There is no realistic reason that Trump should be at the center of any peace negotiations. Trump lacks the diplomacy and frankly the character to carry out such negotiations because such negotiations are NOT transactional in nature. Get Trump out of these negotiations and let leaders

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Now, our defense of positions, our resistance at the front, and joint work with partners for the sake of better diplomatic positions are equally important.

Our team will continue this week to bring the points closer to a form that will lead us on path to peace and security guarantees.

I think it is past time for another country and someone to step up and take over these negotiations. Trump and his cronies obviously have other objectives than Ukraine’s best interests. Who is it that should take over, the EU? the U.N.? a new consortium of countries? There are lots of possibilities.
This smells like outright collusion with Russia to me. Trump shrugs it off as what a dealmaker does: sell the plan to Ukraine, sell the plan to Russia. He says “we must end this war” and thinks he deserves the Nobel Prize??? Not if it's at the cost of Ukraine’s sovereignty.

And, apparently he drove all this way with a handgun and 4 (count them 4) bullets!
I have to ask this question. If this guy was so upset that he wanted to shoot some National Guardsmen why did he drive all the way from Washington state to D.C. to do it? There are lots of National Guardsmen closer to where he was. Question everything!

Along with the release of 5,000 Taliban many of whom now run the government of Afghanistan! Who is it that is releasing murderers and rapists from prison? Trump!
FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

And Trump 2.0 was/ is currently processing the “presumed” shooter for a green card.
From start to death. All republicans
A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Good question. Why are we not talking about the names of the white guys that tried to “assassinate” the pedo felon. We know everything about pervious presidential association attempts. In DETAILS.

There were about 150 million people who voted for Harris or didn’t vote. And 150 million times $10.00 (just $10) is still 1.5 trillion dollars. 1.5 trillion minus 270 million (or what Musk spent for Trump) is still 1.23 trillion dollars. Together we are strong!

In the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 the U.S., the U.K. and Russia made security assurances and pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, and NOT threaten or use force against Ukraine. Trump’s 28-point peace plan includes security assurances from the U.S. Is there any reason Ukraine should believe it?

Remember that phrase we all learned growing up, “innocent until proven guilty”? We don’t know and can’t know until the legal process plays out if the suspect apprehended actually shot the 2 guardsmen. Nor do we have any idea of what the motive for the shooting was. It’s

This is NOT something under Trump’s purview to change. It is probably under the control of the National ParkService and other committees who should be doing everything that can be done before Trump brings in the heavy equipment and we lose another national treasure!
This is how much #47 cares about Americans and the country's best interests to help people.

He doesn't...at all.

Trump says he will “fix” the reflecting pool. No sign on a healthcare fix yet though.

We have got to develop a way, whether it is through education or some kind of Snopes service or something else NOT AI, that we can discern truth from lies. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking a step back and considering the surrounding facts. Sometimes it’s a lot harder. But we all need this NOW!

We have truly entered another dimension, one beyond anything rational, moral or intelligent. Musk said not long ago that there aren’t enough babies being born but what Trump, Musk, et al have brought us to is a world in which we’re going to have are millions ravaged and killed by diseases.
