Very American way to phrase it. The Hungarian President does have a limited legislative veto, but is more or less a figurehead who can be deposed by a legislative supermajority. In fact, Péter Magyar has told him - and Orbán's pet judges and administrators - to GTFO before they're fired.
But it's more than that - a legislative supermajority can literally rewrite Hungary's Constitution. That's the big deal. They can now un-rig the voting system and repeal Orbán's "cardinal laws".
Meanwhile, Orbán's Finance Minister has gone missing while his staff were said to be frantically shredding documents.
Love the picture of Péter Magyar with the cat in the front letting everyone know you don't mess with their man because if you do they will rip your face off.😼😾 Hopefully he will be good for Hungary and not someone who will move further to the right 🤞
How come gets the UK gets to punish powerful pedos, have government healthcare, *and* have politicians who make JD Vance couch-fucking jokes? Why can’t we have nice things too?
Ta, Marcie. I've never seen Diary of a Wimpy Kid, so I appreciate that you posted the clip.
"a veto-proof supermajority"

News on Orban, etc. from Chris

Maybe the ousting of Orban will give US Democrats the balls to stand up to Trump, the GOP, and MAGA.
This is the first good news in a long, long time.

Appropriating symbolic Christian images to serve a fascist propaganda purpose is right out of the Nazi playbook.
“…more time on the couch”
🤣🤣🤣
Savage!
you really think Kid Rock's gonna learn Hungarian and translate all his lyrics?
"Hungarian Bad Ass" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
MAN do I ever not need to see that GIF of that woman tenderly kissing Orban's portrait. I keep wiping it out with AdBlock, but it keeps coming back.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Also? JD Vance? FUCK YOU.
Wonderful music for wonderful news! Tears of joy 😊!
The Hungarian election emphasizes a point we need to keep making:
CONTEST EVERY ELECTION!
If Orban can be beaten on his own ground, then so can some petty GOP Representative in a beet-red Texas House District.
Fox News has gone the first 2 hours of their official "news" time without mentioning this once. How sad and pathetic.
Ha. It means they’re butthurt. GOOD.
It means they haven't settled on the right spin yet. "Orban wins by conceding"
They're waiting for Jesus to tell them what to do.
You have to click the post to see the photo, but...HA!
