    And y’all still think Trump is in charge? Do you think that senile old man wrote that post? He’s on a tight leash this time, they’ve learned to control him. FFS, does that read like a Trump post?!

      He already stood up to him when he wouldn’t sign off on the biden bullshit during the 2020 campaign even though he was basically blackmailed.

        Did you notice how Trump said he “knew Putin was going to invade when Biden pulled out of Afghanistan” in the cabinet meeting? I found it very interesting, considering he personally set the pull out date before leaving office.

    Guh. They spin harder than a goddamned pulsar. Zelenskyy had incredible restraint to sit through this meeting, what a total waste of his valuable time.

    The EU and the world needs to lift one big middle-finger to this administration and support Ukraine in any way possible. The US needs to be shut out in the cold, NOW. Kick them out of NATO. Put Ukraine in their place. EU, throw out the bloody procedural bullshit and just DO IT NOW. Start building tanks and planes and drones and ammo NOW, because the world will need it to stop Russia without the US’s help. After Ukraine, it’ll be Moldova, then all the other small neighbouring nations, then …

      Don’t forget the part about how China has been planning for an isolationist America to push its own territorial ambitions. This is not going to be merely hell in the Baltics, a world war is taking shape as the long peace crumbles.

          Peaceful enough that apparently people in industrial nations forgot how bad war really is if they elect war mongers like Trump as leaders.

          It’s a term people have used to describe the state of affairs since the last hot war between major powers.

    Every time I see him speak or write, I wonder why they don’t have IQ tests for being president.

      Because pseudo-science has no place deciding who gets to participate in their country’s politics.

        They actually think that having money proves that rich people are smart. Had a dumb ass tell me a couple years ago that Musk must be smart, because he wouldn’t be so rich if he wasn’t a genius.

      Put a clown in the white house and he won’t become a president but the white house a circus.

    If I cherish a space, I ensure that there are no shit stains in it.

    Maybe my standards are unreasonably high, though.
