Seguimos en una época muy jodida para la humanidad, la buena noticia, es que en algún momento unas nuevas generaciones podrán voltear a ver este momento y vernos con mofa ¿cómo pudimos ser tan idiotas? ¿cómo es que Orvan, Maduro, López Obrador, Erdogan y Trump eran admirados, hasta queridos? ¿es qué eramos estúpidos?
The former president was not giving up top-secret national-security documents. DOJ had no choice but to act. Trump has only himself to blame.
I’d compare the unredacted portions of the warrant affidavit to a case outline, a lawyer’s summary. We know the broad strokes of a potential criminal case against former President Donald Trump, and we know why the Department of Justice was alarmed by his conduct. But we don’t know the details, and in a potential criminal case, the details truly matter.
An admiration for autocrats was once seen as a disorder of the left, but American conservativism has its own discreditable history of this. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has become a hero for the American right. This past January, Tucker Carlson relocated his Fox News show for the second time to Budapest. In May, Orbán himself opened a special event in Budapest organized by the U.S. Conservative Political Action Conference; the Hungarian leader was a guest again at the group’s annual meeting this month in Texas, where his declaration that “the globalists can all go to hell” was greeted with hosannas. In between those two appearances, Orbán was welcomed for a huddle with Donald Trump. And after the prime minister gave a speech in July in Romania warning about the perils of “mixed race” relationships, the well-known American conservative writer Rod Dreher rose to his defense, brushing aside any notion that Orbán is racist and overlooking Hungary’s fascist past. John O’Sullivan, a former editor of National Review, now runs a think tank called the Danube Institute, which receives funding from the Hungarian government, which is run by Orbán’s populist national-conservative party, Fidesz. In the Claremont Review of Books, Christopher Caldwell declared that Orbán is “blessed with almost every political gift—brave, shrewd with his enemies and trustworthy with his friends, detail-oriented, hilarious.”
