So back to the time when hungary wasn't part of the EU?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Yep. High time to kick them out.

Biggest 🀑 since Trump.

[–] manucode@infosec.pub 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He's been in power for much longer than Trump

[–] Mikufan@ani.social 14 points 2 years ago

Yes but this clown behavior started after it worked with Trump, before he was Just another fascist bastard.

And MiklΓ³s Horthy served as Regent/Dictator from 1920-1944.

Because why not put a submarine commander in charge of Hungary, notable naval power?

The motto of next year's Polish presidency will be Great International Government Association

I so have a slogan for Hungary's next presidency: Hungary's Yuropean Presidency Exults Rednecks

Contact me, Orban! I am committed to licensing this.

What the absolute fuck. How do you look at the MAGA trainwreck and think, that's something we should copy.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Last I checked it's working as intended for Trump

[–] anlumo@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

Trump has captured half of the US legislature and has a huge group of people who are willing to die for him in battle (and have done so when trying to take over the Capitol, only increasing their fervour).

Of course this is something totalitarians strive for.

Has any previous presidency of the Council of the European Union had an official slogan?

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I checked the websites of the recent presidencies, wikipedia has a nice list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_the_Council_of_the_European_Union#List_of_rotations

All of them has a detailed program and a custom logo, some of them just highlight the core points from the program, some of them has slogans, all of the slogans are just big meaningless words:

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure that they usually have slogans, which are more or less mottos of what issues they want to focus on.

But I could be wrong.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Oh for fuck sake. The US is not a good example to follow!

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 15 points 2 years ago

Make Europe Great Again Make It Now Dreamers.

MEGAMIND.

[–] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Again? When exactly was Europe better? When it was in constant war?

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago

Remember, it’s only for six months

[–] tal@lemmy.today 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm thinking maybe a red version of one of these hats with some suitable text to be the official hat of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union:

They also appear, in a post two hours later, to have unveiled the official logo of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union:

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Don't know what to make of that. Rubik's cube? It's a stupid logo

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

goose with a knife in its mouth "What time whas Europe great, and what was it that made it great?"
