Thank you for this discussion. I believe Trump keeps Elon around because of his ownership of X and his bottomless pockets of money. They are both benefiting financially from their collaborations.
Joe quoting Mitch McConnell “it’s good because … and also it Ends up with a bunch of dead Russians” These kind of statements make my blood run cold. (And I know he was quoting McConnell) What is up with men - why are lives not worth anything if they’re on the ‘wrong’ side. I just can’t!!! Someday WOKE will mean that all lives are obviously valued. To everyone.
Can we please finally stop pretending like Trump is playing some kind of 4D chess? This was a narcissistic bender on full display by the POTUS. Trump is ruling like a mob boss. His cabinet and the GOP caucus of Congress have not and will not stand up to him. They deserve to be called out all day every day.
That meeting today made me cry. I hate the way they treated President Zelenskyy. I could barely watch. I’m so embarrassed to be American today. Thank y’all for discussing.
Vance really brought the immature bully awful dad energy with all his “have you said thank you, have you even said thank you????” That was traumatizing for a kid raised catholic🤮WOW On a lighter note, Beth have you tried a Hatch light for your daughter? Might ease the morning wake up - but never quit the storytelling!!! What lucky kids to have such thoughtful and engaged parents !! When they are adults you will have so many “remember how you woke me up for school with a tall tale?”….
This was such a show and I am so sorry that President Zalensky had to be a part of it. This is "our" President so we have to own this. If we had any questions before today, America is officially on the team of the bad guy. The bad guy "with cards" not the "good guy" who was attacked for not having any cards. Is there nothing Europe can do in our absence?
I love the collab between The Bulwark and Pantsuit Politics—my two favorites! I appreciate the information and perspective…even if it’s such an awful tragedy.

So glad to see this here because I needed a moment after watching this meeting! I truly thought to myself, “Trump sounds like a confused old man.”

Definitely falls into the category of, “Things that make you go…🤦🏼♀️.”

The weaponizing gratitude hit me too - it’s all too common in many Christian circles! UGH.
Came to substack to mourn and rage this exchange and so appreciated there’s already words from y’all about it
Felt sick to my stomach watching it

So glad I was able to catch this. But ugh…. It’s just getting worse and worse.
