T & V ambushed Zelensky. A Russian state-reporter was there. T is mentally ill and old.
Zelensky should apologize for his dispute with Trump and Vance at the White House, says U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “He didn’t need to go there and be hostile. I think he should apologize for wasting our time on a meeting that was bound to end this way.”

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
