Deliberate destruction of American power and prosperity by the Trump regime

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

The EU flag is flying at Hungary’s parliament again after Péter Magyar was sworn in as prime minister — the first time it’s been displayed there since Viktor Orbán had it removed in 2014.

NEW: Russia and China both provided Iran with satellite imagery during the war, which helped facilitate Iranian attacks against US forces and regional countries. There is evidence that at least Russia is helping Iran reconstitute some of its military capabilities during the ceasefire period. (1/6)

Surely, there has been no other time in the history of this country when its politics was so overflowing with idiots.

Obama II

Tut Tut!

As primary season continues, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November. Hogwash. Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzG_TrhyrY
