@ambeanie_moss My dad was big on unions, we knew early on which side bread was buttered on. I was 6 for my first ‘talk’ about church state separation with JFK. We were catholic and the KKK was a thing we got warned about. ‘Nam and ERA brought me far left of dad.
It may be my generation or because I lived through it, Lech Wałęsa is, for all his possible faults as a politician, a hero of Europe. I owe him, Pope John Paul II, President Reagan and Helmut Kohl my freedom. Let there be people like him in our times, alas - there, Ukraine has a president cut from the same cloth. Europe should unite behind him.
Thank you, President Wałęsa!
@true_explorer@unusual_whales Crashing education for our children to give all the advantages to rich children from other countries is the epitome of Trump anti American agenda
He was in over his head. He knew it. He had nothing but dumbed down talking points in his 'arsenal.' Z was giving him a quick history lesson and, having no way to rebut such, he went for a distraction.
A complete mess of a person who blew up a chance at peace.
This is why Trump and his entire crew, which includes Elon, should be charged with #HighTreason FACT: Russia was kicked out of the G8 for the illegal invasion of Crimea. IMO Russia should be destroyed.
ZELENSKY IS THE HERO OF UKRAINE🇺🇦
CRIMEA IS UKRAINE 🇺🇦
DONETSK IS UKRAINE 🇺🇦
LUHANSK IS UKRAINE 🇺🇦
BAKHMUT IS UKRAINE 🇺🇦
ZAPORIZHZHIA IS UKRAINE 🇺🇦
603 700 km² IS UKRAINE 🇺🇦
In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.
GOP Rep. Don Bacon, responding to the Zelenskyy Oval Office meeting, tells me:
“Our WH leaders sound the Democrats in the 1970s and 1980s in regard to Russia. Reagan was right then.”
He adds: “A bad day for America’s foreign policy. Ukraine wants independence, free markets and rule of law. It wants to be part of the West. Russia hates us and our Western values. We should be clear that we stand for freedom.”
@KeithOlbermann Trump spokesman B.S. Malarkey said that Trump Administration is emptying America's prisons and mental institutions and hiring them for his administration.

The President of the United States just made the biggest mistake any president could ever make. He expected fealty and got a leader who stood up and said we are not going to be f*cked over by you.
For all those saying nobody dare stand up to Trump. This is how it’s done. Time for Europe to step up now.
The entire free world has chosen Ukraine over the United States. Next time you star spangled fuckers need help, go ask North Korea. The rest of us are done with you.
Embarrassing. No class, no manners, just two bullies beating up a guest in OUR White House. I am so so sorry to the Ukrainian people and our allies that this represents the United States of America. I promise I will keep the pressure up to right this sinking ship. #saddayforUSA
Trump and Vance's ambush of Zelensky is nothing short of a cowardly display of aggression by bullies. Every American should be embarrassed and ashamed as Putin delights in controlling the sitting US President. Every Ukrainian should be outraged.
