Trump just ambushed Zelensky in the Oval. I have never felt more shame as an American. We have sunk beneath contempt. This citizen apologizes 🇺🇸

The SS United States, a 1950s ocean liner, will be sunk to the bottom of the sea, where it will become part of an artificial reef.

Scott Jackson from the University of Florida Sea Grant Extension joins us to talk about the science behind artificial reefs.
Ocean Liner SS United States Will Become An Artificial Reef
The ship will join Florida’s 4,300 artificial reefs—human-made places for fish and other marine life to live. How do these reefs work?

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.

The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?
Seems like why the meeting imploded was more like "Trump is senile and has lost all impulse control and JD Vance is pickled in online fash propaganda" www.semafor.com/article/02/2...
Why the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting imploded
It happened in part because the White House perceived a loss of focus on the reason they were even gathering.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky?

Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them
