In honor of Vance's visit to Hungary, where he will campaign for Viktor Orban, I am reposting my article from last year. I argued that Orban's Hungary is one of the poorest countries, and certainly the most corrupt and least free country, in the entire EU. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

America’s Future Is Hungary
MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

I think Dorris as Captain needs to learn that you don't need to be liked, just respected. Sexton didn't care about being liked, just wanted to win. Winning was everything. Same with Keane.

Fun fact: soccer players on the english national team, like harry Kane, Bellingham and Gallagher use their Irish ancestry & passport to bypass the non-eu player quotas on European teams. I don't remember that on the side of a big red bus.

Ozymandias
Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Just watched the Zelensky v trump & vance. Oh my God, they are disgusting. Europe needs to step up and take over as the leader in the Ukrainian war. America can not be relied on anymore with this embarrassment of a leadership.

Lot of the advice about how to support artists if you can't buy their work talks about things like resharing their work so other people might purchase it or interacting with their posts to help boost them, but ignores the most important thing of all (giving them a little approving kiss)
