My respect for Zelensky just went through the roof.

Holy Shit. I just saw the actual Oval Office press conference. It all boils down to Trump thinking he should be adulated regardless of literally anything. The topic is actually meaningless.

We should be shedding tears of regret that this inhuman won the election. The help of crazy donors and enemies doesn't matter now. The worst of times is inexorably here.

Bonus 1: We all saw it, if Trump stabbed Ukraine in the back in a closed door negotiating session lots wouldn't believe it. Everyone saw it.

Bonus 2: We've now a good idea of the dynamic leading to Trump 1st impeachment: Trump blackmailed Ukraine for political favors.

Trump and his fascist flunkies thought they were setting a trap for Zelenskyy. Instead they trapped themselves. Trump can no longer hide his betrayal of Ukraine nor his acceptance of Putin's lead. He's really burning his bridges with the American public.

I predict we will see the green shirt a lot less in 2025.

“The entire ordeal was a coming-out party for Trump’s arrival in a club he has long sought to join, a world order where might is right. Armed with an excuse to cut Ukraine off even further, Trump takes one step closer to joining the world’s autocrats.”

Bragging about what a tough guy he could be.

I’m waiting to see U.S. troops on the ground fighting alongside North Korean soldiers.

Trump's and Vance's behavior was disgraceful and disturbing.

From a brief report I expected to see Zelenskyy get angry or storm off, when I saw it I saw bullying, gas lighting and the insideous you haven't said thank you repeated as they talked over him. They wanted to control him, beat him down. He looked downcast at times

Zelensky, the only adult in that room. Thank you for not taking the bait, sir.

Don't blame Trump. Blame every single person who voted for him. They are accountable for this.

annthegolfnut.bsky.social•121 days ago

I’m still going to blame trump. But there’s enough blame to go around for the other 66 million idiots who voted for him and the 16 million who thought they’d sit it out.
