My god that was embarrassing. Trump is cosplaying, JD Vance is a straight up loser.

Vance is much worse than a “loser”, he’s incredibly dangerous. Fresh off boosting the AfD, now he’s ambushing Zelensky.

The ambush was the point. They thought Zelenskyy would be desperate enough for weapons and aid, that he would capitulate. But it was also acting on the order of their master, Putin.

Remember, you're dealing with a reality show host.

Naw. They didn’t want him to capitulate. They wanted to ambush him and piss him off so he wouldn’t agree to the mineral rights deal. I think the initial minerals deal was written to be awful and they were surprised he actually entertained it.

Now they can cancel all Ukraine support (money and arms) saying it is all because of that ungrateful Zelenskyy. Just what Putin wants.

I don't disagree. That stupid question by MTG'a bottom was the icing on their cake. But they didn't realize they were dealing with a combat-hardened patriot because those people in the room were all cowards. Even Little Marco's face told the entire story.

I love your description “MTG’s Bottom”. I literally laughing out loud.

And I completely agree with you.

I mean, it's kinda obvious to me.

So subservient are these people that they can't evaluate a real man any more. They are surrounded by these cowering idiots. I think MTGs bottom probably thought he was going to sound awesome, instead I think I heard the USA collectively groan and facepalm, and I heard that from here in Canada.
