Trump asks Zelensky to not attack Russian refineries.

Imagine your country having been invaded, Russia is trying to kill you, has brought in soldiers not just from Russia but from other countries. You've toured countless bombed cities, and regularly see soldiers and civilians, men, women, and children missing limbs. You regularly get casualty numbers, names, and stories of your fellow countrymen.... for years. Year after year.

...and some fat American President who watches Fox news and is a child rapist, is telling you to go easy on the country invading you.

Yeah, being a US vassal tends to be detrimental in the long run.

Ukraine has kept bombing Russian refineries regardless of what the US says. Good for them.

Ukraine is far from a US vassal state, they also have Europe on their side and have developed domestic military power beyond anyone's imagination in 2022. They haven't been listening to Trump at all

Cute that you think Europe isnt also vassalized too.

JK Rowling really likes to make the villains in her books fat. Umbridge, Vernon, Dudley, Goyle. The characters who embody bullying are nearly always fat. She thinks a person's weight is okay to make fun of if they're a bad person. Rowling fans like to cite Molly as a counterexample, but I think that's missing the point. The fact that the narrator is so mean about these characters' weight makes it clear that weight is on the table as something to make fun of, if Rowling thinks you deserve it. She thinks being fat is shameful, she's just polite when she talks about nice (cis) people.

There's a lot of people who think the same way as Rowling when they talk about Trump.
