68. Congrats to Hungarian citizens
Sun Apr 12, 2026, 05:22 PM
5 hrs ago

The shackles have been broken, finally.

Now the real work begins to repair the Hungarian government, expel the Orban sycophants threaded throughout all institutions and return to a truly democratic form of governance. Sixteen years of rotten leadership has no doubt left a lot of damage. Not unlike what Trump and his Flying Monkey Brigade have attempted to put on speed dial in the US.

But the first step in Hungary has been accomplished. Kudos!
