No kidding. Swalwell just imploded on sexual abuse allegations which actually will help one of the other Dems make it to the GE for CA Gov.
AdLiban hour ago
Meanwhile, Trump is imploding as Iran refuses to let him lie about “winning” or “ending” the war.
AdLiban hour ago
I saw that his chances of becoming gov just went up in smoke regardless if they are true or not

Well those of us who know Trump like people damn well know he is lyining
twilson117

Indeed but I read the CNN article on it and there are so many witnesses, texts, emails, etc. from the time that the assaults took place that it makes the charges very legit. I was never crazy about the guy, he always seemed a little off to me.
AdLiban hour ago
And his attempt to use bribery to keep Orban as dictator of Hungary is pathetic and likely turning more voters against Orban.
AdLiban hour ago
This is what happens when people stay in power too long they begin to think they are untouchable.

Sending Vance to Hungry to campaign for Orban that is just stupid.
twilson117
an hour ago
And they believe that citizens are dumb vermin they can convince to believe even the most obvious lies.
AdLiban hour ago
The polls showed voters moved farther away from Orban by 3% after Vance came and endorsed him!
AdLiban hour ago
Well we know people are stupid and I’m not saying as any indication I will be writing about it again, but some ideas are brewing
twilson117

When the worst dictators like Putin and Trump are endorsing your own dictator, it kind of reveals the game.
AdLiban hour ago
YAY!!!
AdLiban hour ago
Yes to those of us who are paying attention.
twilson117
an hour ago
Yes, people are stupid when it comes to educating themselves about politics and facts but as I always say, people can’t be manipulated to believe everything is good when they’re suffering, especially under a dictator.
AdLiban hour ago
I was reading a piece about the arch he wants to build and made a comment that it is an affront to those who died to protect us from Nazism
twilson117
an hour ago
The Hungarians are there, Americans are there, we all know things are terrible under our dictators and no amount of BS and false flag attempts will change the minds of the majorities.
AdLiban hour ago
Yes, the arch is totally Nazi Germany. But I read in an articlae this week that a judge has approved the process for it to move forward to a stage where lawsuits can be filed against the building of it. So the lawsuits are coming. And if it ever did get built, the duty of the next Demn president is to make a celebration about tearing it down and every other tribute Trump is creating to himself.
AdLiban hour ago
Well sometimes there is no accounting for people’s unwillingness to believe and buy in to things because the person had a TV show that ran for 14 seasons but Trump does know how to play people he has been doing it all his life

“In @nytopinion.nytimes.com President Trump, who is turning 80 this year, “is giving old people a bad name,” Gail Collins writes.”
AdLiban hour ago
I did read that one have to go back and check it out.
twilson117
an hour ago
Meant to say didn’t read her piece
twilson117
an hour ago
Yes. I like what someone wrote this week, that Trump ran in 2016 out of narcissism and thinking he’d lose but it would pump up his image but he stumbled into connecting with a vast segment of Americans who are hateful and racist which led to him winning a race he never imagined he would.
AdLiban hour ago
Yeah, I just thought it was an amusing headline. He’s not only the antichrist, Trump is making us older guys look bad!
AdLiban hour ago
And the socalled dignified Nazis and Klan and those who want an oligarchy found their stooge who was more than willing to do their bidding as long as they paid him.

As we have discussed there is always a group of people whose only goal in life is total anarchy
twilson117
42 minutes ago
That too, as a sociopath, there was nothing to hold Trump back from open racism and hatred of those who aren’t white, male, and twisted “Christians”.
AdLib42 minutes ago
Yes, the losers in life who want to blame enemies for their own bad choices in life. Trump is King of the Losers.
AdLib41 minutes ago
Religion seems to always be one of the major themes in the road to anarchy.
twilson117

You’re the Shakespearian didn’t do several plays along those lines?
twilson117
39 minutes ago
Because religion is belief-based and as long as you can convince the religious and ignorant that they should have faith in one person, they just jump in as cultists. Those not blinded by religion, including many normal religious people, aren’t like that.
AdLib38 minutes ago
Indeed, back in Shakespere’s time, all leaders were religious royalists so taking on those in power was also taking on the idea of religious righteousness and infalibility,
AdLib37 minutes ago
I am hard press to find where religion hasn’t been the major factor in major confrontation
twilson117
36 minutes ago
Good point, most mass killings in world history has been due to religion or a combo of religion and tribalism.
AdLib35 minutes ago
Currently reading a book about Elizabeth 1 and it’s a prominent theme throughout the book.
twilson117
34 minutes ago
The power of religious monarchs I would guess. She was pretty strong as Queen but as they say, no one voted for her.
AdLib33 minutes ago
That is true
twilson117

So is PPO coming out this year?
twilson117
31 minutes ago
No, PPO won’t come out this year knowing how dangerous it is for anyone to visit America from another country. Sucks but it’s the right decision.
AdLib30 minutes ago
It’s sad to say but you’re right about that makes you ask when is a dictatorship not a dictarorship?
twilson117

Has anyone heard from Murph?
twilson117
28 minutes ago
We are a hybrid dictatorship right now, there is still an aspect of democracy and couurt power over the tyrant but it is a weird kind of dictatorship-in-progress right now.
AdLib26 minutes ago
Nope, no idea why he isn’t coming to Vox much nowadays, I assume he’s busy with working on sheltering the homeless.
AdLib26 minutes ago
I do not disagree with that assessment at all.
twilson117
25 minutes ago
I can see that based on what he has written from time to time sounds like the need is great where he is at.
twilson117
24 minutes ago
And look at Hungary, they have a dictator but it is at least possible for them to depose him this Sunday in the election. But I bet he has some dirty tricks in store to sabotage a free and fair election, just like Trump. But I am confident Trump will fail.
AdLib24 minutes ago
Yes, Murph sounds quite busy managing all of that and last time he was here, he mentioned how tired he was, hard for him to stay up.
AdLib23 minutes ago
I suspect in Hungry Orban will as you said do something under handed people like him do not give up power without a fight along with doing underhanded things and pretending they had nothing to do with it. Trump on the other hand tells you what he is going to do knowing the people won’t believe him thinking he is joking then when they get wacked by his actions say they didn’t think he meant them.
twilson117
20 minutes ago
That was all a bull’s eye! You nailed it!
AdLib19 minutes ago
But if Orban does try to subvert the election, it will be obvious at this point and I think the people will rise up in the streets and not accept his crushing the election.
AdLib18 minutes ago
Hungary would definitely be kicked out of the EU if he did that too which would doom it, it’s the poorest nation in the EU by far and desperatley needs to be in it to avoid crashing and burning.
AdLib17 minutes ago
Well, I guess he can call on his buddy Putin for help but that means coming back to start up the USSR band.
twilson117
15 minutes ago
Last night, there was a huge public protest in the streets in Hungary chanting, “NO RUSSIA!”
AdLib15 minutes ago
Look there are people still alive in Hungry who remember when the Russian tanks rolled in and total chaos ensued and they were under total Russia/USSR occupation for years.
twilson117
12 minutes ago
Yes! You are the history guy, you understand that people in Hungary know history too and how they were under the iron grip of dictatorship from the USSR. They know this and it is really amazing that such a huge percentage of Hungarians are aggressive about ending Orban and Russia’s current dictatorship.
AdLib10 minutes ago
I don’t know this but I think they would love to be part of NATO and Putin can’t have that it’s worse then having someone in your back yard them joining NATO is having the tiger and lion in your living room looking Hungry
twilson117

Exactly! The poor EU has had that situation for a long time now with Hungary and Orban sabotaging all of them time after time, to Putin’s benefit. This could really change that and help Ukraine enormously too if Orban is gone.

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

Looking at this picture the young people I’m looking at what a better world for themselves than what wannabe kings like Orban is willing to give them
twilson117

Oh, they’re chanting, “Russians go home!”
AdLib2 minutes ago
Let’s hope they get their wish. Ok I need to bug out besides being dead tired there are a few things want to see if can done before I hit the sack talk with you later.
