The EU commission president is threatening Italy with sanctions if the wrong parties win tomorrow’s election.

“We will see the result of the vote in Italy,” said von der Leyen. “If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.”

Brussels is already withholding funds from Hungary and Poland because the “wrong” parties have won elections there.

How long before Democrats implement similar plans here?

Sounds an awful lot what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer said before the 2020 election.

I do recall Pelosi claiming that “no matter what the outcome of the election, Trump would not be President.”

Given Biden’s rants about MAGA Republicans, expect court more challenges to remove Republicans from the ballot.

The EU is withholding funds to member states who elect EU-skeptics and populists to power. Ironically they are doing this in the name of “saving democracy”.

Democrats could do the same here if they retain control over Congress. Biden has already said that his political opposition a threat to democracy and a threat to the republic. The logical solution is to create a one-party police state where the opposition is banned from the ballot, and opposition leaders are thrown in prison.

They already tried to banana republic it up on J6. Head clown is still asking for a do-over on the election he lost. Looks like the same nonsense that goes down with populist strong-men south of our border, because it is.

Logical solution is to spotlight the authoritarian red hats, like Biden has already done, in hopes that the remaining normal people in the Republican party will give them a wide berth.

"This text is yet another attempt by the federalist European political parties to attack Hungary and its Christian-democratic, conservative government for ideological reasons,

This guy lists off those adjectives like religious conservative governments don’t have an extensive history of just being terrible. The less of them exist, the better. EU ain’t the bad guy for recognizing that.

Looking like the Italians have had enough authoritarian jackboot thuggery and are giving the whole arm to Brussels.

Wait until it gets cold, whole lot of EU governments are going to be in deep trouble.

Some people have to bump a few times before they learn a lesson. It seems that Italy is comprised of many such people.

Democrats are socialists and communists.

Right now they are acting like fascists. Or am I the only paying attention to their corporate collusion?

Seems like the EU is in disarray.

Where would anyone get the idea that Biden won the election based on voter fraud?

Biden supporters within the government are rapidly creating a fascist police state. The FBI and DOJ has become Biden’s secret police. Their primary function is to entrap, harass, and intimidate anyone who opposes Biden. Likewise, the CIA blatantly interfered in the election by placing gag order on the Hunter Biden story by falsely claims that the laptop was Russian disinformation. If Biden is looking for enemies of democracy, they are working for him in Washington.

Yes, the EU is facing a huge, self-inflicted energy crisis. The sanctions war with Russia that NATO initiated in March will result in severe shortages for fuel this winter.

There are two likely outcomes in coming months. One is that nations within the EU have elections that result in new government that will change the policy.

The other is that EU officials will push more authoritarian policies to end protests and ignore voters.

Van Der Leyen is clearly moving down the second path. This is the path towards a fascist dictatorship.

So yeah, if that storyline is all the justification needed to overturn an election and forcibly install a populist strongman, then those people are definitely a threat to the republic.

The left considers everyone who wants limited immigration and who doesn’t believe there are as many genders as Heinz products to be fascists. Biden just called at least a third of the American population semi fascist.

Which Presidential elections (since, say, Carter) that they lost have Democrats accepted?

The EU is facing an interest rate crisis not an energy crisis.
Energy is just the most visible part.

Germany for example . . . 27% of it as energy was from nat gas. 55% of the 27% came from Russia.

Just 27% of 55% of energy (and energy was never more than 10% of the German economy.)

Russia was the ■■■■■ that popped the bubble, but bubbles pop, that’s what they do.

because the euro socialist trash said so?
