Bullying, berating Trump shows his worst self in Zelenskyy ambush
-
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.

yeah, rare earths are a misnomer - they are not rare, they are not highly concentrated in one spot. if the price goes up, exploiting other deposits becomes worthwhile. damn, there is a deposit in Kärnten / Austria that is just not yet profitable to develop; thats an area where mining goes back centuries.

That was harder to watch than Isis beheadings

Pretty much yeah.

I do enjoy the fiddle!

I don't think there are sources as this is more of a slang, but saying "someone is Z" has been synonymous of saying someone is Russia aligned.

Democracy is just one word and a set of ideas connected to it.
Other than democracy there are meekness, dignity, wisdom and rationality, by the way, none of these contradicts any other, and a few even more important - faith and bravery and choice.
So, I see nothing wrong with democracy dying in any kind of public setting when the 7 things I've listed stop being even tolerated.

He doesn't have to be Russian stooge to be evil, and to behave like one too
-
First time i read it I thought it says "Democracy dies on live TV"... not far from it i guess...

Its a political stech in a newspaper, not a link to a video. You can either go to the guardian's front page to see the it or type anything even slightly relatred to it into a search engine to see the video.

Imagine calling a world leader, who's kinda busy leading his nation through a brutal war against his nation, halfway across the planet, just to yell at him on camera like they're on some Fox News shouting-heads hitpiece, for not selling out his country and giving in to the butchers.
Seriously, even for the world's stupidest people, where is the "Okay, wow, you just don't do that, sir." Line?
When does "Defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC." come into play? Seriously, someone please tell me, what do these chodes gotta do to get treated as the terrorists they are?
When do the sworn-in armed forces say "Alright, that's it." and draw down on this gang of heinous criminals and execute them for treason to prevent the world from slipping any further into chaos?
Do we gotta hope for (a successful) Op: Valkyrie 2025??

we had the same "we could use that money for our people!" with Brexit. Guess what? spoiler; the money doesn't go to "the people".

I mean at this point all that'd be left is the IAEA, and the US's nuclear inspectors are probably all fired by now so yeah sure what's stopping them?

Fucking Idiocracy is competence porn at this point, Camacho was an idiot but damn was he actually really competent if you think about the events of the movie.
