Zelenskyy should have stood up, told Trump he wasn't going to be chastised and verbally abused in front of the media and then walked out. Europe still seems committed to supporting Ukraine. Let it continue to be a war of attrition. Russia is bleeding out at least as fast as Ukraine. But I think Zelenskyy will win more support from the American public by spitting in Trump's face rather than knuckling under to an arrogant dumbshit.
JD "The Poser" Vance is (next to Donald Trump) one of the most disrespectful (and disrespected) politicians in American history. Fuck that sycophant.
Zelenskyy has not knuckled under to anyone. He no doubt could spit in Trump's ugly face but he is being the adult and behaving with some degree of dignity. And yes, bringing his case before the American people.
The only way Vance gets to be president is if Trump bites it before the 2028 election. Vance is a rude and toxic asshole but he's no Trump and the MAGAt base knows it. Trump won't even endorse him and keeps him on a short leash. Once Trump is gone his base is headless. He has made sure that he has no heir apparent because of his own insecurities. He doesn't trust anyone enough. Even Musk is going to find that one out the hard way. Vance is barely clinging to Trump's coattails.
I sincerely hope you are right. And I hope we have enough rights left that we can recover when that happens.
Putin is smiling right now I can tell you that fuck Trump, I can’t wait till our military starts the coup since our congress is also compromised
Ehh... Isn't he firing anybody who isn't on board with what he's doing? Including military leadership?
Vance's disgusting smirk. Lindsey Graham already kissing Trump's ass over kicking out Zelenskyy. Funny how somethings stick with you for years, even decades. I was a young UC Berkeley student when I heard a talk about Stalin that included a lot about Stalin Hitler pact. The speaker was old enough so that he remembered the event contemporaneously. He described Ribbentrop and Molotov toasting one another. His comment that I have never forgotten, "their faces were the ugliest I have ever seen". I have now seen it.
I think you're probably right. But that person is going to have to have a different platform than corporate Democrats have had. That has turned away too many people and that is why so many of them stay home and or support populist candidates.
Not sure why. Trump already said it will will be up to Putin to offer concessions and stop the war. It's just an assets grab with Ukraine getting nothing in return. Zelensky better read that contract carefully before signing it.
Trump probably think if we are mining in Ukraine and that Putin will stop. Just guess. You know he cutting Putin in on something.
