I believe that the POS in Chief had multiple goals for this meeting.

First, there's no way that he would ever provide Ukraine with security guarantees against Russia. That was never going to happen. The POS might have believed that he could bully Zelenskyy into signing a business deal for rare earth metals because of Ukraine's need for aid. But, as the BBC asked regarding this meeting, what was Ukraine going to get in return? Nothing but US business operations inside Ukraine's borders. IMO, that would be very risky for Ukraine. It would give the POS in Chief an excuse to place US security people inside Ukraine whose loyalties would be the same as the POSIC -- with Russia.

Second, in the event that Zelenskyy did sign the agreement, POSIC might actually have believed that he'd get a Nobel Peace Prize for brokering a deal between Russia and Ukraine.

Third, as the BBC pointed out this whole meeting with cameras rolling was like a reality TV show. IMO, it was deliberately staged to gain political support in the US for turning against Ukraine if Zelenskyy did not agree to the POSIC's extortion terms. Without agreement, they could then gang up on Zelenskyy with the usual MAGAt gish gallop to try to publicly humiliate Zelenskyy to the world.

But, IMO, they failed to humiliate Zelenskyy. He stood strong as the only man of courage in the room. He deserves honors for standing his ground in asking what Ukraine would get in a peace deal.

The POSIC uses extortion to "negotiate." He's nothing but a crime family thug who uses the props of the presidency to carry out his criminal behavior. We've been down this road with him before regarding Ukraine. This kind of quid pro quo extortion is what got him impeached the first time.

Zelenskyy loses nothing by standing firm on everything he said regarding the need for security against Russia and the unreliability of Russian negotiations. If he agrees with the POSIC'S attempt to extort Ukraine's rare earth metals, Ukraine will be owned by both the US POSIC and by Putin. Putin will be allowed to hold onto the land it has stolen and the children it has kidnapped. The POSIC will benefit from the rare earth metals profits which Ukraine would need for itself, for rebuilding.

In other words, for Ukraine -- and for the rest of Europe -- negotiating with the US today is just as unreliable as negotiating with Russia. They'd better recognize this pretty damn quickly and start working with each other.

I had to stop watching because it was so ugly and disgusting. Total set-up...

They had the guy pinned in a corner, in front of cameras, two against one, knowing he could not just get up and leave or tell them both to fuck off.
They displayed base behavior of bullies -- gangsters really. "Nice country you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it."
They were arm-twisting to get Z to capitulate to all THEIR terms -- total surrender to Russia and forfeiture of $500,000,000 in resources to the U.S. by threats of WWIII annihilation and intimidation.
Everything they said were prepared, scripted talking-points.
Everything they said were Russian propaganda talking-points.
Everything they said was meant to impress one person -- Putin -- to blow smoke up his ass.
Everything they said was intended to belittle, berate, disrespect, and humiliate this President of a sovereign nation.
Their insistence that he wasn't showing enough gratitude or "respect" was right out of the Sopranos.
They wanted him to grovel, beg, and kiss their ass.
They wanted to impose their DOMINANCE, like dogs.
Their behavior was the only thing disrespectful in that exchange.

They are willing to talk with him again "only if he's ready seeks peace". How magnanimous!

189. 'PeePee Tape' 'Kompromat'
Sat Mar 1, 2025, 02:46 AM
Mar 2025

I've not seen any independent deep-dive reporting about this in several years or whether it's been debunked - but extortion and blackmail worthy information is pretty powerful stuff - named 'Kompromat'.

I'm personally not into baseless conspiracy theories, but rather, know realistically that those folks under certain duress, fear, potential embarrassment and public humiliation often a) capitulate, or if severe enough b) carry out self-harm (i.e., suicide) and homicides.

If I recall correctly, the 'Steele Dossier' mentions existence of a video, referred to as 'The PeePee Tape', supposedly documenting a young trump (pre-Presidency), cavorting with Russian female sex workers in a 'golden showers' type of romp. If this tape does not exist, or no longer exists, then one can only imagine - but if it does exist then, a) at least 2 people know and, b) an individual could be coerced to undertake extraordinary measures to ensure such a tape is not released.

That meeting will not age well and it will do major damage to Trump and Vance.

(I just woke up on the couch after watching some basketball last night.)

Zelenskyy has major game. Not only wouldn’t he fall for their bullshit arguments but he called
Vance J.D. to his face. Not Mr. Vice President.

Trump tried to blame Hunter’s laptop for the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.” Even though
the laptop scandal happened after the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax” was first exposed.

J. D. Guy-Liner told Zelenskyy he was trying to litigate this on television even though Trump
Vance, and shits like Stephen Miller set it all up to be a T.V. friendly production to show Trump’s
“art of the deal skills” which blew up in their faces and Trump and Vance were shown to be
the frauds that they are.

Trump called Rare Earth Minerals, Raw Earth Materials. He is out to lunch. End of story.

My God! That was the most embarrassing performance by a US president since Rump's humiliating presser with Putin in Helsinki!

Death to the tyrant is much too good for him. He needs to suffer, long and painfully. Kind of like Mr. Zelenskyy and his people have suffered. Only for trump make it ten fold. And no anesthesia. He needs to feel every bit of the angst and agony inflicted on the Ukrainians. With no end in sight and no way to end it all.

I hope there is an after life where a reckoning will take place. If there is ANY Justice left, let it happen to tRump.

Trump disgraced himself and the United States with his Tony Soprano performance. An act of retribution and ego. Unless Zelensky kisses the feet of Agent Orange and/or Mr. Eyeliner, he will find no favor with His Excellency.

I suspect this was a deliberate ambush to humiliate Zelensky and please the True Boss, Putin.

Because Trump must always humiliate to make himself to feel big. And he must always please Vlad.

Then, Lindsey Graham saying he's never been more proud of Trump and tossing around the word irredeemable in reference to Zelensky?

He can go straight to Hell.

The truly irredeemable are the likes of Lindsey Graham and the Republican Party.

The EU offered Zelenskyy a deal for the minerals, I want Zelenskyy to take that deal which will indirectly tell the “deal maker” to fk off

Zelenskyy who has sacrificed his people for 3 years now to fight off Putin doesn’t deserve to be humiliated like this.

I have never, ever, ever seen a display like that. It was disgraceful. God I hope there's really a thing called karma.

Zelinsky responded in a courageous fashion and didn't let the bastard and his toady get away with their bullying. He's a hero.

tsf and vance thought they'd get Zelenskyy to capitulate and agree to their terms. Fortunately, Zelenskyy was having none of that, or of the bullying and hectoring. Once again, Zelenskyy proved to be heroic in resisting the two fuckers. Also that asshole who asked Zelenskyy why he wasn't wearing a suit.

Can I seek political asylum in another country?

150. I was in a therapy session

Because like millions of Americans, I’m in therapy because it’s the only way that I can deal with this nightmare that keeps unfolding — In addition to doing the work I need to do. Anyway, I emerged from it to the coverage and sat here with my mouth open, and tears streaming. And this deep abiding shame of being an American right now

about the meeting: she said she was physically ill watching it

I've been watching Nicole Wallace and she just had Susan Rice on the program who was spot on analyzing not only the intent and dynamics of the meeting, but also how it fits with the disruption and destruction of the US government by Trump (and his Muskrat, my words). There is no question that Trump is a puppet of Putin.

I'd really like to go outside and yell 'Fuck that sack of orange $hit.' but I won't.

Two of them believe they are smarter than the third and feel they can bully the third man.

Europe, please put the USA on your enemies list.
Just below Russia.

Maybe within our country. Maybe from outside our country.


To answer your essential question, I am seething.

They are proposing to take a chunk of the rare minerals from Ukraine FOREVER, in exchange for . . . basically nothing. Even a mobster protectionist shakedown involves actual protection.

I find myself running out the same ones and, honestly, they aren't quite bad enough. I need the worst of the worst.

That display was the opposite of statesmanlike. It was completely atrocious.

Fuck those assholes, all of them.

Another poster put out the email. emb_us@mfa.gov.ua

I have never sent such a thing, but I was so enraged and embarrassed by 'my' president's behavior.

178. I cannot stop thinking about my dear father, who bravely served as a battlefield medic

in the Battle of the Bulge, the largest and bloodiest single battle fought by the United States in World War II.

His unit also helped liberate Buchenwald Concentration Camp. I can’t stop thinking about my dear husband who served honorably in the Air Force working on our nation’s missile defense. Both of them have passed and I know that my horror at what I saw disgustingly unfold in the Oval Office could never compare to what they would be feeling. I am sickened beyond words!!!

… that none of the media is characterizing the so-called “peace talks” with Russia sans any Ukrainian participation as what it is, collaboration between Ukraine’s enemies. We’re on the side of the “bad guys”, now.

Little Donny's treatment at the hands of his tyrant daddy Fred is well documented. ANYONE who interprets that pathetic display as "strength" is as f 'ed up as he is.
