Do they, though? Or are they just willing to overlook his vileness in the belief he’ll get them what they want?
Which makes the most fundamental connection that of the shared selfishness of Trump and his supporters.
It’s also blatant favouritism — of the state that’s the avowed enemy of America, Europe, and Ukraine.
Have you noticed that “Trump is a lunatic” is now pretty widely accepted worldwide.
Trump: “If I'm president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours.”

“Witkoff, who has been to Moscow eight times, met Vladimir Putin on many occasions. Neither he nor Kushner, however, has ever visited Kyiv in an official capacity.”
“I can’t see the war ending until Putin dies or leaves office.
Putin is so obsessed with the idea of subjugating Ukraine. For him, in his warped, insane mind, it’s a rerun of World War II.”
“but rather the desire to improve your country, even if that means pointing out the faults of leaders. When you pointed this out to her, she said, ‘That’s the cleverest thing I’ve ever heard’.” 3/3
“There’s a memorable exchange you have with an educated, fluent English speaker who had lived for some time in the West. She’d never stopped to consider that Putin is merely a temporary representative of the Russian state or that true patriotism does not equal blind loyalty to the leader, 2/3
“The strength of Russian propaganda is that, while not everyone is fooled all of the time, it is so ubiquitous that it is still capable of poisoning people’s minds and crippling their capacity for rational thought.” 1/
Tell that to the civil rights activists of the 1960s.
To the Iranians who died in their 10s of 1000s in January.
To the pre-revolutionary French in 1789.
This is just one of a handful of excuses I hear again & again.
Fact is, most Americans aren’t taking any responsibility for effecting change.
Good lord.
Kyiv blogger created her own take on the iconic character Carrie Bradshaw from the hit TV show Sex and the City.
I miss the days when I woke up and had no idea what the President of the United States was doing or saying.
That’s where my mind went too.
This is precisely why rule of law is so critical. Start to erode it, and the entire structure falls.
“Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned a US decision to extend the period during which Russia is allowed to sell oil despite Western sanctions.
In his remarks on Sunday, Zelensky said ‘every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war’ in Ukraine.”
The orange lunatic’s pardons are blatantly corrupt: the whole world sees it. Surely that’s enough to have them legally challenged.
Drawing of two frogs in a pot of boiling water on a hob. A hand is turning up the heat. One of the frogs is floating, tongue out, dead. The other is leaning back, hands behind its head, saying, “We just need to win the midterms.”

You’re just waiting for Batman, he ain’t coming. Pathetic
Georgians 🇬🇪 have been protesting continuously for more than 500 days.
Exactly. In Georgia 🇬🇪 , they’ve been continuously protesting for more than 500 days. Throughout Georgian winters.
False. I’m one of billions of people worldwide waiting for Americans to take responsibility for the lunatic they’ve unleashed on the world.
I’m not a troll. Americans’ failure to take responsibility for getting rid of the lunatic they put in the White House is causing us significant economic harm worldwide, and threatening global security.
Why don’t you stop assuming everyone is American?
“Uprising with arms” would utterly destroy the USA.
And wouldn’t you at least try ongoing nationwide peaceful protest first?
“The European Union will run simulations of its mutual-assistance mechanism in case of attack, a clause in the bloc’s governing treaty that has become more relevant amid strains in NATO.”
