Summary
Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.
His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.
Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.
While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.
Absolutely fucking disgusting. This idiot has basically destroyed western geopolitics in a matter of weeks.
This idiot or the 77 million idiots that voted for him for second term?
Yeah the 77 idiots that voted for this are just as responsible. I’m going to go further and blame anyone who posted or memed pro trump shit. I’m never letting my dad forget how much of an idiot he is for supporting this shit.
It’s almost as if we should require IQ testing for candidates. And you know, maybe don’t let felon rapists run for office.
Look, I get your sentiment, but we’ve been over this sort of thing. If we let that happen, this is the sort of shit that the fascists would implement (and put themselves in charge of scoring, which would certainly result in their allies passing and everyone else failing):
The most amazing(ly vile) one is using the tendency of our minds to skip over “the the” as if it’s an IQ test.
Well that and the whole idea of using this stupid collection of badly worded instructions to “determine” a human’s worthiness.
“Determine” with the assistance of that family guy “OKAY / NOT OKAY” card.
That is an outrageous test, there are like 5 questions that could be construed in multiple ways. Hopefully you don’t lose points for explaining your reasoning…
Oh you sweet, summer child. Read the instructions:
“Do what you are told to do in each statement, nothing more, nothing less.”
If you try to explain, you already failed.
Also, by the way, this is the grading rubric:
(This is not hyperbole. This is how it actually worked in Louisiana in 1964.)
you have 10 minutes and the people grading you don’t want you to pass.
What kind of place takes pride in its absurdly high illiteracy rates, and seemingly does everything possible to maintain them?
(I’m guessing a racist one)
White people either weren’t given this test, or were given a passing grade regardless of what they did.
Why wouldn’t someone not want you to pass? Makes no sense
Because they’re racist and you’re black.
That’s it, that’s the real, whole reason. This test was actually used, back in 1964 in Louisiana. This is how black people were disenfranchised.
Aah, racism. I knew I was missing something.
The test was given to uneducated people, and they had to pass it to be allowed to vote.
The test was worded ambiguously on purpose, so the people grading it could decide who gets to pass.
The people grading it were election officials in Louisiana.
You can guess what skin color they had, and what skin color the people who usually “failed” the test had.
You got ten minutes to do all of it, not sure you’re explaining anything.
Even attempting to explain violates the instructions and is thus an insta-fail. Clearly, you do not understand what “nothing more, nothing less” means and are therefore illiterate and ineligible to vote, according to this test.
“They’re eating the dogs” wasn’t enough of an IQ test?
We need a cleaner media environment. The current one is fucked.
Agree in concept.
However making Felons/Rapist unable is an easy way for Trump to stop competition. All he needs is a conviction for his opponents in the courts he owns.
IQ testing for voters.
Or maybe just give a shit about primary education and raise the iq of the voting populous above that of the common slug.
Hey let’s maybe not try to fix ignorance with eugenics
Agreed on all points, and I’m absolutely not surprised.
