The Iceberg Theory, visualized:

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Existential dread, super high pollen count, a bad cold, weird weather swings, some personal stress—I really do not know what percentage of my general malaise belongs to what!

I feel crazy. Just sitting around waiting to find out if our lunatic President is going to begin a world war for no reason. What does one do in these situations? What do I have for lunch? Do I take a Zyrtec if my eyes are watering? Moment to moment, what do I do?

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

He is insane.

And this is an open declaration of intended genocide.

If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I hate how stupid everything is.

“No to war and Free Palestine”

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

Big challenge for political pundits:

Discuss the speech the president actually gives tonight, and not the one you maybe thought you might have seen if you squinted just right.

Compare that real speech to the real world around us.

This guy gets it.

Masterful Troll, TCM.

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

MSNBC: Would you be willing to say yes to ICE needing to have judicial warrants before they can enter a home?

GOP REP. DON BACON: I do support warrants. What's in the Constitution has to be done for everybody if you ask me. I'm not a lawyer.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.

It's the only possible way to do it!

1,700+ theaters, only made $7M but they were packed and standing room only? This might be one of her dumbest lies and that's saying something!

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it
