'He's Looking For Dictatorship': Joe Biden Rips Viktor Orban's Mar-A-Lago Visit

President Joe Biden took aim at Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as the European autocrat met with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate Friday.

“You know who he’s meeting with today down at Mar-a-Lago? Orbán of Hungary who stated flatly he doesn’t think democracy works, he’s looking for dictatorship. That’s who he’s meeting with,” said Biden at a rally near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “I see a future where we defend democracy, not diminish it. I see a future where we defend our freedoms, not take them away.”

Biden’s remarks arrived on the same day that Orbán, a far-right leader who has described migrants as “poison” and gone after LGBTQ rights, dropped by Mar-a-Lago where the former president praised him as “fantastic.”

“There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orbán,” Trump said. “He’s a non-controversial figure because he says, ‘This is the way it’s gonna be and that’s the end of it,’ right? He’s the boss. No, he’s a great leader.” The visit comes a day after Orbán spoke at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that leads “Project 2025.”

... who, once he is incarcerated for his multitudinous crimes, must not be allowed access to any public forum from which he could spew his venomous lies, for the rest of his miserable life. Let him die in prison.
The Rosenbergs were executed for lesser crimes than this evil, treasonous sonofabitch has committed.

within 9 months of being found out. Why can't we do that with Citizen Trump?

... that certainly didn't help them with the staunchly protestant Old Guard deciding their fate.
John Foster Dulles reputedly bailed Dubya's grandpappy, Prescott Bush, out of some serious trouble during WWII. Doing business with the Nazis through a Dutch bank was frowned upon. The treasonous old bastard is also suspected of being in on the so-called Bankers' Plot of '33, when Marine General (Ret.) Smedley Butler dropped a dime on the planners after they tried to recruit him into their scheme. But all that shit got buried deep in the memory hole.
So anyone that tries to tell you there's no double standard in the application of the law is so full of shit their eyes are probably brown. The rich skate, and ordinary folks get splattered all over the landscape.

But I guess he would only go to the ones where Orban goes to or owns like a bitchy fanboy.

when Orban heads back home, make sure he takes Trump home with him (with a one-way ticket).
