A member of Viktor Orban's inner circle has resigned after the Hungarian prime minister spoke out against becoming "peoples of mixed race".
Zsuzsa Hegedus, who has known the nationalist Mr Orban for 20 years, described the speech as a "pure Nazi text",

Isn’t Victor speaking at CPAC soon

Just what magical monetary skills do you attribute to Trump?

Trump had the worst jobs history of any modern president, it wasn’t just the pandemic.
Job growth under Trump was at a lower pace than most presidents
He took office at the top of the economic cycle and took it down with, increased tariffs, increased government spending, cut taxes, increased the deficit.

Things have improved since Biden took office

It’s not perfect but we have
-low unemployment
-steady job growth
-higher savings
The world is not ending and Americans won’t let MAGA end this country.

Americans are waking up to the fact that Trump was incompetent, without ethics and a malignant narcissist.

Then you need to look at what happened on their watch

Job growth under Trump was at a lower pace than most presidents
He took office at the top of the economic cycle and took it down with, increased tariffs, increased government spending, cut taxes, increased the deficit.

Trump said yesterday that he wanted a quick trial and execution for drug dealers, and that each one executed would save 500 lives.

In his last week in office, Trump pardoned 13 people convicted of selling or trafficking drugs.

Never mind the rule of law
Execution is the answer
The final solution
Who will be next after drug dealers?

For the Republican establishment, there are no real limits or red lines. Bigotry, conspiracy, anti-democracy--all are to be overlooked in the service of victory for the Party.

First overlooked. Then rationalized. Then justified. Ultimately...embraced.

And really, what says American Greatness more than massive internment camps, executions, border walls, federal troops in the streets, coups, and the mockery of sexual minorities?

‘It Could Backfire’: House Democrats Urge DCCC to Stop Propping Up Pro-Trump Primary Candidates

The DCCC recently spent $425,000 on a campaign ad to boost a pro-Trump candidate in a Michigan GOP House primary.

I’d agree with Liz Cheney on that

"No party, Democrat or Republican, should be promoting candidates who perpetuate lies about the 2020 election and try to undermine our democracy. We all have a responsibility and obligation to put our duty to the country above partisan politics."

Your lonely poll says nothing about the Stable Genius’s policies
Zero
In spite of Americans continued economic gains they chose, going against tradition, to dump Trump.

They saw that he failed to deliver on any of his promises other than tax cuts and McConnell’s Supreme Court justices.

No healthcare
No Infrastructure
No withdrawal from ME
Riots in the streets
Sending troops to attack protesters
Impeached twice
Historic number of administration members indicted
Rampant nepotism
Blatant disregard of the traditions that define American democracy
A little bleach, some bright light, horse medicine and voodoo
Unindicted conspirator number One

Very impressive isn’t he



What a wonderful president

As far as polls go
I see both Biden and Harris beating Trump and DeathSantis in some, it’s years in the future

"why did a record-number of americans tell Gallup they were better off after 4 years of trump?...And of course you Hear they love Trump"

You're saying, that I claimed that poll means America loved Trump.

When I posted this..."america hated him, and for good reason."

I posted that America hated him for good reason. The way you interpret that, is that I'm saying America loves him.

Jim: America hated him, and for good reason
WDMSO: you're saying america loves Trump

I can't tell if you're truly this stupid, or just unbelievably dishonest. It's one or the other, there certainly isn't a third option.

you are so slow it’s unbelievable.

for the 1000th time. America, for the most part, liked his policies. That’s the only conclusion to be drawn from that poll I cite.

At the same time, America, for the most part, hated him as a person. Nobody denies his deep ethical and behavioral flaws.

Do you not grasp that there’s a difference between being good at your job, and being a good person?

almost biden slow.....

remember trump was pounded by the press and pete every day for four years plus...that will eventually show up in polls...


brandon has been boosted by the press etc...every day since before he was elected and that is reflected in the polling as well...which means his actual approval rating is probably single digits...

Yup and the bottom list will be key cabinet members if Trump is elected and the dismantling of our democracy begins and Jim is like Lindsey Grahm, he says oh wait let me get Jim down correctly, how many times do I have to tell you I hate Trump and hope he never runs again and now apparently he is prepared to vote Trump due to the continued fears of a recession.

More Americans died under Biden. I assume that's all Trumps fault?

Are all global covid deaths Trumps fault? Or just the deaths in the US?

Nah, you're not obsessed with him...no idea what I was thinking when I said that.

Not just because of a recession. I'll never vote for a pro abortion candidate for any office, for any reason, ever.

Trump was BY FAR, the best friend the unborn ever had in the Oval Office. That's a fact.

Have blue states eliminated kids killed by gun violence?

Is violence up or down since Biden was sworn in? Kids dying by suicide, drug overdoses, are those up or down?

You're all fizz and zero gin.

I'm more than happy to pay taxes to help kids who need help. Not sure where you get the idea that I wouldn't be...

"you better hurry women and the youth in this country have wised up to the GOP game"

Must be why are the polls show dems way ahead for 2022 and 2024.

His presidency has been one disaster after another. Yes, I have to admit I like saying that, but it also happens to be true.

Just remember if Republicans take power, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are as good as gone. And the people telling you not to worry are the same ones who told you not to worry about Roe.

you keep posting that one race.

I’ve said 25 times i don’t think the gop re takes the senate. think they will in 2024. not in. 2022, it’s not a good rotation of seats up for the gop.

The GA senate race isn’t the only election in november. It is a meaningful race, as GA appears to be shirting to the left for sure.
