Our master deal-maker at work!
The only 'deals' he's making are for Putin's benefit.

We are such a split country. (Of course the X comments could be bots).

But I noticed this too... Metsola didn't say trumps name she said "the United States administration" (this guy's canadian).

What do you all think?

To be clear, she doesn’t rebuke Trump, she specifies the United States’ administration. That’s the lot of you.

I get that most Americans on here are unlikely to have voted for Trump, but you need to internalize this: Trump isn’t making these threats. *America* is making these threats.

Is every American responsible? No. However there are people who apply “all X” to other countries. Like the current debate in entertainment circles about if it’s propaganda to have a Russian character on a tv show.

So is it the US threatening to invade or just Trump and his lackeys? Guess it depends.

that it's just him, his lackeys, and what's left of his base. However, it's also true that all the voters' remorse in the world will not change the fact that he and his lackeys are the US government - at least for now.

Why do you want to keep making mash potatoes with 3/4 tank of light headed violence? Free yourself and submit to the spiders in your feet before we’re all doing taxes with our grandparents. Slugs might be wetter than sheep but at least they know how to run.
Those sharks turn on gas stoves with the 2000 checks for America. I promise.
