    Yea, it’s heartbreaking to see comments like “I’d rather [xyz] than give another billion to Ukraine.” Just no words. I wish these people at least had the courtesy to shut the fuck up.

    Like the Obama photos, but with war included. That shit ages a person. Even a president.

    I have been re-watching servant of the people, and it’s just so apparent the amount of stress this man deals with on a daily basis. What a fucking hero.

      Was that the Hawaiian season? I don’t remember it really hitting that hard in terms of being sad, but it’s been awhile since watching it. Newest season is great so far, though.

        Perhaps you might feel differently if you bothered to watch the second season.

        It’s pretty obvious that you did not.

          Uh, what? I definitely did… Tanya’s character wasn’t that tragically sad, IMO. She was actually kind of a selfish asshole. There’s no other connection between S1 and S2 besides her character that I can recall.

            Wow, you are the paragon of overthinking

            This isn’t Star Trek or Doctor Who. The continuity is irrelevant, if you can’t handle that, then this isn’t the show for you.

            Blaming everyone else on the entire planet, but yourself just because of the fact that you, especially, don’t “get it” is not a reasonable nor rational thought process or reaction.

      I still cannot believe we are betraying them, the Europe and featuring ourselves and I feel powerless to stop it.

        Look for the protest actions, join them. Like, casually, just happen to be there.

        You’ll probably find like minded people there and as you connect to more people, that hopelessness will go away!

        FDR was a great man but he was forged in the fires of a time far far worse. I shudder to think how bad things need to get before we get leadership like that back.

      Ok, full props to Zelenskyy. He is certainly doing a better job than any current leaders I can think of and he should have been able to count on the U.S. for full support. I would even support deploying our own troops.

      But better than any leader the U.S. has had for 100 years? That’s quite the suck up. You can respect and support without being a blatant kiss ass. It’s embarrassing for you and for him.

      Pretty sure the UK literally endured the same amount of stress and terror as Ukraine, given that the Germans dropped tens of thousands of bombs on their major cities for years.

        For what it’s worth, Britain probably didn’t suffer as much as Ukraine has. The actual island of Great Britain was more or less secured after the aerial battle of Britain was won, and that took less than a year. Military casualties would go on to be comparable to the war in Ukraine, of course, and there was the ongoing difficulty of feeding everyone, but Britain at least had the sea and a massive navy standing between it and the enemy and civilian casualties were “only” about 70,000

    I feel bad for him, he is trying his best yet we got people like Dump bullying him on the global stage for not wearing a suit and “not doing enough”

    Fuck You. This type of shit is bull when You do it to actors. If Zalensky could go to a barber and get a makeup he would look the same as on the left. But he has more important things on his mind right now.

      What a bizarre take. This isn’t a “Zelenskyy didn’t put on his face this morning” post.

      The point is that Zelenskyy has undertaken a great deal of stress during this trying time, as many Ukrainians have. The exhaustion written on his face is saddening, because it reflects the weight of the troubles assailing Ukraine, but it also shows that he is a great man, undertaking these burdens when lesser men would have fled or given up.

        I am suspecting that before the spectacle they likely were trying to bribe him to just let Russia win and he didn’t do it, so they used this to beater him and switch sides.

      O, the Rail Splitter. You know what they say about good deeds never going unpunished. As my dad used to say, “only the good die young”. Then he died at 59. He was a piece of shit. So now I don’t even know what to think

    Once the government here in the US ends up in Jail, we’ll build a monument to Zelensky. The title might be something like “never forget to not be the nazi.” Or “never elect another trump/republican.”

      I’m 45. :,) You really have to do sports regularly, better daily at that point. If I don’t do some sports for a week I immediately feel horrible.
