Jeff is getting heated over someone calling the new monster hunter ugly.
Has anyone asked him why he's so damn aggro all the time? I get it's useless but I want to hear it from his mouth.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

he'd probably call you a stalker and ban bait you asking for proof.

[Uncle]

Uncle ordering that Trump Ice by the boatload.

Before you take a sip, make sure to remove Trump’s cock from your lips.

 

not really sure what you mean by this? where was the part where I defended trump? you get how it's worse when as a leader you don't even respect the will of those you govern and just do whatever you feel is most personally edifying in the moment? or when you make overtures that seem to lean in a certain direction, no one can even trust that those are sincere?

[nampad]

Nep, you only do so much organizing because you have literally NOTHING else going on in your pathetic life.

[Propagandhim]

who knew that American president constantly talking that Putin is super cool, shitting on Ukraine and the EU, even though meaningless, voting on retarded UN resolution confirming that Russia is in fact super cool, conducting peace talks cutting out Ukraine is not actually “aligning themselves with Russia”? what it actually is something that existed in all of US history you hysterical idiots.

I don't think you actually read what was said

I also think you and many others are being heavily provincial in the belief that America is "aligning with Russia" in any sense because you don't misidentify the correct part of American culture. Whatever Trump may or may not personally want he's not tapping into some pro-Russia strain because that doesn't exist at all.

the prior implication was that "America" was aligning with Russia, which is not true

Trump has personally shown some alignment with Russia, which does not indicate a strong groundswell of pro-Russia sentiment, not even broadly in the republican base or senators/representatives, at least I haven't been seeing a bunch of them saying "yes yes Russia has always been our truest ally"

I'm not even convinced Trump is aligning with Russia because Trump doesn't ally with anyone, he will do whatever seems most expedient, profitable, or personally-aggrandizing in the moment, he's already flipped on his own statements from a few days ago

you can say these are lies and manipulations, but then by what basis can you say the earlier alignment with Russia wasn't also lies and manipulations?

the point, the truth, is that "America" is not allying itself with Russia, and Trump only appears to do so as long as he feels it benefits him the most

you can say that's just as bad, just don't get it twisted

I dunno, man.  When Putin deploys North Korean troops onto European soil to kill Europeans, a red line has been crossed for this kind of wishy-washyness.  One doesn't bargain with someone who imports foreign dictatorships' soldiers to murder civilians on a continent still haunted by the ghosts of the 20th century.  We were doing a pretty good job dismantling their military and tanking their economy.  No idea why the capitulation.   Trump embarrassed us today.

[Propagandhim]

And the tariffs on the EU?  "the European Union was formed to screw the United States... that's its purpose, and they've done a good job of it"  The man is a true imbecile.  All he does is inflame and aggravate tensions with everyone.

I don't know what you're reading into my post

I obviously agree with everything you said, I don't think I said anything to the contrary?

the original posts were about the implication that "america" is allying with russia, benji replied that americans on the whole don't feel any particular allyship with russia but generally just want out of the world's problems so the US can start to solve their own, then that take was mocked as if it's somehow incorrect, and I just wanted to back it up

the american people don't support russia, congress doesn't support russia

trump is an embarrassment who probably can't even be relied on as russia's stooge, and I hope this wasn't theater for the sake of setting up dominoes he can knock over later to justify something worse - I don't think it is, because I don't think he's that smart, but you never know

You're right.  I missed the context.  I went back and read the other posts.  My bad!

I only read the transcript. I'm in a bit of a shock state.

I have to reflect on how I will move forward after this evening. I'd like to boycott US products, but I need to assess where that is feasible.

I'm also going to start posting like I'm a CFO of an international megacorporation when referring to the number of Oreos I buy weekly.

[Uncle]

How is there not the biggest protests ever in America right now? Presumably half the country hate Trump and they're just watching?

There's an economic one going on as we speak.

 

But honestly, why would people protest that their President is acting retarded with another nation? They should protest that their president puts his personal bias over the interests of their nation, but Benji already explained that Xenophobia and Isolationism is big in certain parts of the U.S. electorate.  (Agreeing with you Benji… is just depressing  )

And because doesn’t involve Jews or brown people, the far left doesn’t care.

There's an economic one going on as we speak.

 


era right now:



"we were vaguely protesting for no reason, but now an actual reason for protesting dropped in our lap! how about that! we can just hitch our cart to that!"

[Propagandhim]

After this person determines what is feasible for their boycott, they can then identify which 'US products' don't contain components from dozens of countries to create meaningful pressure on political decision-makers, and then implement a boycott they aren't just conducting to tell others about.  Even delivering one sandwich to one old person in their neighborhood would be more organizin' than that shit.  Fucko.

[DavidCroquet]

After this person sorts out the consistency of "what is feasible" for his boycott, they can then move on to determine what "US products" that don't contain components from dozens of countries, and then on to implement it for his boycott that he isn't just doing to tell other people about.  Fucko.

A number of Republican lawmakers and Cabinet members have lauded President Donald Trump after a clash between him and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House today.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was part of a bipartisan group of senators who met with Zelensky earlier today, praised President Donald Trump’s handling of the fiery Oval Office exchange and warned that Zelensky “is either going to have to fundamentally change or go.”

“I’ve never been more proud of President Trump for showing the American people and the world you don’t trifle with this man. He was very positive, he was very upbeat, he wanted to get a ceasefire, he wants to end the war. And Zelensky felt like he needed to debate Trump in the Oval Office. (Vice President) JD (Vance) was awesome. This is a missed opportunity,” Graham said in an interview on Fox News.

He later added, “Zelensky is either going to have to fundamentally change or go. I can’t believe most Americans, after what they saw today, would want to be partners with Zelensky. Ukraine is an important ally that fought like tigers. I don’t want Putin to win, I want to help you train, but it’s hard to help people who seem unable to realize the moment they’re in.”

Graham has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine and said that he is “devastated” by what happened in the meeting, calling it an “absolute, utter disaster.” He added that he told Zelensky to “be grateful, be thankful” in the meeting.

Later, when asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins what Trump said at lunch of his interaction with Zelensky, Graham said, “He was shocked. He was very upbeat.”

Here’s what other Republican lawmakers and officials said:

Sen. Chuck Grassley, the most senior Senate Republican to meet Zelensky today, said Russian President Vladimir Putin is an imperialistic dictator but that the Trump is in charge of negotiations with foreign powers.
Mike Lee, Senate Energy and Natural Resources chairman, posted on X, “Thank you for standing up for OUR COUNTRY and putting America first, President Trump and Vice President Vance!” He also criticized House Republican Don Bacon for saying that today was a “bad day for America’s foreign policy.” Lee wrote, “Maybe he meant it was a ‘bad day for *Ukraine’s* foreign policy.’”
Sen. Rick Scott released a statement thanking Trump for “standing up for America’s best interests.”
Sen. Josh Hawley, who has long been opposed to sending aid to Ukraine, said, “Remember: the U.S. Senate has repeatedly and for years voted BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine with no strings attached and with no true oversight. It’s time for some ACCOUNTABILITY.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth endorsed Trump’s statement that Zelensky “disrespected” the US and can “come back when he is ready for peace.”
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick said in a statement that “it was heartbreaking to witness the turn of events that transpired” in the Oval Office. He added that he is “confident that the parties will reconvene in pursuit of a mutually agreeable solution that best serves the interests of the United States of America and Ukraine.”

“Zelensky played it as wrong as he could play it. He came into Oval acting like a tough guy. It didn’t play well. Everyone in the room felt insulted,” a senior US official involved with the talks said.

“Now Zelensky will have to figure out how to fix this on his own. We can’t fix it for him,” the senior US official told CNN.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/28/media/tass-russian-state-media-oval-office/index.html

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office on Friday to cover President Trump’s sit-down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting. The White House said the journalist was not authorized to be in the press pool.

A correspondent for TASS, a Russian state media organization, was among a group of hand-picked pool reporters present in the Oval Office for the leaders’ meeting, which is part of the US’ efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. The testy Trump-Zelensky sit-down may yield a signed deal that would exchange US access to Ukraine’s mineral resources for security guarantees.

Though the group of pool reporters in the Oval Office was hand picked, the White House has denied the TASS staffer was permitted entry.

“TASS was not on the approved list of media for today’s pool,” a White House official told CNN in a statement. “As soon as it came to the attention of press office staff that he was in the Oval, he was escorted out by the Press Secretary.”

“He is not on the approved list for the press conference,” the official said.
