shoutout to a few pundits in particular

rjbennett.bsky.social•49 days ago

Mostly the ones who think it's the height of sophistication to act as if they've just exited a coma and have no memory of the last 10 years, so why wouldn't they take the president at his word?

rredmondsart.bsky.social•49 days ago

He’s going to start a war of his own, because it is the clearest path to power.

daver98133.bsky.social•49 days ago

Such as Marc Thiessen. Half tempted to renew to the Washington Post just to cancel my subscription again.

nichdav.bsky.social•49 days ago

Isn't this another example of how small America has become? "do things my way or I'm leaving!"

jacobstrick.bsky.social•49 days ago

tylerwalpole.bsky.social•49 days ago

I like that the headline implies that he’s “giving up” out of boredom or because it’s too hard.

themaltesemama.bsky.social•48 days ago

yes.

rjbennett.bsky.social•49 days ago

Honestly, it's both.

* His attention span is measured in seconds. Of course he's bored
* As far as I can tell the only thing he puts hard work into is cheating.... at golf, his contractors, on his wife and with his taxes

ghostoflittleseb.bsky.social•49 days ago

I mean that’s probably the truth

tylerwalpole.bsky.social•49 days ago

Except for the part where he actually wants a peace deal. I don’t think he cares. Putin certainly doesn’t.

juliefauble.bsky.social•49 days ago

He thought he could just bully Ukraine into giving up. When that didn’t work, he gave up because like all bullies, he’s basically weak and lazy. (This, BTW, is why everyone should stand up to him on everything. He will back down, walk away, and give up if you make it unpleasant.)

sensalvo.bsky.social•49 days ago

Interested in peace for Ukraine? Nah. Interested in being able to say "I brought peace to Ukraine"? Now we're talking.

ghostoflittleseb.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yep. He thought his “superior negotiating” (aka bullying) would work

tylerwalpole.bsky.social•49 days ago

💯! He’ll be Bagdad Bob, saying he delivered peace as yet more missile strikes explode behind him.

charmageddon.bsky.social•49 days ago

He’s really just realized that he’s not making progress on getting Ukraine to sell out in a massively unfavorable “peace” deal, which Russia would promptly disregard, at best they’d be invading again in a decade.

brkirsch.bsky.social•49 days ago

It's ok to name names. Being vague doesn't help anyone.

completelytired.bsky.social•49 days ago

Putin just playing these morons. And they'll flip the blame to EU and sanctions when they couldn't get the deal closed.

porgus.bsky.social•49 days ago

I actually genuinely do think the Kremlin was hoping that Trump would help end the war on favorable terms for Russia. Russia fed their already-weak economy into the wood chipper for this war, they're about to begin drafting kids who fail their exams, and Europe is re-arming against them.

dickiddaveson.bsky.social•49 days ago

Maybe. Doubtful.

Russia's economy seems to depend on war and military industries now. Europe will never buy its oil again; Putin will depend for his continued "legitimacy" on continual wars to fight, and China has every incentive to keep their aggression going.

We want peace. Putin is different.

porgus.bsky.social•49 days ago

That's why Putin wanted a quick operation. Russia's economy is now a war economy and shifting away would be very painful.

dickiddaveson.bsky.social•49 days ago

Put another way: Putin's option of "choosing violence", into perpetuity, is a bad option, from his perspective. Except for all the others.

tommysandesu.bsky.social•49 days ago

So basically:

Our shakedown of Ukraine didn't work so we are going to stop getting in our friend russia's way. They can continue their war and we can stop looking stupid pretending that we don't just see it as another way to grift/steal.

nwgarcia.bsky.social•49 days ago

It's amazing all these pundits have worse political instincts than the average Resist Lib whose only POV is "Orange Man Bad," because he IS bad and too many pundits skirt around just saying that.

al-swearengen.bsky.social•49 days ago

So you criticize “resist libs” for saying “orange man bad”, then say “orange man bad”.

You’re not helping.

nwgarcia.bsky.social•49 days ago

No, I was saying that the average Democratic voter is right about Trump, because they will say what he is, and the pundit class is wrong. I wasn't criticizing them at all. Try reading things with just the slightest amount of charity.

If you've been asleep since early January, Trump said he'd have the war ended before his first day in office. Surprise! Didn't happen. He did however completely back Putin. He has no interest in Ukraine other than to help Putin take it over.

"Peace in Ukraine? Who cares, as long as we can get access to their mineral wealth? We can do a deal with Russia just as well. Maybe better!"

itslisarice.bsky.social•49 days ago

The President completely caved to Russia’s demands and refused to apply any pressure on Putin. He only dealt harshly with one side - Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. How did he think he’d end the war without dealing more firmly with Russia?

ruraltony.bsky.social•49 days ago

So the way I read this-looks like the priority for Trump is the minerals deal not so much peace. “This is not our war” is not what US leadership is supposed to look like and if they walk away Trump can never again bash Biden on this issue-it becomes his political albatross.

That summarizes the mind of basically every single one of this government’s most powerful dumbasses, including the big wet boy himself

The “peace president no new wars” leftists were the dumbest MFers on the planet, especially the Gaza tunnel vision ones

tstaub.bsky.social•49 days ago

The big thing was get headlines for starting the talks, then quietly slink away.

ginntonicftw.bsky.social•49 days ago

But we knew that as most, if not all, voted for Trump.

Rubio is unqualified to be the Secretary of State. He's taken on the persona of #DonTheCon 😡...cruel and vindictive.

Ready to move on from WAR like it’s some sort of school event and not an armed conflict.

mamajkmcc.bsky.social•49 days ago

Peace will not happen with the felon in the mix he's just going to use it as an excuse to leave Nato

eawalton75.bsky.social•49 days ago

The war "ending" was always about giving it to Russia.
That was not a mystery.

d-moore.bsky.social•49 days ago

..& when Russia takes Ukraine, it will not stop there.

davidicouldbewrong.bsky.social•49 days ago

Trump fails again. https://cbwrong.blogspot.com/?m=1

rumpolebayou.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s up there with people who believed Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025

judalicious.bsky.social•49 days ago

He assumed that he could just make Zelensky capitulate. Not all people in the world are as cowardly, cynical, and feckless as US Republicans, Donald.

woskethoughts.bsky.social•49 days ago

Recall the peace in the Middle East promise?

Sighhhh

elsieslp.bsky.social•48 days ago

Rubio always looks ashamed, but he doesn't let that stop him from being an evil jackass.

You get a follow for posting those. My stomach is in knots with these reminders of what we lost.
JFK correctly told us “democracy is not perfect and freedom has its difficulties”.
Rational voters don’t expect perfection, but they should expect integrity and intelligence.
We could’ve had that.

johnignatiusriley.bsky.social•49 days ago

I guess it depends on how easy you think it is to knuckle under Ukrainians. The evidence of the last twenty years or so seems to be not very.

hanoixan13.bsky.social•47 days ago

More WaPo sanewashing. The real lede is that liddle marco's utter ineptitude for world diplomacy and his 34x convicted humiliator #feloniousDFG have removed all doubt that #putinsGOP grift is now the ONLY reliable US objective anywhere, ever.

umbehauer.bsky.social•49 days ago

yep

I really do think that, deep down, many of them realize how stupid they are but are willing to trade their humanity to be shielded from the “other”

Promises made, promises broken.

rockymountviews.bsky.social•49 days ago

This is abuser talk.

This is dismissive of a very real issue and it is coming from a man that holds grudges over minor things for decades.

My ex was always telling me to "get over it" with a dismissive tone.

bigruckus8.bsky.social•49 days ago

Trump has never achieved any peace accord anywhere.

xstarboy.bsky.social•48 days ago

The art of the Deal😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 such a fraud

fdla7.bsky.social•49 days ago

Not one journalist during the campaign dismissed the “24-hour to end the war” blatant lie as preposterous. Who could have seen this coming….everyone

jbatterson7.bsky.social•48 days ago

Great Secretary of State you are little Marco.

ptxr.bsky.social•49 days ago

“I will end the war in a matter of days”
Trump negotiating with Putin:

steveehrstein.bsky.social•49 days ago

To be fair, his promise to be a dictator has been well and fully realized.

jeffrybazooka.bsky.social•49 days ago

We are the dumbest people alive.
I say 'we' because although MAGA are obviously pretty fucking stupid, we allowed MAGA to exist and to flourish.
I'm afraid that we're going to have to toughen up a little bit and turn the other cheek less often.
Allowing Fox News to lie was pretty fucking stupid.

mrwilson007.bsky.social•49 days ago

But what about, “one phone call and it’ll be over”?

rosa724.bsky.social•49 days ago

There are many.

ernieattorneyatlaw.bsky.social•49 days ago

Longest 24 hours in history.

arrohon.bsky.social•49 days ago

So far. Don't forget that today has been extended so Congress doesn't have to authorize tariffs

mikeblaze.bsky.social•48 days ago

Another Trump win to make America great

tommasz.bsky.social•49 days ago

His idea of "peace" is Ukraine gets annexed by Russia.

cherylann.bsky.social•49 days ago

Oh yeah

Art of the Deal!

zazalogik.bsky.social•49 days ago

Like, it`s just gaming for him. He doesn`t need to achieve anything. He doesn`t need to lie or tell the truth. He doesn`t need to bring peace to anywhere or anyone. Basically, Trump is a Zombie.

pedro724.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yup - believing ANYTHING Trumpton n his Robber Barons promised or say now relegates you to the looney bin! AND history will NOT forget!!! 🤣

motstand.bsky.social•49 days ago

But but but Gramma Trump is afwaid of wowd waw twee! Wawd abowd wowd waw twee?!

havlentia.bsky.social•49 days ago

Marco never won any awards for being the smartest guy in any room, including his hotel room.

swojack.bsky.social•49 days ago

His entire "peace plan" just consisted of bullying Zelenskyy into an unconditional surrender followed by Putin letting him have a tiny bit of the rare earth minerals and some personal kickbacks.

The plan died the moment Zelenskyy refused to surrender.

momiekyle.bsky.social•49 days ago

BEYOND disgraceful!

kristenbmorales.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yeah it was so obvious from that embarrassing Oval Office meeting that Trump gives zero shits about Ukraine 😠

myromanempire.bsky.social•49 days ago

contemplative123.bsky.social•49 days ago

The guy has no idea what he's doing, and you have these cowards like Rubio who's just doing what he's told. This is much too complicated for their level of qualification and understanding. This is serious business, not Fox and Friends. They are an embarrassment here and globally. Rubio is finished.

pauline001.bsky.social•49 days ago

I was right, Trump has no balls to stand up to Putin.

jessbheart.bsky.social•49 days ago

People not realizing he literally put Russian operatives into the government directly are still 4 steps behind.. he's gonna help Russia if he helps anyone.. dude is effectively Putin's lap dog.
