Viktor Orban Ousted

In the immediate aftermath of his stunning defeat on Sunday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban received a visitation from the ghost of Pope Francis, who tore into him for meeting with JD Vance.

"I warned you not to let that monster near you," the late pontiff said. "What kind of idiot are you?"

At the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered no comment on the Hungarian election, but said that going forward Vance would participate in Cabinet meetings from a remote location only.

Trump: US to Blockade from Hormuz Ships That Paid Iran Toll

Pirates during the "Golden Age of Piracy" (roughly 1650"1725) practiced and promoted several ideals that later became cornerstones of American democracy

#15 | Posted by donnerboy at 2026-04-12 12:14 PM | Reply

Oh lawd the irony. Henry Every, the King of Pirates, the guy credited with kicking off the Golden Age of Piracy, was former Royal Navy, then an Atlantic chattel slave trader, known for luring other slave traders onto his ship, taking their slaves as.. well, slaves, and enslaving the traders too. He mutinied for not getting paid. When his crew made it to the Indian Ocean, whom had many people that had just fought in the Anglo-Mughal War, they pulled off the Capture of the Grand Mughal Fleet, then raped and tortured all the Muslim women to death that didn't jump overboard and commit suicide.

Was he so progressive he didn't charge a mark up for his white slaves? Details lost to history.

4 Ways the War in Iran Has Weakened the United States

The blame game already started.

In this interview, Senator Ron Johnson bleats that Biden, Obama, and gun control are the blame:

MARTHA RADDATZ: "You have been a supporter of this war. But after 21 hours of really historic negotiations, there was no deal cut. And it's basically, according to J.D. Vance, take it or leave it. What's your reaction?

RON JOHNSON: "Well, first of all, I'm not supportive of the war with Iran, but that's because Iran declared war on America 47 years ago. They have blood on their-- on their hands of American soldiers, of hundreds, probably thousands of them. But it's the ayatollahs, it's the regime that declared war on America. Not the Iranian people. So, we're not at war with the Iranian people. We're trying to end the state-sponsored terrorism. We're trying to end the threat, the menace that Iran represents, not only to America but to world security and peace."

RADDATZ: "And what's your reaction to what happened here in Islamabad with no deal? What do you think happens now?"

JOHNSON: "I'm not surprised at all. The ayatollahs, even though they have been, you know, so degraded in terms of their capabilities, nobody thought this would be easy. They've been preparing for this for 47 years. They have multiple layers. They've got 200,000 people in the IRGC, 600,000 people in the Basij police force. They are brutal. By the way, this is exactly what nationwide gun control results in. The Iranian people are completely disarmed. It's going to be very difficult for them to rise up. So, it's a very difficult situation."

RADDATZ: "Meanwhile, we have 50,000 troops in harm's way right now. We have Gulf allies in harm's way. We have gas prices spiking. Oil barrels " the price raised there. So, what would you say to those Americans who are sitting at home, seeing those 50,000 troops in harm's way, seeing gas prices spike, and listening to you saying how complicated this could be and that it could continue for a long time?"

JOHNSON: "The problem is with what President Obama and Biden did -- they coddled the regime, they funneled billions of dollars, strengthened the regime, allowed them to sponsor state terror, allowed them to continue enriching uranium."

Trump's War Partner Fumes After He Blindsides Them

__________
#4 | Posted by Zed at 2026-04-09 12:38 PM
Everyone knows that Trump is mentally impaired. Netanyahu isn't the only one exploiting that.

Apparently not "everyone" knows that, or they are just using it to further promote the "ZioNazis" / "Nuttyahoo" line, that is now joining "Blue MAGA" with "woke Right" factions.

Reality is that Trump has never in his life did anything that he didn't think would benefit Trump (hence, "transactional") and, in fact, Netanyahoo was undermined several times by Trump's narcissistic desire to take credit for any "success" in the Middle East, e.g., in June 2025 when Trump stopped a devastating Israeli attack on Iranian IRGC and likely real long-planned "regime change" in Iran.

www.latimes.com - Trump never actually had a plan - Jonah Goldberg, LAT / Dispatch, 2026-03-31

|------- ... How could the man they've defended as a genius for so long make what is in their eyes such a monumental blunder? ...

For some ... blame lands on the Jews, or Israel... This is how Joe Kent explained it. It's Tucker Carlson's explanation too: We're in this war because Israel's prime minister "demanded it." ...

Now, I think some of these arguments are ahistorical, antisemitic, deranged nonsense (i.e. Joe Kent's fevered anti-Israel paranoia). Trump has said "no" to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more than once, including during this war. But some claims have a patina of merit. If you buy the claim the war is a disaster, then the people around Trump have some culpability.
-------|

Reality is quite different. Netanyahu was reluctant to involve Trump again - MBS of Saudi Arabia, seeing Iran weakened, wanted to "crush" Iran and end the longest war in human history - 14 centuries of war between Sunni and Shi'a:

www.nytimes.com - Crown Prince sees a "historic opportunity" to remake the region, according to people briefed by U.S. officials on the conversations. - 2026-03-24

|------- Prince Mohammed, the people familiar with the discussions said, has argued that Iran poses a long-term threat to the Gulf that can only be eliminated by getting rid of the government. ... -------|

www.joemygod.com - Lindsey Graham "Giddy" About Having Coached Netanyahu On Convincing Trump To Start Bombing Iran - 2026-03-07

|------- To help make the case on Iran, Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks... He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, coaching him on how to lobby the president for action. -------|

Here's one conservative nailing what Trump is:

thedispatch.com - Trump Is Anything but Unpredictable - 2026-04-10, The Dispatch

|------- I have been advising observers not to make the mistake of overcomplicating Donald Trump...

He's a simple man whose actions are most directly and accurately described as the ordinary daily application of his vices: laziness, vindictiveness, greed, vanity, arrogance, cowardice, and, above all, stupidity. He is a rage-addled dimwit with a savantic gift for manipulating lesser fools and a vulnerability to manipulation by men who are similarly vicious but more capable: Vladimir Putin, J.D. Vance, Stephen Miller, even one or two of his idiot children. Stronger men can push him around, and weaker men succeed by flattering him. His enemies can manipulate him at least as easily as his allies.

She's done much of Africa, Asia, India, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait; gone from Patagonia to the northern tip of Alaska, and more.

One of the more beautiful wild places is the mountains and river valleys of Northern Pakistan from last year.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump's big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orban - who gets smoked.

Trump will learn from this and will simply ensure elections aren't allowed to go on in an uncontrolled manner.

Well, at least the s*&^bags around him will.

It seems that Pres Trump's "assistance" may not have helped.

How much sway does Trump have over Hungarian voters? (April 11, 2026)
www.dw.com

... US President Trump has backed Hungarian PM Orban. It's unclear whether the endorsement will help in Hungary's election -- the European hard-right has struggled with Trump's recent anti-Europe policies and threats. ...

Congressman Wants US Flags Flown Half-Staff on Good Friday

I don't think Boaz ever says he's Christian, though. He seems too proudly African to submit to someone with lighter skin.

Riding Through Mongolia

Mongolia is a place I've always wanted to go to, more so after seeing Les Stroud and his son do an episode of Survivor Man there.

US Army Veteran Charged with Leaking NDI to Journalist

"Clearance holders accept a solemn obligation to protect the classified information entrusted to them," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. "That they do so is critical to the security of our Nation. When clearance holders violate that trust, the National Security Division will act swiftly to hold them accountable."

Unless they have an R after their name and are either a bloated spray tanned piece of s*&^ or have spray tan round their mouths and on the tip of the nose, then they're just fine.

But they're still very dangerous and want to kill you, right?

Call them something else but you're still in grave danger like always, right?

You act as if they suddenly woke up and realize they'd been had, were being lied to and decided they were done with it.

When in reality, MAGA is fracturing because the con that was MAGA is being added to the mural of faux victim complexes they suffer from, each one making them even more bitter, angry and willing to use violence to get their way. Because, of course, they never see or admit that THEY are the very problem they can't solve.

What I'm hearing it seems "America first" is fracturing from MAGA, largely due to the Epstein file nonsense and the Iran war. The mouthpieces I'm hearing this from are largely GWoT vets, which is concerning, although I do admit this might be a simple case of selection bias.

Kamala Harris Mulling 2028 POTUS Bid

Will that same 2024 GOP minor lead (I'm being kind) carry over to the level being expressed on this thread?

#21 | Posted by LampLighter

Trump won by maintaining a voting block while degrading and letting the DNC degrade their voting block.

Yes, that "minor lead" could absolutely hold over if someone like Harris is nominated again and people are too disgusted to vote.
