but when a president berates a "so-called judge" and threatens the separation of the branches of government-- i don't smell the stench of populist tyrants like hugo chávez because "soros told me".

an authoritarian is an authoritarian is a authoritarian. and authoritarianism is a terrible form of government in spite of short term superficial results and empty promises.

"soros" didn't make me grow up in a dictatorship so i could come to tell you this decades later.
