Trump Welcomes Hungarian Strongman to White House

Trump Welcomes Hungarian Strongman to White House: Even though Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is basically considered a pariah by most of Europe because of his dismantling of Hungary’s democratic institutions, shutting down opposition media, eliminating independent courts, cruel treatment of asylum seekers and frequent anti-Semitic provocations, President Trump is all set to welcome him to the White House this week.

Oh well - another day, another dictator invited to the White House to be praised by President Trump for being such a "strong leader.” No big deal. After all, the world seems to be full of them these days and, as President Trump will likely remind us, “we have some very fine dictators on both sides.”

I mean, Trump’s best pals are not just your average demagogic strongmen, they read like a “Who’s Who” of world dictators - Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Rodrigo Duterte and now - Viktor Orban - and that’s just a partial list. I have to say, that’s quite an interesting bunch of folks.

Makes you wonder, how long before Benito Mussolini’s lovely granddaughter Alessandra gets that invite to dine with the President and Melania? All I can say is, who knows what the world would look like today - had Donald Trump been our President back in the 1930’s.

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War: In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.” You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!” In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence. They don’t teach you that in law school. Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo: Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks. Well said Mr President! The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis

Scientists Monitoring Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis: Scientists meeting this week at the 2019 Planetary Defense Conference, say they’re monitoring the 99942 Apophis asteroid which will be coming within 20,000 miles (33,000 kilometers) of the Earth’s surface in just 10 years. The thing is, by the year 2029, Trump will likely be settling into his 4th term - so if an asteroid suddenly threatens to destroy the Earth, my guess is that after 16 years of Trump, no one will really much care. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com Oldest Human Footprint Found in the Americas Confirmed in Chile: Researchers say a 15,600-year old footprint discovered by a student in southern Chile is believed to be the oldest human footprint ever found in the Americas. Oddly enough, scientists say the footprint appears to be that of someone wearing size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, but because it’s from well over 15K years ago - they’re rather doubtful it has any connection to t...
