What a horrible day for our country and Ukraine 🇺🇦 😭

I didn't think Zelensky should have met with these tyrants in the first place. You can't deal with the devil. There is no difference between our tyrant and the Russian tyrant, they are literally the bosses of their own mobs and Vice tyrant is a snot. Europe is going to have to get it together because we are going to be of no help at this point. I'm glad the tyrant was happy that it was viewed on tv and so was I, for different reasons. Back to our country, are we headed to a civil war? It's all up to the Supreme Court, if they start bending the laws look out!!!

At least we know the truth. And so does Zelenskyy. I can imagine him going back to the Embassy today and saying "well, at least I didn't have to sign that damn mineral deal that was being shoved in front of me." That "WTF?" look on his face at the Oval Office was proof this was no accident, not a speck of it was real. The whole even was carefully staged with the Maybelline Mini-Me acting as the honey pot to launch a premeditated assault against Ukraine's President.

This film clip will be shown again and again on Russian TV1 as evidence that America has "abandoned" Zelensky --- don't think for a second Donald Trump wasn't aware of that, too. As Nancy Pelosi once said to his face: "all roads with you lead to Putin." Whether pee-pee tapes, honey pots, Agent Krasnov, money, hotels, something else or all of the above, America elected a Russian agent --- twice. Today we saw the Manchurian Cantaloupe cosplay "outrage" in a way that could only have benefited Russia.

I bet Putin is not happy either

I honestly thought that DonOld was going to stroke on tv

That would have been a welcome site

Not really sure who the FFOTUS thinks that he is

He was off the wall

Kept talking about Hunter Biden?

What did Hunter Biden have to do with any of this

Hunter Biden hiding some papers or something in his bathroom, bedroom?

Of course that is what DonOld did. Sounds like continuing to do

Yelling Zelenskyy is going to start WW3

He sounded like a baby who want getting his way

Anyhow isn’t Zelenskyy his peer

Where do he and JD get off sounding so superior

Please

Get rid of these people permanently

So glad Zelenskyy didn’t sign anything Bullies

Wish he would have shown up

But Zelenskyy did show the world he is a leader and the other ones are fools

And the childish childish disrespectful comment about the suit!!!

It's hard to keep up with the insanity - but this was all about revenge. Trump tried to withhold support for the Ukraine as he tried to blackmail Zelenskyy to investigate Hunter Biden many years back to give Trump dirt on the Biden family. Zelensky refused, and so Trump wants revenge. He will never do anything to help Zelensky and that's where all that nonsense came from about Hunter. I'm so embarassed to be an American.

Expand full comment

Good point. Maybe that's why Trump went on about Hunter Biden's laptop. So many irrelevant meanders, though. It must be awful to hold a state meeting with Trump--listening to him brag about his audience size, blathering about how bad Biden/Obama/Hillary are. Yuk.

I just want to add that many DO THINK this was a set up and even in the UK. THE YouTube channel LBC host grom there, said it was like the Jerry Springer show, and the BBC reporter Simon Marks told him he also thought it was a set up, adding that TASS, the Russian news agency was there in the room, but NOT the AP nor Reuters, and by TASS being there was a gift to Russia as what happened will be BLASTED BY TASS all over saying look how weak Zelensky is. He also added that he hoped the bootlicking by the PM and Crown that was done the day before, inviting Trump to visit will be squashed.

I am still reeling at what was witnessed like all of you.

Russia will be happy about Trump, as they said, lashing Zelensky. But ultimately, Zelensky looks the "bigger man" for standing up for his country. He tried to stomach as much as he could, obviously. I think it took real courage to walk away from this "deal" given their desperate straits, but Trump screws everyone he does deals with, and Trump was giving him virtually nothing in return for selling away Ukraine's valuable mineral rights. Public humiliation is the price Trump always demands. I'm glad Zelensky, as the president of his country and the representative of the proud Ukrainian people, didn't pay it.

Yes, Charles should grow another pair, just as he did with China years ago when he was Prince of Wales, and rescind the invitation. Very publicly. Although I did giggle from a report, before this s***show today, that he had actually invited Trump to Balmoral. Which Trump would absolutely hate.

Thank you for this post!

To me, the piece that guarantees it was a setup is that the media was present, along with others who were just there to stir up trouble (ie. the stupid suit comment). Usually when countries are in serious, sensitive negotiations it's done in private, followed by a press conference afterward. They arranged this on purpose so they could bully Zelenskyy and make him look weak. But it backfired on them and Zelenskyy is the one who came out looking strong, and honest, and like a real president. The orange menace and his sidekick picked a fight, thinking they could humiliate Zelenskyy, but they only ended up looking like insane bullies of the president of an allied country who was fighting for the life of his country and the lives of his people.

I have to agree with you. It was a set up to begin with. That is why Vance was there. It’s hard to make your point when two belligerent people engage in the MAGA over-talking strategy. But Zelenskyy held on well.

And Russian tv (TASS) was there, but not AP or Reuters and the rapid publication of press releases by the White House and social media posts by Trump, along with coordinated, similar messaging from MAGA officials.

And the Russians were there just for this purpose.

I agree with that. Maybe he realized it was necessary to be seen and heard on live TV in order for the world to see just what this country has put in the White House. For 9 years I've argued with people who believe Donald Trump has a soul and conscience and is not a sociopath. They never convinced me of that but Ivr always wished I could convince them of the reality of who and what he really is. This hideous situation might be what's necessary in order to spark outrage and wake people up.

Even the devil has more class than Trump and Vance put together. The devil's also more useful than those two morons. Today was a big mistake. Huge. MAGA can cheer on all they want but I have a feeling this is the beginning of the end for Trump. I have a feeling the tide's about to change and things are going to start going downhill real fast for Donald Trump.

He had no choice. He knew he was being set up before the conference started. But he still had no choice.

Adam – Have you and Liz Cheney considered starting a new conservative party? The G.O.P. is dead; it is now the MAGA party. But there must be former Republicans in the House, Senate and elsewhere who have had enough, who know the threat Putin poses and support NATO, who believe in their Oath of Office, who are faithful to our Constitution and not afraid of being primaried or attacked.

Consider starting the Lincoln Party with the bald eagle as your symbol. 🦅

Recruit conservatives, especially people like Dick Cheney, George W Bush, Mitt Romney, etc. Make it your mission to get a minimum of five Republican members of the House and five Republican members of the Senate to join the Lincoln Party by 14 March. Have them caucus with the Democrats and flip the House and Senate as MAGA shuts down the government.

Put an end to the Musk/Trump reign of terror.

Sincerely,

A retired O-5

Great idea. I think eventually the new party needs to get on the correct side of climate change and the environment.

Princess Diana won the heart of her country because she was the “People’s princess.” She did good works for all. We need a “People’s party,” one that is open to everyone, not just the old white boys like Cheney, Bush, and Romney. We need a party that aspires to modernize the federal government in a rational way, while balancing the budget and works with governors to meet the individual needs of each state. And we should follow the Danish example of immigration, which is quite tough, and consult with them regarding social services and taxation so we can better understand why their system of government works so well.

We can do so much more for the citizens of this country while still being fiscally responsible. But we have to understand, unlike JD Vance, that we are not the best at everything, and we can certainly learn a lot of lessons from nations that are far older than we are.

Totally agree, Rebecca - I think that’s the way to go - be clear about goals (which many many Americans want) - People’s Party is great name - with soc media much easier today to raise funding for true focused attention - fast - before 14 March is great idea - work with who’s in office and fed up and focus on NOW - this can’t wait

Well said. Danes have a proud history of resistance and bravery, which is meticulously documented in their Resistance Museum. See also: the Jewish Museum, detailing the long history of Danes welcoming Jews dating back to the 17th century. From general strikes during the Occupation to the heroic smuggling of 99.9% of Danish Jews to safety in neutral Sweden, we could learn a lot from this plucky, sane, and beautiful little country. And...their Prime Minister kicks ass! I'm proud of my Danish heritage. I kinda wish I had dual citizenship. Long live hygge and the Dannebrog🇩🇰❣️

You have great taste in men;-) This fall, I was on a Citzen Diplomacy trip with a Seattle-based NGO called Peace Trees Vietnam and we had a Danish student along as an intern. He is studying the long-term effects of war and hopes for a career in international relations, promoting peace and stability. A lovely, thoughtful young man. His girlfriend is also in the same field. Denmark definitely punches above its weight in so many areas and I know Acksel will make his country proud.

Denmark has a high taxation rate since it is a socialist country. A lot of Americans would not appreciate using Denmark as a model because of that high taxation.

Steven, I too am appalled and totally disgusted by the absolutely disgraceful behavior from Trump and Vance this afternoon. I’m so glad that my father, who enlisted in the Navy during WWII, is no longer here to see the demise of our democracy that he willing volunteered to defend. I wish there was some way to let Zelenskyy know that a majority of the US want to help Ukraine, and that Trump and Vance only represent the MAGA minority.
