It's fucking sad that the only person actually standing up to Donald Trump and refusing to give him what he wants is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Putin has won nothing and for an American President to say that he has is horrifying to hear.

⚡️'He's going to take something' — Trump says Putin has 'won' territory in Ukraine.

"He's won certain property," Trump told Fox News, indicating that Putin would lay claim to Ukrainian lands as part of a U.S.-brokered peace deal.

No, it's worse than that. Putin controls the White House and the Republican party.

America is not to be counted on as an ally for the time being. You've been warned.

Fucking weasel Republicans always blaming Democrats for everything they do or don't do. No matter what, they will find something, no matter how incorrect or irrelevant, to use as an excuse for their shitty actions.

If Republican lips are moving, lies are coming out.

Government attorneys need to be brought before the bar when this is over. There needs to be proper punishment for these abuses of citizens and our legal system.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.
