Orban is Out

Yes Donald, we get the point:
He's a friend of yours

Viktor Orban the strong arm ruler of Hungary has been voted out of office. It's a credit to the strength of Hungary's democratic system that this  was possible. Strong arm rulers like Orban have a habit of dismantling democracy to lock in their power; in fact according to Wiki.....

Since Orbán resumed office in 2010, Hungary has experienced democratic backsliding and weakened judicial independence, while witnessing an increase in corruption and the establishment of governmental agencies with stricter oversight of the press and media

That Orban was a favourite of Trump's administration and also Putin's lying, tyrannical criminal regime tells us all we really need to know about Orban's authoritarian leanings. Trump's lieutenant JD Vance recently visited Hungary and canvassed for Orban. Vance had the gall to suggest that the current US Administration shared Orban's values of "freedom" - read that as "freedom" from the messy argumentative business of democratic government; a form of government which acknowledges epistemically and morally challenged human nature and therefore builds into a formal constitution both accountability and an agreement to disagree.


With "friends" like these the West hardly needs enemies. 

It is a breath taking irony that all the above pictured characters are trying sell themselves using a "Christian"  gloss.

"The former congresswoman from Georgia, formerly a staunch Trump ally, revealed the details in a recent interview in Piers Morgan Uncensored, describing the president's response as showing 'no compassion' when she raised the issue of death threats to her family."

Franklin Graham, Michael Brown, Ken Ham, Paula White et al, please take note of the kind of man you have help put in the White House.
