rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18775 | Right of Left? Depends on who you ask. Duffman says in Coronavirus thread "...What I am getting is an education in how fear will make people do all kinds of things they said they will not do. And how pols use fear to take power. My fear remains not of the virus, but the reaction of people to the virus." So from this article...

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5116 | I'll buy the idea that developments in Hungary are not encouraging, however, it's pretty clear that there's no world movement it is aligning with, so it's hard to get too excited. Probably a bad time to live in Hungary. I'd have to see that episode to make a judgement, this just seems like pouncing on an opportunity to bash Fox that only goes for the right? [as can be said of much of the other here] I doubt that this is what's going on, though surely they fail to cover things the way the Left would like. Furthermore, I keep up fairly well with reporting from the right, and the topic of Orban is so rare that this is all new to me I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5116 | I watched Tucker's episode. His hardball type question in the interview was to ask Orban to defend himself against the "totalitarian thug" accusation, without good follow-up questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s01ZL5TnBNY Oann.com, generally not balanced enough for me to follow, too right-leaning, seems a good choice for checking out fawning by such. so googled "orban site:oann.com" . Only a few articles focusing on how the LGBTQs don't like his policies, he's trying to get their stuff out of schools, evidently. Also googled just "orban lgbtq" and finding nothing about discrimination against them, but laws against promulgating their stuff to children.

Even forgetting statements about Putin and Kim which would normally be unforgivable from the right. Even forgetting all of his other crazy statements which might have more fantasy than substance, Trump is the all time American GOAT in attacking the American election process without being able to sumstantiate credible evidence even to Republican appointees. Calling the Georgia election personally to ask them to find votes was beyond the pale. While I don't think he's the GOAT in this other area, (though he may be tied or close to the top) in untoward interfering with the justice department, that is the other unforgiveable sin. Presidents obviously have some legal and ethical influence in both areas, but Trump was close to Satan's will in both. IMO, this makes him very dangerous, much beyond just complaining about the usual polices I don't like which is just difference of viewpoint. Justice and elections --2 serious infractions from Trump.

The hate and the 'trumped' up charges started long before the second term elections. It was an organized attack of vilification by the left and the MSM from the day he announced he candidacy, unprecedented in US history. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."

Trump was unprecedented in many ways. What would you expect? Watch what happens if the left gets a similar candidate into such a position. The response from the right will also be extreme. You heard it here first. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Lol Some on the right are absolutely livid and angry about Trump coverage ????????? Do Trumpers watch a ton of CNN and MSNBC Why else are they so livid? I have no doubt OANN has declared Trump the greatest President ever. Yawn. I could care less. I cant complain like Kenarman because I watch zero Fox or OANN Isn't OANN declaring Trump the greatest ever That ain't good enough for you Ken?
