You're a foreign official campaigning in a foreign election for one preferred side, JD. Think about it. Take all the time you need.
@georgetakei How many times did Trump complain about Rusiian interference in the last Presidential election?
@alan @georgetakei isn't that why Vance is saying it's ironic though? Everyone does it?
@TTimo @alan @georgetakei Why shouldn't we act like friend of the administration, Vladimir Putin?
@georgetakei more foreign government interference good or bad is meddling with a sovereign country’s democracy
@georgetakei Orbán is Putin’s puppet. So… do the math. Just another recent move by the US that is leading more people in Europe to view the US as part of the axis of evil.

@docdanny @georgetakei

This from journalist Richard Medhurst is definitely worth watching.

The connections Richard exposes to all the wars currently being waged by US either directly or indirectly through proxy states all make sense when viewed as a war on global energy control.

@georgetakei Vance seems to be deficient in irony detection and has no clue about how his words and actions affect other people, which I think is the classic definition of a jerk. The first time I saw him was in a campaign ad where he was trying to buy doughnuts and look like a man of the people and failing at both. It's been all downhill from there.

@georgetakei Victor Orban is know for his Pro-#Putin politics. He blocks descisions within the EU without any sense or logic and holds other countries reliable for the bad results of his mismanagement. In advance of the upcoming election, he started changing the election laws, the layout of the ballots, the procedures of managing the voting offices and who is allowed to vote.

Do you have any kind of a Deja Vu?

@georgetakei How come that every person in the vicinity of DT turn completely stupid?
@georgetakei Breathtakingly unaware of anything...anything at all. I'm trying to imagine what this imbecile will be like as the big tamale when Trump gets the boot.
@georgetakei @Dolphinchaz He’ll try to play the big-tough mob boss, and totally fail at that too!
@georgetakei Taking the Loser Train on a world tour. Not satisfied completely losing locally…
@georgetakei Vance has the self-awareness of a sea cucumber
@Strider_UK
You can get the Billy ot of the hills, but not the hills out of Billy.
@georgetakei
@Strider_UK @georgetakei I beg to differ: totally demeaning to sea cucumber!
@georgetakei Well, JD, if this is how you define “Ironic”, then I really don’t think you’re smart enough to head up a diplomatic mission with the world in a balance.
@georgetakei JD shows the intelligence and self awareness of a clam.

@edsullivan @georgetakei

That's an insult to the clam community.
Vance doesn't even have the self-awareness of an entangled photon.

@georgetakei

It seems, this Vance mission was similar successful like his visit to Greenland or to the Vatican last year. We will see tomorrow when Orban hopefully loses...

@georgetakei good thing is, people are so fed up with this administration's BS that an endorsement from them most likely leads to less voters instead of more
@georgetakei I'm kinda worried about everything that happens in Hungary once Orban loses. I have a feeling that he will not go gentle into that good night.
@georgetakei Vance doesn't have the mental capacity to think of anything that isn't fucking a piece of furniture
@georgetakei "Ironic" in the Alanis Morrisette sense (i.e., not ironic at all), dontcha think?

@cheekqualizer @georgetakei

Came here to say this 🫡

🎵 it's like raaaaaaaain

🎵 on your wedding day

@cheekqualizer @georgetakei It's like RAY-EE-AIN on his wedding day, obviously, duh!
@georgetakei According to The Twilight Zone (the "new" ones from the 80's) this is how you defeat the devil. In that one the guy said, "Get lost," but, "Make a realization that requires introspection," will be as effective.

@georgetakei

The fossil fuel industry is determined to keep their shills in power, even as the planet fries.

Trump’s regime works for the most corrupt industry on the planet.

Koch Network copies the tactics of Putin's puppets, just like Hitler copied Henry Ford's antisemitism & Rockefeller's Standard Oil Jim Crow.

It's an international axis alliance of oil oligarchs.

Kremlin Hotline: Hungary colluded with Russia to delist sanctioned oligarchs, companies and banks - VSquare.org

The hotline between Péter Szijjártó and Sergey Lavrov provided Russia with strategic information on critical EU issues.

@georgetakei Even worse, Vance accused the EU in Brussels of how immoral it was to intervene in politics of another sovereign country.
@georgetakei I don't think Vance is capable of conceiving of himself as a foreigner...
@georgetakei
Didn't you see him saying those famous words… "Ick bin ein Orbaner!"
He's a totally legit domestic voice in this election. No doubt about it.
@georgetakei I feel this is 'couched' in sarcasm...
@georgetakei For the speech of Vance to have any impact in favour of Orban, it would need the voters to think that Vance is wise, intelligent, good-hearted, etc. but I think that very few people with the slightest knowledge think any of these are true.
@georgetakei Conservative Americans never think of themselves as foreigners even when traveling internationally. That is why Canadian airports have to mark their customs lines for non-Canadians as "Americans and foreigners".
@georgetakei JD is one of those Americans that don't quite understand irony.
@georgetakei As nationstates go, russia and the US are adversaries. But at the very top, both are ruled by the very same crime syndicate.
@georgetakei Yeah, sometimes the DARVO doesn't really land like they think it will.
Orban’s Chances of Winning Hungary Election Drop After JD Vance Rally

Orban is one of President Donald Trump's key European political allies.

Newsweek
@benroyce @georgetakei there is a "death knocking-on-doors" meme with JD's face superimposed on it, somewhere. Sadly, not everyone he visits deserves it. Orban's political career does, though.

@gabriel @georgetakei

here's to hoping vance's death touch holds re orban

@benroyce @georgetakei

Btw he also visited the pope (…).

@georgetakei I don't think that the universe has that long time available.
@georgetakei I propose a new synonym for ”gaslighting”: ”JD Vancing”

@georgetakei

JD is such a stupid chud.

Of course he's interfering in Hungary's election for his lil buddy Orban. These chuds are all the same.

@georgetakei

The United States is the boss of the world so he's not interfering he's just bossing.

@georgetakei I would say, look in the mirror but I suspect that he wouldn’t see a reflection anyway. 😒
@georgetakei Another in a long list of reasons to dislike JD: he doesn't understand irony

@georgetakei

they also seem to be promising economic support only if Orban wins.

at least this is out in the open. in the case of Ukraine, the US was involved in an undemocratic change of government under Obama. we think of it as a democratic uprising because we were told to, but they had a democracy. but then it's argued it was actually a corrupt fake democracy. that is said about most democracies when the wrong people win. it had been an imperfect democracy too closely aligned with Russia.

@wjmaggos @georgetakei

I have old friends and colleagues in Ukraine, and according to them, that election was already being influenced heavily by the Russians (probably even more than Russia is trying to influence the election in Hungary), so there is that.

Other than that, I tend to agree with you. Foreign powers should keep their grubby little paws of local elections in other countries.

@madsenandersc @georgetakei

yes I should have mentioned that.

@georgetakei

Hillbilly boy is high as shit. Thiel keeps him sedated for political pliancy.

@georgetakei

.....JD. Think about it....

find the wrong word ;)

@georgetakei his sugar daddy (Peter Thiel) made him do it
@georgetakei As he is an US politician he doesn't consider himself a foreign official. Foreign, that's what all the others are, but not US politicians!

@georgetakei

Of a stunning stupidity in fact…

Incidentally after his visit Orban’s polls went down further.

@georgetakei absolutely zero self awareness that lot
@georgetakei these guys are political herpes. Useless, painful to have around, always show up when you're already down, never really go away.
