"Here comes the dictator." Not the usual greeting you would expect to hear at an EU get-together.
But "dictator" was the word chosen by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as he welcomed Hungary's Viktor Orban at a summit in Riga, Latvia.
“There are people on the House Intelligence Committee who believe that Tulsi Gabbard is or acts like an asset of the Russians. That she’s a double agent or a mole.

"Trump Admin ALREADY IMPLODING as He DOUBLES DOWN"
"Former federal prosecutor and counsel to the Attorney General Shan Wu discusses how Trump regime nominees like Pete Hegseth, Tulsa Gabbard, Matt Gaetz depend on the concept of anticipatory obedience - a strategy favored by autocrats."

Abstract
Buried within the general phenomenon of democratic decline is a set of cases in which charismatic new leaders are elected by democratic publics and then use their electoral mandates to dismantle by law the constitutional systems they inherited. These leaders aim to consolidate power and to remain in office indefinitely, eventually eliminating the ability of democratic publics to exercise their basic democratic rights, to hold leaders accountable, and to change their leaders peacefully. Because these “legalistic autocrats” deploy the law to achieve their aims, impending autocracy may not be evident at the start. But we can learn to spot the legalistic autocrats before autocratic constitutionalism becomes fatal because they are often following a script using tactics that they borrow from each other. This Essay explains the paths that these autocratic legalists take, the danger signals that accompany their legal reforms, and the methods they use to dismantle liberal constitutions. The Essay also suggests how the legalistic autocrats may be stopped.
“I've also spent a good amount of time in Russia over the past 35 years, and I've worked regularly in Hungary over the past 20 years. My mother's family are Czech/Lithuanian and I've lived in, and photographed events in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans since 1988. I've met Orban a few times before and during his current regime. Hungary only marginally exists as a democracy...it is the most gerrymandered state in Europe and Orban and his cronies have taken control the Television and print media turning it into an Kremlin-like propaganda machine...He has dismantled certain aspects of the constitution and essentially taken control of the judiciary system. From my own personal experience I don't feel it is hyperbole in saying that America is on the brink of Authoritarian rule or at the very least an Orban-like "illiberable democracy" that could take decades to overcome if ever...make no mistake Trump and his acolytes/elites have no interest in Democracy. We are living in a post-truth world and Populists, Demagogues, Authoritarians...always prey on grievance, hatred, bigotry, blame, fear and endemic lack of self-accountability to gain power with the pretence of championing the aggrieved. It's never about ideology...it's always about power and wealth. Trump doesn't have a political bone in his body...he is grifter...and he knows his marks well...and that frankly is very difficult thing to combat...low information and disinformation is a very difficult thing to combat...lazy thinking or lack of critical thinking in any demographic is a very difficult thing to combat. Putin is more an ideologue than either Trump or Orban...he also is a master of conflating his interests, his personal regime survival and wealth with mythical existential threats to Russia and Russians. Orban's Hungary is closer example (Than Russia) of where America is headed under Trump...and make no mistake...it's a very close example.”

"Hungary Shows Us How a Second Trump Term Might Play Out"
Donald Trump has referred to Hungary’s autocratic prime minister, Viktor Orban, as “a great man, a great leader.” In this episode, the columnist M. Gessen, who is in exile from Vladimir Putin’s Russia, draws parallels between Trump, Orban and Putin. Gessen explores what life might look like in Trump’s next term and describes their fear that, this time, “people are going to retreat into their private lives and try to shut out the political world.”

MICHAEL POPOK REACTS TO LATEST BREAKING LEGAL NEWS -US Adversaries LAUGH AT Trump
It's really very sad that the Republican Party tolerates pedophiles.
House GOP ANNOUNCES Decision on GAETZ REPORT:
A former captain of the guards at Graterford prison told me that our friend Paul Woodburn was an expert on pedophilia. We lived down the street from JoAnne & Paul. Their daughter was born in January our daughter was born in March. A wonderful family.
"Until his retirement in 2010, Mr. Woodburn was employed by the Lenape Valley Foundation as director of Correctional Mental Health Services for Bucks County Correctional Facility, providing therapy to a variety of clients for more than 25 years.
Earlier he had been a social welfare policy analyst at Horizon House Inc. and a therapist at the Joseph J. Peters Institute, one of the first centers in the country to treat sexual abuse victims and offenders...
A Mt. Airy resident for 42 years, he was active in the community. He helped to gain approval for and build a community garden at the Carpenter Lane SEPTA railroad station and was an early member of the West Mt. Airy neighborhood Town Watch.
“People bond together to protect their own. It’s how we survived and prospered on earth.
Sometimes stuff happens in families that they want to keep quiet. Wealthy people are no different than anyone else. But wealthy people can be isolated in a different world.
Wealth and power can help to hide strange stuff but when you enter politics in the U.S. it’s fair game to look through windows to see what’s happening.
Cuyler Walker is part of that world.
Most wealthy people are as ordinary as anyone you know and I believe that ordinary people are inclined to be kind and naturally want to help others.
And here in Chester County the old wealth comes from Quaker families.
Quakers believe it is their Christian duty to help others, that we are all brothers and sisters. Their ancestors helped run the Underground Railroad during the slavery days. Their ancestors were Abolitionists.
All of us owe a debt to those Chester County Quakers and the Republican Party for ending slavery in the United States.
You might not think so but black people in Coatesville know some history of the wealthy people in Chester County.
There were blacksmiths who took care of the fox hunting horses.
They were nursemaids of their children. Many of those children are grown up with their own children.
If you want to know about Cuyler Walker go to a black hairdresser in Chester County on a Thursday. Thursday is “maids day off”.
Cuyler is the nephew of Nancy Hannum and Judge John Hannum. Walker is the same Walker in George Walker Bush’s name.
He resigned as the GOP candidate for the 158th State Legislative District kind of at the last minute.
His name has been removed from the website of the Pepper Hamilton law firm, where he was a partner.
The Upland School allegedly removed him from the board of directors of Upland.
There was talk that a Finnish exchange student was not allowed to stay at Walker’s house.
Walker’s wife allegedly moved out.
Some older black people here say the something bad happened to Cuyler when he was a boy. They say it involved some men who worked in the stables.
They say his mother moved him and his brother to a live in boarding school.
That Cuyler’s brother committed suicide.
Moving up to present day. Some of those old black people don't understand why Cuyler’s wife put Cuyler’s children into a boarding school. They say Cuyler’s wife said that her husband hated spending so much of his life away at the boarding school and she wouldn't do that to Cuyler’s children.
They had that nice Rolling Plains house all fixed up with the latest stuff. It's easy to clean. There's a place to put everything away. His wife allegedly took her children and moved out of that nice house.
I don't know what will happen. But I'm sure that nothing official will happen before Election Day November 4th.
Most Chester County judges are friends with or family members of Cuyler Walker.
Most Federal Judges in the United States District Court Eastern District of Pennsylvania are friends of or relatives of Cuyler Walker.
I had some personal experience with a child molester. It’s part of the reason that I moved away from our home in Montgomery County. He is a big guy. Ex-Marine and wrestler. With a history of arrests for assaults.
I was on to him.
He got away with things that would put most people in jail. Some influential people in the local government "protected" him.
He’s been in prison. Back out of prison and working as a custodian at local parks.
Nice job for a pedophile, don’t you think?
He’s back in prison now. He should stay there.
Another quote from True Detective:
“There is no such thing as forgiveness. People just have short memories.” – Rust Cohle
I don’t know. Maybe it’s still in there and a sound or a smell can awaken that memory.
You can watch Cuyler Walker talk about “family values”, “Christian values”, and “compassion for the protection of life”.
