No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

submitted 3 days ago • 645 comments

Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy just now was appalling.

submitted 3 days ago • 166 comments

This is appalling to watch, but what never seems to be said enough is that Putin gambled on invading Ukraine in part because of Trump It was crystal clear to the Kremlin that Trump would do this.

Trump says Ukraine must hold new elections if it wants a seat at the negotiating table. Odd how Trump is not demanding Russia hold a democratic election for long-time dictator Putin to have a seat at the negotiating table.

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth. There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions. We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing. One might even call it "Fake history".

Susan Collins has officially unclutched—that’s right, unclutched—her pearls as to maybe the most dangerous nomination in American history. Former arch-conservative Trump AG Barr said Kash Patel even being considered by Trump for the FBI meant Trump was “divorced from reality.” Collins? Not so much.
