What Viktor Orbán’s election loss means for Putin, Trump and the rise of right-wing populism The White House and Kremlin tried unsuccessfully to influence Hungary’s election. But this doesn’t mean illiberalism is going away.

"Another loser from the Hungarian election is the Trump White House. The pre-election Budapest visit by US Vice President JD Vance to shore up support for Orbán was breathtakingly hypocritical. Vance farcically demanded an end to foreign election meddling, while engaging in precisely that."

For sure - I do like the increases however - but wow would sure like a bit more a bit more often as you say! ❤️

So, US population in 2025 was 341,784,857, that makes just under 12 Million. Last #nokings rallies on March 28 were estimated to have 8 Million. First two rounds, in June and October 2025, drew an estimated 5 million and 7 million. Let go folks! We need faster increases. #uspoli

Truer words have never been spoken. The right wingers love their people angry and stupid, that's for sure. Well met sir - I like where your head is at. #cdnpoli

USA and Denmark (Greenland) - what do I win?

This is but more sociopathic NAZI Big Lie tactics. Criminal fascist lying pigs like Hitler, Putin, Trump always need a “boogeyman” - as many as needed, be they Jews, LGBTQ, Immigrants, minorities or LGBTQ; thus, to fear/hate-monger their daft indoctrinated cult of manipulated followers via DIVISION!

Among the Separatists | The Tyee I wanted to learn the true target of their angry dreams. What I heard made me tremble for the Alberta I love.

When churches host/support this kind of deranged political crap, it's time to end their tax-free status. Similarly, end taxpayer support of separate schools, private schools, and religious charter schools. They are hothouses of hate and division. #cdnpoli #abpoli

American courts just gave Carney a roadmap for reining in YouTube and Meta Because of a precedent set by several cases in US courts, it is likely that online platforms will finally be judged like any other consumer-facing product whose product design harms children. This is ...

If the Carney government was looking for a fool-proof roadmap on how to rein in large online platforms from knowingly causing harm to their users — including children — the recent judgments from California and New Mexico provide some excellent guidance, writes @supriya.bsky.social

May this wish be perpetually granted.

She is awful beyond words. This is what happens when voters get tricked into voting for cult-captured idiots cos-playing as serious politicians. They are only there to farm sounds bites and do the bidding of their society rotting ideas. Vote them out ASAP. Vote Alberta NDP. #abpoli

Are Albertans going to stand for this UCP MAGA style politics? Smitty and her band of brain-addled Christo-Nationalist white supremacy goons can go straight to hell. #abpoli

Danielle Smith is a Bad Faith Actor and Can No Longer Be Trusted Smith signs an agreement with Ottawa, then almost immediately begins to undermine it

Danielle Smith signs agreements with Ottawa, then immediately begins to undermine them. She supports separatism. She lies.

She can no longer be trusted.

Mark Carney should stop negotiating with her.

Do you agee or disagree?

Dunning Kruger poster boy, #PierrePoilievre, got fact-checked in his appearance on #JoeRogan. As usual, PP unleashed a torrent of misinformation & disinformation. #VichyPP is incapable of telling the truth and facts mean nothing to him, in his blind lust for power. #CdnDisinfo #cdnpoli

A very critical read. AI is important, and getting more so, but we need to always consider all implications before proceeding with letting capitalism run rampant and do whatever they can to make money while ignoring every human, environmental, and ethical safeguards that stand in their way. #abpoli

Ever wonder why these guys look so unhappy all the time? Methinks someone is not sharing gifts. #abpoli

Opinion | An air power expert explains why Iran is more powerful now than before the war Regime change via air power has a very, very poor track record.

Once again, absolute failure on every level by the Dumpy Orange Clown. Stupidity, arrogance, and cowardice by every level of the US government to stop what will go down as one of the dumbest things a US president has ever done. #uspoli

It was the Conservative Party who killed the Liberal National Energy Program back in 1985–The same party that today argues why we needed it so badly. 🤯
