Orban, Hungary’s leader, was praised by then-President Trump and the ambassador he sent to Budapest.

On Ukraine and NATO-related issues, Orban has been pro-Russia and a rogue among Eastern European countries, except for Belorussia.

Ambassador Pressman a seasoned professional who is gay, was appointed to Budapest by President Biden. Pressman has received death threats purportedly because he is gay. PSHAW!

Orban has been focused on anti-American bloviating for years. He had a bromance with Trump that now has ended.

As a former Foreign Service Officer, I am proud that Ambassador Pressman is representing the United States in Budapest.

Thanks for bringing up Orban and his work to take over Hungary. I have brought this topic up on a local, slightly whacko forum in an attempt to show folks how a democracy can be dissolved through “legal” channels. (These folks must have slept through history class that presented Hitler’s rise). What support for Orban offered by these folks? Tucker Carlson likes him….

Is the bromance over, just biding their time….

Jeri Three marriages and multiple affairs. Who can predict what’s ahead for a blubbery white whale stuffed with cheeseburgers and Coke, with ketchup on the walls? Could the latest bloviating be the wail of a dying whale?

Janet I liked the alliteration of 'wail of a dying whale.' Where's Ahab when you need him?
