It is so disgusting it's beyond all imagination. How many Ukrainian civilians did Putin murder in the last 24 hours? Enough to get some hearty back slapping from Trump.
I’ll keep this quick, because I really I just recorded a very comprehensive breaking news report (above) that I hope you have a chance to watch.
In short, this is not normal diplomacy. It’s subservience. I just watched Donald Trump roll out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin o n American soil while acting like an excited little kid meeting his favorite celebrity. Putin literally laughed in Trump’s face as they rode together in the presidential vehicle, “the Beast,” after shooing away reports for answer basic questions like “Will you stop killing civilians?”
And while Trump was clapping and grinning like a fool, air raid sirens were screaming in Kyiv, signaling incoming Russian missiles and drones. Russian state TV is openly mocking us, bragging about Putin’s joyride through Alaska and Trump getting off Air Force One first, a symbolic act of deference in diplomatic protocol.
Trump isn’t negotiating peace. He’s signaling weakness. He kicked the press out of the room so he could talk to Putin alone. No witnesses, no transparency, no accountability. And when asked about Russia’s continued slaughter of innocent Ukrainians, Trump brushed it off and said, “They’re negotiating.”
This is not “America First.” This is America getting played.
Putin and Trump already both got what they needed out of this farce. The mass murdering war criminal gets a red carpet greeting and very friendly get together with the President of the United States, while Trump gets the news media's attention switched away from Epstein. A big win/win situation for both of them.
And, Trump's already sending out a fundraiser based on it. Great day.
The same people who are "outraged" by this had no problem when obama declared re "Ukraine is a core interest for Moscow, in a way that it is not for the United States… The fact is that Ukraine, which is a non-NATO country, is going to be vulnerable to military domination by Russia no matter what we do. This is an example of where we have to be very clear about what our core interests are, and what we are willing to go to war for" and refuse to send any military aid to Ukraine.
And despite all this they'll still claim Trump, and not Obama, was Putin's puppet.
I don't think that Churchill and FDR (and later Truman) cared all that much for Stalin at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, but they had to suck it up and treat the son of a bitch as a head of state, instead of childishly trying to humiliate him
Please complain about real problems. Yes, Trump has always been better to Putin than he deserves. But leaders being friendly - especially in public - is an ordinary part of diplomacy.
When people make everything an issue, the really critical stuff gets dismissed.
No no no no no. No American leader has ever applauded the appearance of an American adversary. You shake their hand before the negotiation sure. You dont laugh with them on the tarmac. Putin is an international war criminal . Give him a stern face, shake his hand, and get on with it.
No American leader has ever applauded the appearance of an American adversary
Even if true (and I doubt that it is), so what? How did Trump clapping today change anyone’s life for the worse? Honestly, I don’t care if he got on his knees and sucked him off right there on the tarmac. I care about a thousand other things his administration is doing before I would get to how he greets Putin at the airport. Complaining about this is as pointless as when the Right lost its mind over Obama bowing to the Saudi king.
It's not just the clapping. It's the bigger picture. Trump is elevating the status of and allying with a murderous war criminal. Where does that put the standing of our country with our allies and the rest of the world?
Trump is giving Putin exactly what he wants. Humiliating himself and, more importantly, the country.
Trump is elevating the status of and allying with a murderous war criminal.
No he isn’t. Be real. Putin is the president of Russia, not some terrorist warlord from Bumfuckistan. He is important, whether you and I like it or not, and Trump didn’t make him that way.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone with any sense actually expected them to accomplish something.
I mean, they both managed to waste a bunch of money, traveling to a 3-hour meeting in Alaska, when they could have picked up a telephone or had a Zoom. And we’re not talking about Epstein, today, so there’s that.
Putin is the president of Russia, not some terrorist warlord from Bumfuckistan.
Putin is a murderous, imperialistic tyrant with an arrest warrant out for him from the International Criminal Court in The Hague for kidnapping thousands of children from Ukraine.
Probably why he agreed to go to Alaska, because he wouldn't have to fly over Europe.
And Trump fucking laid out a red carpet for him and applauded his arrival.
I half expected them to announce some business opening between Russia and the U.S. Maybe something circumventing some sanctions. As far as anything related to Ukraine, not a chance. I was having a discussion with friends earlier today, the topic came up, and I told them there was no way there would be any kind of deal about Ukraine. Putin is not interested and Trump is incapable.
Yes, Trump is allying with a murderous war criminal. I'm sure you realize that. And Russia is now a third rate power aside from the nuclear weapons. It's basically become a supplicant entity to China.
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
Looks like those on the right have yet to receive their talking points on this non-event punctuated by a news conference that had no questions. Poor Trump, he always likes to toss a bag full of squirrels for hours on end about how poorly his greatness is writ up.
I don't know... When I'm being sarcastic, which is often, I never use the "/s". Even if you hadn't used it, with that comment there is NO WAY I wouldn't have known it was sarcasm.

Bromance in plain sight.
At least it seemed there were thousands of Americans along the roadside waving Ukrainian flags.
Putin wants to see the destruction of the United States and the end of NATO. He and Trump have something in common.
Trump looks like he has 50 pounds on Putin. Too bad its all fat.
Well, he is about 6 inches taller than Putin, so 50 more pounds is not unheard of.
All ass and gut!
50? Try 100.
You are probably right.
Trump is well on his way to winning the Nobel Piece Of Shit Prize.
Trump Meeting with Putin Off to Disastrous Start as Sirens Sound in Kyiv
Completely humiliating

Hi all,
I’ll keep this quick, because I really I just recorded a very comprehensive breaking news report (above) that I hope you have a chance to watch.
In short, this is not normal diplomacy. It’s subservience.

Amazing.
Did Trump go there from a position of strength, or to kiss Putins ass?
What the hell is he doing applauding someone who has killed tens of thousands of people?
Is this man ever going to stop embarrassing our country ?
An International war criminal embraced by Trump on American soil. I really just cannot believe MAGA would have accepted this from Obama or Biden.
Wonder if Palin could see this from her house?
Trump is overmatched every time he talks to Putin.
I don't think that Churchill and FDR (and later Truman) cared all that much for Stalin at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, but they had to suck it up and treat the son of a bitch as a head of state, instead of childishly trying to humiliate him
They were allies fighting a common enemy ... did history bypass you?
You've missed the whole [point..][✘]

Its a free country.
It's not just the clapping. It's the bigger picture. Trump is elevating the status of and allying with a murderous war criminal. Where does that put the standing of our country with our allies and the rest of the world?
Trump is giving Putin exactly what he wants. Humiliating himself and, more importantly, the country.
Is that making us safer?
After having ambushed Zelensky.
Tonight Trump said there is no deal, that Putin wants to get the problem solved, but it's up to Zelensky. Sickening.
He also said Putin advised him on "honest" elections. F'ing unreal.
No he isn’t. Be real. Putin is the president of Russia, not some terrorist warlord from Bumfuckistan. He is important, whether you and I like it or not, and Trump didn’t make him that way.

I don’t disagree with any of that sentiment. But, so what?? What has any of this changed?
I half expected them to announce some business opening between Russia and the U.S. Maybe something circumventing some sanctions. As far as anything related to Ukraine, not a chance. I was having a discussion with friends earlier today, the topic came up, and I told them there was no way there would be any kind of deal about Ukraine. Putin is not interested and Trump is incapable.
Yes, Trump is allying with a murderous war criminal. I'm sure you realize that. And Russia is now a third rate power aside from the nuclear weapons. It's basically become a supplicant entity to China.
Well, Trump continues to grovel and be humiliated by Putin. So, nothing has changed there.
As is obvious in the top picture of Trump meeting Zelenskyy just above?
Ah.....a voice of reason! Some people don't get the diplomacy thingy
Everyone is saying it was the greatest meeting in history. There's never been a better meeting. All the details will be released in two weeks.
Trump says that, and the cult obediently chants it until the next thing that he says is the greatest ever.
Come on now. You know that when Trump says anything he always tells us: "Everyone is saying..."
Fox News reporter says Putin steamrolled Trump
-
Putin went back to Russia already, but he forgot to take Trump.
The Russians canceled the lunch that was supposed to take place afterwards.
They don't serve borscht and blinis on U.S. Air Force bases.
Looks like those on the right have yet to receive their talking points on this non-event punctuated by a news conference that had no questions. Poor Trump, he always likes to toss a bag full of squirrels for hours on end about how poorly his greatness is writ up.
Wow, trump negotiated the hell out Putin............................... /s
I don't know... When I'm being sarcastic, which is often, I never use the "/s". Even if you hadn't used it, with that comment there is NO WAY I wouldn't have known it was sarcasm.
