Instead, the Kentucky Republican — who didn’t mention Trump’s name once — said he was taken aback by Republicans supporting Orbán despite his apparent allegiance to Russia, China and Iran.
Guess he hasn't gotten the memo yet that his party prefers Russia.
- He's no Bob Dole. That party died long before his brain did.
Hey, you may not know this, but the massive swing worldwide towards these ultra right governments is because one of our former prime ministers is responsible.
Canada's Stephen Harper was integral in getting orban elected.
Harper operates a group called the IDU. Idu.org
Here's Harper (to the left of orban ~~'s left~~ ) and orban (center).
- Just for reference, the woman to the right of Orbán is the ex-president of Hungary who had to resign for pardoning a guy who was convicted for aiding and abetting the rape of orphans and trying to sweep it under the rug. The pardon was most likely ordered by Orbán's wife and the bishop of Hungary. The bishop still maintains the pardon was fine, despite the fact he doesn't dispute the charges and the conviction.
- FYI "to orbans left" would be to the right in the photo.
Too fucking late you chode.
Is he stuck again?
Not to be mean, but I thought he had a stroke and left politics? Or was I dreaming the second half 💔
- He was reelected in 2020, so unless he resigns, he's there for 2 more years.
  Rand Paul was reelected in 2022, so he's there til at least 2028.
