Isn't It Ironic That ...

... the same country that had a former tyrannical monarchy, from which we declared economic, governmental, and religious independence almost 250 years ago, are the ones supporting Zelensky's independence against the tyrannical Christian Nationalist regimes of Putin, rather than Trump and U.S?

Go PM Starmer!

Now, that is the way to welcome guests in need to your house 😊

Also, can I just say that although Zelensky's visit to the White House was initially called a "shouting match," none of the clips I've seen, on left or right-wing press, have shown Zelensky getting to speak much at all?

Just Trump and Vance shouting at Zelensky about being disrespectful and ungrateful.  

Maybe that's what they mean - Trump and Vance shouting at him for like 20 minutes straight, demanding respect and gratitude?

Maybe he would, if you'd ever let him get a word in edgewise?

And what should he be grateful to you, personally, for, Trump?

Oh, wait, I know!

Was it for your withholding aid during your last term unless he turned over "dirt" on Biden?

Or was it calling him a "dictator" and saying it was his fault Russia invaded them, a few weeks ago?


No - WE helped Zelensky, through Congressional support voted upon during Biden's term - not you.

And we did so because Russia, a nuclear-weapon-holding world superpower, had no business invading the smaller independent country that is the Ukraine.

So Zelensky doesn't owe you, personally, jack squat - you did everything you could to withhold aid and make things difficult for him.

I don't care if he was too busy/stressed out to say thank you, that's not why we do it, to get a thank you. 

(Well, official diplomacy does it to make allies, but that's not why we, the American people, supported the Congressional vote for support.)

I'm sure he has said thank you -  in fact I've seen him say thank you - just not to you - because you've made it very clear you're Putin's biggest puppet! 😂

And JD Vance going off about how informally he was dressed. 

I guess the epitome of showing respect to the POTUS and the White House would be for Zelensky to don black jeans, a blue T-shirt, and a black trucker's hat, then let his 5-year-old son pick his nose and wipe his boogers on the oval-office desk, like Elon?  

Yes .. because clearly THAT is showing respect to the POTUS and The White House?!? 😂

Dude - Zelensky's country is war-torn - I'd actually be more concerned if he showed up in a fancy suit?

Speaking of which, what's Elon's excuse for his choice of casual wear and letting his son wipe his boogers on the oval-office desk,  considering he's the richest man in the world?

Vance, you're getting on my very last nerve trying to stay relevant and insert yourself into every conversation.

Boy, bye!

You best pray you end up with a better gig than Matt Gaetz, after this is over, because Kentucky doesn't want you anymore -  on either political side - because of that book you wrote long before your current gig, which was merciless and unfair.

However, to be unlike you and actually be fair, I haven't watched the full exchange because Trump shouting at how "disrespectful" and "ungrateful" Zelensky was being to us reminded me too much of a recent work experience. 

So ... after the offshore team in India mixed up American first and last names on emails - which I'd done myself with an Indian name - my coworker took over a meeting, raising her voice that they were "being disrespectful (towards Americans)" for doing so - and management let her.

Of course, they weren't - she was being disrespectful towards the offshore team in India.

(Once again - that's called "projection," boys and girls.)

It's not like they they intentionally did it anyway, it was a mistake -  just as my own mix up of an Indian first and last name was.  

(We responded to dozens of emails each day, immediately, while multitasking, so it happens. )

So they just sat there quietly, like they usually did, apologizing - and let her.

Worse, management let her.

Getting the first and last names mixed up on American emails isn't the end of the world anyway - there were much bigger business issues to fry - but this Trump-fried arrogance and respect-demanding coworker thought it was?

So when I heard Trump say that, LIKE that, that work incident was the very first thing that entered my mind - that same arrogant, belligerent, American superiority attitude - demanding respect, but having none to give others.

And let me go further, after witnessing that coworker's "disrespectful" rant towards the offshore team, so I'd like to  say this to potential employers ...

... if you expect me to jump on your arrogant, "respect Americans" Trump-style bully bandwagon,  just because I'm a white girl in Kentucky,  think again - don't bother even requesting an interview.

I'd rather flip burgers at McDonald's than have to listen to that kinda crap again. 

How you call yourselves Christians with attitudes like that is beyond me.

Thus, I didn't watch the full exchange and don't need to - I don't need that reminder of just how arrogant, hypocritical, and behavior-projecting our leadership has become.


But I digress 😂

On a lighter note, it was good to see that SNL had the same perspective I did ... hehehe ...





"DOUCHE" - The Department of Undoing Child Healthcare and Education

Hahaha!

No, wait ...

HAHAHAHA!

Oh, thank God for you, SNL - sometimes we forget, as little blue dots in red states, that there really are people out there with the same perspective we have 😊

The liberals here in Kentucky live in a bubble, and if they do notice, they are too afraid to rock the boat or be an outlier or too outspoken, through comedy or not. 

Hope you're still around in 50 more years, we need you 😊
