Hungarian Preview of Our Own Midterms -- The world is sick of this s#*t. Orban may have lost due to his own horrible regime, but he finally managed to lose after 16 years when Trump decided he needed to bully not only his country but the world, start war after war, and do his best to eliminate democracy in the United States. Hungary is a preview of what Trump and the spineless Republicans are in for in the midterms. Let's hope we can limit the damage before that time comes. –K.E. Bell

Going Quietly – I’m mildly surprised, though grateful, that Orban is going more quietly than Trump did in 2020/21. Just one more example of DJT’s gift for making nearly anyone look better by comparison. Is Trump privately furious, and contemptuous of Orbán’s “weak loser” concession? Or is he consciously scared by the outcome? – Hugh Hansen

Should Congress pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act? is the topic for Debate & Donuts II, second in our new Talking With, Not At series sponsored by The Hustings and The Allen Theatre & Salamander Bookstore Café in Annville Township, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, April 22.
Proponents say it would assure election integrity by requiring such identification as a driver’s license to vote.
Opponents say the SAVE America Act would severely restrict voting rights and that it is not a stretch to be concerned ICE and border agents will be deployed to guard and possibly restrict access to voting booths in major American cities during the midterms this November 3.
