Trump welcomes Hungary PM Viktor Orbàn to the WH today. Orbàn is a profile in illberal authoritarians grabbing democracy by the populism p*, as it were. Orban rose to power on anti-immigrant demagoguery, white nationalism & anti-Semitism. He's a hero to Bannon, and likely Trump.
If you haven't already, read @FranklinFoer's devastatingly good profile on Hungary's Orbàn and his authoritarian populist playbook. Don't think it can't happen here. Much of it already has. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… via @TheAtlantic
👏 A+ @CNN chyron headline on Trump hosting Hungary's Orban at the White House today.

"NOW: TRUMP HOSTS FAR-RIGHT LEADER ICED OUT BY BUSH, OBAMA"
@BrookeBCNN @DanaBashCNN
@CNN @BrookeBCNN @DanaBashCNN On the same day that Trump used the Holocaust to falsely slur a Congresswoman as anti-Semitic, Trump literally embraces a poster child for European white nationalism, anti-Semitism, authoritarian Viktor Orbán, who literally rose to power on racism & anti-Semitic attacks on Soros.
@CNN @BrookeBCNN @DanaBashCNN 🚨TRUMP: It's a great honor to have Orbán. He's done a tremendous job. Highly respected all over Europe. Probably like me a little bit controversial. But that's OK. You've done a good job. You kept your country safe.

Orbán is highly criticized by EU & US

😒Lost in translation. Putin chose his words carefully to achieve this conflation. He began, Mueller found “NO TRACE” which u expect means NO RUSSIAN TRACE=NO INTERFERENCE. But unexpectedly said “COLLUSION”—conflating interference w/ collusion & echoing Trump language+propaganda!
SO unnerving media missed Putin's linguistic bait+switch conflation, again denying the attack! He said Mueller proved "absolutely no traces of collusion," then launched into RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE was a fake. @business got so confused, even mistranslated it! bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
Watch Putin conflate interference w/ collusion (ala Trump). 00:29—"Mueller proved no trace of collusion w/ Russia…INTERFERENCE is nonsense." @business gets the translation wrong!🤯 Putin even adds NO GOVT interference. Another big lie. Indicted GRU = govt bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

🤡Trump: No I didn't ask Barr to investigate Russia probe origins. I didn't know about it, no. But it's a great thing. I'm so proud of our Attorney General. Because the Russia thing was a hoax. Even Mueller said so. He said "no collusion" and he's not my friend.
🤔"I did not know about it, no."
Trump's formulaic denial about:
–Barr investigating Russia investigation origins
–Michael Cohen paying hush money before election
–Trump Tower Meeting w/ Russians offering election help
–Flynn talking sanctions w/ Kislyak

#TrumpDenies #TrumpLies
Today Trump absurdly denied asking Barr to investigate Russia probe origins. But Barr admitted as much to @KamalaHarris, as she grabbed him by the "grappling with the word 'suggest'" in Senate testimony.

Media, do your job please. Hold GOP feet to fire‼️

Lavrov uses some telling Trump language in meeting w/ Pompeo —"Both sides," "Let's see what happens." Imitation is the best form of flattery, and flattery works with Trump. But Russia is the off-the-rails aggressor—in Ukraine, Syria, EU, US. Appeasement only emboldens aggressors.
US media is reporting Pompeo "warned" Russia about meddling. At presser Pompeo said he hopes Russia will demonstrate "these types of activities are a thing of the past." Not even a slap on the wrist! Who thinks rewarding Putin will stop Kremlin aggression??
😎Ok, that’s that then! Putin apes Trump, says “Mueller Report confirms no collusion” with Russia. Translation: Let’s forgive & forget that the Kremlin tipped a US election for a pliable authoritarian narcissist fraud now dividing & weakening America. #Russians4MAGA #winning

Quand #Trump rappelle en 1 tweet que durant ses 4 ans de présidence, il ne fera RIEN pour la transition énergétique US vers moins de CO2 émis par habitant et contre le dérèglement climatique. S'il est réélu, quasi mortel pour la planète. #climat #carbone RT
2) Pour mémoire, les émissions de CO2 par habitant en 2014 dans le monde. On comprend mieux la signification du renoncement de l'administration #Trump à la moindre transition énergétique aux #EtatsUnis. (source: NYTimes- juin 2017) #climat #carbone
3) Car #Trump, ce n'est pas que des tweets... pour l'#environnement, c'est 1 programme méthodique et bien défini de "dérégulation carbone", visant à affranchir la production et la consommation d'#énergie de toute limite d'émissions de GES au nom de la souveraineté US...

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

What the hell is happening between #Hungary and #Ukraine, why are diplomatic tensions rising dramatically?

Thread for CEE&Hungary watchers, and for journalists covering the topic!

bbc.com/news/world-eur…
It all started last year with Ukraine’s new education law requiring more Ukrainian language education for minorities who previously had much bigger autonomy. This ‘reform’ is a tool of Ukrainian nation-building&was primarily aimed at restricting Russian language education.
Collateral damage occurred as Polish, Romanian&Hungarian minorities were affected as well. Poland&Romania managed to solve the situation with Ukraine through negotiations but Hungary went berserk instead. Here’s a very good summary in English by @OSW_eng:

Hier et avant-hier, le président #Trump, ainsi que ses soutiens, laissaient entendre que le #FBI avait infiltré 1 taupe pour espionner sa campagne 2016. Cette accusation était gravissime, il y a eu du nouveau dans la nuit...#thread #breaking
2) Le #breaking badaboum du @washingtonpost (donc du sûr) cette nuit: le #FBI a déployé 1 informateur habituel- prof de fac à la retraite- auprès de 3 conseillers de la campagne #Trump déjà soupçonnés de liens avec la #Russie, ET NON DANS la campagne. washingtonpost.com/politics/secre…
3) La chronologie est essentielle pour bien comprendre le déploiement de l'informateur: il ressortait, même de documents pro #Trump comme le mémo #Nunes, que le #FBI commença son enquête sur de possibles liens entre la campagne et la #Russie début juillet 2016...

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
