If we only had courts that worked here.

The European Union is the single most anti-democratic entity in the Western world.

No single government body works harder to stop the will of the people.

The National Front, founded in 1972 by Jean-Marie Le Pen, brought together a wholesome assemblage of wartime Nazi collaborators and racist veterans of France's colonial blunders in both Algeria and Indochina.

Their descendants now openly cozy up with MAGA Christian nationalists and ethnosupremacist Zionists from Israel- the descendants of people they shoveled into gas chambers only 75 years earlier.

After all these years a Nazi is still a Nazi. Easily identified, forever a legitimate target.

Years ago this harridan Marine Le Pen threw her own father under the bus by kicking him out of the National Front, the party he established: www.rfi.fr

Not to worry... Trump just signed an EO exonerating Le Pen.

He also threatened to send Vance to Paris if they didn't honor it.

Elong, now a well known Nazi, coming to Le Pen's defense is not the flex he thinks it is. His Swasticar sales will continue to tank. Soon he'll be just a multimillionaire.

Hey Onenut, are you saying that there should be no rule of law if the offender is your political opponent? Go "F" your self with a barbwire bat. Rule of law means just that, whether you're an ally or an opponent.

Unfortunately we did not see enough of rule of law during the Biden Administration, he assigned a special prosecutor to prosecute and convict his son on charges that every former USA I saw talk about it, including Biden critic Trey Gowdy, said would never have been brought if the defendant's name was not Biden. Also, Dem Senator Bob Menendez convicted. But the DOJ had Dotard dead to rights on two righteous prosecutions for theft/retention of classified documents-obstruction of justice, and causing the J6 attempted insurrection. Both cases would have ended in conviction but Garland dragged his feet.

The same would not be true of the Drumpf regime, if they see an opportunity to prosecute an opponent they will not hesitate and likely will move forward with show trials lacking any probable cause later this year as a distraction if the economy is still in a Trumpcession and his polls continue to tank. They're already disappearing lawful US residents with ZERO due process, the same for political opponents is on the way.
