SectionC3

I'll give it a little time. I think the idea was a dumb one, and the theater is ridiculous, but I acknowledge that he probably received some sort of information from Putin (in the form of terms that will be patently unacceptable to Ukraine) that he'll convey to Zelenskyy. Knowing how Trump operates, he'll be coy with the info with Zelenskyy now, bring the guy to the Oval next week, and try to bully him into accepting a lousy deal. Zelenskyy will say no, Trump will stomp his feet, and away we go. I'm not against the idea of talking, but the framework is all wrong. Russia cannot be rewarded for aggression. It might get something it wants (no sanctions, etc.) for leaving, but it cannot be rewarded for aggression.

And you have inside info? Seems to me the intelligence estimates were not so rosy. And how did Israel get there? Boots on the ground, in part. That free pass likely won’t be there if they have or want to go in again.

Discredit what? The whole thing is a joke. It can’t be discredited if it has no credit. We don’t negotiate with aggressors like this. Want to end the war? Get out of Ukraine. It’s very simple, and doesn’t require a stupid summit where Trump tries to sacrifice Ukraine to do a half assed job of keeping a campaign promise and to satisfy his delusion of a Nobel Prize.

Giving Putin the literal red carpet treatment is a friggin disgrace.

And in the meantime Israel blew its cover on the inside job and theres a good chance the Iranians can soon get back up to speed with the most important raw material needed for a nuke. Half. Measure.

Hoax. How do you know I was excited? You seem a little obsessed with me. Which is better than being obsessed with you muse, Jeffy. I just hope you aren’t following me around. Sick and weird.

Hoax. I would never want it to fail. I do, however, think it was a half measure unlikely to succeed.

We don’t know whether or succeeded. And, initial reports reflect that the enriched uranium was NOT destroyed.

So then he's got nothing and it's all bluster? Let's see what happens today, and maybe he can drop these "severe consequences" before the meeting to gain a little bit of leverage.

Tick tock. Let's show the cards. Lots of pics of The Don and Jeffy together that you could have posted, but instead you default to Hillary (who, as far as I know, has no connection to any of this mess).

For which Trump now is responsible. He said he’d show the cards. So do it.

You keep it up with your Epstein envy and I’ll stay in my lane about the coverup and never shall we meet. Unless you keep on talking about the Jeffy you seem to wish you could have been. So weird. Some of a lot is far less than a lot of a little.

They probably did him a solid to see if he can latch on elsewhere.

Rule 2.

Hoax. I have mentioned the Epstein files. MAGA hero and protectee Jeff Epstein is a different subject. Sick how you guys want to protect his legacy.

Better fire up those fraud prosecutions. Those checks had to go somewhere. Or maybe quantify the savings. Otherwise, this probably is just Trump BS.

Agreed. I can’t believe he took it. Total joke.

Hoax. I charge the Tesla every night. Works great. Never a problem.

I believe in paying one’s fair share. You believe in shifting the tax burden to the middle class and hoping wealth trickles down from the super wealthy.

Lots of whataboutism from a MAGA tax and spender. And you vote Republican. Oy. I hope you don’t drive it like the stereotype (flying down the thruway whilst dragging a bumper).

Qatar.

So she’s like Trump, but on a smaller and more secretive scale?

Let’s start with, and implement before anyone talks about territorial concessions, the “severe consequences” that Trump mentioned today. Once we see what they are, we can talk about enhancements. Is this a rule 1 or rule 2 situation from back in the day? I believe it is.

I could. I just wouldn’t want one. Not my style.

You’re right. I won’t. Bootstraps. Don’t you mean pardon him? Or is that just for insurrectionists (and, to be fair, Hunter Biden)?
