Hillbilly hypocrite JD Vance possesses the "touch of death."

Where else can this human gumboil be sent before a critical election?

Israel holds Knesset elections on Tuesday 27 October 2026, right before the US midterm elections on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

But Orban's poll numbers are way up with leather couches.

Orban is still alive?

He is lucky that the election is all he is gonna lose.

Shady JD must have washed his hand after killing the Pope.

I was in Hungary in September. People don't like Orban.

People on that side of the Ocean clearly know fascism when they see it, and Trump and Orban together can only mean one thing, more for them, less for the people and their kids.
