He and his nation are in a tough spot I don't begrudge him any decision he makes at this point.

It just grinds my gears that if I go searching (which I refuse to do) I know it will take me 5 seconds to find a maga citing this as evidence that Trump's bullying is clearly effective foreign policy and that Zelensky's cooperation represents an admission that everything said to him in the oval office was correct and OK.

Yeah that effing sucks. I really didn't think they'd bend the knee. I can't blame them, but it still makes me sad.

There are going to be so many verses of the updated "First they came for..." poem when this is all done.

This was a much more enjoyable article to read than many these days. They even managed to skewer Adams.

I did grit my teeth at the absolutely sitcom-level evil authoritarian language from Nancy Mace though. Get better writers you fucking clown! This is the kind of line people write into obvious satire. Did you ask them next whether he was "a great president or the greatest president?"

The hearing took a turn when Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina demanded mayors answer inflammatory yes-or-no questions, including whether they “hated President Trump more than they loved their country”.

I only learned what that meant from Mike Myers on SNL last week lol!

Thanks, I'll check it out, though it's going to take more than motivational books to pull the US out of the current nosedive...
