Or EVERYBODY roll in with a pig nose on
It is truly disgusting how trump keeps disrespecting women journalists in those press briefings, and not ONE other journalist calls him out.

They should all walk out when he tells a reporter "Quiet, Piggy," or shouts "YOU'RE STUPID" at another.

Where are your fucking SPINES?

Putin has been very consistent throughout the war: Ukraine belongs to him, the Ukrainians don't get a say in that, and the only peace Russia is open to is that of Ukraine's forced surrender and Russia's successful conquest.
Only outsiders are pretending otherwise, which makes themselves feel better.
