  1. I was also furiously hungry once and summoned two pizzas to my door

  2. >In a statement, a spokesperson for the US embassy in Budapest said: “We can confirm that Ambassador Pressman was ‘summoned’ for an ‘urgent’ meeting by the ministry of foreign affairs this morning with respect to statements made by the president of the United States about Hungary. Ambassador Pressman always welcomes the opportunity to discuss the state of Hungary’s democracy with our ally.”

    🔥🔥🔥

  3. So the Hungarian prime minister went to the US, without meeting anyone from the sitting administration? Somewhat strange is it not? I would have assumed courtesy dictated there should be some formal in-person contact at this level. Orban is not some common tourist

  4. Who is this faux outrage supposed to impress?
    everyone knows the nature of Orban and the Fidesz party.

  5. Lil’ Orban pissed off everybody in EU-rope and NATO, he’s crawling to the only westener that is still friendly with him. And the plays the victim when he is rightfully called dicktator. “Dick tater gonna dick tate” as I say 😀

  6. In Ukrainian we have a phrase: truth is poking the eyes(правда очі коле)

    But if you behave like a dictatorship, look like a dictatorship, invite Chinese spies to ‘help with law and order’ in the country and silence protests, why would you be surprised when you called what you are?

  7. “*Tut-tut*” is the only correct response to this kind of pathetic toddler tantrum.

  8. Well, now that Sweden is finally a NATO member everyone can freely call out Hungary or for what it is!

  9. Why is it furious Hungary when it’s the same foreign minister since 12 years, whose base reaction to any and all criticism is a full verbal barrage against the “offending” party. Name Peter Szijjarto by his fucking name and don’t mix us in this. Since 12 years our foreign policy is dictated by Orbans ego and moods. The EU is only officially acknowledging us as an electoral autocracy for what…2 years already …
    You ignore a toddler when it throws a tantrum and this is the exact treatment they should be receiving

  10. Well… stop being a dictatorship then. See, not so hard, right?

  11. Large parts of the EU is already calling him one along with Erdogan.

  12. Junker, half drunk, slapping Orban after calling him a dictator, is one of my favorite political moments.

  13. Furious Orban, Not the Hungarian people overall, I presume. Or is the title true ?

  14. It‘s simple, don’t be a dictator and you won’t be called one

  15. What happen when biden win again? Like so short sighted.

  16. Hungary – now that a REAL country was added to NATO, it’s time we had a talk……..

  17. Then don’t be a dictator, if you don’t want people to call you that.

  18. I mean, Orban’s dictatorial ass went to CPAC to support the same crap in the US. He is lucky he is not sanctioned.

  19. How dare you call me what I am? The nerve of Joe Biden. – Viktor Orbán, probably

  20. It’s easy. Don’t want people to call you a dictator, don’t be a dictator.

  21. Maybe Hungary should put sanctions on the U.S. government, that will teach them!!!1!

  22. Maybe stop being a dictatorship if you don’t wanna be called one

  23. Let me be the ambassador to Hungary. Please. I was designed for this. My great grandparents even (smartly) fled Budapest.

  24. A better title would be “Furious dictator summons US envoy over Biden’s ‘dictatorship’ comment.” There’s really no need to include the innocent civilians in this petty vendetta of a small man.

  25. Seriously? I thought it was common knowledge/established fact that Orban would prefer a dictatorship and is taking steps to lay the groundwork for just that. Hungary is a diminutive *pisher* in world affairs and Orban is a *pisher* who clearly resents that status. It makes total sense that he’d glom onto deranged sociopaths like trump, putin, sentient liver spot Steve Bannon and, uh, most worrying of all in a sense… ex-Canadian PM Stephen Harper.

  26. Orbán: *dismantles democracy, builds autocracy, is more and more shameless about being an autocrat, keeping close company with other autocrats and would-be autocrats*

    Biden: Orbán doesn’t believe in democracy

    Orbán’s No.1 puppet and likely Russian agent: H-H-H-H-OW D-DARE YOU!!11!1!1 THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!11!! I JUST CAN’T WHARGARBLWHARGARB

    This is like when they get all hysterical about other countries “interfering in Hungarian internal affairs”, while the Orbán regime is absolutely shameless about interfering in other countries’ internal affairs, including the USA.

  27. Biden has a point here. The US Envoy should be admonishing Hungary and put them in their place.
