Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky looked visibly t upset when he gave his reaction to the meeting during a news conference in Turkey.
Oh my! Zelensky got upset that Russia wasn't going to allow Ukraine to join NATO. Like, you think maybe he just didn't know that Putin might object?
"We want everything to be fair and so that nobody decides anything behind our back," he said.
Oh, that's right. Zelensky wants everything to be fair. Maybe he's not aware of that love and war fairness thing.
Sorry Z Trumps going to screw the people of Ukraine.. Republicans now love communists ... because they are defending western Values ... hint hint wink wink .. ask JD

Let's see . . . Russia didn't invade Ukraine when Trump was President the first time . . . (maybe because Trump was somehow screwing the people of Ukraine then) . . . During Biden, Russia destroyed Ukraine, took more land, killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, sent millions into exile . . . This time around Trump is bringing an end to destruction and massacre . . . in order to screw the Ukrainian people of course.

Putin invaded Ukraine because his puppet lost the election. And lost his back door deal with Trump. To keep Ukraine out of nato.. I bet you think he feared Trump.
Putin knew Biden was for Ukraine joining NATO or the EU.. so he invaded. Trump admit as much. And now he’s blaming Ukraine

After FDR and until Reagan the USA economy and the middle class grew at the fastest rate in the world, since Reagan productivity and profits have remained high but amazingly enough less and less has trickled down.
Meanwhile Republicans cut corporate tax rates, add to the deficit and reduce workers rights.
The current administration eliminated CFPB which directly returned Billions to taxpayers and more indirectly, cut NIH grants which act as multipliers to research etc.
The reasoning behind it has yet to be proven.
DOGE is proving to be as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving.
That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.
Meanwhile the FFOTUS has a presser and knows nothing
SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest?
TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

Pretty good summary. I’d note while Trump presided over his first term Russia was occupying Crimea and fighting in eastern Ukraine, not on the sideline fearful of a vengeful Trump.

FFOTUS really ought to see the corruption occurring on his watch.
FElon and his Nerd Reich youngsters are systematically targeting agencies. Each agency under assault by Elon Musk and the DOGE has a direct relationship to investigations of Musk‘s companies. At least 32 investigations at 11 agencies may now be shut down.
The richest man in the world, who controls more government contracts than anyone would never have a conflict of interest.
Remember it all trickles down and it’s golden too.

Remember OTD in 2022 Putin denied any invasion would happen in Ukraine.
So you can believe his promises about peace now.
But remember Putin has never not resumed action after a ceasefire.
There will be a hot war in Europe before summer.

OK . . . so we are considered idiots or conspiracists and must be censored if we say without proof that the 2020 election was stolen by the Dems, but it's OK to keep saying without proof that Trump is Putin's puppet. It gets very old. Nazi, fascist, racist, xenophobe, misogynist, racist, anti-gay, porn merchant, blah blah blah--no really solid evidence of any of that gibberish. But OK to keep repeating it all. And also to saying the puppet nonsense.
And lost his back door deal with Trump. To keep Ukraine out of nato.. I bet you think he feared Trump.
Is there an actual record of this back door deal? What exactly is it?
Putin knew Biden was for Ukraine joining NATO or the EU.. so he invaded. Trump admit as much. And now he’s blaming Ukraine
Apparently, you're saying that only Trump being President was stopping him from invading Ukraine. He did invade before Trump was elected . . . and after he was unelected. So the smart thing, for Ukraine's fate, was to elect Trump. But what happens in four years, or sooner if he is successfully removed from office or assassinated? Will someone have to make another back door deal?
What if Ukraine had made, or what's left of it did make a back door deal with Russia assuring it wouldn't join NATO.
Too much iffy maybe. It was understood that Russia did not want, and thought it had an agreement, that Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO. That was not an if or maybe. And it must have been known that Russia would not allow it. And that there would be consequences, serious consequences, if it did try to join.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticized the Associated Press’s continued use of “Gulf of Mexico” instead of “Gulf of America,” calling it “ridiculous” and underscoring his intent to restrict the agency’s access if it does not recognize the new designation.
So much for freedom of the press.
You can’t see when you’re not looking …. It’s an easy concept to understand.
Wow you actually brought up the stolen election. As a defense. Pathetic

The Press is still free to call it whatever it wants.
They are free to call it the Gulf of Ca-ca if they choose. But it might confuse their audience. For clarity, it should probably use the proper name.
And Press access has always had various restrictions. Access has actually expanded under Trump since it allows access to internet media now at Press conferences.
You can’t see when you’re not looking …. It’s an easy concept to understand.
Sounds reasonable to me.

It wasn't a defense. It highlighted the hypocrisy of those who condemn and censor those who refer to a stolen election without proof, but freely resort to calling Nazi, fascist, racist, etc. without clear legitimate proof.

I disagree with you there, Republicans have at various times controlled those levers.
and every problem is caused by progressives..
I also disagree with you there also. Progressives cause more than their fair share of problems, but certainly not EVERY problem.

This administration is setting up as a perfect sitcom
Here’s the pitch:
They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident!
It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY!
Need a title.

Ugh those things started and were a fait au complete before Trump. And there didn't seem to be a threat of expanding beyond that into the total destruction of Ukraine and the ensuing millions of death mass exit of the population.

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine.
“Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process”
Done

Condemn those who refer to a stolen election without proof, Like you ? So all the court case and no evidence presented.. got it .. you should be condemn prove it or Move on. ..
Again people are referred to as Nazi, fascist, racist, Because of their word actions and Deeds …. You seem to think these comparisons are made in a vacuum
Here is. one I doubt you’ll have an issue with.
H.R.1395 - To amend title 5, United States Code, to designate Trump's Birthday and Flag Day as a legal public holiday.

It really is pathetic that the President of the United States and the richest man in the world are doing a joint interview together on Fox about how they’re running the country.
Meanwhile DOJ lawyers are claiming Musk is not doing that.

You're saying that Trump is acting like a Nazi?
So how, exactly does a Nazi act? I don't mean the things that Nazi's did that are similar to what most people do, but specifically what are the Trump actions those that only Nazi's did?
Here is. one I doubt you’ll have an issue with.
H.R.1395 - To amend title 5, United States Code, to designate Trump's Birthday and Flag Day as a legal public holiday.
Is this something that only Nazis did? Is this the kind of thing that existed well before the Nazis and well after? I don't see anything specifically and soley Nazi about it.

What’s up with the POTUS a press secretary.
Leavitt is married to Nicholas Riccio, a real estate developer 32 years her senior.
And here I thought the Republicans were a party of family values and did not like pedophiles or predators.. I guess I was wrong

Actions of a true not Nazi
Elon Musk • X @elonmusk • 9h
One of the first things Hitler did upon gaining power was apply aggressive censorship
Elon Musk • X @elonmusk • 4h
60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election.
They deserve a long prison sentence.

No but you've said other things about me, even in this thread like I wasn't too bright, or made lazy arguments, or lived in some strange nonexistent part of America . . . and you actually meant them. I didn't call you a Nazi because I thought you were, but was an example of unjustly casting you with a label meant to make you appear treacherous, evil, a threat to America. And if I were important enough, and you were running for political office, I could repeatedly tell the lie often enough so it would spread and become a believable mark of your unfitness.
Apparently, that method has been effective as witnessed by your support of and belief in the labels wrapped around Trump by his adversaries.
But that all was so transparently false that Trump was not made a victim, but rather he was made the victor.

No, aggressive censorship is not particularly a Nazi action. It is a common adversarial method used by those influential enough to use it. As witnessed by the revelations of the twitter files.
