So... according to the thread link vid, it was Zelensky sometime last year selling Trump on the idea of getting a Contract for Ukrainian minerals in exchange for continued US support. Velly interesting...

Zelenskyy is smart and doing what he has to in order to keep US support going. He knows that the only thing that will motivate Trump is money (and his unrequited (?) love for Ivanka).

Even US Shocked by EU's Surprise Ukraine Minerals Deal!

Which is exactly what Putin's Beach wanted, because that's what Putin wanted. To tear Ukraine's coalition apart while simultaneously destroying our standing as the world's only superpower and a reliable ally.

Good job MAGATs!

Just more distraction by the Troll in Chief while he and his billionaire accomplices rob the nation blind.

I'm on the side that wants the spending reduced in order to [give tax cuts to billionaires].

FTFY.

Carlos Slim... Sounds familiar. Anthony Weiner's alias for his weener pics?

call it extortion. fine with me. But more living Ukranians, Russians, and Americans is a good thing. Are the mineral rights going to cripple Ukraine? I hope not. European colonization
the middle east treaties and $$ exchanged through NATO It's all paying for access, paying for protection, much like organized crime. welcome to the real world.

That's a lot of words for "appeasement."

Absolutely lame Censored. I voted none of the above in 2020. Wanna try that again??

That's good. For a minute there, I was worried that you wasted your vote.

LauraMohr does that lot, attacking the messenger.

Instead of evaluating the message (i.e., here, that the majority of the US supports Doge, per the Harvard/Harris poll).

I didn't vote for Biden. Please do try again Eberly.

Jill Stein 2028!

Let's face it. Nobody cares we're getting some concessions from Ukraine.

Not everyone is like you.

I find it shameful. I also believe that carving up Ukraine hurts us, our standing in the world, our argument against Russia's aggression, and sows the seeds of discord amongst Ukraine's allies.

DOGE Is Very Popular With Americans, New Poll Finds

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if a survey showed 50% of Americans support taking a kick in the face, so long as they thought that would make Trump happy.

Republican: 'God Has a Plan' for Fired Federal Employees

Is it for me to laugh at those who voted for Trump or sat on their butts on election day? If so, God's plan is coming to fruition.

Selling the Grand Canyon and cutting medicare to give tax breaks to billionaires. About what I expected from this regime.

$1.5 billion in Ether crypto?!?!?! What is that in Trump Bucks?

Are we sure it's AI.

well attended online meeting [...] Over 150 people from around the world [...] with 99 percent of attendees voting in favor.

So ~150 people "from around the world." WTF?

Ah, an article from the World Socialist Web Site. LOL!

It's interesting seeing how OneIronTurd's language and demeanor has changed lately. Almost as if the original paid Russian troll has tagged out to be replaced by someone dumber, but more fluent in English and more entertaining.

The stock market did not crash. It had a significant decline, and when Pres Trump saw that decline, he reversed his position.
But a crash? No.

I read that as a prediction and fear held by the public. Based on the recession that Delon Mrump is pushing us towards.

be specific about who you're talking about or STFU.

I've never had a problem with the MIC. Peace through overwhelming power always struck me as a reasonable take.

Probably not a liberal anymore, though. I used to get all kinds of grief for being a liberal, from moderates and conservatives, but then I got left behind as the libs decided to focus their energies on infinite genders instead of boosting wages and ensuring people had health care. And their love for terrorist murderers and rapists was a bit of an eyeopener for me.

But I still get called out by "liberals" here who voted for Trump/Jill Stein. Pretty funny, actually.

Worst move since Panda Express left Beijing.

For posterity!

This appears to be amongst the least disturbing acts that have taken place in that office since Trump returned.

Meanwhile, rightwing outrage when Obama would take his wife to dinner once a month.
