The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?
