We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good headline. Projection is a favourite rhetorical trope of the fascists.

I watched John Olivers newest episode on Hungary yesterday.

The US and Hungary are doing the same things. The US wants to follow Hungary's example.

Its fucking wild.

Somedays, I think, the US will revolt and overcome this shit show, other times I think, dear speghetti monster, we are destined to suffer.

I hear Hungary has some nice furniture.

That is Sweden

...while he's in Hungary, actively interfering.

also, Vance, the word you're looking for is "kanapé".

Every accusation is a confession.

Does anyone have a more punchable face than vance?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 32 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Arguably, all of Musk's DOGE bros, Musk himself, and Nigel Farage.

Edit: And, of course, Scott Bessent.

Get Boris on that list

Charlie Kirk did, may he rest in turmoil.

Nah, too small to make a good target.

(Edit: for punching, at least)

Vance needs to fuck off. Sofa shagging cunt

[–] earlstilt@feddit.uk 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Bowman, his name is Bowman - he can’t even be honest about that

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

So he is effectively JD Vance nee Bowman.

A gender-affirming name change, perhaps.

Projection, like always. I do like the Guardian headline though, reveals that fact without the need of openly stating it.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 20 hours ago

If you average the faces of Orban and Vance you get the right amount of chin, the right amount of forehead, but way too much cheek material

The fucking gall!

#Add seems I was wrong. very weird, it's same newsoutlet and title. But different story & journalist. my bad

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Same headline, but not the same journalist and not the same story.
IDK why they would post 2 stories with the same headline.

[–] HowRu68@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

That is weird., to say the least. ok my bad, but also very strange .. maybe it was updated idk.

corrected my comment. tnx

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Yes it is weird? I can perfectly understand how one can make that mistake, even as they are now.
