CPAC is going to Budapest. Mike Pence was just in Budapest talking about his hopes for the Supreme Court outlawing abortion. Tucker Carlson embraced Orban and his anti Semitic fascist state on Fox prime time. Why are they all going to Hungary? What magnetic force is drawing

It was during the carnival of 1913 that a young Stalin arrived in Vienna on a mission that would launch him into the upper echelon of Russian revolutionaries, and it was here that he first collided with Trotsky. It was in Vienna that the failed artist Adolf Hitler kept daubing watercolors and spouting tirades at fellow drifters in a flophouse. Here Archduke Franz Ferdinand had a troubled audience with Emperor Franz Joseph-and soon the bullet that killed the Archduke would set off the Great War that would kill ten million more.

I would help pay for McTurtle's plane fare if he will stay and not come back. I'm sure they will feel right at home there.
Maybe Hungary is a hub for world-wide right-wing propaganda and hacking via the internet, with Putin's help.
