Lithuania suggests Orbán and Hungary leave the EU
Arnoldas Pranckevičius, Lithuania's permanent representative to the EU, addressed the authorities of the only EU member state that did not support the allocation of 50 billion euros to Ukraine.
“I would very much like to wish this EU member state to never experience the war that the people of Ukraine are going through now, that its cities are not bombed, its citizens are not killed, that the aggressor country does not occupy its territories. I wish that this state would not have to ask others for solidarity and face vetoes from allies for vital assistance in moments of the most urgent need,” he said.
Pranckevičius added that the EU is strong because of solidarity and mutual trust: “If you are not ready for either, there is only one right solution - to leave,” he concluded.

Paul Krugman writes about the dystopia the U.S. could become under one-party Republican rule. He thinks a GOP autocracy would be far worse than Orban’s Hungary.
Indeed, these days it’s almost conventional wisdom that the G.O.P. will, if it can, turn America into something like Viktor Orban’s Hungary: a democracy on paper, but an ethnonationalist, authoritarian one-party state in practice. [...] But what strikes me, reading about Orban’s rule, is that while his regime is deeply repressive....it is... “soft fascism,” which makes dissidents powerless via its control of the economy and the news media without beating them up or putting them in jail.
Do you think a MAGA regime, with or without Donald Trump, would be equally subtle? Listen to the speeches at any Trump rally. They’re full of vindictiveness, of promises to imprison and punish anyone — including technocrats like Anthony Fauci — the movement dislikes.

How the remnants of the Confederacy morphed over time to (ironically) take over the Party of Lincoln
Krugman’s article is well worth reading. But I reblogged it to give a context for one of the reader’s comments, which provides a succinct history lesson about how the spirit of the Confederacy (kept alive in part through the Southern Baptists) has finally found a home in today’s GOP.
Interesting how the term 'Culture War' has been missed here, when it is actually central to the problem.
The Right, (the Neo-Confederacy within the Republican party) is fighting the Culture War, and has been since the end of the Civil War, in 1865.
This dovetailed with the formation of the Southern Baptists in a schism with the Baptist Convention in 1845, 20 years earlier, over the Southern demand that slavery should be protected from the abolitionists in the North, and the parallel demand that they should help spread slavery to the new states of the American West.
When they lost the war, the Confederacy concealed it's political beliefs within the Evangelical Fundamentalists Alternative Facts of Creationism vs Evolution, the Lost Cause versus the Yankee victory.
It was easy for Trump to gather the faithful Neo-Confederates with the Obama Birther Myth, and easier still to believe in QAnon and the stolen election.
Evangelicals are not Christians.
They are a political party representing the Confederacy, pretending to be a religion. The religion they want is a Confederate Theocracy, even if it destroys the United States, as they failed to do in the Civil War. They may have succeeded this time.

Hungary summoned the US ambassador over comments by the US president, Joe Biden, who said the prime minister, Viktor Orbán, wants a dictatorship.
The Hungarian leader traveled to Florida on Friday for talks with Donald Trump during a visit in which he did not meet with anyone from the Biden administration.
During a campaign event in Philadelphia, Biden referred to his rival’s meeting with the Hungarian politician: “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.”
Rights groups and European capitals have repeatedly raised concerns that Orbán and his Fidesz party have undermined checks and balances in Hungary. In 2014, Orbán memorably announced that he was building an “illiberal” state.
And Hungary’s western allies have also grown increasingly worried about Hungary’s ties with Moscow and Beijing, while relations with Washington have reached a low point.
But Biden’s comments have met with outrage from Hungarian officials.
Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, dismissed the American president’s words as “lies”.
In a press conference on Tuesday, he said the American ambassador in Budapest, David Pressman, had been summoned and met with a senior Hungarian official earlier in the day.
“We asked the ambassador to show us the quote, with location and time,” Szijjártó said, denying that Orbán ever said what Biden described. “This is a very serious insult.”
Szijjártó continued: “We are not required to take such lies from anyone, even if that person is the president of the United States.”

National broadcast and cable networks are barely covering Trump’s recent gaffes and incoherent statements
Trump: “Viktor Orban... he's the leader of Turkey.”
Fact: Viktor Orban is Hungary's authoritarian leader.
Yet Trump’s gaffe received less than three minutes of total coverage across all three major cable news networks.
National broadcast and cable networks are failing to cover a series of verbal gaffes and incoherent statements recently made by disgraced former President Donald Trump, the front-runner to win the Republican nomination again in 2024.
As Media Matters has already extensively documented, media outlets have repeatedly obsessed over President Joe Biden's age since he announced his campaign for reelection. The same attention has not been given to his likely challenger, former President Donald Trump, even though the two men are nearly the same age. In fact, in just the last two months, Trump has made a number of nonsensical statements: He has mixed up the authoritarian leaders of Hungary and Turkey; confused his former Republican opponent Jeb Bush and Jeb’s brother, the former president George W. Bush; mixed up a number of his Democratic opponents with former President Barack Obama; and made a garbled statement accusing President Joe Biden of leading the country into “World War II.”
On Monday, a New York Times article finally brought some much-needed attention to the dichotomy between Trump’s own attacks on Biden, compared to Trump’s actual behavior:
But as the 2024 race for the White House heats up, Mr. Trump’s increased verbal blunders threaten to undermine one of Republicans’ most potent avenues of attack, and the entire point of his onstage pantomime: the argument that Mr. Biden is too old to be president. Mr. Biden, a grandfather of seven, is 80. Mr. Trump, who has 10 grandchildren, is 77.
An analysis by Media Matters found that TV broadcast news has given no coverage to these false and incoherent statements from Trump, and cable news has barely covered them. Overall, MSNBC has covered the four recent Trump gaffes the most, still just 35 minutes, and the majority of this coverage has come from just one program, Morning Joe. CNN has covered the gaffes a mere 9 minutes. Fox News, meanwhile, mentioned the gaffes just twice for less than a minute total in the periods studied.

Mixing up Hungarian, Turkish strongmen
Trump commented on October 23 during a campaign speech in New Hampshire: “You know, I was very honored — there’s a man, Viktor Orbán. Did anyone ever hear of him? He’s probably, like, one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. He’s the leader of Turkey.”
Orbán is the authoritarian prime minister of Hungary; autocrat Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is president of Turkey. This remark also could have brought renewed attention to Trump’s long-established affection for dictators.
Media Matters reviewed transcripts from October 23 thorough 29 and found that the comment received less than 2 minutes of TV news coverage, mostly spread across MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show and Deadline: White House, plus a single comment on Fox News’ The Five lasting 6 seconds. Broadcast news didn’t cover it at all.
Warning that Biden might start “World War II”
During a September 15 speech at a right-wing event in Washington, D.C., Trump claimed that Biden was “cognitively impaired” and “in no condition to lead,” while warning that his leadership could imperil the United States in “dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war.” Trump then added: “Just think of it. We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.”
World War II happened 80 years ago, a detail Trump missed while he was calling Biden “cognitively impaired.” During the same speech, Trump also seemed confused about whom he is running against in 2024, and whom he ran against in 2016.

A Putyin-Orbán találkozóról - nagyon nem egyenlő viszony
A Kreml közzétett egy rövid videót Vlagyimir Putyin és Orbán Viktor mostani megbeszéléséről. A felvétel finoman szólva sem előnyös a magyar miniszterelnök számára. Valamilyen, számomra ismeretlen okból Orbán folyamatosan, idegesen izeg-mozog, láthatóan képtelen egy helyben maradni. Összességében eléggé aggasztó, ahogyan viselkedik.
Semmi sem kényszerítette az orosz vezetést, hogy pont ezt a felvételt közöljék. Mégis ezt választották, látványosan megalázva ezzel a magyar miniszterelnököt.
Adja magát a kérdés, hogy vajon miért. Szerintem elsősorban azért, mert mutatni akarták mind a hazai közönség, mind a külvilág számára, hogy ebben a viszonyban bizony Moszkva a domináns fél, míg a magyar miniszterelnök egyértelműen alárendelt szerepben van.
(Mindenkinek lehet rosszabb napja, a politikusoknak is - de egymást becsülő partnerek nem hozzák nyilvánosságra az ilyesmit a másikról.)
A máskor kifejezetten harcos, hangoskodó, a konfliktusokat örömmel (esetenként szükségtelenül is) felvállaló magyar diplomácia ezúttal hallgat.
Ez túl sok jót nem vetít előre....
