Or this?
The chickens are coming home to roost

That’s why they gave thousands of drones to Vladimir Putin to bomb Ukrainian civilians
8·2 months agoThey are social-liberals. They believe a competitive market economy is required to have a sustainable healthcare and welfare system. They believe in climate change but they don’t want extreme measures. They prefer slow measures such as banning plastic or encouraging electric cars. They support Ukraine. They sent aid to Palestine and imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers but don’t believe the problems of the Middle East can ever be fixed by outsiders. They support nuclear technology. They support legal abortion. They oppose death penalty.
Leftists see Renaissance as right-wing / extreme-right.
The extreme-right sees them as leftists.

Now he is trying to destroy her.
If you want to know what it’s like to run a social media empire, I highly recommend reading her book. It’s terrific and entertaining.
In fact, everyone should buy her book
Most polisaring figure on the French left.
There are two kind of people in France. Those who really like him. And those who don’t.

The kind of people who vote for her don’t do that kind of deep research.
On the 3th of october 2023, the newspaper Le Monde published an extremely well-writen investigation about her behavior. Because she is the girlfriend of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, her party boss, she doesn’t hesitate to humiliate people:
On the 6th of october, 3 days later, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was visiting Morocco. Believing he was far from any french journalists, he made this confession to Moroccan students:
I don’t care about what’s in the press. Who reads newspapers? People prefer to watch our viral videos. We are in the amazing age of social media
Chikirou is not left. She is a tankie nutjob.
🔴 She is know for screaming on her assistants
🔴 In parliament, she voted against aid to Ukraine, arguing “This would be bad for peace”
🔴 She said China isn’t a dictatorship
🔴 She paid tribute to the leader of Hamas
🔴 She compared socialists to insects that must be crushed
Last but not the least, she is criminally indicted for financial fraud:
This is a woman so toxic that nobody wants to associate with her.
When she joined the race, she said her main goal is to make sure the socialist loses:
The LFI candidate made any alliance impossible.
Chikirou spent her entire campaign attacking Hidalgo and Grégoire.
She even made campaign ads with pictures of Grégoire and Anne Hidalgo, blaming them for kids drowning and sexual assault cases in schools
“1 child drown. 52 children sexually abused. Their legacy”
Because they are also getting lavishly paid.
I have been on 20 public company corporate boards, not counting any Berkshire subsidiaries. So, I’ve seen a lot of corporate boards operate. And the independent directors, in many cases, are the least independent
I mean, if the income you receive as a corporate director â which typically may be around $250,000 a year now, if that’s an important part of your income, and you hope that some other corporation calls the CEO and says, “How’s so-and-so as a director?” and the current CEO â your CEO says, “Oh, he’s fine and never raises any problems,” and then you get on another board at 250,000 and that’s an important part, how in the world is that independent? I mean, I really, just an observation
They’re just not going to upset the apple cart, because what they’re â and I’d probably behave the same way in the same position. I mean, if $250,000 a year is important to you, why in the hell would you behave in a way that’s going to cause your CEO to say to the next CEO, “This guy acts up a little bit too much. You really better get somebody else.” It’s the way it works
