“Just say thank you.” Good god. I would have loved to see Zelenskyy lay Vance out for that, Buzz Aldrin style. But because he’s a superior human being to everyone else in that room, he did not.

And the complete lack of emotion in his voice tells you he’s long since stopped worrying about the consequences of his words/actions. He knows his base won’t care.

Holy crap his tie isn’t red

That does make more sense, and I’ll even give it to Donnie this is what he meant. But as usual, his communiques are not clearly articulated.

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the consequences of my actions…

I mean, what sane woman would be a Republican?

Oh no, not Lucas!

Yeah but they wouldn’t know. It wouldn’t be news.

Whatever happens we have got the maxim gun and they have not

This isn’t the most substantive of your comments in this chain, but I think it deserves some attention. It’s perfectly worded and it’s a concept more people need to embrace: you don’t have to speak in absolutes and it’s okay to express the limits of your knowledge.

“The usual? Cake and pop?” “No, April, the unusual.” “Fish and pop?” “No.” “Cake and fish?” “No fish!”

if he has any brains at all.

Important caveat. We may hear a lot from him after all!
