I think this is an excellent framing of one of the huge issues.

I am told by Sauron that until Gandalf apologizes to the Balrog, there will be no progress on peace for Middle Earth.

Protests against Elon Musk and JD Vance spread across America after Trump's bitter row with Zelensky | Daily Mail Online

🐉Takin it to the Streets: "🇺🇦 Wed 5:30 US Embassy London #SlavaUkraini #3E #Protests #50501Movement #Resist #Resistance" — Bluesky hope this is good.

drive up in a quality vehicle (almost anything else north of a 1980s Yugo) and park them side by side

Show up in a top hat and monocle like Homer Simpson.

Lech Walesa is just a has been who never did anything as important as bankrupting a casino or getting impeached. Poland's Walesa blasts Trump over communist-style Zelenskyy grilling

Starmer is putting in work, Trump is Putin's bitch.

When you have Rod Stewart

the dementia is coming for sure.

and did more in that week than impregnate your employees and destroy the social safety net.

Oh hey

Boots on the ground from Germany, UK, France, et al., with a no-fly zone, appear to be the thing necessary to end the War on favorable terms. I think the EU + UK need to be the construct for this given the US' support of Putin's agenda. The US ceasing cyberops against Russia is going to make Russian offensive ops in the United States and the West including propaganda on our social media and attempts to attack our elections systems much harder to thwart. The value of that to Putin/Musk/Trump will be enormous. GOP representatives need to be shamed by the public. They may never vote to do anything wrt Trump's abuses of the post-WWII collective security structures but at a minimum the shame will be correctly applied to these weasels.

it will be the ultimate test of our system if he refuses to leave after his term.

Coalition of the willing. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vygkzkkrvo Its nice when our ally is trying to keep its end of the collective security relationships going.

Trump tried to extort a democracy and country fighting for its very life for those rare earths. He's a ****.

Trump is advertising on my TV his energy plan. Dude, you have the job.

Remember when i said Thiessen was a nutter. This is absolute ****.

Dad out in very Republican Oceana County reports that his congressman had a town hall and was a no show. Sent his staff to hear from a very angry group of constituents. The residents were furious that he didn't show and demanded to know if the congressman even cares how angry they were. The after-church coffee clatch was very much a rage session.

This is also what Zelensky was resisting on Friday. The humiliation he was trying to impose.
