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.

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. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
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."

Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its “equal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.

This stuff at the highest level of a government and covering it up being so widespread is so shocking. Some members of the committee smirking, joking. Rolling out the Epstein evidence so it overwhelms and stops people connecting with the information is a strategy. Where is the humanity.

I have watched some of the hearing with Attorney General of the US. Its easily one of the more shocking things I've seen, particularly given so many survivors of Epstein are sat there. People who have gone through unimaginable things as children. Its so clear there is a massive cover-up.

#Psychology still has a way to go. Seen few times recently.... I use a similar robust methodology in two papers. One gets "excellent paper...." The other, reject, methods etc not robust. The glaring difference..... One has significant effects, the other doesn't.

This is what I saw every other day as a child in rural Connemara in Ireland which is an Irish speaking area (where I am from). It is so heartbreaking seeing what is happening. It is so disappointing and upsetting seeing so many of those in any form of power being silent.

Image of wall in Connemara in Ireland. It is of the side of an old building with the words "free palestine" painted across it.

As strange as it is to say, I'm convinced that the pandemic was such a globally devastating emergency that it masked how clearly incompetent and ignorant Trump is. He demonstrated plenty of it during his last term, but this is next level stuff.
