He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028.
And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”

Well, y’all could make Russia “see” there’s no advantage in continuing the war by (1) Enabling Ukraine to destroy them militarily through your support and (2) Collapsing the already-shaky Russian economy through united, radical sanctions. Quit talking and do it. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini ✊🏼🇺🇦

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the war in Ukraine will end only when Russia is exhausted at least economically, and preferably militarily. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he said Berlin is ready to talk, but Russia is not yet willing to engage seriously. #Ukraine

Ukraine are making some massive advances right now.
The Russians are seriously struggling without internet access and the further fact that Putin is slowing Telegram which they were also using for comms.
I love this for them.

Russia is losing because it can’t reach its strategic objectives in Ukraine
The definition of losing is failing your strategic goals.
Putin wanted to erase Ukraine.
Instead he forged a stronger and more militarized nation with an unbreakable identity.
It’s a strategic defeat

If the Attorney General is yelling at Congress members during an oversight committee, screaming that the President is the greatest ever and everyone owes him an apology, when the Justice Department is supposed to be an independent entity, maybe she should be immediately dismissed.
