Newly-Elected Hungarian PM Says Orbán Was Paying CPAC, Calls It a ‘Crime’ That ‘Will Have to Be Investigated’ Péter Magyar, the Hungarian Prime Minister-Elect, announced that outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government had been paying CPAC, but he would put an immediate end to that -- and even went so f...

I feel like this ought to be treated as a bigger story…

Is anybody convinced by Trump‘s Jesus backtrack?

They might be interested in some swamp land I have for sale in Florida.

Weirdly, I now find myself agreeing with JD Vance that Orbán is showing the West the path to the future.

"We've found our Krypto!"

I agree but will make an exception for any Democrat in a debate with a Republican who tees up a crushing response with the quote, "There you go again…"

Invariably, the self-anointed ubermenschen are utter morons.

My happiness at the safe splashdown and recovery of the Artemis 2 crew is only a little tempered by my disappointment that they had not been transformed into the Fantastic Four.

No wonder they demonize him so much: he's far more eloquent than anybody on their side.

She was the one in that Hitchcock comedy, right?

I'd say tribalism and greed.

Yes, he’s a dedicated follower of fascism.
A dedicated follower of fascism.
Oh, he’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 7/7

He pretends to care for voting booths and laws that keep us free,
But he’d gladly trade them for an authoritarian's decree.
He cheers the purges and the bans,
Targeting the brown and trans,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 6/7

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flirts with strongmen and totalitarianism.
There’s one thing that he really loves,
It's taking off the velvet gloves,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 5/7

When presented with a fact or two,
He lobs an insult straight at you.
It's all the discourse he can do,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism.

In echo chambers he will hide,
Full of reactionary pride.
He's hankering for genocide,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 4/7

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He rallies 'round the flag with ultranationalism.
His grievances are loud and long,
Convinced that experts all are wrong,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 3/7

He haunts the comment threads all day,
With no factual things to say.
Drops some laugh emojis, then he calls you gay,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 2/7

With apologies to The Kinks… especially Ray Davies

(Sung to the tune of "A Dedicated Follower of Fashion")

They seek him here, they seek him there,
His bright red hat atop his hair.
He loves a strongman, doesn't care,
He’s a dedicated follower of fascism. 1/7

From childhood onwards I'd hear old people complaining about the indignities of aging, and I did not register it.

So now here I am, shocked at the indignities of aging.

And complaining about them.

FWIW Wil, your book really spoke to me and helped me work through a lot of things I'd been carrying around all of my life.

Thank you.

The Royal astrologers must have determined that tonight is an inauspicious time to trigger World War III.

You state that no one is misunderstanding, but I’ve had long discussions with people who are under exactly that misapprehension.

I agree they can all be impeached and should be.

But whether it must proceed individually or done simultaneously is a matter of constitutional law, not a “me thing”.

If nothing else, Democrats should make it crystal clear that anybody and everybody who participates in the commission of war crimes will face tribunals that hold them accountable.

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, for certain.

And “I was only following orders“ is no defense.

Well, yeah. Each of them needs to be impeached for their own set of crimes.

You are misunderstanding what article 2 section 4 says. It lists the officials who are capable of being removed by impeachment and the crimes for which they can be impeached.

Those officials can be impeached individually, but it doesn’t say that all of them can be impeached together in one stroke.

EMERGENCY RELEASE from Gen. Eaton.

A majority of his cabinet cannot be relied upon to do the right thing.
