Grisham on Trump’s meeting with Orbán: ‘He wants to be a dictator’

Thanks DNC

Should have just ran Bernie instead of forcing Hillary and propping up Trump

Now the world has Dr. Frankenstein’s political monster (with dementia)

It was only a matter of time until the empire with a military industrial complex went from evil to stupidly evil.
So you think they should have ignored the will of the Democrat voters to prop up another candidate who probably would have lost even worse?
- Well, somebody sure wasn’t paying attention to reality… but that’s none of my business 🐸 🍵 🫖
- Agreed. Forget the primary, which I do believe was tilted for Clinton, Sanders would have been smashed flat in the general election.

I think there's probably a lot of elected representatives who want to be closer to the dictator end of the spectrum.
The difference with Trump is that half the country seems hell bent on allowing him to be a dictator.

What?
- Did they just both sides their bothsiderism?
Yeah, but also, besides being a genocidal monster, Biden is old, the "liberal media" tells me.
/s
- Don't forget there are twice as many migrants in cages at the border than when trump left office.
I am one of those people and I'd like to explain the ideology because I think most people write or listen to little tid bits on the internet and never really understand where we are coming from.
To you these sides seem vastly different in the same way that any two people are so, so different and unique. However those same two people are biologically 99% similar. A difference in perspective causes this misunderstanding.
In my country it is compulsory to vote and I gladly take the fine every few years because I reject the Westminster system, that is to say I reject bicameral representative government. So when I say they are the same it is because from my perspective they are the same, the world will continue on 99% the same 99% of the time whoever wins regardless of how people freak out about it.
South Park has a startlingly appropriate episode to describe this situation; what to do when faced with the choice between a douche and a turd? The only moral answer is do not vote and protest the system, hope enough others can participate with you and hope your ideology can gain enough traction to prevent any government from attaining a legitimate mandate to govern.
Most who disagree only want you to vote for their guy.

And yet, more than 40% of Hungarian voters want to vote for Orbán again. Under his corrupt electoral system, that will be again a 2/3 supermajority. From a Hungarian: The prevailing belief here is "Orbán lies and sucks, but never again for Gyurcsány" or "Everyone sucks, Fidesz is the least bad" or even "There's no better alternative". This fuck should be voted out in 2026, but we know he won't.

From the state's founding, Hungary is a Western country, which never wants to be part of the East on purpose. […] Eastern politics can't tolerate autonomy, can't tolerate independence, and can't tolerate freedom. It eliminates the defences defending a human's independence. […] It makes one vulnerable; if need be, it intimidates. […] Since the East stepped foot in Hungary, freedom-loving Hungarians like us always wanted the same: to liberate ourselves from their withering hugs, and to remove their domestic guards. […] Our wish always was this: we wanted a Western democracy which builds on Christian culture, and on the ideals of freedom, equality, and fraternity. We always fought against the faux-democracy […]

illiberal democracy my ass.

Read all about it in this month’s riveting issue of Duh.

I miss Norm.
- There’s SO many, but this was probably my favorite Weekend Update joke:
  In a brilliant move during closing arguments, Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran put on the knit cap prosecutors say O.J. wore the night he committed the murders. Although O.J. may have hurt his case when he suddenly blurted out 'Hey, hey, easy with that, that's my lucky stabbing hat!'
  (You knew it had to be an OJ joke.)

Trump has the first half of "dictator" covered ....

Penis potato?

Yeah, no kidding.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said that President Trump’s recent meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán shows that he “wants to be a dictator.”

President Biden went after Trump for his meeting with the Eastern European leader at a campaign event in Pennsylvania.

“You know who he’s meeting with today down at Mar-a-Lago?” Biden said at a campaign event in Pennsylvania.

“Orbán of Hungary, who stated flatly he doesn’t think democracy works, he’s looking for dictatorship.”

Grisham also said that she has “sat in many bilateral meetings with world leaders” and that Trump “always looked forward to speaking” with figures like Chinese President Xi JInping and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, leaders who have been criticized for their authoritarian leanings like Orbán.

Orbán went to Trump’s home in Florida and also posted a picture of them together on Facebook.

The original article contains 285 words, the summary contains 142 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Oh wow, someone has an opinion that says trump is bad so it warrants a whole article...

Yeah God forbid they write too many articles about this guy who tried to overturn an election, and claiming he wants to be a dictator on day 1, cozying up to dictators.
- But do you understand how they dont mean anything and are just used to get clicks and lead you in a paticular direction?
