"Trump repeatedly stated his support for Orban while JD Vance and Marco Rubio each made separate trips to Hungary to campaign for the corrupt autocrat."

I'm glad Hungarian voters were smart enough to see through the MAGA bullshit. Too bad American voters can't.

Jane in NC's avatar

I hope Donnie, JD [not his real name] and Vladimir are all enjoying their egg facials.

LOVE THIS!!! Made my day 🍳🍳🍳🍳

Nice picture of our Sec of State looking utterly DRUNK at a dumb fight last night while the negotiations were going on. What an absolute clown show this is and an utter embarrassment.

Marliss Desens's avatar

Remember how Biden's Secretary of State would attend negotiations in person, and Biden would be waiting to be briefed? Rubio and Trump go to a UFC match and let three people with no negotiating skills and inadequate cultural knowledge handle matters.

Oaktown's avatar

Oh, I think American voters are starting to wake up. Remember, it took Hungarian voters 16 years to wake up in large enough numbers for a landslide opposition to overwhelm all obstacles Orban had put into place during his corrupt rule.

SFGal's avatar

God forbid such is not our slow-witted fate, Oak!

James Rodell's avatar

Slowly if not surely voters are waking up -- except for the diehards. I feel so good and grateful learning about the the Hungarian peoples' choice.

Rhonda's avatar

Is that Joe Rogan in the photo of trump & rubio?

Derek Smith's avatar

I think that’s Tiffany in between T @ Rubio. No?

SFGal's avatar

I thought it was Ivanka trying to look her slinkiest most fetching at the meat fest!

Robin D's avatar

Yes. I'm surprised he dragged her out.

Robin D's avatar

Yes and he's revolting. Don't ever trust him.

Marliss Desens's avatar

Yes. The outrage appears to have been short-lived on his part.

Gorden Bitler's avatar

It looks like Rogan but it is Dana White from the UFC

Marliss Desens's avatar

Thanks for the correction.

Most American voters see through Trump's BS. MAGA doesn't. Donald lost.Here are some facts. 8M voters were purged in 2024. Biden wrote an EO & a US Treasury Report was issued on Dec 31, 2024, documenting foreign interference in the 2024 election by Russia (bomb threats, AI involvement & disinformation), Iran (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), with "US BASED FACILITATORS." As a former Republican, you should know GOP have been rigging elections for decades, fine tuning their craft with Russia. The National Press Club has put out a chart: Rove's Empire of Election Fraud. I will link it below. GOP talk endlessly about VOTER fraud to coverup their ELECTION fraud. Democrats are finally waking up & winning special elections. Every win counts. Every vote counts! So quit complaining & fight for Democracy on your local & state levels, protest, donate, & VOTE! CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION FREQUENTLY TO AVOID BEING PURGED!!!

Steve's avatar

How long will it take Trump to say that Peter Magyar cheated?

Vanessa's avatar

He always says it's rigged,false news ect. What's he going to do now? Declare war on Hungary? Demand a Wellness Check!! From what I read, you don't need a warrant!!!

Patrice Mobley's avatar

Cheater will always cheat and lie.

LHS's avatar

First he has some ketchup bottle tossing to do.

Old Man's avatar

Can't wait for him to pronounce last name.

Terry24x's avatar

He’ll say it was rigged.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Without a doubt!

Essential Network's avatar

As of right now, no statement congratulating Prime Minister-elect Magyar.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Of course! With the magic superteam of Vance, Little Marco and Donnie Jr, how could Orban, or anyone, lose?

Fraser's avatar

He probably had a chance until Vance showed up-Putin will be making demands on Trump now! Trump may be called to Moscow for a dressing-down! Plus show him the pics they took-Melania wouldn't like that I guess😳

Karen D's avatar

Borowitz, after hearing Orban lost:

"Ghost of Pope Francis to Viktor Orban: I told you not to let Vance near you."

😂

Fraser's avatar

Perfect! Trump and Vance for sure aren't bringing people good luck!!:)

Robin D's avatar

I love Andy 😂❤

I said JD Vance is like Typhoid Mary. He brings death and pestilence wherever he goes.

Robin D's avatar

I thought Eric was "Fredo", the dumb one, but now that honor belongs to Jr. Could he be any more blatant in his corruption " vote for my Dad's friend. Viktor Orban will have a line straight to the White House" in that tweet?

And they didn't Donnie Jr. Because they're smart, and they hate him as much as they hate your demented and deranged father 😂

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I'm waiting for it!

Robin D's avatar

"Orban? Viktor Orban? Noooo.....I've never heard of him. Nooooo...I've never met him. JD and Marco have, but I know nothing about him". 😳 This stuff can write itself.

Julie's avatar

By 10 pm tonight probably.

Catherine E's avatar

Thank you for highlighting Orban’s huge loss. This gives new energy to the Resistance here in the States. The republicans will lose big time in the midterms!

Mike Hammer's avatar

Exactly! This was a taste of what is to come.

Fraser's avatar

Yup!

Nice cartoon win Mike on Robert Reich's contest!! Funny stuff:)

djw's avatar

I'd like to see us show up in the numbers they saw. Our marches so far have been, comparatively, only a drop in the bucket.

Fraser's avatar

Super-important news-changes everything! Vance and Rubio are toast!!

Jane in NC's avatar

MAGA is next! Book it!

WJB Motown's avatar

The cancer that festered in Europe has been fried and zapped by a democracy lazer beam!! Next up to be vapourized is Kankles McTacotits and his Maggot bottomfeeding dipshit QAnon losers.

Sherry's avatar

"If there is hope," Winston wrote, "it lies with the proles." "Proles," to me, means, the courageous, indefatigable, and ordinary people of Hungary, and of the world, who exact powerful change by fighting for it and voting for it.

djw's avatar

Proud prole here!

Barbara Craig's avatar

The size of Hungary makes it possible to show up in fewer places. Of course more can and should show up in the US, but we are so widely dispersed.

Archie Leach's avatar

proles 1984

+4

In George Orwell's 1984, the "proles" (proletariat) are the uneducated working-class majority comprising roughly 85% of Oceania's population. Living in poverty yet largely free from surveillance, they are viewed as subhuman by the Party, which prevents them from revolting by fostering ignorance, focusing them on menial work, and providing distractions like pornography, betting, and alcohol.

SFGal's avatar

Wow! 1984, Sherry, as I just made a similar kind of literary reference from Huxley's "Brave New World." Dystopia comes in all shades and forms, seeming like we're living -- trying to survive on one this very day, gratis Project 2025 + 90 million who didn't vote in 2024.

“We're putting on a complete blockade. We're not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like and not people that they don't like or whatever it is. It's going to be all or none.”

Then why in the almighty fuck did you remove the sanctions on the sale of their oil?!!!

djw's avatar
3hEdited

And also, if Iran has already blockaded the strait, how are "we" going to "put on a complete blockade"? Has Demento Donnei figured out how to remove their blockade so we can put ours up? And if the point is to remove the blockage, how do a US version improve the situation?

Deborah Hunter's avatar

If this wasn't so horrifying, it would be great comedy.

Robin D's avatar

Stanley Kubrick, without a doubt.

Alastair McLean's avatar

And how are countries that have already paid Iran $2 million per ship going to react when the USA stops their ships instead? Now the USA is being as obstructionist as Iran for countries in Asia. And, no Comrade Donald, they won't be buying Venezuelan!

Fraser's avatar

Go figure!!

Dawn Kucera's avatar

Hey, John S, you are trying to be logical!!??!!!??!!😬 That doesn’t work when trying to figure out trump-world.

John Schwarzkopf's avatar

Dawn, I know, what the hell was I thinking!

Dawn Kucera's avatar

That's what I was wondering too! :+))))) Glad you seem to have come to your senses. 😜

Julie's avatar

Excellent question.

Terry24x's avatar

Doesn’t the US have any skilled, trained negotiators? Or any experts on Iran? I guess not, so they had to send a vice president with limited experience ( a couple of years in the Senate, no international roles), an old friend of the president, and the president’s son-in-law.

Barry G. Hall's avatar

The Trump administration values neither skills or experience. It values only loyalty to Trump. The result is exactly as expected.

Pamela S.'s avatar

Yeah, a real top notch first-string team there, right? 🙄

ramonaj's avatar

I call them them Moe , Larry and Curly. Stupid stooges.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

The regime fired them all!

Dawn Kucera's avatar

Of course we do. But trump fired all of them. He doesn’t want expertise. Look at his entire senior leadership.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Trump downsized the Middle East section at State, and closed its Iran office.

Who needs genuine experts when you can sending your grifting real estate buddy and your favorite son-in- law instead?

Greg Bee's avatar

The godfather Don Trumpeoni wills it. Easy peasy. What could possibly go wrong?

Barbara Craig's avatar

Trump got rid of folks with expertise and prefers those who drink the kool aid or want to be near the man who seems able to wield his power with impunity.

Julie's avatar

All of the experts have been fired. The government has been hollowed out and now is filled with the chucklefucks who are running the show.

Fraser's avatar

Programmed for failure! If it weren't for Trump's cruelty commitment, that entire WH would be working at a Car Wash, with maybe a long shot at getting the job done!!

RMW's avatar

The Three Stooges thought they were negotiating a deal for Trump to put his name on Tehran's tallest building.

May Lee's avatar

You do know they fired any competent person in the federal government? They can't stand being in the same room with an intelligent person. I just imagine them saying to themselves I'M the SMARTEST person in the room. That's why trump hates children and animals - they are all smarter than him.

SFGal's avatar

Think they fired them all, Terry24x, such that anyone with an IQ over 70 was deemed unfit for service in this vermin-infested regime. Only Epsilons need apply or qualify.

Steve's avatar

Fuck Vance and Rubio!!!

Terri Kern, Clinical Counselor's avatar

Dear elected officials who are not Republican:

Is there anyone actually doing anything about this?

I'm 61 and I've never felt so unsafe.

And BTW - The Ohio GOP is insanely corrupt!

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

The Ohio GOP is so corrupt and desperate that they're trying to blow up a story about the Democratic candidate for governor, Amy Acton, having been involved in a minor domestic incident 7 years ago, that apparently was mostly an argument after a night of drinking. If you have nothing to say about Ohio's Leslie Wexner's best buddy's best buddy (Les Wexner>Jeffrey Epstein>Donald Trump) then just shut up. The Ohio GOP stole $61 million to destroy our energy infrastructure and then went on to destroy our public schools, then spent a week debating whether to ban drag shows. STFU, Ohio GOP.

Terri Kern, Clinical Counselor's avatar

I seriously feel like I woke up one morning to every Republican in Ohio's government corrupt. After doing research it's been going on for a long time, the republicans in Ohio have a long history of corruption.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Remember Coingate? At least back then, it was a scandal and they paid the price. Now they've got the state so gerrymandered and voters so discouraged, they never pay for anything.

Terri Kern, Clinical Counselor's avatar

Tom Noe, I sure do! It’s all true.

SFGal's avatar

Ain't they the ones who keep electing that rabid Jim Jordan, Terri?

Terri Kern, Clinical Counselor's avatar

Yep. In a very gerrymandered district. Shocker!

May Lee's avatar

The GOP in EVERY state is insanely corrupt - and also just plain insane.

Barbara Craig's avatar

You are right about Ohio. Gerrymandering has minimized accountability. I hope they return to purple.

Old Man's avatar

"Trump is a busted flush..."

Of course he is, he has never played with a full deck. Hey dumbass, guess who doesn't have the cards?!

SFGal's avatar

Hallelujah, Old Man! Right on target! And in his own words as well.

Nancy Elise Pulliam's avatar

Trump said, “Every law in the book is being violated by (Iran).” Trump certainly knows how to spot that! He wrote that book.

Susan Sage's avatar

Yes- The Art of the Steal

Vanessa's avatar

With help from Musk😡

Robin D's avatar

He started a war and now can't get out of it. Between that, and Orbon today, he has to be flipping out.

Essential Network's avatar

We got blocked by Dutch far-right populist Geert Wilders for responding to his meltdown on X. He stated: "Orban was the only leader with balls in the EU. Tough on migration and anti-woke. Budapest is thanks to him an oasis of safety compared to A’dam, Brussels, or Paris. Now we’re stuck with weaklings like Jetten, Macron, Sanchez, and Merz. A sad day. But we’ll keep fighting!"

We said in response, "Peter Magyar will be tough on migration and anti-woke, but his government will be the opposite of corrupt and pro-Moscow." Looks like his staff got so upset, they told us "SHUT UP" by blocking us. So every time Wilders says that he and his party are "in favor of free speech", all we'll say is "LOL".

Fraser's avatar

Great job!!

Carole Langston's avatar

Big smile on our faces. Good News.

Fraser's avatar

Amen to that Carole:)

John Michael's avatar

There is absolutely no one negotiating this from the US that has any skills to negotiate taking a crap. These negotiations are tactile and stressful and takes someone with a shit load of experience in geopolitics to negotiate with Iran. This bunch of deplorables attempting to govern is like a two year old trying to write code for AI.

This is unlawful, pathetic and destructive to all the citizens of the United States. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!!!

Fraser's avatar

Well, plus they are arrogant and insulting! Of course, the other side pulls back!!

May Lee's avatar

They can't spell negotiation much less define it much less know how it's done.

Kathryn's avatar

39% approval my ass 💩

Rosann's avatar

Exactly. How is it that high?

Robin D's avatar

I was afraid to check the news so I waited for you Ron. I am screaming. I ran to the NYTimes website and screen capped that Orban conceded. I can't even imagine the hysteria coming from Donnie. It is all coming apart. We won't hear the end of it how it was "stollen" and rigged, like 2020. He'll never let it go. Wonder if Vlad is besides himself. I have to go back and read. I never expected to find out this quickly either. Happy for Hungary 🙏❤

Fraser's avatar

Yes, it must have been all the people lining the streets-they have foreseen a run on the palace kind of thing coming-he will go to jail for sure!! Putin will be sleeping in different beds now!!

SFGal's avatar

But I fear in his retaliatory ketchup rage DT is gonna take it out on us, the abused domestic violence victims, as some more nasty punishment in days ahead, Robin. Wasn't it Tucker Carlson who'd said "Daddy" was going to give a "vigorous spanking" to whom he perceived as his disobedient children?

Patrice Mobley's avatar

Ok America we know what to do in November. This time lets make sure we DRAIN the swamp!!
