I am glad the CDC fiasco is getting attention, but something else happened

[senseandsensibility]

today that is also very important. Erin Burnett actually led off with it on her show. Today Russia conducted its second deadliest strike on Ukraine, killing twenty-one civilians

Guess trump really laid down the law to putin, right? In fact, Erin is emphasizing that trump is silent about all this, even as putin ignores him and shows no sign of agreeing to the much bally-hooed "meeting" with Zelensky either.

The correspondent said that trump was "frustrated" and that's why he hasn't spoken about today's attack.

1. Thank you for this

Media, as usual, has trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.

[senseandsensibility]

2. The last few days have been crazy even

by maga standards.

[JI7]

3. Trump probably gave Putin info

[gab13by13]

4. Where I get my news,

the people knew that whatever nasty things Krasnov said about Putin was Kabuki Theater.

Krasnov wouldn't dare say anything about Russia that didn't come from Putin.

[Takket]

5. "i'm frustrated"

said the man who has grifted billions of dollars from his country and lives in the white house and has everything he wants right at his fingertips at the taxpayers expense while Ukrainians are suffering at the hands of a genocidal maniac.

[BOSSHOG]

6. I guess Epstein has been swept away

Can we like multi task or something?

[IcyPeas]

9. Okay vladimir..... I'll give you one more chance... and then...

I'll give you one more chance after that. I mean it now. C'mon pal do it for ME, your FAVORITE PRESIDENT and best friend DONALD.

[sop]

10. Trump's too busy turning the Oval Office into Liberace's boudoir to care about Ukraine, or the CDC.

[calimary]

16. Yeah, that's a good way to describe it.

Has to be surrounded by lots of golden swirls and flourishes. It all looks like a big gaudy golden shower to me.

[enigmania]

19. Brings to mind the old saw: If my dog looked

like that, I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards!

11. Missile strikes on Ukrainian capital hit EU and British Council offices in deadliest assault in months

Obviously targeted on purpose - to show the world how weak Trump is and how Putin owns him.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/28/uk-summons-russian-ambassador-over-british-council-missile-damage-in-kyiv

The UK and European Union have summoned their Russian envoys after overnight missile strikes on Kyiv killed at least 21 people and damaged the city’s British Council and EU offices, in the deadliest aerial assault on the Ukrainian capital since the Alaska summit between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Four children were among those killed after a residential building in the eastern Darnytskyi district was struck in the middle of the night, according to Ukraine’s interior minister, Ihor Klymenko.

Hours later, another person died in a separate blast in Kyiv’s central Shevchenkivskyi district, which left the buildings and offices severely damaged, including those housing the EU delegation to Ukraine and the British Council.

The incident marks the first time British government property has been caught up in a Russian attack since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

12. Trump has given up on Ukraine-Russia

Trump knows only about real estate deals with a motivated buyer and a motivated seller.

He has discovered that a deal on this case would take a LOT of work that he is not willing to do, so, he’s walking away from it.

And there goes his Nobel Prize up in smoke.

[leftieNanner]

13. WORK????

Hahahaha! He has never worked a day in his life!

[mountain grammy]

14. Yes. Both stories on network news

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Time for a 500% tariff against Ukraine. nt

[spanone]

17. I think trmp has washed his hands of Ukraine.

It hasn't happened quick enough for him and he's totally incompetent when it comes to negotiations.

[calimary]

21. He can spend all day washing his hands but he'll never get them clean.

Too much dirt and mud and muck and slime and deception will coat them for the rest of his miserable life.

[spanone]

22. TRUTH

[Hornedfrog2000]

18. You better do what i say in 2 weeks,

Or ok, now this next 2 weeks or im super serious! Ok ok another 2 weeks! You better cease firing or else. Man he is so strong

[ShazzieB]

23. This whole "I can make them stop fighting and get a prize for it!" thing is a complete farce.

It's laughable that Schlump ever thought he could pull this off. It's not just that he lacks negotiation skills, which would be bad enough. The real problem is that he has absolutely no comprehension of any of the issues involved, including the following:

1. This whole thing is all Putin's fault for illegally invading a sovereign nation in the first place.

2. NO, Donald, you ignorant twit, ceding ANY of their country's territory is NOT an idea that is acceptable to Zelensky or his people, in any way, shape, or form.

3. Even if that idea WAS acceptable to them, the Ukrainians know full well that no promise Putin makes will ever be kept for more than 5 consecutive minutes. If they give up any territory now, Putin will be back later trying to grab some more, and some more after that, rinse and repeat until there's nothing left.

4. What Ukraine wants (and deserves) is for Putin to just fucking stop and go away and leave them the hell alone -- after giving back the terrorory he's stolen from them.

5. What Russia wants is Ukraine, all of it, now.

Considering that Schlump is way too stupid to understand ANY of this AND is completely oblivious to the fact that Putin has been playing him like a fiddle all the way along, anyone with an i.q. higher than their shoe size can easily see this this little project was doomed from the start.

The fact that the whole world was forced to watch that stupid, futile charade in Alaska is the cherry on the 💩 sundae. I hope the other European leaders who came here to support Ukraine can figure out a way to give Zelensky the help he needs to fight off Putin's goons without having to rely on assistance from the U.S. that Schlump obviously can't be counted on to provide.
