I’ll say it again. A Ukrainian company needs to create a clothing line mimicking what Zelenskyy wears. I would buy the full ensemble in a heart beat as I’m sure would others. Don’t forget to include a prominent Ukrainian flag or insignia.
Zelinsky should have worn a tan suit to the meeting. That would have set them off. Also, that sweater he was wearing probably cost more than Trumps off the rack ill-fitting suit.
It's weird to me that GOP senators don't see the calculus on becoming the next John McCain on steroids here. Given how fucking stupid enough of the US electorate is, you could defy Trump and then build momentum for a presidential run, starting right now. John Thune should really take my calls, tbh.
Of course Zelenskyy wanted to make sure that fact didn’t get lost when the press wrote up the meeting. His audience is not just Donald Trump....... His audience is also his own people.
Thiessen has always been a dick. His stupid, ridiculous, sense-free opinion pieces used to be featured in our local rw rag and because this area is largely red, the locals used to eat it up. Personally, I had a habit of specifically saving the opinion pages of that nasty publication to line the litter box. Was I being petty? Yes and I rejoiced in it. Thiessen isn't even worthy of being a receptacle for kitty crap.
Narrator: He was not trying to help Ukraine and he is not committed to stop the killing. He is quite fine with the killing so long as it is the Russians doing it to people in seized territories.
I bet had Zelenskyy made any, minor but abrupt movement -- let's say pinching the top of the bridge of his nose as one does -- Sir would have let out a massive squeak, hit the floor, curled fetus-like, and screeched for help.
I think the worst part of it was we didn't even get their A-Team Twitter Shitposter. Vance had to represent us because Musk was busy breaking domestic things.
I'm sure Krasnov cherishes Rubio. One of Krasnov's most favorite activities is forcing a former adversary to utterly abase and humiliate himself. He keeps Rubio around to remind himself of the warm fuzzies he gets when he makes Rubio watch him shred and piss on everything Rubio said and accomplished while he was a Senator.
Of course, if Rubio had even an ounce of self-respect and a partial spine he would have refused the offer of being Secretary of State. Rubio deserves to be humiliated IMHO.
Just WHY does saying the elected leader(s) of foreign countries must resign seem so logical to them? Do they not recall the 60 years of misery gunboat diplomacy visited on us in Central America? Problems lasting to this day.
Oh, never mind! That’s history, which doesn’t exist…
You have absolutely nailed it. They are scared stiff that someone is going to say what they all know to be true but dare not confess even to themselves: that their emperor wears no clothes. He is naked. Apart from his nappy.
Three successive leaders have now each owned Trump in the Oval Office.
Macron piled on the sophisticated French act and Trump lapped it up, all the while being corrected (lectured to?) on his many lapses of fact and put in his place with an assertive Macron arm.
Starmer dangled a treat, an “historic” 2nd state visit and a meeting with King Charles. Trump rolled over for a tummy tickle and that was that.
Zelenskyy, with “no cards”, ironically stood tall and did not flinch as the dogs initially snarled then lost control, yapping and barking angrily at the “ungratefulintruder. Zelenskyy got across his message to the entire world in a way no shrivelled GOP Russo-hawk or even visiting world leader has dared to do - Putin is a lying, war- hungry criminal. Putin cannot be trusted. Fact, not hate.
Trump, with all the cards, got precisely nothing. No egotistic “ceasefire”, no minerals, no deal! Like the worst poker player you have ever come across, he got emotional, he lost his temper, he reacted to the room. Even with all those cards he overplayed and left the Oval Office empty handed.
Zelenskyy left, flew across the Atlantic to a hero’s welcome from a reinvigorated European Union leadership, an instant and warm meeting with King Charles (although why that matters so much, I’m not sure) and a fresh focus on support for Ukraine.
Zelenskyy was on a loser’s mission to Washington - a Scythian barbarian expected to abase himself in Rome before an arrogant emperor - instead, he walked tall. Trump now turns to the crowd with no bounty and no triumph, a leader visibly unable to exert his power.

MAGA is big mad because Ze embarrassed Trump, yet again.
The first time when he refused to bend to Trump's extortion to make up shit about Biden....leading to his first impeachment.
Then he refused to grovel or bend to Trump's extortion of Ukraine's mineral wealth.
Ze has the righteous moral clarity, strength of character and courage that Trump lacks.
Don't think MAGA doesn't see it, and hate him for it…..and for humiliating Trump on national television.
Every demand for an apology shows they do see it.
That's why they're so offended, and still on the air harping about it. They know exactly how pissed America is and how weak Trump is.
WAPO apparently has decided to replace exiting op-ed writers with pond scum. Jason Willick makes Thiessen look like a lib. ugh.
“everyone in the building — from the president on down — felt completely disrespected.”
Hey, how about that? They CAN feel the vibes most of the country is sending their way.

So there is all that.
The clothing thing?
Chump's probably pretty pissed that Zelenskyy can pull off the NFT fanfic he's so bad at in real life.
Gangsters doing what gangsters do.
I bet had Zelenskyy made any, minor but abrupt movement -- let's say pinching the top of the bridge of his nose as one does -- Sir would have let out a massive squeak, hit the floor, curled fetus-like, and screeched for help.
Remember when they did the inept WWE thing of Chump beating up Obama?
Zelenskyy popping Chump and laying him out is way better.
I think the worst part of it was we didn't even get their A-Team Twitter Shitposter. Vance had to represent us because Musk was busy breaking domestic things.
Nobody's talking about the real loser in this whole thing.
Marco Rubio.
Can you imagine what Chump says about him when he's not around?
I'm sure Krasnov cherishes Rubio. One of Krasnov's most favorite activities is forcing a former adversary to utterly abase and humiliate himself.

And we are all deeply grateful for that nappy.
