WHY IS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTING A "NO LONGER FULLY DEMOCRATIC" STATE?

 

Rubio plugs Orbán’s bid for another term in Hungary’s elections

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday enthusiastically endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán ‘s bid to serve a fifth straight term after the April elections, emphasizing during a visit to Budapest the strong personal relationship between the nationalist leader and U.S. President Donald Trump. 

Trump and Rubio are supporting this: 

"Hungary is widely considered by international bodies, including the European Parliament and Freedom House, to have transitioned from a democracy to a hybrid regime or "electoral autocracy" due to significant democratic erosion under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party since 2010, with concerns over media control, weakened judiciary, suppression of opposition, and attacks on civil liberties. 

While it still holds elections, democratic norms have been undermined, leading to its "Partly Free" rating and classification as no longer a full democracy.

Why is Trump supporting a "no longer a full democracy" state?

Rubio was not always an Orban fan:

In the May 2019 letter to then-President Trump, Marco Rubio and his colleagues (Sens. Jim Risch, Bob Menendez, and Jeanne Shaheen) detailed several specific areas where they believed democracy in Hungary had 'significantly eroded.' 

The senators argued that the election process under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had become less competitive. They observed increasing state control over the judiciary.

The letter pointed to a decrease in press freedom, mentioning discouragement of advertising for independent media and consolidation of media ownership under a foundation exempt from antitrust regulations. 

The senators were troubled by Hungary's close ties with Russia, including its reliance on Russian energy and Russia's alleged use of Hungary's 'golden visa' program to bypass U.S. sanctions. 

They criticized Hungary's refusal of a U.S. extradition request for two Russian arms dealers, who were instead sent to Moscow by the Orbán government. 

The relocation of the Russian-controlled International Investment Bank to Budapest was seen as an assertion of Russian influence within a NATO member country." --AI mode

ARE MAGA REALLY THIS UNINFORMED?

 

Why yes, yes they are. 

The Captain of the Mother Ship admits she is a devoted FAUX NOOZ fan. That's why she wrote this inaccurate and grossly uninformed comment:

” All I write here nearly every day is how the Left’s speech writers shoot down everything the Trump Admin does, but thanks for the reminder. Of COURSE they shoot down everything Trump does..(as do most judges and grand juries, the latest Grand Jury rejected the lawmaker indictments for telling our servicemen to ignore their superiors, did you hear that yet?)..if we had Republicans as sharp and articulate as the Dems, we could fight that.

In November 2025, Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers released a video advising U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders, not all orders. This action prompted a Pentagon investigation, accusations of "sedition" from Donald Trump, and a subsequent lawsuit by Kelly against a January 2026 censure by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Key details: 

The Content: The video featured Mark Kelly, alongside Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, advising troops to uphold their oath to the Constitution and ignore directives they believe are unlawful.

The Context: The message was released amid concerns regarding the legality of potential military actions within the U.S. and in South America.

The Backlash: President Trump and then-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the group of "seditious behavior," with the Pentagon opening a review into the lawmakers' conduct.

Legal Action: A federal judge in February 2026 temporarily blocked the Pentagon from punishing Senator Kelly, citing potential violations of his First Amendment rights. 

 The lawmakers emphasized that they were reminding military personnel of their legal obligations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to disobey unlawful, not all, orders.

"On February 10, 2026, a federal grand jury declined to indict the lawmakers on charges of seditious conspiracy or interfering with military discipline. 

Court Injunction: On February 12, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Pentagon from punishing Kelly. 

The judge ruled that the speech was 'unquestionably protected' by the First Amendment and that the government had unconstitutionally retaliated against him."

Current Status: As of February 17, 2026, the Department of Justice has been urged by Kelly's attorneys not to seek a second indictment. Kelly remains a retired Navy captain while the legal battle over his rank and pension continues.

There is no shame in being ignorant on some issues, only in willfully staying that way. The Captain apparently chooses to stay that way.

TRUMP'S SECOND TERM WILL BE DEFINED BY THE EPSTEIN SCANDAL

 

The only pedophile who's in prison is a woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Trump DoJ hasn't arrested, indicted, nor put anyone else in prison for their heinous crimes against children by this country's and the world's elites, billionaires, and oligarchs.

Trump's second term will be defined by this horrendous scandal.  He knew. And according to the emails that have been published, he was, in some way, involved.

Epstein ordered a “Snow White” costume for the little girls on his island so they could “entertain” elite guests older than their grandfathers, dressed up as little Snow Whites.

And Jes Staley, who later became CEO of Barclays Bank and who previously spent more than three decades at JPMorgan Chase, where he served as head of its Investment Bank and later CEO of its Asset Management division, thanked Epstein for the “Snow White fun.”

But don’t worry. During his long tenure at JPMorgan Chase, Jes Staley would help oversee the bank’s relationship with Epstein, ensuring that his financial affairs continued to be handled.

***************************

Leon Black, billionaire investor, and known Jeffrey Epstein associate and likely co-conspirator is in the files for having raped multiple young girls, and was even sued for having raped a 16 year old girl with down syndrome. What did Donald Trump do about it? He awarded him by giving his son a position in his administration. We're done f**king around, these people are all Satan worshipping pedos, and they need to be put in prison.

I don’t remember where I found this quote.

Do you agree or disagree?  

Please tell me why, either way  

“The fundamental problem of America is not Trump, but America. 

Trump is a creation of America, and this type of delirium, this sort of figure can only emerge and rise to ultimate prominence in a certain kind of society - a society in collapse. 

What we're witnessing now is an accelerated decline of the American empire, massively expedited by Trump's galloping insanity.”

JUST A REMINDER:

 

This is the sick creep MAGA chose to have as alternate entertainment for last week's Super Bowl, because they couldn't deal with a Puerto Rican American singing in Spanish.

They chose this piece of living dirt. 

This is just ONE example of why powerful rich men felt no shame in being pals with and enjoying whatever they could get from Jeffrey Epstein. This kind of "humor" is considered "funny" in a sick male's world, and condoned not by just an American, but by a worldwide cabal of men who felt they would be legally untouchable while sexually assaulting/raping little girls.

Disturbing video of Kid Rock has resurfaced, as he wonders why American men were waiting for the then-14 year old Olsen twins to turn 18. "if there's grass on the field, play ball!"
