Thanks Merrick Garland (for not doing this to Trump two years ago and ‘letting Americans decide’).

Funny how corrupt these fascist parties are, isn't it?

Le Pen is almost certain to appeal, and neither the prison sentence nor the fine would be applied until her appeals are exhausted. But her five-year ban from running for office kicks in immediately. Follow our live coverage here: reut.rs/423azc5

Imagine that - consequences! The French know what happens when bad people are given too much power. I love that she is banned.

@skyblufr.bsky.social

She asked for people who steal money to be banned from elections and she got it

The 'provisional execution' ban will not see Le Pen removed from her seat in parliament until her mandate ends, though it will prevent her from running in any fresh electoral contest. Live coverage here: reut.rs/42oQyfW

does a suspended sentence followed by a tracker bracelet really count as prison? if i embezzled millions of euros of public money to fund hateful politics, i'd expect to be incarcerated. as it stands, she can order in, watch netflix, have friends over, write a book about "her struggle" etc.
