Trump Embraces Authoritarian Playbook of Hungary's Orbán

once again as in the 1930's germany, jews are used, albeit in a different context, to advance an authoritarian agenda

"I don't take a back seat to anyone on the subject of antisemitism. Jews are being used here as a fig leaf to advance a broader attack on universities and higher learning," wrote Josh Marshall, the founder of the outlet Talking Points Memo, in response to the Thursday statement from the Department of Education. "Trump wants to bring Universities to heel and obedience. Jews are just a convenient cudgel here and just as disposable."

U.S. President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order on January 29 pledging to combat antisemitism on college campuses, has vowed to crack down on pro-Palestine protesters at universities.

Columbia University, in particular, has borne the brunt of Trump's scrutiny—despite the fact that university administration has already demonstrated it is willing to resort to punitive measures to quell student protest.


americans...wake up..your country is being stolen from you..watch social security fry...

Next step..ignore the judiciary...frump and his lickspittles did not even have to retire or remove the judges

this is a dangerous time for the us..though few of the slavishly deluded followers of the increasingly erratic frump would agree

this is a well trodden path to dictatorship..hitler and orban would be amazed at the ease with which frump has achieved this

the more he destroys the culture, artistic and scientific, of the us, the more they cheer.

the exceptional nation will not get humans to the moon, much less mars

musk cannot build a rocket that works..he is no werner von braun

"..The Alien Enemies Act, passed in 1798 under President John Adams as part of the Alien and Sedition Acts, grants the president unchecked powers to detain or deport nationals of enemy states without due process. It has been used only three times—during the War of 1812 and World War I, and, most notoriously, during World War II to justify the mass internment of Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans.

In every prior case, the act was invoked during a formally declared war. Trump, however, is using it to justify an entirely fictitious “war” against gangs allegedly linked to the Venezuelan government. His executive order brands Tren de Aragua (TdA) a “foreign terrorist organization,” supposedly colluding with President Nicolás Maduro to perpetrate “an invasion of and predatory incursion” into the United States.

Anyone accused of being a member of TdA is declared ineligible for legal protections under existing immigration laws. Determination of affiliation is made solely on the basis of claims by the president. That is, it asserts the right of Trump to arrest and deport any non-citizen, with no judicial process.

Perhaps even more significant than the order itself is Trump’s defiance of a judicial order blocking the deportations, issued just hours after the order’s release. Federal Judge James Boasberg ruled that the US is not at war with Venezuela and ordered planes carrying hundreds of chained and hog-tied passengers to turn back.

The Trump administration ignored this order, landing the planes in El Salvador, whose fascistic President Nayib Bukele has offered to open up the notorious Salvadoran prison system and forced labor camps to both immigrants and American citizens.

According to Axios, the decision not to turn back the planes was made by Trump’s fascist Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, along with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—on the absurd rationale that the planes were already in international airspace so the judge’s ruling did not apply.

The White House has appealed Boasberg’s ruling, with Attorney General Pam Bondi effectively accusing the judge of treason, claiming he had placed “terrorists over the safety of Americans.” Even if the courts ultimately rule against Trump, his administration has no intention of abiding by judicial directives.


one brave judge..expect this man to be harassed or threatened by maga thugs

Adolph hitler started his wars with a re-occupation of the rhineland...

Invasion of some relatively undefended, formerly occupied territory will fit the bill and be a good start

Step forward Panama

President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to prepare plans for carrying out his threat to "take back" the Panama Canal, including by military force if needed, two U.S. officials familiar with the situation told NBC News Thursday.

According to the outlet, the officials said that U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) is drawing up potential plans that run the gamut from working more closely with Panama's military to a less likely scenario in which U.S. troops invade the country and take the canal by force. They also said that SOUTHCOM commander Adm. Alvin Holsey has presented draft strategies to be reviewed by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is scheduled to visit Panama next month.

The officials explained that the likelihood of a U.S invasion depended on the level of cooperation shown by the Panamanian military.

Trump has repeatedly refused to rule out use of military force to seize control of the vital U.S.-built waterway, as well as Greenland, an autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.


if this goes well for the evil emprie, and it probably will, greenland will be next

then canada..cannot wait for that one..the economic prelude to invasion has started

What countries is Hungary invading? Like the typical libtard you segue into Hitler. Always Hitler.

Mindless morons.

So a year from now when no US soldier sets foot into Greenland or Panama you going to apologize? What an ass.

George H Bush actually did invade Panama to enact a regime change. One of those good republicans!
 
But before that

change the election procedure to make electing opponents harder

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul elections in the U.S., including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day.

The order says the U.S. has failed “to enforce basic and necessary election protections” and calls on states to work with federal agencies to share voter lists and prosecute election crimes. It threatens to pull federal funding from states where election officials don’t comply.

The move, which is likely to face swift challenges because states have broad authority to set their own election rules, is consistent with Trump’s long history of railing against election processes. He often claims elections are being rigged, even before the results are known, and has waged battles against certain voting methods since he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden and falsely blamed it on widespread fraud.


President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday outlining sweeping changes to the way federal elections are carried out nationwide, a responsibility the Constitution explicitly assigns to the states and Congress.

During a White House signing ceremony, staff secretary Will Scharf called the order “the farthest reaching executive action taken” in U.S. history.

It is very likely to face legal challenges. If implemented, however, it would dramatically increase Trump’s influence over the way Americans exercise their most fundamental civic right.

The order reflects many of the falsehoods and conspiracy theories Trump has spread about federal election security. It directs federal agencies and officials to change the federal voter registration form to require proof of citizenship, such as a passport or Real ID. It aims to bar states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, regardless of state laws on postmarking, and it directs the Justice Department to track and prosecute what the Trump administration considers election crimes.


I think we all know what "election crimes" will be

and if federal courts prove an obstacle to dictatorship

get rid of them

WASHINGTON — Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts.

It’s the latest attack from Republicans on the federal judiciary, as courts have blocked a series of actions taken by the Trump administration. In addition to funding threats, Trump and his conservative allies have called for the impeachment of certain federal judges who have ruled against him, most notably U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who attempted to halt Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.

“We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”

Johnson, a former constitutional attorney, later clarified that he was making a point about Congress’ “broad authority” over the “creation, maintenance and the governance” of the courts. Article III of the Constitution established the Supreme Court but gave Congress the power to “ordain and establish” lower federal courts.

Congress has eliminated courts in the past. In 1913, for example, Congress abolished the Commerce Court and its judges were redistributed to the federal appeals court, according to Congress.gov. And in 1982, Congress passed legislation abolishing the Article III Court of Claims and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and established the Article I Court of Federal Claims and the Article III U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who plans to hold a hearing focused on Boasberg and district judges next week, said he’s speaking with GOP appropriators about what he called “legislative remedies.”



looks like frump's lickspittles are all too willing to join him on the road to dictatorship

no more expensive election campaigns

Next step - from the man who kept an annotated copy of hitler's speeches by his bedside..

Gleichschaltung

The Nazi term Gleichschaltung (German pronunciation: [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ] , meaning "synchronization" or "bringing into line", was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler—leader of the Nazi Party in Germany—established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education".

Although the Weimar Constitution remained nominally in effect throughout Hitler's dictatorship, near total Nazification was achieved by 1935 with the resolutions approved during that year's Nuremberg Rally, fusing the symbols of the party and the state (see Flag of Nazi Germany) and depriving German Jews of their citizenship (see Nuremberg Laws). The tenets of Gleichschaltung, including the Nuremberg Laws,also applied to territories occupied by the German Reich.



if you substitute the word Palestinian for Jews, the resonance is obvious...

next step

attack the universities

universities are hated by the ignorant maga cult because they can effortlessly demolish maga myths...

frump does not care about jews; being a classic wasp he probably hates them..the charge of antisemitism is a convenient
cudgel with which to beat universities..

here frump is following the orban technique to the letter

"..Hungary’s parliament passed legislation on Tuesday setting up foundations to take over the running of universities and cultural institutions in a move critics say extends the ideological imprint of the ruling right-wing government.

Currently, most Hungarian universities are owned by the state but have a large amount of academic autonomy.

The bill, drafted by Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s deputy, says the universities need to be reorganized and run by foundations because modern conditions require a “re-thinking of the role of the state” and the foundations will manage institutions more efficiently

If it has to close like some bogus reason like ANTISEMITISM ( in reality anti-killing of women and children ) then you know that
freedom of speech has evaporated in the USA...

ironic that the activities of the nazis AGAINST the jews are now being used by the zionists FOR the jews...
