Viktor Orbán has conceded in a speech to supporters, telling them: “The result of the election is clear and painful.”

I assume by “painful” he means “delightful”.

      Right?

      Are these right wing politicians living in their own bubble or am I? Why would anyone want to be associated with the US administration in general and Vance in particular at this time? Who looks at this and thinks “oh, the venerable vice president of the United States endorses this guy, surely I’ll give him my vote”?

      There have been about 0 good news from the US in the last year. If I were a politician I’d distance myself from that trainwreck so hard

        Canada went through this a year ago. Our Liberal government was sinking under controversies of their own making and the right-wing Conservatives were on track for a big win. Then the Americans started blathering on with their 51st state bullshit and completely wiped out the Conservative lead, and their bootlicking leader lost his own seat in the general election.

          Of course, Milhouse was simply handed a free seat elsewhere in the country so that he can continue to be a smarmy piece of three-word-slogan shit. At least O’Toole knew when he was finished.

            Milhouse is still changing Trump’s nappy, doing media tours with Joe Rogan. Pierre Poilievre represents hard working Americans while over 40 of his MPs are trying to cross the floor to Carney.
