Please offer her asylum in the US.
And extend that offer to Orban, Fico, Farage, Abascal, Weidel and the rest of fascist scum.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

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.
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
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
They're arguing that as if they're not doing that exact thing themselves, as if they ain't silencing their critics. Worst part is he's disguising himself as a libertarian and someone who's pro free-speech, when his ideas of libertarianism only extend to his govt. and cronies and his ideas of freedom of speech extend to his own views and his own supporters. He's using the guise of being censored himself to censor literally anyone who opposes him.
What's funny is that the French government is not "left-wing".
By comparison with MAGA they are.
In comparison with the US democrats they are.
By comparison with US in general Europe is living in communist utopia :)
"fine mental gymnastics"!?!?
There's a few American law firms that need to be listed here, just for starters.
'Fine', my ass
Everything this idiot does, I look at through the eyes of the kremlin. That makes it make sense.
Trump = Krasnov
trump must vouch for Le penne because she is also a russian asset, and putin will be disappointed of he doesnt.
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.
Wilhoit's law.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
He so goddamn embarrassing.
I mean, 3 million euros is literal peanuts. Do be aware that this is a politically charged witch hunt.
One that fortifies the EU and weakens Russia.
I'm all for that
4 million euros is not peanuts when your population is 69 million
For a period of 12 years. Where the country generated a GDP of 32 trillion euros.
That's 0,0000125%.
The hospital I work at requires this amount of money monthly to pay us wagies, excluding the doctors. We're like 1300 employees.
The 200 doctors earn as much as we 1300 employees.
I'm not saying it wasn't a misallocated fund, but the sheer amount is laughable.
A drip in the bucket.
The fact that she misallocated it, shows lack of integrity, and the amount is enough for us to call her out on it.
We punish her mistakes. But the amount is nothing in the big picture.
I was recently charged 300 quid for a balls up by the tax man. I don’t think she’s been fined nearly enough.
Oh for sure, guillotine her for all I care. But french folks like her 🤷🏻♂️ my french buddy voted for her instead of Macron.
Personally I'd vote for Macron but I'm not french. If we could vote as EU citizens, I would vote for Macron
I get your point and she was fined a fair amount, in consideration of all this. It is important to remember though that the ineligibility isn't a punishment, it's a preventive measure so that she doesn't steals more than she did
Ah yeah you have no problem with the far-right, xenophobia or the fact she's the daughter of a torturer or the head of a party founded by the Waffen SS.
The only issue is that she borrowed money from russia
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.

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
Perfection
Prez. Luigi for Prez. At least he’s actually done something for the people.

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.
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)

Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.
Uh, le fuck off.
Why would Trump be helping a Putin pawn? I have absolutely no idea...
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.
