It's my understanding the current administration was humiliated by its betters today, an observation that will be evergreen for the next three years, ten months

Sadly, the Administration is too dumb or too egotistical to realize they were humiliated, and half the country as well as most of the world already knew this.
Oh. We are way past that now. 1/3 our country was perfectly fine with letting their grandma‘s die off during the pandemic. And think that a trust fund junkie and an apartheid fascist gutting their Social Security is awesome.
Ohh we got smeared back in 2016 when we elected him the first time. Then a lot of people in 2024 decided we were not filthy enough from the first roll in the manure and elected him again.
Bullies love it when their chosen victims grovel and beg for crumbs...and President Zelenskyy refused. He was the only one with grace and class in that room full of vicious thugs.
He controlled the narrative perfectly. This will unite the EU and other countries behind him in the days ahead. It's already started. They will step out of our shadow and take control of their common European destiny. He forced Trump to show his hand, and they insulted him for it.
The EU has no cohesive mechanism to apply force. Until the EU forms a separate military alliance that actually has teeth what the EU does is almost entirely irrelevant outside of the economic sphere.
Zelenskyy visited the WH to discuss TFG's attempted extortion of Ukraine's minerals. The WH staff dissed Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit (ignoring Muskrat's t-shirt and ball cap). VZ fired back.
After 3 years of war, they should've known better than to ask Zelenskyy to take a public humiliation press conference in which he thanks them for their betrayal and rapine opportunism on live television.
The whole “say thank you” crap from Vance was pathetic. Trying to be a bully and then be thanked for it. He’s learning well from Trump. I know he can’t , but I wanted Zelenskyy to tell them both to shove it up their butts.
Every ally of the US just got a reality check. He will be remembered in the history books for this. The beginning of the end of the US hegemony. Whate use your aircraft carrier fleets without bases.
Please don’t perpetuate the “this will be over in 4 years” narrative… for one… you cannot afford to wait 4 years. Second, they will never concede defeat
That was a previous president so it does not count. Trump even ignores things he did his first presidency and calls them bad IE USMCA trade deal with Mexico and Canada. Trumps word is only as good as the money you just paid him.
Crazy respect to Zelensky for walking into a predictably horrible situation to try to get what Ukraine needed. The head of the current administration would never do that for the US.
Nah, some of Trump supporters are hard core Ukraine supporters that were gullible enough to believe Trump would help Ukraine. Some Trump supporters will turn against him because this is a physical display of what he usually does through executive orders and it is repugnant.
Besides, fuck all the
risk assessment and visuals talk. That ignores the humility Zelensky showed by making the trip, which speaks to his authenticity and desire to save Ukraine.

This land belongs to Indigenous moms and the people that want to argue about that are going to have to go through everyone else
And he still has to make it home without being poisoned or his jet shot down. Which I know is absolutely on the table with fascists.
The man should never have gambled so boldly.
Now they can claim he was grifting the U.S.
He absolutely should’ve never gone. It was a terrible strategic mistake.
You should never presume they need justification or an excuse to lie. It's all they do.
Knowing full well that Trump would be terrified of stepping foot there.
Sorry that Zelensky was just a fool.
You think it'll end when Trump's term does.
So, swings and roundabouts.
But Trumpism is the bigger threat and will outlive him.
And the chances of them trying to off him are obscenely high.
It was not worth the predictable optics. Trump is going to use it as cuddle to claim Zelensky disrespected the U.S.
Just a dumb move.
Besides, fuck all the
