Of course. It’s the rest of the pack that is chilling. Cf Meafows. Also, poor Hungary.
As far as I know, most Hungarians are not for this, but, hey, he explained how he got where he is. It's the republicans' dream scenario for this country. Gerrymandering is one of the big ways he took over. Not called gerrymandering there, of course.
I'm on one Hungarian Facebook group, and politics are forbidden, but it slips through occasionally before it gets shut down. Both sides, unfortunately.

I mean, looking at his Wikipedia entry, I'd make two guesses:
Voted to repeal the AUMF against Iraq
Actually played in a Congressional Baseball Game involving Democrats
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban To Speak At CPAC In Texas
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will travel to the U.S. in August to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas, the Daily Caller has learned.
Orban’s appearance comes after CPAC hosted a May conference in Budapest. Orban spoke there about Hungary’s “12-point recipe” for success. Orban is expected to discuss similar themes during his speech in Texas.

DALLAS — CPAC and former President Donald Trump are returning to Dallas this week for the second consecutive year, along with other big-name speakers from the Republican Party.
The Conservative Political Action Conference runs Thursday through Sunday at the Hilton Anatole.
The American Conservative Union has held CPAC every year since 1974. The event has drawn as many as 10,000 attendees and is an important stop for Republican Presidential hopefuls.
Last year’s event in Dallas drew around 4,000 people.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Awake, not woke.” Conservative politicians, activists and commentators from the U.S., and some figures from abroad, will rally their base voters ahead of a midterm election in which their party is expected to make big gains.
CPAC has hosted events in Orlando, Florida, and Dallas since COVID-19 policies barring large gatherings led it to abandon the Washington area.
Hope so on the JFKJ Qtips, they are saying it's any day now. For sure this time!

This propaganda video about T**** is going around again but to me, it's really well done. Democrats need more of this and can learn from it. Downloaded it and sent it along to some DNC folk.

At CPAC today, John Schnatter says Papa Johns had the best pizza out there every year when he was in charge, because he instilled “conservative values” of “truth and God.” But since he was fired as CEO for repeatedly using the N-word, it has gone down hill.

I moonlighted as a delivery for Papa John's once a long time ago. While he was most definitely in charge and prominently featured in training materials, with his old school pics with his muscle car. Anyway, it wasn't about “conservative values” of “truth and God.” It was about "better ingredients." Just as it likely is now. That's their schtick.

Papa John's pizza never has been very good.
And their ingredients, despite their protestations to the contrary, aren't all that either.
Strangely popular though, even in Brooklyn. Make that make sense.

Papa John's opened up in the college town we lived in for many years. They lasted a little less than a year.
This town has three colleges (one a major university), and even lousy pizza was a booming business.
There are multiple links right now to video clips from the conference and you can see them at link above. I suspect by the time it's over, there will be a lot more, and I don't want to post them all here unless someone really, really wants them.
Victor Orban got a standing ovation. They aren't hiding it, folks.

Patriot Mobile is a rash all over RWNJ podcasts and radio shows, FWIW.

Yeah, give him a bologna and processed cheese sandwich on white bread and let's see if he stays in character. Let's see if he can make a pot pipe out of a chicken bone like a real inmate.
The more I learn about this planet, the more improbable it all seems.
UPDATE: CPAC communications reached out to me. They say Fuentes is banned from the property and has not been seen by security. It seems there may be a Fuentes lookalike here. What I can say for sure is that some of the men who protested with him last year are in attendance today.
Will Alex Jones make it?
