1. Ty, World!

[Scrivener7]

2. Have Democratic leaders been on TV doing the same yet?

[bluestarone]

8. Haven't heard much.

Pretty disappointing.

[paleotn]

9. Guess you missed this.

[Scrivener7]

19. No. I saw that report that two Senators wrote tweets. I asked if Democratic leaders were

on TV joining their voices to the voices of other world leaders. I depend on my party to voice OUR disgust.

[Hekate]

21. Busted!

[Kingofalldems]

32. Darn, I missed it!

[Scrivener7]

24. You know, our Democracy is crashing. Forgive me for thinking 2 tweets is an insufficient public response

to the moment in which we lose the respect and support and alliance of the entire world.

[paleotn]

26. You're not forgiven.

And I stand by my statement. If there were hundreds of TV interviews, you'd still pick them apart.

[Scrivener7]

28. That was a figure of speech. And you give an interesting response. Because there were NOT

TV interviews. There should have been. Instead, there were two tweets. As the world rightfully turns its back on us, our voice of opposition is silent. Oh, yeah. Except for the tweets. That's the point.

[notinkansas]

44. Say what?

[Cirsium]

29. Well....

That is pretty easy to miss. Pretty mild reaction.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, Chris Coons, and Amy Klobuchar and other Democratic and Republican senators gathered for an hourlong "encouraging" meeting with Zelenskyy ahead of his visit to the White House, the three lawmakers posted on their social media accounts.

After Zelenskyy's fiery exchange with Trump and Vance in the Oval Office, Klobuchar and Coons defended the Ukrainian president on X -- particularly the moment where Vance accused Zelensky of being "disrespectful" toward his American hosts.

"Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you," Klobuchar wrote.

31. This is better

“What we just witnessed between Donald Trump, JD Vance, and President Zelenskyy inside the White House was an ambush. It was a planned ambush designed to embarrass President Zelenskyy in order to benefit Vladimir Putin.” - Sen. Chris Murphy

“The behavior of President Trump and Vice President Vance towards President Zelensky is shocking, disrespectful, and un-American” - Rep. Diana Degette

“Today, I watched in horror as Trump and Vance shamefully echoed Kremlin propaganda to the leader of our ally, Ukraine." - Rep. Jerry Nadler

"It's distressing to see that the president of the United States is walking away from our commitment in Ukraine, and doesn't seem to understand what a murderous dictator Vladimir Putin is." - Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

“This is not diplomacy. This is closer to a tantrum. Trump and Vance berating our allies like (Zelenskyy) while cozying up to dictators like Putin, is a disgrace but not a surprise.”- Rep. LaMonica McIver

"Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine." — Governor Tim Walz

“Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators.” - Rep. Eric Swalwell

“Let’s cut to the chase: The president of the United States is a coward who is Vladimir Putin’s puppet,” Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps officer, told CNN. “And the vice president of the United States is a pogue and a coward who is Donald Trump’s puppet.” “Whether you voted for these puppets or not, just as an American, as a fellow American, it’s just embarrassing that the only hero in the Oval Office, the only decent human being, for that matter, is the Ukrainian,” Moulton said. “I mean, this administration is going to go down as an embarrassment in American history.”

“A sickening, appalling, dark day in American history,” said Democratic congresswoman Yassamin Ansari. “Trump and Vance are fundamentally transforming the United States in the most horrific ways — now clearly a fascist, authoritarian oligarchy that abandons our longstanding allies in support of the world’s worst dictators.”

Democratic Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs committee, said he watched “the supposed leader of the free world throw a temper tantrum in the Oval Office.” Trump’s behavior “is just the latest in a string of alarming gestures” towards Putin in “a dangerous pattern of deference to a dictator who seeks to undermine democracy worldwide,” Meeks said.

Democratic Senator Jack Reed, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the meeting a “political ambush and a shameful failure of American leadership.” “President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine are fighting for their very lives and existence,” he said. “Unlike Donald Trump or JD Vance, I have traveled to Ukraine and seen firsthand the death and destruction wrought by Vladimir Putin against innocent people. To mock Ukraine and our allies is a travesty that only benefits Putin.”

Most elected Democrats have spoken out. Unfortunately, The media is generally ignoring them.

[70sEraVet]

15. Sorry, but the question should be, 'Have REPUBLICAN leaders been on TV'!!

THEY'RE the ones who have been voting to confirm these completely unqualified and sorry-assed candidates to Cabinet positions. THEY'RE the ones who have silently watched an unvetted, unappointed, semi-deranged billionaire wreaking havoc throughout our federal programs.
Are ANY of THEM going to speak up???

[Scrivener7]

18. That is A question. But mine is different. I want to know that MY party is broadcasting OUR disgust far and wide.

[Hekate]

22. Busted again!

[Scrivener7]

25. Glad you're finding it amusing that I asked what our party's public response is to the moment

when the world rightfully turns its back on us.

[Cirsium]

30. Vance

Vance was not confirmed by Republican Senators. Nor was Musk.

We hold the Democrats to a higher standard, though, don't we?

[MLWR]

48. You have to wait until Sunday morning.

There will be any number of them on the Sunday morning versions of "Meet the republiCON," all defending their lord and master, who has fewer diplomatic skills than roadkill.

[Wingus Dingus]

3. Take the torch, guys. Lady Liberty is almost done.

[Docreed2003]

4. I stand with the rest of the world.

The country I served has become the bad guy, acting in service to an autocrat against democracy and freedom.

[Sneederbunk]

5. European countries should liquidate 300 billion in Russian frozen assets

and give to Ukraine.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Exactly, time to stop mickey mousing around and get real asap.

Pull out all the stops to prevent Russia and the US from destroying Ukraine.
I am so ashamed of my country.

[paleotn]

10. Absolutely. It's time.

[Solly Mack]

7. Good.

[TomSlick]

11. NATO is over, at least as we knew it.

The US has withdrawn from the world. The countries of Europe are on their own. They need to do what must be done to defend Ukraine before they have to fight Putin on their own soil.

[RainCaster]

36. NATO has merely changed. The US is out

Know what this means? All the US military industries will be missing out as Europe gears up to destroy Putin.

[TomSlick]

43. We're saying the same thing. NATO led by the US will cease exist.

The US will cease to be a world power. The US military-industrial complex will whither.

The new NATO will have to defend itself against Russia. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, NATO will be fighting Russia on its own soil. The economies of Europe will have to shift to a war-time footing.

World war seems inevitable. Russia will eventually be stopped, its economy cannot sustain a war against Europe. But the costs in blood and treasure will be staggering.

12. Tariffs are gonna go up even more! You can't criticize VonSchitzInPants.

[gordianot]

13. I like those cards.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Impeach Krasnov.

[mdbl]

16. We deserve to be isolated

since we are now part of the new axis of evil.

[mcar]

17. This is heartening

Thank you.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Everyone else gets it. We the People are in a quandary of untold proportions. Not betting on this.

[OverBurn]

33. The rest of the world should put sanctions and tariffs on our sorry asses. Make us suffer.

[Xavier Breath]

35. Thank goodness our longtime, good friends in Russia and North Korea are standing with us.

[Meowmee]

37. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you 😁

[mn9driver]

38. In the right wing universe, today was just a regular day.

Trump and Musk still doing a great jobs, democrats still evil sex change fiends, Zelensky in town for some sort of meeting.

I shit you not. Fox, NewsMax and OANN barely mention it. I have no idea what it will take to pierce that information bubble.

[Dave Bowman]

39. Well that's refreshing with all the bad news.

[pattyloutwo]

40. Thank you

42. Paging Five Eyes

If you happen to have any inside info on the secret meetings or calls between the Orange Menace and Vladdy the Conquerer that the public might be interested in, please consider finding a way to covertly make it available to the broader public.

Thank you.

[Blue_Roses]

45. Fives Eyes is what countries?

Europe. US and who else?

[muriel_volestrangler]

46. "Five Eyes" is Anglophone countries - USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (nt)

[Blue_Roses]

53. Thanks!

[krkaufman]

47. My favorite...

“We stand with Ukraine and on the side of the free world!”

[liberalla]

50. I'm glad to see this, but didn't we know there'd be a backlash like this from around the world?

I sure thought so! The attack or ambush was so poorly performed, and was obvious it'd been pre-planned for the benefit of a very small, select audience. I also think a good number of Americans - a majority - were also repulsed by the phony staged fight.

It was a failure for the Felonious Fool and his silly sidekick shady...

Thank you World!

[SamKnause]

51. Thank you world !!!

[Cha]

52. I've been waiting for something like this!
