There’s an assumption that they did vote for this. Something smells. Poland was steadfast in their policies that were contrary to the EU regarding immigration.
I believe the EU is evil. It’s centralized power run by politicians that the people didn’t elect. They have vast authority and I find it hard to believe they’d not get involved in ‘dealing with’ a country that isn’t playing ball.
If you’re the new Nazi’s, you’ll learn from the past and make sure it’s a whole lot harder to be seen as the new Nazi’s. Remember, some of the original EU founders were remnants of the Nazi party and many of the EU ideas & goals reflect those of the Nazi’s.
Poland has been quite a pro-American nation. Something is amiss.
Most people live most of their lives within a few square miles.
It is absurd to send huge percentages of personal income to a hostile government (in my case 1100 miles away) so it can make life in those few square miles worse.
There are going to be governments that will settle for 10% to mind their own business so you can mind yours.
Great post!!
Indeed....something IS amiss.
The time is coming when, if you identify as an American in this country, your name and picture will be on some Feddie “Red Flag” list. Americans are the bad guys now.
This is really the only news that matters right now. All our ills are rooted in the above, and drinking from the New Order Well.
Poland is a Catholic Conservative Bulwark inside the EU, however, it’s really difficult for the public to withstand the constant barrage of propaganda getting fed to them.
They see it in their media constantly, they are fed it thru social media constantly, it’s like a constant color revolution being played out to the citizens of Poland.
The Globalists are relentless, they will hammer away until one of their one of their own gets elected and immediately begin reversing conservative policies.
“Why do people vote for this?”
************************************************************
With the main stream media corrupt throughout the world, you have to expect average non-political folks, who just look at the headlines, and listen to the 6:00PM “news” sound bites, to believe “right wingers” are the problem.
After that, everything else is just cleaning up and taking out the trash. There is something to the old adage that in order for an adversary to conquer and control a people they must first get in control of communications.
There is no doubt the left is in complete control of communications. Republican politicians know this, and most will keep their heads down in order to survive. All who dare speak against the narrative can count on being swarmed by hordes of “journalists” looking (or even inventing...see Trump) for the slightest mis-step.
WTF. i thought Poland was the most stable European countries. Putin must be licking his chops.
Very true. Ignorance. People tend to believe what they hear on TV and are content with that because it requires no thought.

2015 presidential campaign
2020 presidential campaign
The second round took place on 12 July. Duda won reelection.
The first five-year term of Andrzej Duda began on 6 August 2015 with taking an oath of office during a National Assembly session.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrzej_Duda
It seems he is still President of Poland.
"Just following orders." Said the gulag guard.
Operation Mockingbird working like a well oiled machine.
Yes-
I think more and more people are waking up to the fact that these massive Intel apparatuses we created and pointed inward to save us from “drugs, terrorists and spies” are being used in political games.
I think more folks are realizing that law enforcement plays a big role in politics by oppressing the opposition.
Example: J6. That is a political purge. Pure and simple. These people are being persecuted because of their political persuasion. The DOJ and Intel apparatus is used to eliminate key leaders (Proud Boys, Oath Takers, one more), harass and intimidate their supporters, discredit and redirect attention away from fraudulent elections by focusing on a make belief insurrection and seditious acts, terms used the very next day by Pelosi, Shummer and others to set the stage and disqualify their primary political threat.
We have empowered politicians to be able to do these things today with idiotic ideas like FISA and the Patriot Act. We have closed both eyes and ears when it came out that our government is breaking basic Constitutional ideas with the Snowden leaks. We were silent when the US government got into the mass censorship business. We closed our eyes and ears when reports came out that we use torture, kidnap, and once again assassinate people we don’t like abroad. It was for “the greater good” and we all know that when you say “national security” you can scrap the Constitution, morals, international agreements...
Maybe this is good for us. It’s definitely what we asked for / deserve. We stood there idly as the storm was brewing and rationalized it step by step, laughing at all those that warned us about where that roads leads. So let’s not complain to much, it’s not like this came as a surprise or was forced on us. WE ASKED FOR THIS!!!
For the same reason Americans voted for Biden.
But they (WE) DIDN’T!
Totally sickening and they waste no time.

Tusk was born in Gdańsk in northern Poland. He has Polish, German (maternal grandmother) and Kashubian (Donald Tusk describes himself as a Pole, Kashubian and European
He has described his young life under communism as “so hopeless” due to the boredom and monotony, with “no hope for anything to change”. His young self was a “typical hooligan” who often got into fights – “we would roam the streets, you know, cruising for a bruising.”
During the 2007 parliamentary election campaign and initially when he entered office, Tusk promised to continue the free market policies, streamline the bureaucracy, enact long-term stable governance, cut taxes to attract greater foreign business ventures, encourage Polish citizens living overseas to return to Poland, and privatise state-owned companies. Later in office, Tusk changed his views on the role of taxation in the functioning of the state and his government never cut any taxes. Instead, it raised VAT from 22% to 23% in 2011, increased the tax imposed on diesel oil, alcohol, tobacco and coal, and eliminated many tax exemptions. The number of people employed in public administration also grew considerably. By 2012, the value of foreign investments in Poland had not matched the peak level attained in 2006–07, before Tusk entered office.
Tusk is moderately conservative on social issues. He is opposed to legalising abortion on demand, believing that current Polish legislation on abortion at that time (which allowed for legal abortion only when the pregnancy threatens the woman’s life or health, when the fetus is seriously malformed, and when the pregnancy results from rape or incest) protected human life best. Tusk has publicly stated that he opposes euthanasia.
In June 2022, Tusk changed his stance on abortion supporting a bill that would legalize abortion up to 12 weeks.
Tusk repeatedly stated his government’s intention in bringing Poland into the Eurozone.
In his premiership, Tusk has proposed various reforms to the Polish constitution. In 2009, Tusk proposed changes to the power of the presidency, by abolishing the presidential veto. “The president should not have veto power. People make their decision in elections and then state institutions should not be in conflict,” said Tusk. Tusk again reiterated his desire for constitutional reform in February 2010, proposing that the presidential veto be overridden by a simple parliamentary majority rather than through a three-fifths vote. “Presidential veto could not effectively block the will of the majority in parliament, which won elections and formed the government,” stated Tusk. Further constitutional reforms proposed by Tusk include reducing the Sejm from a membership of 460 to 300
On 31 January 2017, Tusk wrote an open letter to the 27 EU heads of state or government on the future of the EU before the Malta summit. In this letter, he stated the Trump administration presented a threat to the EU on a par with a newly assertive China, an aggressive Russia and “wars, terror and anarchy in the Middle East and Africa”.
Tusk’s actions in the wake of the 2010 plane crash that killed then-Polish President Lech Kaczyński provoked opposition from Poland’s governing right-wing party—critics said that Tusk’s centrist government did not sufficiently investigate the cause of the crash.
On 6 February 2019, Tusk held talks with Irish Premier Leo Varadkar in Brussels to discuss Britain’s departure from the European Union, stating that there was a “special place in Hell for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely”. Tusk opened his statement by saying there were 50 days to go until the UK’s exit from the EU: “I know that still a very great number of people in the UK, and on the continent, as well as in Ireland, wish for a reversal of this decision. I have always been with you, with all my heart. But the facts are unmistakable. At the moment, the pro-Brexit stance of the UK Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition, rules out this question. Today, there is no political force and no effective leadership for Remain. I say this without satisfaction, but you can’t argue with the facts.”
During his campaign, Tusk advocated for enhanced LGBT rights.
In the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, Tusk’s Civic Coalition finished as the second-largest bloc in the Sejm. Between them, Civic Coalition and two other opposition parties, Third Way and New Left, took 54% of the vote, winning enough seats to allow them to take power. On 10 November, Civic Coalition, New Left, the Polish People’s Party and Poland 2050 formally signed an agreement to support Tusk as their candidate for prime minister.
Tusk’s cabinet was sworn in on 13 December.

The US Embassy in Warsaw had Rainbow flags everywhere, I made a point to flip the bird at it when I walked past it.
Tusk is a crook, those folks have the goods on him, and he knows it.
Exactly
