Trump's comments about the war in Ukraine sounded straight from a Russian propaganda playbook. It's disgusting. The Ukrainian people did not start this war. Vladimir Putin did. The staggering suffering and destruction they have endured is all because of Vladimir Putin.

Get out there and do something. You will be elated with the solidarity of your fellow humans. You be excited by the cacophony of honks from passing motorists. And that entire bus full of people may shout and cheer as they pass.Get out there.
