It turns out that calling Trump supporters “deplorable” was being measured and kind.

My Dad’s family was Hungarian and Budapest is my favorite European city - but I wouldn’t go there now. To see and hear Trump and Orban talking their tough-shit, offensive nonsense makes me sad.

How AP would have thrived under Stalin. We are simply reporters reporting on things that occur. We will not note how similar incidents in history have turned out badly (for some) and well (for others).

It’s to be expected that Orban would be critical of Soros who suffered through the Nazi occupation but managed to escape and become philanthropist.

Has he ever met a dictator he didn’t like?

Trump gives white nationalist anti Semitic authoritarian trash like Orban tongue baths, and treats democratic leaders like garbage. This is how low our country has gone.

What I can’t abide is the hit job put on him by conservative media here, because he has the temerity to give to Dem causes like the Kochs and Mercers do for right-wingers I’ve tried many times to explain that he did more to bring democratic values–market economics, political pluralism, tolerance–to post-Communist eastern Europe than anyone. He founded Central European University with his own money. But all the right-wingers here do is run him down because they don’t like the causes he supports. I’ve been forced to conclude they don’t really care for democratic values themselves.

You recall Barr in her final days was going head to head with Chelsea Clinton calling her Chelsea Soros Clinton before she was fired. Soros has become this left wing boogeyman and being Jewish just adds fuel to the RW fire. There’s no explaining this in the reality-based world which we inhabit.

I read that and thought it was the funniest thing I read all week while being 100% on target in trashing the PuPPet.
