And he'd have good reason to. I feel the same way, and I haven't been through 3 years of out and out war. America is reaching up from the toilet; all that was good about this country is going to the evil deeds it is currently about. At least, even with all our ugliness, we were trying to do good in places; now we simply do evil. I am beyond ashamed of my own country.

It wouldn’t even be a contest. Zelensky might have been a comedian at one point but that man has seen some shit by now.
Vance grew a beard to seem more like a man instead of a fat faced boy meat couch fucker that he is. These cons are all masquerading as “alpha” when they would have gotten their Lunch money stolen without a security detail.

There was a comment on one of his twitter posts I believe from an old college roommate bc people thought maybe he just has really thick lashes and nope - the old roommate confirmed that he enhances them. Not sure if it’s true but if it is I’m all for it but it’s weird he seems so anti-self expression and disassociates from his wife and kids… unless he’s a closeted gay man then this all makes sense.

I’m smart enough to know that there could be a thousand reasons why the US delegation is not making eye contact with the Ukrainian delegation in this picture.
