We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.

Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

Iran closed the Strait.
So Trump is blockading it.
From the outside.
We are now blockading a strait we are demanding Iran open. You cannot make this up.

Polls have closed in Hungary. A record 77.8% turnout.

No exit polls, but shouldn’t be long till the actual results roll in.

Orban is cooked. Hungarians are still lining up to vote in many places. Participation is high; let’s hope it’s a good sign for the opposition leader Magyar.

US to start doing the thing that the other side are already doing, and that they couldn’t stop them from doing, no matter how much they bluffed, threatened or begged others to help with.

The stench of desperation and failure is overwhelming.

If Orban loses and tries to claim fraud and engage Russian trolls, etc., we could be seeing the dress rehearsal for November here…

Solidarity with the people of Hungary right now and all those around the world who want nothing more than freedom and democracy.

This era of corrupt autocratic hateful strongmen must come to an end.

It’s up to us to end it.

TRUMP: “I told my people, ‘I want everything. I don’t want 90%. I don’t want 95% I want everything.’”

Congratulations, loser.

You got NOTHING. 0%!

Well done, Mr. Best Negotiator in the World

Most of the modern fascist movement was built off of the playbook that Viktor Orbon wrote in Hungary. That's why American conservatives are expending so much capital to keep him in power.

A ‘boarding pass’ to Moscow. That is how some young citizens greeted Viktor Orbán at the polling station today—on a day marked by record turnout that bodes well.

I don't want to hear that Magyar were Putin's slave.
This is what he said about Russia on April 8:

"Let me welcome the Russian propaganda here. Thanks for coming and enjoy the freedom here in Hungary, and the regime change as well."
Crowd: "Russians, f*ck off!"
Magyar "So this is Hungary".

🔥 I took a couple of days to compile this long analysis.

The elections in Hungary tomorrow are seismic, globally. So I cover:

- The rise of Orbán
- Orbán’s weakening
- The emergence of Péter Magyar
- The election battle
- The JD Vance visit
- What it all means for Hungary, the EU, Putin & Trump

The arrogance of Vance and the administration. Not, “we couldn’t reach a deal,” but rather “they chose not to accept our terms.” The obvious mindset of the US does what it wants and all other countries, not to mention the Pope, fall into line or face the consequences.

Israel vs Turkiye (the social media edition)

Netanyahu: "Under my leadership, Israel will continue to fight against Iran's terrorist regime and its proxies, in contrast to Erdogan who aids them and even slaughters his Kurdish citizens."
