    God, it is just never ending with these people. Bannon spent years running around Europe acting like the grand architect of sovereignty, and the whole time he was just trying to pimp out our elections to Jeffrey Epstein? It is the ultimate hypocrisy. These far-right parties like the League and the AfD love to scream about foreign interference from Brussels or Washington, yet they were more than happy to be the project of a disgraced American strategist looking for cash from a literal monster.

    It makes me sick how cheap our democracy apparently is to guys like this. Salvini and Le Pen pretend they are for the common man, but they are basically just pawns in a power game played by the weirdest, most dangerous billionaires on the planet. I am so tired of seeing these patriots sell out their own countries to anyone with a checkbook and a private jet.

    The worst part is that their core voters probably won’t even care. They will just pivot to some new conspiracy theory instead of admitting their leaders were cozying up to the Epstein circle. We really need a full inquiry into this, because if American extremists are using that kind of money to tilt European elections, it is a massive security threat, not just a regular scandal.
