You have a photo of a rapist as your avatar, id avoid judging anyone else.

But im sure if I could be bothered, that cooker video is probably just a mash up of edited or fake videos made for an audience.

Dude likes the smell of hair, weird, yeah pretty weird, but is a rapist ? No.

The video is called world wide paedophile president you absolute peanut

That implies sexual gratification and or wanting sex with children.

Honestly has all those conspiracy theories rotted your limited brain power ?

Edit - I see an old guy, who probably looks a lot like you, going to kiss a girl on the head.

But sure…keep pretending that Trump and Biden are equally as bad as each other.🙄



Orbán has spent the past 14 years making his country into a kleptocratic autocracy right in the middle of the European Union. Obviously, Trump does not need general guidance from Orbán; he is already endowed with authoritarian instincts. But, for all the obvious differences between Orbán’s small European nation and the US, Orbán’s rule holds concrete lessons which the American right is ready to adopt. Given the excitement with which Trump acolytes have been promoting Orbán – and their frequent pilgrimages to Budapest as the capital of “national conservatism” – Hungary offers a preview of a second Trump term.

Lesson number one: if you want to control the country, you must completely control your own party. After losing two successive national elections at the beginning of this century, it looked like Orbán’s career might be finished. Instead, he managed to govern his Fidesz party with an iron grip. It is not an accident that far-right populist leaders everywhere treat their parties as personal vehicles, with no real internal debates, let alone dissent, tolerated.

That has consequences for a political system as a whole: the leader faces no restraints from political heavyweights who are fellow partisans – and who would have credibility with followers – when acting on the national stage. By 2020, Trump had already been transforming the Republican party into a kind of personality cult; that’s one reason nobody stopped him on the road to January 6. Friday marked another step in the total subjugation of the party, as Trump installed his daughter-in-law as co-chair (creating a political family business on the side).

Of course, only Trump says the quiet part out loud and declares his desires for dictatorship; he has been raving about Orbán’s credentials as a “strong man” and a real “boss”. Trump’s acolytes are more guarded. One area where they don’t hold back, however, is education – they keep gushing about “Orbán’s model”. JD Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio, has declareduniversities “the enemy” and advised that “the closest that conservatives have ever gotten to successfully dealing with left-wing domination of universities is Viktor Orbán’s approach in Hungary”. Supposedly the lesson is not to “eliminate universities, but to give them a choice between survival or taking a much less biased approach to teaching”.

The ideal is not only to assert control over education and culture but to make the state as such into a partisan instrument. Like other far-right populists, Orbán has replaced career civil servants with loyalists – a lesson US right-wingers are picking up eagerly. Before paying homage to the autocrat-in-exile in Palm Beach, Orbán spoke to the Heritage Foundation, the thinktank that has laid out with chilling precision a Trumpist plan for hijacking what should be a neutral bureaucracy in the name of destroying “the deep state”.

Orbán has been Putin’s ally inside the EU, trying to block sanctions and withhold support for Ukraine whenever possible. On the surface, the affinity is ideological: both supposedly believe in “strong families” (never mind how Putin treats his own family, or possibly multiple families) and the assertion of “national sovereignty” in defending borders (never mind whether that involves invading other countries).

Yet the relationship is ultimately transactional. Orbán will reach out to whichever power he can – including China and Iran – to bolster his regime at home. The “national conservatism” show, including its American Putin fanboys, is patently useful because it gets critics fixated on issues like same-sex marriage instead of corruption and the destruction of democracy. Trump’s transactional approach was evident during his time in office and, if re-elected, he’ll probably double down on it in a second term
 
Sounds like Ken Buck (R - Colorado) has resigned and given short notice

Lauren Boebert was planning to run in the next election in his seat

Great. Buck at least has some integrity. Good on him. A rare thing in the GOP.
Let’s see how Johnson deals with this one.

OneGreatClub unfortunately, you appear to be right. SCOTUS have made some very questionable decisions, including basically throwing out the 14th amendments under the guise it gives states too much power. From what I understand is Colorado's insurrection decision has been over turned. Basically creating a precedent that no person will ever be prevented from running for president.

So Trump is still on the Ballot for now.

As for the SCOTUS hearing on presidential immunity. This one is incredibly dangerous. While I am confident Trump will still have to face charges, SCOTUS appears certain to try and link as many of his indictments as they can under the banner of presidential immunity so they can seriously weaken any insurrection charge and the classified documents. They can't do it all because they can't gift Biden the keys to the kingdom. But damn, the corruption is real.

So depressing.

It's an interesting 1, because if he's granted immunity it has the potential to severely limit their powers as well

Its a catch 22. They could well be weighing up the pros and cons. The part playing in the favour of SCOTUS not fully applying presidential immunity in some sort of blanket shield is a couple of things.

1. Trump could look to dismantle and reduce SCOTUS power permanently if elected which removes the protection the people have from a dictator. Which had Trump been 50-60yo they may have considered it as Trump could then have then potentially led the USA for decades.

2. Trump will be in his 80s after the next term which means within 5 years we are going to get a new post Trump era leader as age takes its toll. Do they really want to kill themselves over a leader who is not going to be around long term.
 
There has to be enough GOP members left with a spine to sign this off.

Had it been last year, sure. But its not. This year republicans seem to be all about saving themselves. Watch the hypocrisy as GOP members who previously publicly hated Trump align themselves with him in the coming weeks and month.
