@georgetakei They would have throne eggs at JD, but those have gotten too expensive to waste on MAGAphones like Vance.

Tim Miller gets it, while JD betrays human decency & flunks the empathy test, again.
JD, did nobody at Yale teach you about dangling participles? It was so kind of those Ukraine supporters to take your daughter for a walk, but you don’t need to make her sound like a dog.
I am very sorry for all Americans who voted for #KamalaHarris.
I'm not sorry for everyone who didn't vote.
And I really hope for everyone who voted for #Trump that it will hurt a lot.
Dear USA, your image as "the good guys" in the world is dead for good.
What your president is pulling off will do lasting damage to the USA.
You have made it possible and allowed everything that the USA has stood for to be destroyed within 2 months.
You can no longer be relied on and you will go down with Trump, because isolationism, fighting against friends/allies, trampling on democracy, that can't be good. Farewell.
Zelensky once wore a fine suit when he signed a 2019 ceasefire agreement with Putin. Unfortunately, that didn't help at all. Putin unilaterally broke the agreement and attacked Ukraine.
#Zelenskyj trug einst einen feinen Anzug als er ein #Waffenstillstandsabkommen 2019 mit #Putin unterzeichnete. Das nützte leider gar nichts. Putin brach einseitig das Abkommen und griff die #Ukraine an.

Of the many bizarre & uncomfortable moments during today’s Oval Office meeting between #Trump, #JDVance, & Volodymyr #Zelensky — during which Trump finally shattered the American #alliance w/ #Ukraine — one was particularly revealing: What, a reporter asked, would happen if the #ceasefire Trump is trying to negotiate were to be violated by #Russia?

The extraordinary scene in Washington — in which #Trump & #JDVance lambasted President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine — was broadcast as the top story on state television [#RT] in #Russia on Saturday morning. It played into 3 years of Kremlin #propaganda casting Zelensky as a foolhardy ruler who would sooner or later exhaust the patience of his Western backers.
”Zelensky maintained his composure and did not rise to the bait, but he did not accept their [Trump & Vance’s] pro-Russian version of the war. He insisted that it was in fact Russia that invaded Ukraine and is still bombing and killing on a daily basis. His refusal to sit silent and submit meekly to their attack seemed to infuriate them.”

”In front of the cameras, Trump and Vance engaged in…a “mob hit,” spouting Russian propaganda and trying to bully Zelensky into accepting a ceasefire and signing over rights to Ukrainian rare-earth minerals without guarantees of security. Vance, especially, seemed determined to provoke a fight in front of the cameras, accusing Zelensky, who has been lavish in his thanks to the U.S. and lawmakers including Trump, of being ungrateful.”

”…Trump ambushed Ukraine president…Zelensky in an attack that seemed designed to give the White House an excuse for siding with Russia in its war on Ukraine. … J.D. Vance joined Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office—his attendance at such an event was unusual—in front of reporters. Those reporters included one from Russian state media, but no one from the Associated Press or Reuters, who were not granted access.”

#MarcoRubio said that #Zelensky’s remarks to #JDVance were “making the argument that peace is not possible” because #Putin “can’t be trusted, & you’re just wasting your time on negotiations.” That is “undermining everything [#Trump] has told him he’s trying to do.”
Rubio, who has excoriated Putin for YEARS as a #WarCriminal, killer, monster, & clear aggressor in #Ukraine, said: “I’m not going to fall into this trap of who is bad & who’s evil. People can make those conclusions.”
During his interview on FauxNews, #Ukraine President #Zelensky said he didn’t know whether the confrontation w/ #Trump & #JDVance was a planned ambush, as some have suggested. “It was just a really tough situation,” he said.
Zelensky said it was “not good for both sides.” (A leader who can admit personal errors,what?)
So, #Ukraine President #Zelensky just appeared on #FauxNews after #Trump & #JDVance full-on attacked him in the Oval Office earlier today.
He started his interview w/ (formerly somewhat reasonable) #BretBaier by AGAIN thanking the American people for supporting Ukraine in its war w/ #Russia. “You helped us to survive,” he says.
