That Zelensky, a man that is trying to save rather than destroy his country has to kiss that fuckers ass is a disgrace.

And I guess the Biden/Harris administration hands each one a free iPhone when they cross the border. It’s in their “Welcome to America” basket along with their voter registration card.

At around 3:55 when Trump is commending Zelensky for telling everyone that there was “nothing wrong” with the phone call with Trump and so putting an end the the impeachment “hoax”, Zelensky has this look on his face that seems to say “please kill me now!”.

The sacrifices one makes to save one’s country… all the while knowing that, if Trump wins, he’s almost certainly going to do exactly what Putin wants anyway.

Now I do have to correct you on this. Of course he does gratitude. He thanks himself for everything all the time. “Gratitude _to others_” is what he doesn’t do.

If the melon felon does manage to get back into office, the very first thing he’s going to do is jettison the constitution. It’s not like he’s never said anything of that sort. Even after four years in office, the jackass still believes the president is like pharaoh.

Not possible. The firefighter was sitting on the far side of Trump from the shooter, at some distance.

President Zelensky is willing to stand next to this fucking garbage piece of shit for the sake of his country and his people, to be looked at and spoken to in such a way, just makes me hurt for him so much.

Agreed.

To hear Trump going off about the “impeachment hoax” and how “The President” defended him with a clear statement saying “President Trump did nothing wrong,” and how that shut down the Impeachment, it turns my stomach. Zelensky has to calmly stand there and, for the sake of his country, listen to this alternate history and not call out the lies about his own actions.

The fact that Zelensky has to be meeting with this bag of turds at all to discuss his plans for the war _in case_ Trump wins is a disgrace for our country. Then Trump brags about having a good relationship with Putin. That’s like a knife in the back.

Trump trying to discuss the situation in Ukraine pulls out his only rhetorical tool and clichés his way through “like nothing ever before” and “like nobody’s ever seen” shows Trump doesn’t understand our care about history. WWII and even WWI would like a word.

Trump just has bombastic exaggeration as his only tool for expressing emphasis. It’s a catchphrase so worn and tired, it’s been used like no idiom before has ever seen.

There’s actually a linear progression at work here. Google has “bad” results when Trump searches his name. Elon Musk is [creating a search engine to rival Google](https://www.namepros.com/threads/elon-musk-is-creating-a-search-engine.1331534/). Elon Musk has endorsed Trump.

Though they could release a variation of the soft drink called Mello Orange, which tastes like ketchup, ass, and indictments.

Put it in a bright red can with the words “Make America Refreshed Again” and certain people will empty the shelves despite the fact that it tastes so awful and even makes them sick.

“Buy the soda that the left hates so much! Zero caffeine so you won’t be woke.”

Maybe the potential ROI on a soda is not very exciting compared with a nonexistent wristwatch?

I fondly look back to the days of Billy Beer.
