Best thing for Zelensky is really meeting Trump one on one, without his chaotic advisors dissuading and adding fuel to the fire.

Trump is a coward at heart, he'll be less likely to throw tantrums and play the "big man" act without his cheerleaders around. Plus, meeting on neutral ground is also great, since the worst place to meet a bully is in his own home, where he feels safe and calls the shots.

Still, not that it matters much in the end. Even if Zelensky convinced Trump of anything through stroking his ego, his cheerleaders will talk him right out of it as soon as he leaves the Vatican. Or Putin, after a quick call. That's how fickle he is.

Trump and co. completely jelly in the corner.

Luigi is just a symptom of a larger disease - unchecked greed and corruption.

Time and time again, throughout history, the corrupt elite tried to profit off of the suffering of the lower classes. Some held on more than others, but eventually all crooks meet their end when the people say "enough is enough".

Luigi was just the first, and the way he's getting maximum severity treatment while some orange nepo baby felon and his ilk roam free and get to live their best lives is being noticed.

The pressure is rising, and it'll absolutely create more Luigis as more people are lead to utter despair. I have no sympathy for the people who contribute to this mess. They'll eventually fall like every tyrant before them.

Maybe they should also investigate that 2016 (and onwards) intel about Russian interference and backing of far right elections...

Unless this isn't actually about justice and holding corruption accountable, of course.

And these hats still had to be designed, manufactured and shipped.

Meaning, this wasn't exactly done yesterday. Meaning that while Trump was publicly stating that "they want me to run for a 3rd term, but I can't" this was likely already in the works.

Not surprising in the least, but still worth pointing out and adding to the already huge pile of bs coming from him and his suckers.

Schrodinger's Trump: Everything he says is both intended and a joke/meant something else/never happened until one of the choices becomes convenient.

Ergo, Trump is a drama feminazi, and therefore very progressive, he has the most progresses ever, you wouldn't believe it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Yeah, he's tired of the same people who supported him into become the richest man in the world. The same progressive ones who prioritized electric vehicles.

Don't see your conservative petrolhead cronies really lining up to buy a Tesla except to spite others.

You indeed reap what you sow.

Trump the coward. The definition of 'getting peace' is to just make the smaller side capitulate to the bigger one. And then act surprised when said peace doesn't hold long.

No surprises that Russia is volunteering to mediate the Iran-US conflict either. Friends always watch each other's backs.

A mediator doesn't take sides. It's the most basic principle. If you're gonna do that - taking the easiest and cowardly way - just step aside and let more competent people handle it before you make an even bigger mess. Some 'help' simply isn't worth the hassle.

And Russia did not take more land for a simple reason - not because of concessions or kindness, but because the small David held their ground against the Goliath invading them. It's that simple, nepo crybaby.

Just saw another reporting on MSNBC's YouTube that according to Trump internal sources "they expected China to be one of the first to come begging, given the size of their exports to the US".

1. Anyone who knows China, as a millenia-old civilization, knows they are too proud to grovel and give in to bullying. Regardless of them being right or wrong. They know suffering, they have ancient history.

2. There it is. The obvious statement some seem to miss. This is what Trump wants. He wants others to grovel at his feet, simple. Refuse to grovel, show some backbone and tell him to take a hike, and he'll quickly backtrack in cowardice. As he did with China, with the tariffs, and everything else.

And the funniest part? They don't even have an actual goalpost set, as they just demonstrated with Japan when they visited the US to make a deal. They want to trick those afraid into overcomprimising themselves as much as they can out of despair. "How much are you willing to give us for our blessing?".

Bullies only attack when they think they might succeed. Show them you're not afraid, and they shrink into their shells. Acknowledge their fake power, and they'll only get worse with time. We might hurt in the short term, but he's gonna endure the consequences of his stupidity in the long run.

Stand strong. Stand united. Don't give in. And this mainly to Europe, Canada, Mexico, and all of the British Commonwealth.

This european feels exactly the same way. Let us support each other even more than before, and if the dictators want deals they'll have to accept our terms.

We all are already suffering the consequences of being majorly dependent to an economic world power. Not excited to depend on them ever again.

Business relations? Yes, if needed and to our benefit. Dependency? Nope.

Best hope is for her to survive until this regime is toppled, how long that takes, and then seek compensation. Same for Mr. Garcia and any other wrongfully affected person.

Sadly the key here is really holding on and surviving these savages and their cult, but even in other countries, while 'safer' it's still not a complete guarantee. Hopefully they do evade the fascism and find some good samaritans along the way. 🤞
