Bullying, berating Trump shows his worst self in Zelenskyy ambush
-
Nazi lives don't matter

Man, you just can't stop thinking about sucking dicks, huh. Lol

Zelenskyy was only interested in allowing the US to take their 'rare earth' if the US was also going to guarantee that it would help their defense against Russia's advancements.
Trump claimed the deal had already been made, and tried to make the conference about how great he is and how bad the previous presidents were.
He praised questions that verbally sucked him off, and belittled those who asked genuine questions about the deal.
Then the two Americans bombarded Zelenskyy with questions and refused to allow him to answer.
They talked over him and got upset at him for not sucking their cocks the whole conference.The world does not respect Trump or the US. We laugh at their incompetence and look forward to their ego getting checked.
This whole press conference made the US look like half-assed war profiteers, rather than the 'freedom fighters' they like to roleplay as.

Definitely give The West Wing a chance. It’s warm and fuzzy, which we can all use a bit more these days.
I really liked Space Force! That was a fun show; I was sad it got cancelled.

Yeah yeah, just go pay rent and shut up

Is that your go-to response? That's all you've got going for you? What a pathetic nazi life you live. A closeted dude proud he got morgage on a nails-and-two-by-four, that topples over with the slightest hint of wind. So american
Everybody hates you here. You don't matter.
-
All I got going for me? Lol owning a house, a car, having a wife and kids. Everybody loves your type here. But away from the screen, you don’t matter

That's what irritates me so much. We kinda expect politicians to give non-answers, half-truth, and doublespeak, but these people are something far worse than that, even, with straight up lies just made up on the spot.
It's a big game of chicken where everyone knows he's just made up of lies, but they're too afraid to call them out on it, but for anybody brave enough, simply pressing them with "What's your source? What the heck are you talking about?" Would embarrass them in front of billions of people (more than they already do themselves), and probably invite harsh retaliation that would further destabilize world geopolitics.

A car!? Holy shit you really made it in life LMAO
-
Name a single language that Trump speaks well.
-
You're in a lemmy.world instance, brown lives are acceptable sacrifices to them.
-
It doesnt matter who's right, there's a thing called decorum and controling your emotions. Trump got mad, and made a fool of himself.
Vance was only there to cause this.
-
He's there because he is a willing toady and not a threat to Trump. No one would be willing to follow him.

Owning two less than 5 year old cars is pretty impressive

Hey thanks for the reply. I know this is an emotionally charged topic, so I appreciate the civility.
I have read a few books, but I would absolutely consider myself a novice on this topic. There is a deep history in that part of the world that I'm sure I will never fully appreciate. I think I am better understanding your point of view, but I still can't wrap my head around it completely. If you'll indulge me, let's table all of the personalities. Forget about Trump, Putin, Zelenskyy, etc. Forget about exactly what words were used during that disastrous press conference and the various followup interviews.
How do we push back at Russia without further risking nuclear holocaust? From what I understand, it sounds like Ukrainian membership into NATO has always been a pipe dream and a complete non-starter. If the USA, Europe, or others put boots on the ground, surely that would spark a dramatic increase in hostilities from Russia.
To your point, I absolutely agree that Russia has reneged on various deals in the past and should not be trusted. I would imagine the only thing that we can trust Russia to do is to act in their own best interest...and honestly, I would say this about any country/corporation/person.
I would think Russia will only walk away from this war when they are able to point at something that looks like victory. So how do they get that while also ensuring the safety and stability of Ukraine? What is the path to peace if not economic entanglements?
Maybe I am being a bit naive about how the world works, but I would hope that if a private US or European company was in a particular region of Ukraine performing mining, logistics, or construction; maybe Russia would think twice before bombing or attempting to take the region over. No?

If supporting genocide is a prerequisite of participating in this system I'll just not participate. I'm only one person and I need to be able to live with myself at the end of the day.

Holy shit man -
Finally a fucking accurate headline. All of this "argument between zelensky and trump" horseshit was so immediate and widespread. Trump couldn't even handle his own unjustified attack. They needed vance to to start with verbal diarrhea and buzz words so dementia donny dipshit had things to free associate with. They ganged up and bullied to try to force him to break, and he held.

Insofar as any gerrymandered election has been "free and fair" in my lifetime, yes, I do.
(Sidebar: I'm pretty concerned about some of the proposed legislation requiring birth certificate matching for names because of the potential to disenfranchise both trans people and married women, but I hope there's enough pushback that it doesn't go anywhere.)
President Grandpa's puppeteers are only successful because they've manipulated a washed-up reality TV star with name recognition who is more concerned with ratings than with government. Without his inexplicable cachet with the electorate, they could never get their agenda pushed through, and they know it.
The man is not all-powerful. He's also old and out of shape. A lot of things could happen before the next election cycle that may end his party's political reign. There's no clear successor whom the masses of Trumpist cult members will follow. Vance? Don Jr.? I don't think either has the charisma or reputation to take the reins.
