I'd love to see a higher level of cooperation between all world leaders to the specific exclusion of the US, to make it clear that putting this repugnant imbecile in a position to bully smaller countries to the advantage of his oligarch friends is unacceptable. The US wants to punish the world with trump, the rest of the world needs to punish the US for trump.

So the man is only left with 22 cents??? 😯

I'll see myself out...

Sounds like a 13 year old edge lord with a lot to learn about the world. Pretty normal and hopefully he will grow out of it in the next 5 years or so.

Don't mean to sound insulting, but sounds like you have a lot to learn too if you're hung up on someone like this.

We all think stupid things at that age. Getting out into the real world cures a lot of people. Some are sufficiently privileged that they never get out into the real world - those ones become CEOs and senators, some are incurable - they become some version of maga.

Just try to remember that everyone has their own history, hangups, and demons. We've all got our own battles to fight, and most people just want to live their lives and be left alone.

Well duh. Right now the cracks are spreading, but the US as a state is still holding. Once those cracks spread far enough it'll all come down, and quickly.

Fuck this headline and all reporting that shelters trump from responsibility for his constant failures. It didn't turn to chaos, trump and vance shit all over it because they're weak, stupid cowards pretending to be what they think an alpha is.

You lost all credibility at "according to trump."

I hope every American feels the humiliation of having these bumbling alpha wannabes representing their country.

That's a good point and thanks for the perspective. Of course I don't know what it's like for anyone in Ukraine at the moment, and I can understand the desperation. But trump is a thug, and a wannabe gangster. He will burn all of Ukraine if he thinks it will benefit him. His word is worthless, and so is any deal with the US. Every world leader knows that, it's just so frustrating that none will stand up and say it, they just keep treating him like a legitimate president when he's so clearly not.

You'll never both envy and commiserate with bikeseats so much simultaneously.

Zelenskyy would probably get more support from his people if he told trump to get fucked than by being his dancing monkey. I know he's desperately trying to do what's best for Ukraine, but sucking up to that piece of shit isn't it.

Well this is contradictory to what all the polls anyone has ever heard of are saying.

I never understood it, and I grew up on 80s action movies. Love Arnie, Bruce, Sylvester (before maga), even Chuck. But never got into James Bond at all.

FFS. So the US successfully extorted Ukraine. World leaders need to stop fucking doing business with trump. Shit like this just makes him worse.

And the idea that this will keep the US in their corner is beyond stupid. He'll be demanding more within a month. Fuck trump and fuck America.

I'd change it to poor people don't have disposable income and therefore can't save money. If you're poor, 100% of your income goes to just making it through another week.

Understanding that simple fact reveals the flawed logic in so many conservative economic positions. If you give $100 to a billionaire, they'll put it in their offshore tax haven, but if you give that same $100 to a poor person, they'll spend it, so someone else can spend it, and that's how you maintain an economy. I wouldn't be surprised if this "50% of spending" figure has less to do with rich people spending more and more with poor people spending less as the screws get tighter, it's not like the rich just suddenly decided they need more stuff.

There have always been Nazis in America, even during WW2. Listen to Rachel Maddow's podcast "ultra" to hear about how close they came to a takeover of the US way back then. They never went away, they just went low profile for a while.

Once the oligarchs squeeze every cent they can out of wages, public services, and the environment, the military is about all that's left. Gotta get that infinite growth from somewhere!

Not necessarily. They've still got all those cool toys, and a bunch of simpletons with an excess of arrogance and delusions of being "alphas" are going to want to play with them.

This is cool and normal. I don't think the fact that the administration that despises DEI policies firing a highly qualified black man to replace him with what I'm sure will be a tragically incompetent white man is anything to comment on. Carry on with the top notch governing, maga. 👍

They're either stupid or they're liars.

Yeah, if I were American the urge would be to shoot them! 😉
