That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things: 1. The US is not a trusted ally 2. Zelensky is a hero

remember when neville chamberlain though the czechs were overreacting about the sudetenland?

Weak men who enjoy Elon Musk in the WH dressed like a 90s coke dealer are deeply upset at Zelensky's WH attire.

If you are an American and you are not feeling ashamed — then you have no shame.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

100% Agree. America has too many selfish, ignorant, racist, stupid, bigoted and foolish people to have a lead role in any world order. You’ve got the CON Europe. Don’t mess it up. Start by actually living the ideals you espouse and investing in the military force to protect those values.

This, exactly

Ike asking Churchill why he doesn’t wear a suit before not suggesting that they cower to a maniac.

Putin’s Bitch

The orange felon wanted President Zelenskyy to fold and buckle, he wanted him to capitulate to his bullish threats and lies and then Zelenskyy demolished him as a result. Zelenskyy is a hero and a leader and the orange felon is a criminal. I stand with Ukraine, period.

This “For the United States, Trump and Vance’s behavior once again reduces America’s standing in the rest of the world.” danieldrezner.substack.com/p/five-dispa...

I remember the wonderful days when such displays of unity were led by the United States, not aimed at it.

Hell freezing over. WSJ, centrists, progressives, and Democrats all agree Trump and Vance are kowtowing to Putin, a tyrannical thug, and undermining the US.

Trump wanted to treat Gavin Newsom the same way as Zelensky when he flew out there. But Gavin met him on the tarmac and bodied him. And that was that. Because face to face, man to man, no bros around to back him up, Trump is the biggest coward on earth.

Racism and sexism make people stupid AF.

After World War I, Germany had to fork over billions to cover damages. After World War II, Japan was forced to pay reparations. But with Ukraine, Trump is flipping history upside down by demanding that the invaded, not the invader, pay up. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

What you saw today was the Russian mob acting out of the Oval Office.

What is it with some white men who cannot see a devil when one stares them in the face, because he’s also white? Trump is a Russian asset and has been from day one. How much more proof does one need, FFS!

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.

Elon wants to cut Social Security (called it a ponzi scheme) and have seniors go do the jobs the migrants were doing before Trump had them hauled off by ICE.

I remember when Roosevelt told Churchill he should be nicer to Hitler… oh wait…no. That’s…no. That NEVER happened. Roosevelt was a patriot and not the anti-Christ.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the leaders of Estonia, Finland, Slovenia and Canada. This is how leaders respond.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Nights of BLUE SKIES (sound ) DAY28 FEBRUARY 2025 I am EMBARRASSED to be an American DEAR PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY On behalf of America, we APOLOGIZE TO YOU & all of Ukraine. Your Country did not deserve to be invaded by Russia. What happened today was an ambush led by Putin's lap dog

McFaul: But we keep talking about Trump wants to do a deal to end the war. I'm not so sure that's true. I think he wants to do a deal with Putin. And the Ukraine thing is kind of a sideshow.

Marco Rubio today.

Zelensky didn't provoke Trump to take Russia's side. He was planning this all along. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

AMANPOUR (with face in hands): “Never have I ever ever ever seen anything like it… the president and VP were taking all the Putin talking points.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGolFp-...

"I gotta be honest, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other" - JD Vance in 2022. Explains a lot of today's behavior.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

contrarian.substack.com/p/ben-wikler... @benwikler.bsky.social explains the stakes- Elon wants a referendum on him? Game on

The arc of @danamilbank.bsky.social going from one of the worst pundits to an actual good guy is pretty great.

Great meeting with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers! When our unions are strong, Minnesota is strong.

Notice how on the day Trump promises to release the Epstein files he actually releases Andrew Tate, another sex trafficking rapist.
