That presser was deranged. One of the most jaw dropping displays of incompetence & failed leadership I’ve ever seen. President Zelenskyy’s character and control were exemplary while tЯ☭mp & Hillbilly Vanilli embarrassed themselves beyond just disgrace. It was disgusting. Shame on you USA. Shame.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

When their domestic politics is based solely on being assholes to half the country, we shouldn't be surprised that this intentionally inflammatory approach spills over into their foreign diplomacy. These are neither serious nor nice people.

Meta’s existing policy is that even the most disturbing scenes are permitted. Footage of human “dismemberment” displaying “innards” are fine if given a warning label. So, too, are images and video of “burned or charred” people and “throat slitting.” 😳 🇺🇸 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.
