The Russians ate Witkoff’s lunch bc he has no idea what he’s doing and then leaked their plan which was translated directly from Russian as the US “official” plan, yet again underlining (as if it was necessary) the fact that the administration is a clown car inside a dumpster fire. 🤷‍♂️
Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

Not gonna lie, the “Vance-Dmitriev plan” sounds a lot like Molotov-Ribbentrop
‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump has approved a 28-point peace plan aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, - NBC News

The proposal was developed by top administration figures — including Witkoff, JD Vance, Rubio and Kushner — in discussions with Dmitriev, though Ukraine was not involved in shaping it.

As Ukraine marks Holodomor Remembrance Day, mourning millions of victims of Stalin's genocidal famine, it feels as though the Trump administration is happy to give Putin another chance to finish off what Stalin started. Europe should do everything in its power to help Ukraine & defeat Russia.

Perhaps the most galling part (to me, anyway) about this atrocious proposed Ukraine deal is that Lil Marco certainly knows how bad it is, and yet he stays silent and goes along to get along, presumably so he can salvage what remains of his tattered political career, if not his dignity.

Good. Z can’t accept this Munich-style agreement. I’m sorry that my country has chosen to turn its back on an important ally. It’s shameful that we would even propose it. 😢 Слава Украïнi! 🇺🇦

Yes this is fine, just the US Ambassador inviting a REAL ACTUAL GENUINE TRAITOR TO THE US into the embassy while POTUS calls all his political adversaries traitors, yep all good, happy Thursday
Ambassador Mike Huckabee, President Trump’s envoy to Israel, met at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem in July with Jonathan Pollard, an American who spent 30 years in prison for spying for Israel, Pollard said. The unusual meeting appeared to be a sharp break with years of precedent for U.S. diplomats.

Okay so the Senate passed it and it's on the way to 1600 Penn.

I still feel like there's a Lucy-pulls-the-football-away moment coming, I just don't know what it's going to look like.

It all seemed too easy.
Is there any doubt that the Senate will find a way to derail, dilute, or otherwise fuck with the Epstein files bill to appease the Dear Leader? He cant/wont sign it.

Under any previous administration, this would have been scandalous to the point of bringing down the government. But today, it’s just another day that ends in Y. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.
