@MicroWave I am shocked, SHOCKED, by any suggestion that local Hitler enthusiast, Marine, 54, might be up to dodgy financial dealings.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I really would've never expected one of Putins closest allies to be involved in corruption somehow. Baffling.
Also authoritarians: I didn’t mean THAT kind of law and order. I’m exempt! Don’t you hear me? I’m exempt! Let go of me!
Fun fact: the US Marine Corps earned the nickname "devil dogs" from the Germans for their actions on D-day.
I say this because Le Pen's name is appropriate given this further evidence of how she is a demonic bitch.
Meet one of the original devil dogs. He virtually, single handedly, defeated fascism in 1933. Of course it isn't in history books, because the rich control the news.
"....a n organized conspiracy to overthrow the US government but it was not one hatched by a secretive Moscow-directed Communist cell. HUAC’s initial alarm was focused on a plot bankrolled by the owners of major US corporations — including Goodyear, US Steel, JP Morgan, Heinz, and Maxwell House."
Holy shit! They tried to get Smedley "I could teach Al Capone a thing or two," Butler to lead the business plot‽‽‽
I'm dying laughing, imagining how that exchange went down.
"You want me to what‽‽‽ Get your ass over here, cause I'm gonna kick it into the ICU!"
"Devil Dogs" dates back to WWI, it's nothing to do with D-Day.
They earned that nickname in the battle of Bellau Wood in WWI.
They famously were quoted as saying, "Retreat? Hell, we just got here!"
Here's a fun retelling of Dan Daly and the Devil Dogs

Ignore his politics, he gets the history correct
This was absolutely unexpected and I'm shocked aswell. I'm certain her supporters will be deeply touched by this and will now turn their backs on her
La pauvres! Ayez ce Riker avec un trombone.
En français : « Jouer une note aigre ».
Imagine letting a criminal get ahold of your highest office…
Only shit hole countries would allow that.
Yeah, what kind of ass-backward dumpwater lets that happen!? Third-world-problems, amiright?
Her party is also under investigation for embezzlement of public funds from the UE parliament.
Isn't it always? It seems that this happens every couple years.
I hope they lock her and her co-conspirators up after conviction.
Shock probe, that really is the worst kind too
And the hits just keep on coming.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The probe, which follows a preliminary inquiry, was opened last week over suspicions of embezzlement, forgery, fraud and a candidate on an election campaign accepting a loan, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed to POLITICO.
It follows a report from the national committee scrutinizing campaign spending (the CNCCFP) which alerted the Paris prosecutor’s office.
“I’m very surprised because our campaign expenses were approved in December 2022 and refunded in February 2023,” said an unnamed official from the National Rally, speaking to AFP.
In September, Le Pen is also set to go on trial along with 24 other people over alleged misuse of EU funds, after a seven-year investigation into allegations that the National Rally used public funds, which were meant for EU parliamentary assistants, to pay party staff.
According to Libération, Le Pen herself faces accusations of embezzlement of public funds and risks a fine and up to 10 years in jail.
Le Pen’s National Rally was also fined in 2023 for misuse of company assets, following an investigation into the over-billing of party campaign kits during the 2012 parliamentary election.
