The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

I read this on the "chaos n' corruption" site. I appreciate you shared this in its entirety here. Much gratitude for articulating so clearly what many of us think and feel. 🙏
I am so ashamed that this performance fraud is president (lower case 'p' because it isn't deserved). Terrible performance by both tDump and his lackey for the one man audience of Putin. May these two rot in Hell.. asap!
Trump disgraced that office in his 1st term. It was refreshing to see that Biden was able to bring back its integrity. It's not the occupant that makes it special. It's all of us, the American people holding what it represents. And we will keep holding onto that until a legitimate occupant returns.
Dear people, Trump doesn't care about decorum, tradition, diplomacy, niceties, or respect of others. The pearl clutching every time he breaks a norm, or shows us who is should not surprise us. We need brass knuckles on now. 1/2
Angry please take a time and give this some attention. He has facts and figures not propaganda. If he's right and we don't fix it for our next elections nothing we do will help.PLEASE https://youtu.be/AWSWqn7UHYM?si=Kw-tlNEGhP6p5xTP
Oh it was shattered when he sat at the desk in the Oval Office trying to sell his “ I’m glad I listened to trump” hats! He is a buffoon making money off the backs of Americans.
Given that and how many bugs will be planted, I suggest that once y'all get rid of the pests, it may be cheaper and more cathartic to just re-enact the burning down and build new from the ground up.
Oh, we knew he was a piece of shit. This was always the plan. The man had four years to sit around, cry Cheeto-dust-covered tears, and plot his revenge like a washed-up cartoon villain with too much time and not enough brain cells.
"russia" invaded the US decades ago with psychological warfare. What they've done to this country takes way longer than that. They've been working on the former US since Khrushchev.
That sounds so easy. We have proof of crimes already. The problem is, he hasn't made the other side mad enough(yet). MAGA's love for him is still strong.(Even in the mitary) They have been wanting a civil war and then they can play with their guns. It has to become an even worse shut-show then maybe
What began as a diplomatic meeting devolved into a televised shouting match, with Trump and Vance berating Zelenskyy in a manner more akin to a personal grudge than statecraft.
The raw hostility—Trump accusing Zelenskyy of “gambling with World War III” and Vance demanding gratitude like a schoolteacher scolding a student—stripped away any veneer of professionalism and resulted in a petty, theatrical confrontation. Which, to be fair, was probably the intention.
The public nature of the meltdown amplifies the embarrassment. Unlike past Oval Office tensions—like Nixon’s private rants or Clinton’s discreet scandals—this clash unfolded live before cameras, capturing every raised voice and pointed finger.
The world watched as Trump interrupted Zelenskyy’s attempts to discuss Russia’s broken agreements, dismissing him with, “You’ve done a lot of talking,” and Vance chimed in with, “Have you said thank you once?”
I tried counting the words Zelenskyi could get through vs the ugly vomit of T & JD. I gave up on realising that they were shamelessly & intentionally trying to bully Zelenskyi.
The optics were disastrous: a U.S. administration humiliating an ally fighting for survival, all while the Ukrainian ambassador sat with her head in her hands.
This wasn’t a leaked transcript or a hushed rumor; it was a global spectacle, branding the U.S. as impulsive and unstatesmanlike.
Historically, Oval Office embarrassments—like Reagan’s “bombing Russia” quip or Bush’s awkward Merkel shoulder rub—pale in comparison. Those were gaffes, fleeting and unintentional. This was deliberate and sustained, a tag-team assault on a guest that undermined America’s moral authority.
It was the first act. Entirely scripted following up Trump calling Zelinski a dictator and claiming he started the war. Next act: walking away from NATO
Again with the blatant, hypocritical projection from the ignorant, blowhard bully who never shuts up and the sidekick who can’t and won’t begin to grasp what Zelenskyy have done on behalf of our country, allies and aspiring democracies.
I would argue that Donald’s appeasement of Russia is a bigger gamble with WWIII. Right now it’s contained in Ukraine and not spreading further, but encourage and support Putin and he may invade a NATO country and then 💥.
He got putin mixed up with Zelensky. It's Putin dangling WWIII if he can't take what he wants. An extremely personality- disordered sociopath and his dysfunctional sidekick are occupying the WH. Incapable of behaving appropriately.
The entire world sees what what dealing with now. An arrogant ignoramus and an immature moron. I hope they realize that we were mortified by their behavior.
It was totally a grudge match. Besides the obvious Russian connection this was about getting back at Zelensky because he wouldn't play ball with the quid pro quo Hunter Biden bullshit. And their feelings are hurt because he palled around with Kamala and not them. These clowns are petulant toddlers.
The Orange Scourge and whatever-his-name-is this-week can’t spell, define or attempt statecraft. None of the gang/crime family could ever be remotely that evolved.
It was a televised ambush of our ally.
Despicable.
Deplorable.
Delusional.

Our military has to step up and remove the Russian assets from the WH.
How much U.S. intelligence, have they handed over to Putin?
The moment he contemplated if selling his soul was worth it. That man knows everything and he is struggling. Faces caught like this on camera don’t lie.
Retaliation for T1.0 being impeached because he wanted dirt on Biden from Zelenskyy, so 🍊💩🤡 decided to retaliate but showed how unfit he is to be a world leader & human being.
Yes - there is quite a lot of American mystique that is basically in the toilet now. Millions outside America will stop buying American goods, stop visiting the country, and stop considering Americans in their decision making. And all this is self-inflicted - for no reason other than stupidity…..
Trump and Vance looked like school yard bullies. They bring shame on all Americans.
Never forget the spineless Congressional Republicans who have betrayed their oath of office in service of Putin's Puppets
GOP=Gaggle Of Putin-lickspittles.
This weeks assignment: BLOW UP WHITE HOUSE & REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP PHONES TO CONDEMN TRUMP / VANCE TREATMENT OF ZELENSKY: 🇺🇦❤️. If you have Republican reps, contact them also!
This only weakens America bc our allies dont trust us now. Trump is on his revenge tour, destroying the gov that held him accountable, and will leave US in ashes when he checks out.
T & V sought to very publicly humiliate Zelensky iattempting to put their foot on his neck to make him look small, weak, beg for help. Bitch, please - that man didnt cower to Putin and he sure as hell isnt going to cower to Captain Bonespurs, Fat Donnie, & the guy who wants to fuck his couch!

More emphasis needs to be placed on Laurence O'Donnell's take that the felon has abdicated the President's traditional role as leader of the free world.
America first is Americans who aren’t independently wealthy are last and an America alone. They are playing it as a win. I am so embarrassed. What a terrible precedent and shameful.
Best thing about this is trump bared his ass on national TV for the world stage for all to see. Now everyone can see the truth and stop declining to say the truth out loud!A Russian asset and Princess Vance attempted to bully our ally while supporting a psychopathic dictator Putin. Wake up America!
Putting all the power in one person or one office is a mistake. Random selection and rule by the people is the way to go. Also all this led to Air Force One which is a bad bad film. In a true democracy, that film wouldn't exist.
Basically Putin has his agents Trump, Musk, and Vance in the White House doing his bidding despite the political support for Ukraine even among Republican voters.
Yes, smashed to smithereens. As disgusting and disturbing as it was to watch that verbal assault, it was also a stark reminder of what treasonous pieces of shit Trump and Vance are. Now the world knows.
@angrystaffer.bsky.social Has the cyber command really stopped taking action against dummy’s handlers? Are they really putting together a list of everything they do for these traitors?
Angry if you have any connection to a winnable red district you need to run for Congress. And I realize how big of an ask that is, but the country needs people like you in positions to make a difference.
The meeting came off as the US is a country who kicks people while they’re down. The worst part is that they were proud of themselves for doing this. History will remember this. So will karma.
Yep it was gangster thuggery, a disgusting performance that will be used as how NOT to negotiate, Trump is a disaster as a negotiator, no wonder he's a bankrupt
I think it's time to acknowledge the reality that the Federal level of government is lost. The way to salvage something is for blue states (and/or red states with a shred of integrity) to begin decoupling from and defunding the nascent totalitarian new federal system before it gets fully entrenched
If you've ever wondered what the phrase "conduct unbecoming" means, the behavior of trump and Vance toward President Zelensky is a perfect example. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
"If Donald Trump gets his knife into the back of Ukraine it's the United States who will bleed out and we'll bury more of our children than we'll be able to count."
There are not going to be enough Secret Service agents to protect him.From Iran to Gaza to Lebanon to Egypt to Afghanistan to Canada to Mexico to all "the shithole countries in Africa" to deported family members in the US & toss in the Cartels for good measure. Mr Big Shot golfing= bad for him.
President Zelenskyy should agree to wear a suit to the White House if Donald Trump agrees not to wear Estée Lauder Goddess Bronzer and JD Vance not to wear MAC Brushstroke 24-Hour Eyeliner……So disrespectful.

When Putin arrives at our door, will he tell us to do the same?
At least more people became aware of the illegitimacy of the coup occupying our government.
He's what they WANTED.
They don't give a damn about ANY of that.
Trump was put in the White House by Putin in 2016, and now Putin is back in control of the White House.
This wasn’t a leaked transcript or a hushed rumor; it was a global spectacle, branding the U.S. as impulsive and unstatesmanlike.
Bar room bullies on a world stage
Kinda like an orchestrated WWF performance.
Putins'ka suka!
Vance was just being a sanctimonious and rude little bitch.
Despicable.

Imagine if it had just been a private meeting?
But this way the whole world got to see Trump, Vance, and Rubio's disgusting behavior along with Zelensky's valor.

I'll continue not celebrating the 4th of July, or attending any parades and not hanging a flag outside my house
That's what we all witnessed: a televised mobster shakedown sesh.

Well, Trump is building his wall. Unfortunately we’re all paying for it.
