Marine Le Pen’s first conviction rules out future presidential candidacies.

Donald Trump’s various convictions, 881,776 Covid deaths, armed insurrection & theft of classified documents made him president.

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

What I've read says she's only banned for 5 years from running for office.

Well, that’s the Achilles heel of democracy: that people can vote for their doom without realizing it until it’s too late.

Democracy ≠ elections
Democracy = random selection ‼️

Exactly and he never should have been allowed to run for any office

Amazingly that’s what a majority of voters here wanted. Go figure

Apparently Merrick Garland had never been to France

I am happy to hear this. But wonder who will take her place. There's always one more :(

They need a personality to build on. Once that person is out, it's hard to create the momentum they had before. Takes time.
Could be the death of it with what's happening in the US.

There are already many political parties on the far right with lots of president wannabes. Hope they'll split the far right vote between themselves and go down the oubliettes of history.

Viva La France! We have a person here that you can convict!

A crook with a rap sheet longer than the Constitution gets handed the keys to the White House. Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves.

america has lots of nice things, but he’s going to sell, plunder, or destroy most of them.

Ne vous réjouissez pas trop vite pour la France.
En tant que français, quand il s'agit d'affaires politico-financières, j'ai appris à me méfier.
Là on a tout la classe politique de gauche à droite qui se plain de la peine d'inéligibilité
(Nos politiques ont pris l'habitude d'être au dessus des lois)

Upper-middle class has plenty of nice things. But that's gonna change...

We can't have nice things with Republicans in charge. Only millionaires are allowed to have nice things.

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

(Who watches the watchers?)

Checks and balances are awesomely fantastic but they don't seem reliable in answering the question.

Trump & Co. have made that abundantly clear.

Merrick Fucking Garland…. Absolute bastard who brought all of this hell upon the earth.

Letting an insurrectionist traitor live has consequences.

Why doesn't the U.S. work that way?

fritzcokid.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do you suppose the Founding Fathers had a discussion about *all* the things that could disqualify a person from the Presidency and "convicted felon" was on the table but someone said, "No one in America would be dumb enough to vote for a felon, so no need to add that to the list of exclusions"? 🤨

I think Faux Fiction is the biggest culprit.

The US public needs to shake its collective head, get off its collective arse, and do something.

402,269 deaths... Johns Hopkins Dashboard numbers.

The rest... Absolutely!

amatteroffact5737.bsky.social•1 day ago

We can’t have nice things b/c Merrick Garland wanted to go out of his way to appear unbiased

So much so that he didn’t do his job

joycomes.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was a convicted felon and the USA allowed him to run again🤬 NOW he is destroying your country

Rich, white/orange, old men are above the law in America. It's in the constipatution. 😉

Ah yes... the difference between a real "rule of law" and the perception of a "rule of law." Welcome to #AmeriKKKa!

lmh82.bsky.social•2 days ago

Because we couldn't get convictions for most of that before the clock ran out.

tazgecko.bsky.social•2 days ago

Could never understand the US system where crime has a used-by date.

The way I read it, she's barred for five years, not "future presidential candidacies". The latter would be even more welcome - what did I miss? Thank you!

mebeforr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sometime I feel sad. The US can't impeach Trump, and the next VP Vance will be the same Trump, so we have to ensure this dark world for another 8 years. The case has not been settled in Federal Court or in Lower Court. Trump, outdated,everything.

Even putting aside all those other things, Trump cheated in the 2016 and 2020 elections. How was he not disqualified from participating again? Unlike in France, Brazil and Romania, in the US, democracy wasn't defended.

She could become President at a subsequent election.

If Bardella is elected President in 2027, she could be chosen as Prime Minister.

I would bet $10 that LePen runs in the next election and does well. Might win too.

Does no one understand that martyrdom always backfires?

What do they teach in schools these days?
