thinking he has the self-awareness to compare his situation to hers.
trump must vouch for Le penne because she is also a russian asset, and putin will be disappointed of he doesnt.
How unsurprising and tiring. It's always the same.
It was not a witch hunt, it was a bitch hunt. And it succeeded.
He "demands", how cute...
Trump is a cunt. Sorry that’s disrespectful.
President Trump is a cunt.
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.
He keeps calling on France to do stuff when France is the country least likely to do said stuff.
Hell no. Don’t let that right wing criminal free. We should have thrown our Orange Turd into jail.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
