Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]
JD Vance has two jobs this weekend:
1) Surrender to Iran without it looking too much like surrender or set up a resumption of war without it looking too much like America failing to control events
2) Get Orban reelected in Hungary
To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry
more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out
i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain
Cover drop and I'm in love

Yesssssssss
I've read and cited in my book everything Tanner has ever written. Will read his new piece with interest because it's get federalism + sovereignty written all over it.
Congratulations, Tanner! cc @jacobtlevy.bsky.social @philiprocco.bsky.social William Meyers @gracemallon.bsky.social
Orban, Bolsonaro, Trump, and all the rest of these goons want you to believe they are inevitable and, once in power, invincible. They are not.
Really looking forward to JD Vance campaigning for Netanyahu later this year.
for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺
J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.
The fact that Orbán actually conceded and didn’t claim victory anyway is huge and makes me very hopeful about the state of Hungary’s democracy (in contrast with ours…)

This is a beautiful day for liberal democracy. 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺
I take your point, and definitely don't want to perpetuate anti-Muslim stereotypes... but also Iran is the country that we have a literal war with at the moment..
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers now patrolling a dozen airports, including Chicago O’Hare International Airport, are missing a key credential that experts say could potentially make airports less safe. The armed federal agents lack an airport identification badge required of all other airport personnel, including law enforcement. The photo ID’s are meant, in part, to ensure imposters can’t defeat security measures by simply wearing a police uniform and walking with a gun through a checkpoint. The ICE agents seen at O’Hare don’t wear uniforms beyond a badge on their belt and bulletproof vest with a Velcro patch, signifying their agency.
Omfg how long till Iran realizes they can do another 911 just by dressing like ice. We are truly ruled by morons. wgntv.com/news/wgn-inv...
"The dumbest person you know is being told 'you are absolutely right' by an AI right now."
It is Election Day in Hungary.
Time to oust Orban!!
Also nobody on earth is attractive enough to move from Spain to nowheresville New Hampshire for
For Vance, yes.
Frfr the Thailand guy just spent his return flight ticket money on a breeding pair of water buffalo
Also there really needs to be a sequel to the show called "holy fuck I realized I was visa-engaged to an EU citizen and I noped right out of this fascist hellhole and now I have medical care"
Also the worst part might be how they subtitle all the foreigners speaking their English on the assumption that nobody will be understand their accents
Arizona guy with two prior failed marriages who found someone in the Philippines on tinder just came on
There's the guy trying to figure out how to pay the dowry in Thailand, the Christian musician girl who doesn't realize that Spain is better, a bunch of southerners making bad decisions, especially some poor Florida girl getting misogynisted at by some guy in Morocco ...
Not even sure, picking up somewhere in the middle from where my gf was watching!
Pretty sure JD Vance couldn't negotiate the sticker price of a 2018 Camry
