Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.

Summary

France’s top court upheld former President Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction for corruption, mandating a one-year house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor.

Sarkozy, barred from office for three years, was found guilty of bribing a judge for case information in exchange for job assistance.

Despite plans to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, this ruling marks a final domestic legal defeat.

Sarkozy faces ongoing trials, including allegations of Libyan campaign financing. Once a key political figure, he is now the first post-war French president convicted and sentenced to jail time.

In a way but you should see the amount of crap he got away with.

This is basically akin to getting the unabomber for using fake stamps. 🤣
