Never heard about Pence nearly getting lynched. Is this a lie or even a reference?
Understandable
I wonder if Trump will become this forum’s new age Boris?
At least our PMs are just idiots

Politicians were not killed, or dragged through the streets of Washington. But the mob that smashed its way into Congress gave every indication of trying. Some chanted “Hang Mike Pence”. A gallows was erected outside.
Liz Cheney, the Wyoming Republican and deputy committee chair, said then: “Aware of the rioters’ chants to ‘hang Mike Pence,’ the president responded with this sentiment: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea.’ Mike Pence ‘deserves it’.”

You are seeing a connection that does not exist because you have not bothered to find out anything about central Europe governments and politics. Or even current countries. It is this sort of willful ignorance that allows people to be vulnerable to misguiding claims.
Poland - president is Donald Tusk, a centre-right politician
East Germany no longer exists; Germany is led by centre-left SDP but it is very wrong to consider this party as socialist
Czechoslovakia no longer exists, Czechia government is led by right wing Petra Fiala
I suggest you treat wikipedia and google as your friends and do a tiny bit of research before you make ignorant posts and make yourself look silly. I can’t even be bothered to respond to your claim that all left of centre governments treat democracy in the way N Korea does. I can’t because I’m laughing so hard at the stupidity of that claim.
The facts on that point don’t matter. Robin 1 may have forgotten that Trump changes his political affiliation when it suits - he has been Republican, Independent, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Republican in his (known) political history.

Engel and Lichtman, however, expressed concern that Trump’s response to the verdict could erode trust in U.S. institutions that allowed for the former president’s trial to take place.

That is by far the biggest challenge.

The tabloid It a sad is reference, read the Jan 6 committee report. It’s easily accessible.
The gallows were not even on the capital grounds. It wasn’t even a operational/ functional gallows.
Good example of life’s experience. Reading the countries names is self-explanatory, that I’m not talking about current countries.
I have dealt with Socialist Democrat countries.
Silly is lack of reading comprehension.
Socialist Democratic countries are falling by the wayside because they don’t work.
By the time I was 42, I had half my life living in foreign countries. I have a better world experience then the majority of the people.
One can change their political party as many time as the want in the US.
You expect a history of consistent political views from any national leader but particularly the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet. One minute he was pro-choice, the next he is pro-life. A political chameleon. The only thing consistent about him is that he will always bend the rules when it suits.
And that is not against the law.
No, but it’s against good old common sense if you vote for him knowing this
And your conclusion, form all that worldly experience, is to vote for Trump. Strange. Must have been quite a unique overseas experience.
Another conclusion is that you think countries who are / have been run by Social Democratic parties are failing. Some evidence of that would be useful - because if we look back over the last 50 years we can see that this is not correct.
By the way, you did explicitly state (no need for explanation about current or previous names) that Social Democrat run countries have governments that act like North Korea and China in dealing with political opponents. Which is such an ignorant and plain wrong claim. So can see why I assumed, when you were referring to old country names, that you had no idea what you were talking about. Or did your many, many years living in foreign countries somehow lead you to such a completely wrong conclusion? What exactly were you doing in these countries if you could not see and understand what was going on around you? Did you not get out much?
Not in this country
Google forer socialist countries and then current socialist countries.
Trump GUILTY of all charges…
And after ALL discussion, which changes not one thing…or, one single GUILTY verdict…

Not sure why but this is what the search came up with:
The most socialist countries in the world include:
- China
- Cuba
- Laos
- Vietnam
- Wa State
- Transnistria
- India
Plus: Algeria, Bangladesh, Guyana, Nepal, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. .
Former socialist countries include:
- Soviet Union
- Yugoslavia
- East Germany
- Democratic Kampuchea
What is your point? Where are all the European socialist states? Have you been getting confused between a socialist state (see list above) and a capitalist state with a left of centre government?
Yep, you conveniently left out all the east European counties, south West Asia countries, South American countries.
Pitiful.
