I hope The Scroll highlights Gadi Taub's excellent article in Tablet, Why the Right Is Drawn to Hungary. It does a great job putting Viktor Orban in context. Until his return to power in 2010, communist authoritarians continued to control of every institution in Hungary, which they used to thwart Orban and his clear mandate. Orban then set about to reform these corrupted institutions, one by one. When he did so, he was denounced as an enemy of democracy.

Sound familiar?

The Executive Branch had enough on this guy to deport him, so he was shipped out. The public reaction of his defenders doesn’t play well with voters, as we could have expected. So these critics dig themselves a bigger hole.

Busy news cycle and really just scratched the surface.

Agree with Matt L below, the Admin purposely dripped the details of MM for maximum effect. I even believe they knew some Rep or Senator would stupidly fly down because that’s what stupid people do.

And thank god there’s at least one Supreme Court that isn’t afraid of biology.

The meeting with Meloni seemed to go well. And news that Musk, Palantir and Alduril teaming up is bigger than Durant going to Warriors a few years ago.

Trump trolling the D’s & MSM w/ the ‘Maryland Man’ case. Lots of old media attention on this while the zone gettin’ flooded by so much more. If the human trafficking gains traction, that can also be wrapped around Booker’s neck after he takes his own obligatory trip to Pulgarcito.

Since when is the penalty for treason "max 10 years"?

The Iranian spy should be denaturalized and shipped back to Iran once he completes his time in federal prison.

What are the chances the truth about “the Maryland man” will come out in mainstream media?

I guess the tattoo symbols spelling out MS13 on his fingers were not a clue. He’s here illegally, he’s on a terror watch list, he’s a violent wife heater, he’s admitted he’s in MS13 and has the gang’s symbols tattooed on his hand, but it’s a bad idea to deport him? GTFO. Why on earth would the FBI tell the cops to let this thug go after he broke the law? Because they are compromised and are now the Dems enforcers, not a trusted law enforcement agency.
