Trump displayed more sympathy towards Putin in that meeting than he did Ukraine. Then he used Zelensky’s passion and concern for his country against him as an excuse to stop sending aid. Disgusting.

Another mad element of that press conference is that Trump & Vance were ordering Zelensky to thank them personally for aid that Joe Biden had provided. All while insulting Biden & ignoring Zelensky’s frequent previous expressions of gratitude.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

The U.S. pressured Ukraine to withdraw its European-backed U.N. resolution demanding an immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine. But Ukraine refused to pull its draft resolution. So the US voted... with Russia, Iran, Israel & North Korea... against Ukraine. Now read that again.

The government didn’t really spend £8 billion on ‘woke projects’, as you may have heard this week. That figure is the total annual budget for UK Research and Innovation. About £10.4 million was awarded to projects the TaxPayers’ Alliance has called “woke”.
