I can't get these individuals to answer my e-mails. Why are they scared?

When the next Trump impeachment becomes a likelihood in Congress--and it might happen sooner than we expect--the existence of J.D. Vance may well be the strongest argument against following through.

Cowards. Also unemployed cowards in two years, if we can keep our democracy that long.

New Republican Plan: The best thing we can do right now is hide from our constituents.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Trump apparently thinks that if he enables his role model, Putin, to conquer and rule the Eastern hemisphere, Putin will allow him to conquer and rule the West. But whatever "deal" he thinks they struck, he doesn't grasp how stupid he is compared to Putin, even if they are equally cunning and evil.

Alabama!

Deliberate sabotage. Trump is a weakling and a fool.

It's not mediation and it's not diplomacy. It is deliberate sabotage by Putin's pathetic American puppets.

The looming economic collapse is the point? Thanks for giving us this, Trump voters. And thanks to all who failed to vote or who voted third party. Best of luck.

The Reich has stopped pretending altogether. We should stop pretending too. This is a Schoolhouse Rock example of fascism.

“I challenge JD Vance to go to Ukraine and get a briefing from the Ukrainian military and talk to the Ukrainian people. Then tell me what you think.” ~Lindsey Graham, April 2024 thehill.com/homenews/sen...

NEW: Keir Starmer tells House of Commons that “Britain will lead from the front” on Ukraine. “Russia is a menace in our waters and skies…In this House, we stand by Ukraine because it is the right thing to do.” Unlike Trump, Starmer is showing how to support the right side in this war.

Yup!

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

THIS would have been great television.

I’m not trying to beat anyone over the head, but I’m not feeling a real sense of urgency from most elected Democrats and that’s problematic. They didn’t start the fire, but the fact remains that the country is on fire.

Exactly correct.

This is exactly what a frightened abused wife would send to her family about her abusive husbands actions at thanksgiving, because he’s checking her phone It’s sick and sad

"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 about his behavior: Mehdi Hasan. ⬇️ ⬇️

Brutal.

Putin's lackey is a pathetic little weakling.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

I miss Joe Biden. His successor is a disgraceful embarrassment and a dangerous fool. He pretends to be a smart, tough guy, but is obviously a weak, ignorant, incompetent buffoon. He always has been, and Vance is no better. Now all Americans will suffer the tragic consequences of their unfitness.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Trump’s loyalty is to Russia. It couldn’t be more clear.
