Hungarian FM blasts ‘silence’ on Trump’s disqualification from Colorado ballot
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has slammed “the silence” surrounding the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to disqualify former US President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot.
“Let’s take a moment to consider what would happen if something similar happened in a central European country led by a patriotic government…” Szijjártó said on Facebook.
“How many minutes would it take for the European Parliament to declare the death of democracy?” the minister said. “How long would it be before the US State Department put out a statement condemning the ruling? How many minutes would pass before the European Commission froze the blocked EU funds even more, and how many minutes would it take for articles on all platforms of the global liberal media network to declare the destruction of the rule of law?”
“And what do we have now? Silence. But not because of Advent,” he added.

Ehhh. Our Politicians keep on saying local and sovereign should be respected? This is application of Colorado (State) law – the federal government has nothing to do with this. Let’s see what the U.S. Supreme Court has to say.
Lastly – this hinges on Mr. Trump´s role in “January 6” which was not exactly a picnic. More like an insurrection, and there is the elephant in the room. Silence may be indeed be the best response for now, until justice runs its course – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers

On Page 32, even Mr. Gorsuch (an associate justice of the US Supreme Court) gets a mention: “as then-Judge Gorsuch recognized in Hassan, it is “a state’s legitimate interest in protecting the integrity and practical functioning of the political process” that “permits it to exclude from the ballot candidates who are constitutionally prohibited from assuming office.” 495 F. App’x at 948.

Accountability is scary
14th Amendment Of The US Constitution – Section Three
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Péter Szijjártó is Orban’s puppy – with the brainless thoughts of a once over-rated footballer. When he tries to speak English – his logic and ideology is all over the place.
It may be difficult for Hungarian politicians to understand the importance of a constitution – where it can’t just be played around with to suit Szijjártó’s ‘Master’ (“here boy, heel!”) – Having made so many amendments that it has had more changes than Szijjártó’s had clean underwear.
A proper constitution – like the USA’s – doesn’t allow such gratuitous changes and the 14th amendment has a ‘section three’ – which states that if a potential candidate has partaken in an ‘insurrection or uprising’ – then they disqualify themselves from standing as president. It’s worth a try.
Unfortunately it’s unlikely to work because it will be appealed at the federal Supreme Court – but it’s worth a try to stop the ‘Orange Man Child – pussy-grabbing Thug with an IQ so low that he has never read a book – truly bigly’ from becoming President again.
But Orban is worse, alas. The ‘basic law’ has been stitched up by Orban’s pretend Parliament – and all you brain-dead Hungarians continue to put him into power.
Charlie H your a dipshit at best if you believe that you are informed. Trump said to protest which is legal in the US at no point did he advise to storm the capital building they were let in by official’s to create the narrative.
If Hungarians are brain dead because they have a leader that puts their country first, if that’s the case compared to you at least they were born with a brain in the first place.
where in the hell do you get your information from CNN… smh.
Foreign Minister – Peter Szijjarto, is a “gullible” puppet – a “paper” doll of Victor Orban, up to his neck, in all the massive wrongs even outside of his Ministerial Portfolio, that this Orban Government are into.
The same must be said of the Finance Minister – Mihaly Varga, a founding Father of Fidesz, a protected species of Victor Orban, that like Szijjarto, just “lemming” along, following the Pied Piper (Victor Orban) that when he walks to the cliff edge and is either “pushed” or jumps of his own accord right behind him will be Mihaly Varga and Peter Szijjarto.
Sooner than later, it mounts on Orban and his Government, that cliff edge is becoming extremely visible and the Pied Piper (Victor Orban) running short on tunes to play on his Whistle, that will coincide with reaching that cliff edge and nothing left for him, then
over they all descend into the DEEP valley of the un-known.
Wonder if Victor Orban, believing in himself as a Demigod individual, wonder if his musical talents, if he has any, could rewrite the score of Beethoven’s Death March, but re-arrange it to represent his “infamous” time as Prime Minister of Hungary, titling it ?
Lets have a Hungarian population competition for what name this composition could be titled.
@Ross – little fact check. It was not a picnic nor a Capitol tour:

Dear Lorraine – I couldn’t put it any better than you! Well done. You seem very well informed on matters Hungarian – unlike ‘Ross’ – who’s logic doesn’t compute!
Ross thinks the Capital Building security let the insurrectionists in! What a conspiracy-theory laugh! Many people died – ‘letting them in’. What planet are you on Ross.
And Orban is trousering all the EU proceeds together with Lőrinc Mészáros, István Tiborcz (remember Eliot ZRT?), Ráhel Orbán, Anikó Lévai (all those Tokai vineyards!) – and Orban’s ‘family’ of oligarchs!
Ross? You’re an idiot if you think Orban is putting his country first! Really! You just have to stop believing all those conspiracy theories – and shape-shifting lizards. Have you tried David Ike’s website? It’s right up your street!
