Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

I’m properly annoyed by #CelebrityHunted. The hunters apparently use “the power of the state” and yet they don’t seem to know that bugging people’s houses isn’t legal without permissions at the highest level. You can’t just slip one into someone’s house on the fly. That’s cheating.
