Now I’m curious if I’m mistaken. One member equals one vote right?

538 electoral votes = 100 senators + 435 congressmen + 23rd amendment gives DC three EVs (so, number of congressional members = 538 EVs minus DC's 3)

Just like John McCain and his funeral. They begged me to allow the funeral. Begged I tell you. I didn't want him to have a funeral. I thought they should just throw the body in a ditch on the side of the road. But I allowed the funeral. No thanks from anyone though. Not a single person thanked me for allowing him to have a funeral. So blame the democrats for that."

Otherwise passable Trumpese, but imo Trump would never use that specific phrasing.

The measures announced by Viktor Orban during his “state of the nation” speech are meant to encourage women to have more children and reverse Hungary’s population decline.

The benefits include a lifetime personal income-tax exemption for women who give birth and raise at least four children; a subsidy of 2.5 million forints ($8,825) toward the purchase a seven-seat vehicle for families with three or more children; and a low-interest loan of 10 million forints ($35,300) for women under age 40 who are marrying for the first time.

Orban, who has made “zero tolerance” for immigration his main theme in the past four years and was elected to a third consecutive term in April, said the initiative is meant to “ensure the survival of the Hungarian nation.”

“This is the Hungarians’ answer, not immigration,” Orban said.

White House officials, anti-abortion activists attend "Make Families Great Again" event hosted by Hungary's embassy

Quote:

...White House special assistant Katy Talento, White House strategic communications director Mercedes Schlapp and several members of Congress, who on March 14 attended an invitation-only conference — “Make Families Great Again” — hosted by the Embassy of Hungary at the Library of Congress in Washington.

U.S. Health and Human Services senior adviser Valerie Huber, known for her support of abstinence-only education, was a keynote speaker at the event to promote Orban’s seven-point “Family Protection Action Plan,” designed to promote marriage and families and spawn a baby boom.

Also present were prominent antiabortion leaders, including Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and representatives from the Heritage Foundation’s DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society.

Of Perkins and Talento, Novák tweeted: “They praised HU’s commitment for strengthening #families and encouraged me to further support them.” She also shared praise from Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.), whom she quoted as saying, “#Hungary is a beacon of hope. Thank you to PM #Orban that he is a friend of families.”

At some point, maybe a couple years ago, I said the expectation would obviously be for a random person to be a better POTUS than Trump and I swear one or more not Trumpy or Republican posters here disagreed.

It's not unexpected. Mussolini supported Hitler and they both supported Franco. The nationalists/fascists have an affinity for one another as long as it's Germans for Germany, Italians for Italy and Spanish for Spain and no international power.

We should start a GoFundMe for a Fox News reporter to actually give him a tough interview. Maybe if it got up to like $10M they'd do it, get fired and collect.

Spoiler:

But I'd just love to see the mother****er stroll in there expecting another series of softballs and instead get grilled and embarrassed, one time.

We've seen how he reacts to that, it would be fun to see what he would do if he couldn't decide he needed to sit down and pretend to read papers though.
