The damage in Bangkok is very surprising given that it’s 1400 kilometers from Mandalay. Apparently the fact it that was a very shallow quake caused it be felt so far from the epicenter.

Having said that, the building that collapsed was all but finished and was going to be a government building, so it shouldn’t have collapsed like that.

“Controversial influencer”

Fuck sake, I know news outlets have to be careful, but that is too much. He is facing multiple criminal charges over heinous crimes. That is not “controversial”.

The biggest concern for Le Pen is that the court may declare her ineligible to run for office “with immediate effect" — even if she appeals. That could prevent her from running for president in 2027. She has described such scenario as a “political death.”

Judges handed Le Pen a five-year ban on running for public office with the added provision that it would take immediate effect. It will apply even if she appeals.

Le Pen, who left the court before the hearing had finished, was also sentenced to four years in prison with two years suspended. She was handed a €100,000 fine. Neither the prison penalty nor fine would be applied until her appeals are exhausted.

Awaiting comments regarding a left wing stitch up.

Or,

They havent caught the rest yet.

I wouldn’t rejoice too much. Jordan Bardella, her right hand, very young, and a big believer and disseminator of the ‘Big Replacement’ theory, is very popular in France. He’ll no doubt take full advantage of this situation.

Faced with the unpalatable choice between an older and somewhat ‘wiser’ Marine Le Pen, and this reckless young fool, I know whom I’d chose…

It’s good if Le Pen is disqualified for a good length of time, but the ingredients that led to her rise are all still there, unfortunately. Which is to say, another will be along to fill her place.

I’m not sure it’s good at all.
We’ll have to wait and see what the fall out is. Who ‘takes over’ and their objectives and wishes for power.
There’s a lot worst than Le Pen even amongst ‘republican right’ who refused to join the republican front.
Can you say if Le Pen will be able to remain in control after this?

I’m over this woke madness. I remember back in the day when a “comedian” could do that and people understood it was just a joke.
