I've never been ashamed to be an American, until now.
I think the thing that is most aggravating is that Zelensky never waivered on the point that without strong assurances of security that Ukraine would NOT sign the minerals deal. Apparently the orange douche and his sidekick were aggravated pre-Oval office meeting when Zelensky stuck to his position and went into the meeting angry over his lack of willingness to deal. Ukraine may lose or Zelensky resign or both because they are running out of options, but it won't be because those slack-jawed motherfuckers intimidated or outnegotiated him.
It astonishes me that people can see what is happening and somehow feel like we have the moral highground.
The $5 Million Trump Gold Card discussion had me thinking about "The New Colossus" on the base of Lady Liberty...
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
I think we ought to just tape a big MAGA sign over it and end any charade that may still exist.
I'm so fucking pissed!!
