Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture
No longer a useful idiot
The Hungarian election is just a huge vibe shift for the EU. The perpetual narrative in the US and globally was the far-right is obviously coming to destroy the EU. But the massive defeat of Orban (should) change the narrative. And raise the question of the EU isn’t doomed… where is it headed?

Der Film "Mr Nobody against Putin" wurde vorige Woche von einem russischen Gericht verboten.
So ist es.
Trump sei Dank.
This sounds and is idiotic, but 146% I'd bet that this is how pistol Pete sells a mush-brained Trump on a Gulf island-hopping campaign
Just look into the eyes of the Chechen elites listening to Adam Kadyrov (Ramsan's 18 year old son) m̶u̶m̶b̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶addressing the local Security Council, which he chairs. So confident in his leadership!

This is petty nonsense.
The international order and key alliances that the UK has relied on for 80 years are literally falling apart, but by all means, let’s tell the PM to stay at home and pretend the world outside does not exist.
