Summary

Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.

His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.

Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.

While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.

      What kind of place takes pride in its absurdly high illiteracy rates, and seemingly does everything possible to maintain them?

      (I’m guessing a racist one)

        White people either weren’t given this test, or were given a passing grade regardless of what they did.

      Why wouldn’t someone not want you to pass? Makes no sense

        Because they’re racist and you’re black.

        That’s it, that’s the real, whole reason. This test was actually used, back in 1964 in Louisiana. This is how black people were disenfranchised.

        The test was given to uneducated people, and they had to pass it to be allowed to vote.
        The test was worded ambiguously on purpose, so the people grading it could decide who gets to pass.
        The people grading it were election officials in Louisiana.

        You can guess what skin color they had, and what skin color the people who usually “failed” the test had.
