Nice Work, If You Can Get It

 Nothing is ever Trump’s fault:

"The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse," the president wrote before making unsupported claims about the 2020 election. "If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Left Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn’t, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office. Putin would never have attacked!"

Trump then continued:

"It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, 'Now is my chance!' The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE 'LEADERSHIP' HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA."

Going even further, Trump concluded his rant by saying, "THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE $AMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERYTHING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING 'BIG' MONEY!)."

"GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT" he then added.

And he’s not responsible for anything. But he’s in charge, and can do whatever he wants. And what he wants is for Putin to like him.

Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know. pic.twitter.com/q9spsNH8XD

The only other thing you need to know is the “peace plan” is Russia’s 28 demands, and the State Department is still selling it as “our” idea.

A truly bizarre series of events.

Senators from both parties said in Halifax that Rubio told them via phone today that the Ukraine peace plan is actually a Russian document, not a U.S. proposal.

State Department spox says that’s not true, it’s a U.S.-authored proposal.

Rubio says it was indeed a U.S.-authored plan w/ Russia’s & Ukraine’s input

But doesn’t address what he said or didn’t say to senators

Also notable Rubio is framing it as “a strong framework for ongoing negotiations” even though the admin gave Ukraine til Thursday to accept it https://t.co/Vo2OMN0nc2

Honestly, that’s so fucked up it’s a goddamned Gordon Knot. And everybody’s laughing at Trump’s “mighty sword.”

How about this: Ask Trump to name 3 specific things in his “peace proposal” that he demanded Ukraine accept by Thursday.

There are 28, so 3 should be easy.
