Jimmy Kimmel infiltrates Trump’s cabinet meeting to help heap praise on “Mr. P”—and his work with extraterrestrials, or however that word's pronounced.
On one side of the Atlantic, you have a 79-year-old former game show host who believes windmills cause cancer, personally ended a war that hasn’t ended, and that crowd sizes at his inauguration defied the known laws of mathematics.
On the other side, you have a 72-year-old ex-KGB man who has just accused Finland of secretly plotting to invade Russia.
Finland. Famous for saunas, reindeer, and minding their own business since approximately the Bronze Age.
Putin’s reasoning, delivered with the solemn authority of a man who hasn’t slept since 2003, was this: Finland joined NATO because they were waiting. Biding their time. Lurking. Ready to swoop in and grab Russian territory the moment Russia collapsed.
“Swoop in and grab what they could,” he said.
This is a man who sent 200,000 troops across an internationally recognised border, seized territory by force, and has spent four years reducing Ukrainian cities to rubble. Describing someone else as the type who swoops in and grabs what they can.
The psychological term is projection. The clinical term is considerably less polite.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, the other one is imposing tariffs on islands inhabited exclusively by penguins and receiving world leaders at a golf club in Florida as though the White House is simply too far to drive.
Two old men. Two fantasy worlds. Zero connection to observable reality.
The Cold War at least had the decency to be frightening. This is just embarrassing.
When your entire worldview runs on paranoia, grievance, and whatever the Kremlin version of Fox News feeds you at 3am, a fence looks like an invasion. A neighbour looks like a threat. And five million Finns quietly getting on with their lives looks like a geopolitical conspiracy.
Holy shit, this is BRILLIANT: This dude breaks down why everyone thinks the whole WHCD event was fake... everything about trump is FAKE.
Best video you'll see today.
@EricLDaugh@RapidResponse47 Europe is only indebted to Ukraine for our freedom.
Under Trump's totalitarian regime (Congress is completely paralyzed), America has become what NATO was originally intended to fight.
So please leave.
Favorite video from last night’s celebrations in Budapest dropped
Here is Zsolt Hegedus….leading candidate to become the new Health Minister of Hungary…..this is what defeating a dictator looks like!
Not even a week after JD Vance traveled to Budapest to show his support and love for him, the pro-Russian Viktor Orban has suffered one of the most catastrophic electoral defeats in the history of the Hungarian nation. Do visit us more often, JD! Cheers from Europe!🇪🇺
The Surrender Summit: Trump Sends His Son-in-Law to Lose a War
‘Vance brought his wife.
Not a deputy secretary. Not a general. Not even a halfway competent mid-level State Department lifer who at least knows what the Strait of Hormuz is on a map. He brought Usha. His wife. To a war negotiation. The most consequential diplomatic moment since the end of the Cold War and JD thought, yeah, I’ll make a long weekend of it, bring the missus, see Pakistan.
Pakistan received the Iranians with their Foreign Minister, their Army Chief, their National Assembly Speaker, and their Interior Minister all standing on the tarmac in full ceremonial dress.
America sent the guy who wrote a book about how sad it is to be from Ohio.
And then there’s Jared Kushner. Jared fucking Kushner. A man whose entire qualification for any of this is that he married into the right family, which, by the way, is also his business model, his foreign policy experience, and apparently now his military strategy. Jared has the energy of a guy who’s never been told no in his life because everyone around him was either paid not to or too scared to. He walked into the Middle East peace process last time and achieved absolutely nothing except making himself several hundred million dollars richer. So naturally Donald called him again.
Jared Kushner at peace talks is like bringing your plumber to do brain surgery because he’s good with pipes and you trust him.’
