Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians flooded the streets on Thursday in a massive demonstration against Viktor Orbán’s increasingly authoritarian rule after 15 years in power.

So hoping it won’t take 15 years (if enough demonstrate they won’t take it and they won’t back down it won’t) to get free here⁉️

I saw a Craigslist ad in June 2025, by a TMellon Events group, that asked for "seat fillers" to attend the June 14th birthday and military parade. They would be paid $75 plus lunch. They were looking for brown & black people to sit in bleachers. This should be investigated.

Has our demented tyrant become a bigger blackmailer than Jeffrey Epstein. Oh what a tangled web they wove. Indeed, everything leads to the EPSTEIN FILES and PUTIN.

Follow the money and the pedophiles.

Thank you. The Politifact article made it pretty clear that is was probable satire.

Well, Mary, we've been had. Ads did appear in Craig's List, but they were probably satire according to the Politifact article cited in Michael P's reply to my comment. Thanks.

Yes, Googled it and AI said it was a false ad put out as satire. I checked out legacy media and there was nothing in it about the satire, only AI, which is run by the "techies." After the takeover of most social media platforms by the techies that bent the knees to trump, for mutual greed, gives me pause.

When American beef farmers go bankrupt and don't need the federal grassing land no longer. the billionaires will go in and get that land and use the water that lets the grass grow and use it to cool their data centers they build. and we will be eating south American beef, and our grassing land will be gone forever

I have been screaming this at the top of my lungs!!! Trump is protecting the Epstein files because he uses it as a bribe scheme. He is bribing the men on the Epstein files and if it comes out, he loses power over them.

Brilliant conversation between 2 intelligent, informative and enlightening individuals. I take heed of everything you have said. I appreciate being educated and informed by sane, knowlegable individuals. I wish I could join live but time difference from Hawaii is tough. Thanks for allowing the catch up. Now enjoy your vacation!

Allison, Somehow I can't not respond but how is bewildering. I see your pain, your integrity. I want to acknowledge that, without amplifying it. I want to say I know and not diminish the importance of circumstances. You add to the power to create a better way of being in the world with your strength and humbleness. It's contagious. I'm grateful.

Read an article today.This article was promoting a

philosophy.This philosophy goes like this—Americans must get over their

‘EMPATHY’ problems.

Cruelty, violence,viciousness,sadistic practices,

torture,starvation,death,disease ,racism,sexism,abuses of all kinds and manners,promotions of ignorance,war,

lying, corruption,stealing,

cheating ,greed,lust ,sex crimes against women,financial crimes,selective crimes and injustices: are acceptable for selected people and groups to commit no matter how horrific—This list is endless.To simplify—-anything Hitler or

Satan would love.

This philosophy forced upon entire society and nation—

Get rid of EMPATHY—It must be eliminated-Get Over It —Embrace all Evil!

Somebody help this

country and the people.

We must stand for Democracy,the

Constitution, and the American people.

Female Vet also. His words took me down. Would it be great if he really has completely changed,yes. But in the chaos we are currently in, its just not worth the chance on another so called Dem that behaves like a wanna be Rep. Am I bias? Yep. Do I trust him? No, can't say I do

As Danielle Moodie said on her podcast the Dam Project a month or two back, that the problem is the Establishment Democrats are taking AIPAC & CPAC money 🤑 which drags down the fighters like AOC, Bernie, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Murphy, Robert Garcia, Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Zorhan Mamdahni, etc

I appreciate your honest comments on Platner. I was uncomfortable when trying to listen to his videos and now I have a better understanding of what my gut instincts were telling me.

I am a strong believer in following your gut! If that inter voice is creeping in. Listen. Those words are for myself also.
