If you're going to buy an election, at least be subtle about it.

Howcome everybody in the world -- Brazil, South Korea, and Romania just recently -- is better at holding these right-wing traitors accountable than we are? Is it just the overly-deliberative nature of our justice system, or something else?

You ask that second question in present tense. Was is more appropriate. They've fired 18 IG's, hired the Faux News weekend AA group chair to run DoD, and now are refusing to sign arrest warrants based on party loyalty. Europe should move on. We're gonna have our hands full, I expect. Murica'! 😒😮‍💨

Well done for routing such a traitor out.

Why is this BBC report giving so much space to what Americans have said about this? That's not journalism. That's trying to influence opinion in the anglo world.

When police in Romania pulled over Călin Georgescu, the far-right presidential candidate got his driver to film it all and ship the clip to an influencer known to be close to Elon Musk.

annemiekvanmoorst.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Musk swiftly responded by wrongly telling his 219 million followers on X yesterday that Georgescu had been arrested and adding that “this is messed up.”

Any country that is even remotely suspect that a candidate for presidential election is involved with Russia or shows Russian sympathies should do the same. Also block most social media during the last few weeks leading up to the election.

You should ONLY have pro Romanian politicians. Nothing else.

It's a world-wide cabal of Far-Right, hate-driven, fear mongering mad-men being lead by the dick-tater from Western Russia (the old America) and the dick-tater from Russia (proper). They all use the same playbook: Starve the poor, reap the riches. The Earth is burdened by the weight of ignorance.

Should all of em be executed? Yes

Should the same happen to the AFD in Germany? Yes

Should the same happen to LePen in France? Yes

Should the same happen to Nigel Farage in the UK? Yes

Should the same happen to Trump in the US? Yes

Will it happen? No

A couple of American media outlets are reporting $10M in a safe... hmm?

cheapheat.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was taken for questioning. He wasn't arrested. Even for a POS like him it's innocent until proven guilty.

Remember way back when last week when JD Vance used him as an example of European repression of free speech? This were the days..

Intriguing that those who lived under Russian rule want it back.

darrenschemmer.bsky.social•7 hours ago

They dont. That's the point. He only fkashed onto the scene because of a Ryssia-supported social media campaign targeting Romanians too young to remember Ceaucescu.

Today's Romania will never forget the regime that did so much harm to the population. Bravo!

He was not submitting his candidacy, he was on his way for an online interview with a MAGA influencer.. he is supported by russia and trump as well… we’re in between . All europeans should be like the ukrainians , fighting on all borders

Good. This is how we must deal with pro-Ru candidates in 2025. Do not assume they will be rejected at the ballot box.

And when the links to Russia are revealed - and they assuredly will be, he and his top lieutenants should be taken forth into the street and publicly executed for treason. You can’t go easy on fascists. Democracy is not synonymous with leniency. Ask the Athenians.
