Can someone smarter than me explain why Democrats aren’t holding a press conference in front of the demolished East Wing?

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

There's so much bad in this paragraph it's hard to know where to start. FAA is now controlled by Elon Musk. He's awarding himself this contract. That's not what a conflict of interest means. This is simple looting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

NEW: The first front pages of Saturday’s newspapers in the UK.

“Ukraine Hero Ambushed”

“Trump stuns world with vile rant at Zelensky”

“A spectacle to horrify the world”

Trump is obliterating the global reputation of the US.

Zelenskyy: During the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have a nice ocean and don't feel it now, but you will feel it in the future.

Trump: You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're going to feel...You know you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

Actual question from reporter: "Why don't you wear a suit?"

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: "I will wear costume after this war will finish."

Oh my God.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are attacking Zelensky in the Oval Office.

This is a complete fucking embarrassment.
