Step 1) The Left cheats and steal the election.
Step 2) The Left arrests the political opposition for violating election laws in the election they just “lost”.

The same thing here in Israel.

they have Bibi on trial for bribery...........and they call him The Crime Minister, yet they ignore the former PM Ehud Olmert who was actually imprisoned for real fraud and bribery!

yep, it’s lawfare 100%.

I’m sure everything will be fine in our next election. I’s looking good for the good guy, his polls are really high.

And that was Marine’s problem, she went into her election and her polls stunk.

“Twice is coincidence.”

I’ve learned when dealing with nefarious parties that there is no such thing as a coincidence.

“The left does this and that...”

At least they want power and know how to use it. As long as the GOP exists and serves its purpose - which is to prevent the development of a hard right that wants power and knows how to use it - expect more of the same.

If it is legal in Israel and America, then it must be ok in France.

The proper place for tyrants is in their graves
