Bullying, berating Trump shows his worst self in Zelenskyy ambush
-
Fuck off Ivan

Yup. And when Russia invaded Ukraine, everyone called him a Russian puppet because of course America would never!
-
OTOH, it's possible he's consciously splitting with the US in hopes of getting the EU with him. Long term, could be smart.

That sucks and permabans really shouldn't be a thing except in extreme causes of threatening to like harm/dox some one and stuff like that. Not seeing where you did anything to get banned at all, but especially not permabanned.
If Lemmy just ends up being another reddit that's going to suck so bad.

I would say they are more like ringwraiths - twisted shadows of men bound to a larger evil, Putin.

Ah cheers, misread that!
-
And his most heroic act was not punching the old fart in the teeth
-
If the Europe had any sense of self respect the US embassies would be closing everywhere right now just like the russian ones.
-
Perfect response, enjoy your fall of Rome era.

So true.
The democrats would rather have trump than Bernie.

Think it was this video:
Looks like the comments are slightly more sane now than they were when I first saw it, which is good.
-
I imagine it would be quite cathartic

Snotlings

Yeah, could be some kind of 300 IQ move but, it didn't feel like it was planned. It felt like he was just acting emotionally.

I’m glad we get to see this shameful display. I wouldn’t talk lto a dog like that, much less the democratically elected leader of another sovereign nation that’s an ally. The US used to be a beacon of freedom and diplomacy, but clearly we shouldn’t expect that from the current regime.
Europe will keep supporting Ukraine regardless, but it really is in the US’ interests to stay involved in this conflict. It’s disconcerting that Trump can’t seem to grasp that basic fact.

Not sure if you fully comprehended what I said.
- I said Zelenskyj is in the right. He is fully in the right to question Vance with valid questions. But I'm also saying that if you want to negotiate with monsters, you might not want to embarrass and anger them in front of their own people, live on TV.

️ Feels like politics 101.
- I'm not American... Not even on the same continent.
Nice assumption.

To sum up:
Both are rich and well-connected by virtue of being nepo babies, but:
- BoJo is intelligent, well educated but lazy
- Trump is dumb, poorly educated, lazy, has narcissism and/or BPD and now dementia.
-
Let them perish from their own eugenics program!

I've heard shows like Madam Secretary and The West Wing be considered, akin to Star Trek, "competence porn."
The idea, the fantasy, that the people making the critical decisions that affect so many people are consulting experts, weighing heavy costs, consulting the law, and are kept up at night because they care so deeply for making the best call they can so they don't let down all those who depend on them. These characters have been role models for leadership for generations at this point.
And here we are, in a complete fever dream of a failed state: With a convicted felon and failed reality show TV personality, his foreign billionaire handler, and a weak spineless, loud little dweeb we all forgot was even vice... burning the last vestiges of peace and goodwill all around themselves, handing us and our allies over in a competition with other fascists to be the world's worst enemies, screaming at world leaders, destroying the environment out of spite, and heck, shilling beans from the oval office. Because why not.
Who's close enough to this to do something about it? Where are the competent ones who will regain control of the bridge from these terrorists? Yeah, where's our "G20 president"?
Well, I just remembered, we need to support people like Governor Janet Mills of Maine , and empower anyone any everyone who will stand up against this bullying.
