$100 per active duty military member doesn’t do a whole lot.

Somehow, much of this money will end up in Trump’s pocket.

“… Viktor Orban, the country's longest-serving prime minister, sees his 15-year-long rule challenged by an upstart — Peter Magyar. And the rallies that took place in Budapest on a national holiday commemorating Hungary's 1956 anti-Soviet uprising shed some light on the divide between the two camps.
"We don't want to die for Ukraine," read a banner carried by supporters of Orban, who has cast his Fidesz party as a "force of peace" — in contrast to EU "warmongers" sending arms to Ukraine.
… In turn, those who joined Magyar's rally chanted"Russians go home!" drawing on the legacy of the 1956 rebellion crushed by Soviet tanks.
Magyar blasted the prime minister as a man who went from an anti-Soviet activist in his youth to "the Kremlin's most loyal ally."…”
Hungary’s election race begins with rival rallies and growing political rift
So what do the two camps stand for?

I'll believe that Orban has lost when he is actually out of office. Until then I suspect that he'll do whatever it takes to remain in power, including simply rigging the election or just refusing to leave if he somehow does lose. Given his near-total control of Hungary's news media, military, and government it's hard to imagine him being forced out if he's not willing to go voluntarily. Even if he loses the election somehow he could always just have his opponent arrested or killed and stage a coup to stay in power.

Trump calling anyone else a "Crooked Moron" is so ironic/hypcritical that it demands the creation a new word.

Wonder how much Trump’s promise to provide financial relief and trade perks only if Milei wins has influenced voters.

Honestly, at this point, I wish he would have won in 2020, so he would be gone and the recovery would have already started. Plus he would have been salted with the inflation.
