Orbán is finished. But what about Orbanism?
Magyar needs 133 seats for a constitutional majority to dismantle his system of 'illiberal democracy.' It looks v tight.
Meanwhile, what will Orbán's exit mean for other populists in the region - and beyond?

@RealMNchiefsfan We loved every place we went in Japan. Tokyo, Kyoto, Atami and Hakone were our favorites. I'm obsessed with Japan - DM me and happy so share my notes with you 🙂

@RealMNchiefsfan We really liked the BJ Black hotel in Kookingwitgaso. Seriously though, make sure you stay at least one night in a Ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), preferably one with a private onsen (hot spring bath). Trust me.

DEI Hire / Secretary of Defense said Trump doesn’t back down…
And Iran has had a regime change.
Last I checked,
Trump is called TACO for a reason.
And I don’t believe Iran got the memo about the regime change.
Iran is still blowing the hell out of Israel and US bases in the region.
Not to mention Straight of Hormuz is completely shut down.
Trump’s entire administration is a fucking joke.

@JeffWCarlton @emzanotti I had lunch in Hamburg, Germany next to the Backstreet Boys on the steps of a Burger King that looked just like the Parthenon.

@emzanotti Reminds me of the time my buddy ran into Mick Jagger at the Parthenon

@Ian_Willoughby @expatscz Other ideas: "Ach jo"; "To není normální"; or my personal favorite "Mixgrill!"

Think I need to get this new T-shirt from @expatscz featuring one of the Czechest of Czech words!
BTW I've got an amusing "bohužel" story. See tweets below.

If it turns out to be true that Britain is denying the United States the ability to use British bases against Iran if there is a necessity for an attack - it would be beyond surprising.
I’ve been a military lawyer most of my adult life. What they’re saying about the status of Diego Garcia, the joint US-UK military base, is a huge question.
The bottom line is the largest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet is the weakest it’s been because the people of Iran have risen up by the millions to end their oppression and the United States and Israel have delivered crushing blows to the regime’s military infrastructure.
To my friends in Britain, sitting this one out puts you on the wrong side of history and is yet another example of how much our alliances throughout Europe have degraded.

@SenSusanCollins That's terrible news. And btw, “I’ve pledged that if I’m elected I will only serve two terms. 12 years is long enough to be in public service.” -- Susan Collins, 30 years ago.
