Both are far-right autocratic governments who gladly take EUs money, while blaming everything on EU (in Polands case especially Germany). Both block tons of important political decisions. Hungary is arguably a dictatorship with no free media outlets and questionable elections, Poland steers in the same direction. The widespread racism, antisemitism and homophobia are also a given.
Yes, requires all member states to agree. Which sucks as EU would love to get rid of Poland and Hungary right about now.
EDIT: Replaced Romania with Hungary.
No, there’s no mechanism for expulsion, only suspension
While true, suspension is more than likely to lead to self expulsion.
Well it’s never happened so I wouldn’t say it’s likely. And why would they self expel when they continue to have single market access?

€ > pride
Probably you mean Hungary where you said Romania, no?
Yes, thank you.
Why those 2 countries? Genuinely curious. Not in EU and I don’t really know what’s going on there.
