I think that if your spouse cheats on you you should seriously consider divorcing them, but not cut off their head.
So according to you guys, 2 people who are accused of committing adultery (sex where one or both people are married to someone else) in a mosque in Mecca should not be beheaded? So you would be okay if your husband/wife fucks someone else in mosque because they are poor & horny

I just love this one: "Ukraine, don't antagonize Trump." Listen -- from the very first day of his return to the White House (and even long before that), Ukraine has indulged his every whim and gone along with every one of his insane plans. It has dutifully catered to his grotesque craving for the most nauseating flattery and joined everyone else in massaging his monstrous ego, singing in chorus the praises of his incredible leadership, talent, power, and divine beauty. Ukraine, and Zelensky himself in particular, has turned a blind eye to and endured countless humiliations, insulting antics, idiotic outbursts on Truth Social, and hysterical spectacles like the Oval Office showdown. Ukraine has unfailingly supported 100% of his ridiculous, nonsensical, and downright idiotic imaginary "ceasefires," which Putin couldn't have given less of a damn about. And yet Ukraine had to listen, over and over again, to accusations that it "doesn't want peace," responding to every such outrage with yet more praise for Trump and bending over backward to appease him, desperate not to give him the slightest excuse to accuse it of being "uncooperative." Meanwhile, Putin has spent all this time amusing himself, making a complete fool of Trump in front of the entire world, and openly spitting on every one of his frantic diplomatic maneuvers. We've been living in this madhouse, where night has become day and day has become night, for almost two years now. And what? How's that working out? What has all of this accomplished? More slaps in the face, and ultimately, Donald Trump's complete and final betrayal and his active decision to side with the Russian aggressor. And somehow it's Ukraine that's "antagonizing" someone? At least have the decency to stop hiding behind this laughable victim-blaming and your invented alternate realities, and just come out and say it: "Just fucking die, all of you Ukrainians, so our idol can line his pockets with Kremlin money."

Russia wants peace, Ukraine wants war, Russia is helping us and Ukraine is hurting us by daring to defend itself. Also, we must be nice to Russia or it will help Iran.

Indeed. This is required context for Trump's capitulation, along W Bush's "I was able to get a sense of [Putin's] soul", Obama's "Reset" & his "red line" in Syria that Assad and Putin danced across, and Biden's "as long as it takes" can kicking. Dictators only attack weakness.
As a pragmatic political economist, I understand how irrelevant this point is to President Trump's thinking. But long-term, of course, walking away from the promises that the US government explicitly and prominently did has a huge cost in the future deals. Reputation matters.

Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later.
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power. kyivindependent.com/what-russias-d… kyivindependent.com/russian-drone-… kyivindependent.com/russia-strikes…

At the funeral of one of the Ukrainian kids murdered by Russians this week, while the U.S. hobbled the country's defenses. Elizaveta Sorochyshyna, age 6. Relatives and friends left stuffed toys near her coffin. Elizaveta was one of three children among the 23 people killed by russians that day.

One of the bizarro rules in MAGA world is that Trump is allowed to post the rudest, most insulting, juvenile, sometimes downright cruel shit about whoever he likes, but the moment anyone else even mildly criticises Trump back they are somehow being outrageously disrespectful
Perhaps he should focus on working with President Trump on ending the war instead of trolling him on social media…

Zelensky spent YEARS trying to work with Trump, trying to appease him, even when he was saying the dumbest shit imaginable, in the hope that it would make him behave reasonably. What did that get him? Trump stabbed him in the back and sided with the tyrant anyway

Basic point: if you’re OK with Trump constantly behaving like a massive piece of shit to other leaders, you don’t get to clutch your pearls the moment any other leader stops showing perfect decorum to him in return. That’s ridiculous

Trump has really accelerated his homoerotic rhetoric lately, which is a good reminder to read @AshleyRParker on "The King of Queens" theatlantic.com/politics/202…

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph. The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries. ‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement. But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe. The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown. ‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

Fuck you and Ukraine. Name one thing Russia did to harm the U.S. and its people in the past two decades.

Zelensky followed the sensible advice of pro-Ukraine Republicans -- flattered and thanked Trump, agreed to all his crazy ideas (like the mineral deal), praised peace talks that were obviously going nowhere. And still got screwed. So not sure what he's supposed to do here.
How is this helpful to Ukraine?
