  • I don’t know how politicaly motivated the harshness of the judgment was (and not in a “the politics in power wanted her gone”, more in a “the judiciary system realised shit is hitting the fan between US crazyness and Russian influence and decided to take a step and make an example”) but the evidence were damming.

    Proof is: the defense didn’t even try to fight the evidence, rather the interpretation of it and the harshness of the sentence.

    Another point to keep in mind: an ex president is being judged for corruption and the sentence requested by the DA is enormous. Apparently the judiciary system publicly told they wanted to put an end to a perceived leniency on the politics and regain public trust.

    I’m just afraid this will result in an opposite effect.

    As I biologist I understand:

    -*random bio subject in conversations.

    -oh but you’re biologist right? Is that true?

    -well, I know just enough to be able to tell you the level of my ignorance on the subject. Unless it’s linked to my master thesis (which is probably obsolete by now) no need to ask me.














  • The RN (Rassemblement National, Baredella’s party) spent (at least) the last ~20 years trying to get rid of their neo-nazi reputation.

    They managed to hid the old head of the party in the closet (and they are probably thankful he passed away this year and stopped undermining their effort with his racist and Holocaust denial rants).

    Now they finally manage to “un-devil” themselves up, have a fresh coat of paint as a “just partially xenophobic, there are good ones”, slightly pro-putin (only when it’s not too obvious, such as financing) illiberal far right.

    During last election a large part of the French citizen choose to ignore their past and votes for them, making them a strong force…

    They are finally in a position where their long term goal is within reach: win the presidential (executive branch) election. They nearly did last time, they have a nice clear path for the next ones.

    A shame that their US counterpart is 50 years behind. No way they’d let them the remove the camouflage in public, no matter how well he did at home.

    I’d like to point out he still choose to go at the meeting though… That should mean a lot to French with three working neurons…
