Summary

Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.

His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.

Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.

While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.

    It’s almost as if we should require IQ testing for candidates.

    Look, I get your sentiment, but we’ve been over this sort of thing. If we let that happen, this is the sort of shit that the fascists would implement (and put themselves in charge of scoring, which would certainly result in their allies passing and everyone else failing):

      The most amazing(ly vile) one is using the tendency of our minds to skip over “the the” as if it’s an IQ test.

      Well that and the whole idea of using this stupid collection of badly worded instructions to “determine” a human’s worthiness.

      “Determine” with the assistance of that family guy “OKAY / NOT OKAY” card.
