I don't know what to think about Orban. The EU hates him; but the EU hates a lot of things I like. The left calls Orban a fascist or nazi or Putin lover, and they can't all be true. Your claims about nationalizing industries, or at least handing control of them to cronies, is the first substantial charges I've heard of against Orban. There have been a lot of angry articles predicting Orban would use every trick in the book, legal or not, to hang on to power, yet he conceded the election within hours. As for Vance, he's just another political gadlfy opportunist, quick to complain of foreigners in American elections, quick to butt in to a foreign election.

I don't like his backing of Putin, but that's about all I know of what he has actually done. As for getting a supermajority and changing the constitution, well, a lot of countries have similar malleable constitutions. The UK right now has a very unpopular party in charge, and they've used their power to reward cronies and raise energy prices and cover up the Pakistani rape gangs; Orban at least prevented that.

I have yet to see anything about Orban which isn't partisan, same as with Trump. Until I see such an article, I discount almost everything I read about him. Just as with Trump, except I live in America and see a lot more about him, especially compared to Orban.

Yet another TDS inspired missive and not a peep about Swalwell and the party that promoted him to prominence, embraces socialism, pushes censorship takes a blind eye to Anti Semitism yet knew he was a slimeball, but championed him anyway. Getting a little boring.

Then why not counter his post with facts and logic? That you resort to TDS and Swalwell shows you have no facts or logic on your side.

If he's so garbage, why fight with your own garbage when reality, as you see it, would be a tastier dish?

Why not sling it back. I've known Alan a long long time and am extremely disappointed at how monotonous his posts have become. He's too brilliant to be so one sided.

Because slinging it back doesn’t enlighten anyone.
