Also: BOO! to @washingtonpost.com for the puff piece they ran on Le Pen lieutenant Jordan Bardella. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/0...

France’s Jordan Bardella, the immigrant’s son who would target migrantswww.washingtonpost.com If his party wins Sunday’s election, Bardella would become France’s first far-right head of government since World War II.

Le Pen is an idiot climate change denying Nazi who loves Putin. Russia has very high inflation and whose economy is terrible (yet all the right-wingers love Putin, including most House Republicans in the US).

I know nothing at all about any of this, but I'd have expected Reconquest! to do better based on name alone.
