America, thanks to the Communist Republicans, just reaffirms that America is and hasn’t been the leader of the free world.

    Just to be clear, this was pretty much ALWAYS his plan. Pretending otherwise was an exercise in self-deception. This is 0% surprising (though it is infuriating).

      Which is why the election results were so painful. It’s like being able to see a train coming at you and staying on the track to just see what happens.

      Agreed, Trump has always hated Zelenskyy ever since he tried to extort him for his sugar daddy, failed, and got impeached for it so this was always the plan. And we all knew his communist Republican allies in Congress was going to follow whatever this fat, orange Putin swallower was going to do.

      Like you said, just absolutely infuriating but not surprising.

        What is it with calling Republicans communists? It just suggests ignorance of what communism is. Is it because they’re affiliated with Russia? Russia stopped being communist in 1991. It would be better to call them Putinists, or kleptocratic-dictator-loving, crooked, anti-American traitors.
