I rarely watch videos related to politics, since I'd rather read text, but I watched the Oval Office exchange because so many people have been talking about it.
I think this video will be wildly effective at breaking through with people who don't consume much news. Here's the argument. (And if you agree, circulate!)
Thanks for that tidbit. I believe there are several million Trump voters who held their noses and thought "the libs" were just exaggerating. Today they learned we weren't.
watching european leaders suddenly come out to tweet support for UA too, which means (a) it is resonating internationally (b) they are pretty alarmed. Was a similar dynamic just after J6 of suddenly everyone congratulating Biden's victory that they'd been holding off on
It was the most embarrassing diplomatic incident I've ever seen a US President shit himself through and I'm old enough to remember H. W. Bush puking on the Japanese prime minister.
Yeah, he was badly jetlagged with a case of the flu and was trying to soldier through. Didn't work and was embarrassing for all involved, but everyone knew it was an accident.
When is the Republican party, including speaker Mike johnson, going to realize that Trump is not only destroying the world's view of America, (which I know Republicans do not really care about, as long as they have power)... but in the long run Trump is going to also destroy the Republican party.
I'm desperately trying to avoid listening to the fireworks that went on because I know who I'd side with, and he's the guy who apparently "holds no cards". Absolutely heartbreaking.
Never, never allow yourself to forget that 77 million of our fellow citizens were so devoid of judgment, character and care for our country that they voted for all of this -- and that a similar number were too self-absorbed to vote at all.
CNN is being sooooo dishonest right now. It did not dissolve into “a shouting match”. The truth is: Zelensky politely tried to interject and state his objectives and got screamed at and shouted down by an aging sociopath and his lying sack of an enabler.

I feel ill.
He probably would have found the episode gross, but mostly just regrettable as poor theatre.

I'm sympathizing with HW Bush. My god, I'm old.
Who knows, maybe they'll start paying more attention after that
Europe will remember -- and should.
