It’s only mildly assuring the Trump family corruption is even too much for the Albanians, As Ann Applebaum has observed, you only achieve such a complete collapse of democratic institutions by electing persons who allow and even encourage starving or killing institutions and safeguards.

He was always the full 9 yards fascist, clearly.

While working for the US government he kept a lid on it, or not, depending on the case scenario.

He is dead in terms of furthering his career as LEO or similar. Nor does he have a single thing he can present as a consultant or a speaker that will be listened to by a mainstream audience. Totally tainted his brand with his actions.

So he has one choice, go all in on the parts that were controversial and develop the audience segment that will listen. So white fascism is all he has left to grift on and get that little ego stroked.

At age 17, Sellner admitted to vandalizing a Vienna synagogue with a swastika. Years later, he became a leader in Generation Identity, the pan-European white nationalist group.

In 2019, he accepted a donation from, and exchanged emails with, a man named Brenton Tarrant, who a short time later massacred 51 Muslims at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

He seems nice. /s

Perhaps the US government and the German government have secret money allocated to mutual consulting fees so that Bovino and Sellner can evangelize their Weimar solutions and make western countries great again!

I appreciate the thumbnail sketches of European fascist bosses and getting a taste of their words. Bovino was in his element.

These guys remind me of Dick Tracy villains, vividly ugly and bad to the bone. Except that these guys are stupider than those comic strip thugs.

Greg “I didn’t know you could stack shit that high” Bovino was already full fascist. This is just an acknowledgement of what we already knew.

Just to clarify, the conference was held in the coastal town of Figueira da Foz. I know this because I live 30 minutes east. It´s a good 60 minutes plus from Porto by high-speed train.

I hear 60 Minutes may be looking for new “journalists” just now. Bovino could be just the kind of guy Bari Weiss is looking for.

“60 Minutes, We’re not just pretty faces anymore.”

True. And, I don’t think he sees that as a problem. He is an ideologue and also not really a long range thinker about his career path.
