I stand with Zelenskyy and Ukraine always.

The fact that T invited P, a war criminal with an outstanding International Court warrant, to American soil, and worse yet, a US military base is an automatic win for Putin. I am with Adam and hope that nothing comes of this meeting (best scenario) Because, as Adam said, T can't stand to be in a room without everyone swooning over him makes him totally vulnerable to P's charms. (KGB/FSB operative vs T real estate operative, no contest. I would almost bet that T gives something because he needs diversion from Eptstein, DC and all the shit he's pulling every day. Bravo to the brave Alaskan portesters! Keep on keepin on!

I just wrote my MAGA, formerly good guy, Congressman and asked these questions. 1) Why did Trump invite Putin to an American base for this meeting? 2) Why has Trump federalized the police in DC when crime has been going down? 3) Why did he fire the BLS commissioner and everyone else who doesn't agree with him on data? And ended with that is a very dangerous place to be - politicizing economic and other government data organizations rely on for make big decisions.

There’s no best case scenario here.

Trump is a complete moron; Putin is playing him like a fiddle.

Adam, thank you for always telling the truth!

The US is no longer a ‘Great Power’. Sadly, Trump has squandered our credibility.

Yes, two criminals meeting to decide the fate of heroes and villains.

America needs a hero in times like these, with two corrupt dictators making deals to take away a courageous country’s land and freedom. Trump expressed through Hegseth on Feb. 12, Ukraine shouldn’t expect NATO membership or prewar boundaries.

We also need a winning battle plan, and a Democratic message before we send our hero into harm's way. He already covered the grenade for us once.

We need half of us to not even bother being outraged by Trump. It’s a waste of energy and plenty of people already do that. Let’s come up with ways to build common ground, putting country over party, so that Adam can convince the electorate to listen to him and tune out the Trump BS.

These are the goals of my substack, but I need support, critiques, and your ideas.

Really interesting. Narcissists don't have a solid sense of self so they get their worth from what other people think of them. They excessively people please and ingratiate. Just what we want in a world leader! (not)

Adam,

I salute the Ukrainian warriors and patriots on the tip of the sword in the struggle for freedom and democracy for their spunky hearts and steadfast souls. They are an inspiration to anyone who loves liberty and loathes tyranny.

The only way Putin will ever agree to any sort of ceasefire agreement with Ukraine is when his war criminal “military” is so smashed to peaces on the battlefield that it can’t continue.

Hence, as long as Ukraine is willing to fight for its freedom, it is in the national interest of the United States of America to send Ukraine all of the American made weapons it needs for free.

Slava Ukraini and Heroiam slava!

Trump has never been a nice guy…

It would be great if something positive would come from this meeting, but it can't. Putin wants Ukraine, lock, stock and barrel and won't relent as long as he's in power. I wouldn't be talking to Putin; I would be joining the European allies to come up with a comprehensive plan which includes the Allies paying an increased cost for their defense and give the Ukrainians what they need to bankrupt Russia. Plus strong sanctions against those who try to assist Russia (N. Korea types). You wanna hobble Putin?? Go for the jugular.

I don’t think I would ever believe or think that Trump was a nice guy after being in a room with him for an hour or so my opinion of him all the time is that he’s a lowlife jackass and should not be president

It would be great if while Putin is in Alaska, Trump arranges to have him arrested as a war criminal and turned over. THAT might give him a CHANCE at a the Nobel peace prize.

Thanks, Adam. Please feel free to repeat any and all information about what it’s like to be in a room with him. It would really be helpful (for me at least) to understand better why people suck up to him.

Trump might be a nice guy, but he's currently evil, insane, and demented.

P A Williams's avatar

The man is NOT even in the league with any decent nice people. He is an uncaring unfeeling business con man, a malignant narcissist who has been able to fake being nice, because Narcissists don't ever have "nice" relationships, they hold everyone in the room hostage with evil forms of smiling charismatic tangential speech that always ends up being a bragging festival of self praise and taunts against perceived insults of his enemies.

This is so much worse than what Tom Clancy would write in a novel. I keep hoping that this dystopian that we’re living falls apart.
