Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Wow, this is all from Orban losing. Noice.

What Magyar Is Actually Doing

He’s pulling the financial floor out from under the whole operation. Halleluiah!

No more MCC dividends from Russian oil. No more $1.7 billion in state assets propping up an international influence network. No more Hungarian taxpayer money in CPAC’s pocket. No more money to the Heritage Foundation. No more shredded documents.

Magyar’s win deprives Putin of his main EU ally and is sending shockwaves through Western right-wing circles. Remove the money, remove the platform, remove the proof-of-concept and what exactly is Heritage selling again? A big fat nothing-burger.

I'm still honestly shocked that Orban just kind of ceded without a fight. No challenging results? No hard or soft coup? He's been in power for decades and was clearly one sick and corrupt fuck... So to abdicate power like that... It just doesn't track with me.

There’s more to the story for sure but we won’t get the details until the wars die down and people start talking.

[–] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

My concern now is Bulgaria's new leader is going to just replace Orban as the EU asshole who will push to block Ukraine support and will instead suck Putin's dick like Oban did.

God, wouldn't that be nice.

Probably not that easy though.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 1 day ago

Nope, but it sure is a good start

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 30 points 23 hours ago

I'll believe it when I see it.

Fucking hell I wanna see it.

Hopefully the end of that road in Nuremberg trials

Any democrat president if that happens should clarify them as a terrorist group denied of due process.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can’t just deny due process because 1; that sets legal precedence, and 2: it opens it up to people claiming wrong doing. There’s a literal mountain of evidence of their crimes, you’ve got to bring it all out publicly like they did in the Nuremberg Trials.

Precedent set. Onlu way ti tear it down is quench it in the fires fron which it was forged.

If you believe we should have power but not use it on nazis who edplicitly want us dead, how the fuck wre you not functionally their ally?bwcause its damn sure being used on the left. Whose side are you on shitlib?

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Did you type this with your feet?

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Hey, I understand the anger and frustration, but maybe sober up a tad before posting again.

Sorry best we can do is "I'm-going-to-sit-on-my-hands-until-it's-too-late Merrick Garland"

Oops, he waited 3 1/2 years to start and the Reich wing judges delayed until the next election again.

... I hate that man.
