    Canadian satire to the rescue! https://www.thebeaverton.com/2025/03/zelensky-pretty-sure-disgraceful-meeting-could-have-been-disgraceful-email/

    Zelensky suggested that a hypothetically efficient email could have read: “Dear Volodymyr, we are pulling all US military support for Ukraine because our administration has been personally bribed by Russian President Putin, and because Trump still wants revenge for the time you refused to open a sham investigation into Joe Biden and he got himself impeached. The End.”

    “See how succinct that could’ve been?” Zelenskyy added.

    It’s really pretty ridiculous how the American media acts like a character with amnesia from a fucking soap opera.

      America is incapable of confronting its problems because doing so would require acknowledging those problems, which would go against decades of indoctrination in the idea that the USA is the Greatest Country in the World.

      Nah just a stroke that leaves him drooling and slurring his words but still insistent on not letting go of the office. Make it a constitutional crisis and let the MAGAts tear each other apart taking sides.

        I really don’t care at this point. Trump needs to disappear. Vance has nowhere near the kind of control Trump does.

        From an idealogy standpoint you’re right but from a practical legislative point Vance can’t get anything done. He is wildly unpopular in Ohio, think Ted Cruz like. He was a money pick for Trump. He would not be able to lead the party and instead of it just being the house that can’t function the whole government would be infighting and ineptitude. The power vacuum would most likely be a death sentence for the GOP agenda.

          these people are up to weird and scary stuff. Vance is even for them a tool, but they’d love him in the white house. look up Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel. they are not fucking around and it isn’t just some D.C. politics.

            I’m fully aware of who is pulling the strings. I’m just saying Vance cannot lead and that lack of leadership is the only benefit from a Vance presidency. Say what you want about trump but he does know how to get a frenzy going and use it to his advantage

        I think Vance would be so unpopular that he would get ousted one way or another. The guy has less charisma than an old boot.

          Wide birth? They literally gave the sitting president full immunity to any and all law. He could have shot trump in the face on live TV and pissed on his dying form while asking for ice cream.

          And now trump can do those things. Biden did not abuse the ruling since he clearly did not agree with it, but also (in Democrat tradition) did nothing about one of, if not the most dangerous supreme court rulings to ever happen in the us. The sitting president is now king in all but name.

            I reading more about kings and the kind of power they had this this is more like an emperor. Typically kings were beholden to the lords of the lands. The kings power flowed up and he couldn’t just start wars and so willy nilly, If the lords dropped support, the king had no taxes or army.

            With the abdication of the courts on checks and balances as well this is an imperial situation where power is absolute and unchecked.

                Good point, I am not sure that they could actually remove trumps power or neuter him. I think they profit but they couldn’t really stop Trump short of a coup, same as putin

          Biden is catholic and close to dying, he would never put his afterlife at risk. The abortion thing was probably pushing his limits.

    Yeah, it is weird to me as well. Whenever Trump would talk about how bad Biden was, Zelensky would say… “He was your President.” Now because English isn’t his native language, I knew that to mean that your people elected him. Regardless though, that is what I think irked Trump the most since Trump still can’t admit he lost in 2020.

      He sounded a little shocked when he said it too. Like how can you talk so disrespectfullly? This in the context of JD and Trump shouting like entitled bafoons that Zelenskyy of all people was not grateful or respectful enough toward them!
