    Zero Hedge's Tyler Durden on whether Donald Trump will order Little
    Marco Rubio to order State.GOV's ambassador to .FR to protest their
    slide to kritocracy: <URL:https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/latest-blow-european-democracy-judge-rules-marine-le-pen-ineligible-run-president-2027>
    | Even the leader of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) Jean-Luc
    | Melenchon appeared ill at ease. "The decision to remove an elected
    | official should be up to the people," he said.
    |
    | RN president Jordan Bardella denounced the sentence on his X
    | account, calling it "unjust" and amounting to an execution of French
    | democracy.
    |
    | Mike Benz posted on X, summing things up succinctly:
    |
    || "They are fucking with something no democratic system should
    || ever fuck with. If people perceive -- rightly -- that democracy is a
    || farce, & anyone who runs against the order will be arrested, they'll
    || not only want to tear it down, they'll seek an honest autocracy over
    || false democracy."
    |
    | Observers have drawn parallels with US President Donald Trump, who
    | won a second term with a clutch of criminal cases hanging over him
    | and, like Le Pen, has made trenchant opposition to immigration a
    | cornerstone of his program.

    Will Peter Thiel's President JD Vance pardon Trump?

    "On March 18, Trump called for Boasberg's impeachment in a Truth
    Social post after calling him a "Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge."
    "This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges' I am forced to appear
    before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON'T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND
    DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY.
    MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" he wrote." - Nick Gilbertson <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/03/26/d-c-judge- assigned-to-signal-lawsuit-ruled-to-block-trumps-tda-deportations/>
