Sen. Vance (Sept 2024) said. "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."
Seems it's his default position. Some call it lying.

Here's one who isn't pretending (courtesy ABC news):
Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked reporters, "How should I react to this?"
"What can I say?" he mused with a wry smile.
"If it's possible to deal with dictators this way, then the US knows what to do next."

Maggie - I agree with you, but feel it's more than a shame. It's sickening and disgraceful.
It appears to be a concerted, deliberate tactic. I just don't know to what end.

You can throw in more funding, create new laws & establish as many taskforces as you like to tackle antisemitism, but until Israel stops slaughtering innocent Palestinian men, women & children, and stops stealing land, the underlying problem will always remain.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

Every other leader in the world should denounce Trump's latest vulgar disrespect of the dignity of leadership.
My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.
