American here. Ukraine has a better world leader than America has had in over a century.
Zelensky will be forever remembered in history.
Probably one of the best leaders of any country.
Delete the first word of that post. Your post now starts with “One”, and from there you change nothing.
NOW your post is accurate.
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.
Who among the US presidents has been better since Rosevelt?
Carter is the ONLY one who comes close.
FDR was still within the last 100 years though…
The guy who served 5 terms, started the cold war, and became the basis for why we needed the 2 term limit?
He served five terms because he was so good he was massively popular, the conservatives paniced and pushed for term limits afterwards as they were scared of the idea of people running with policies that benifted the majority of people repetedly getting long periods of power like that.
Also American. I fully and emphatically agree.
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!
1000%. Also American (regretfully, at this point).
Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was less than 100 years ago. He was a damned good world leader IMO.
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.
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.

It breaks my heart. I have a few Ukrainian coworkers (working remotely), and when we jump in Slack and I chat with them now compared to when we first started working together, all I hear is the weariness, the sadness, the loss. This woman designed all of our proprietary software, and she was always such an upbeat, motivated badass. That cliche of a person “lighting up the room” when they walk in? That’s her. Now though? She’s had to move three times to avoid bombs, and even though she’s safe now, she’s lost something that I don’t know if she will ever get back.
What I see in this picture of Zelenskyy is what I hear in her voice every time I talk with her. And it makes me fucking furious.
I have a Ukrainian friend since like 2015, he is US citizen now. since last year they force smile and socialise less, just trying to stay busy with their kids.
It’s so painful that I don’t even know how to talk to him about this anymore. I just let him drive the conversation for most part. Most of the time, in the back of my head, I feel the pain of his family/relatives who have been displaced/disabled/dead.
I can’t imagine losing your homeland to a cruel dictator.
I’m Ukrainian living in the US, I know.
And yet, there are idiots all over social platforms who bitch (and even joke!) about how they’re “tired of giving money to Ukraine). I only wish they knew how painful that is to see. I wish that they at least had the courtesy to keep their mouth shut.
Zelenskyy and Trump both carry a great weight…but with Trump it’s just because he’s a fat fuck.

I think we need to chill on the asshole shaming. You could hurt my wittle feelings.

“Fat” means high body fat percentage, not just “weighs a lot”.
People with lots of muscle are categorized as obese with the regular BMI formulas, but that obviously doesn’t apply to them.

Weight is one of those things that most people can largely change about themselves. I agree it’s a lot harder to regulate your weight when you have conditions that reduce your mobility and make you burn far fewer calories like ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, but the basic principles of thermodynamics still apply.
Trump isn’t one of those people with a debilitating condition other than his age. He’s genuinely an unpleasant glutton who lives on a diet of Big Macs and Diet Coke.
Maybe he can’t do anything about him being fat, but he absolutely could stop being a fuck.
Trump might look fat but he doesn’t weigh much - actually he’s 99% hot air.
Trump would be carrying the weight of the US and the free world, too.
But he rejected the mantle, he didn’t pick it up. He just pokes it sometimes, and points at it and talks about it as something in his possession.
As with his life he wants all of the power and none of the responsibility
I mean, he seems to spend no time off while dismantling democracy. I don’t understand why people go so far to ruin other’s lives, but not save them.
Presidents normally age badly during their presidency due to stress. Look at George Bush in 2000 and compare him to 2008. He looks like hell, ditto Obama.
Trump has barely any noticeable stuff happen. Whatever happened would have happened regardless to him just being 10 years older when he started campaigning in 2015. He thrives on the hate he receives.
Obama is over 20 years older than me and I think he looks great. I think he stopped dying his hair during the presidency.
Mad respect for the man. He really loves his country. Maybe some of our “leaders” should take note. This is what a true badass does when a lot is at stake.
Dude’s country is being attacked by the “second army in the world” and he says “I don’t need a ride I need ammunition.”
I’m amazed his giant brass balls even fit in his pants.
Maybe some of our “leaders” should take note.
That’s the thing, many politicians don’t care.
Spoiler Alert: They won’t
Words can’t describe how powerful this picture is to me.
Trump posts crap like this to truth social
Is the left Elvis?
Unfortunately yes. Lol
That’s fucking hilarious.
‘Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I’m basically like him!’
‘Remember that obese rockstar whose heart exploded while trying to take a shit? I’m basically like him!’
But seriously, can he be like Elvis in this specific way?
FYI if you use the link flag and place an ! in front we will see the image here without clicking.
Cheers, I was in two minds about embeding it but thought it was also useful to see where the link went to and that it actually was on truth, at the same time I didn’t want to push traffic direct to trumps profile 😂
Loool!
Someone take a recent normal photo of thump and put it on the right side please 😂
Also, he is 47. Men’s bodies age rapidly around 45 and again at 65.
Tell me about it. Started resistance training to strengthen the shoulders, they started feeling weak, then the knees started to act up, stopped skipping leg days. 47 is a bummer physically (for the rest: I’m still 25 in my own head).
Yew. But war will age you like crazy.
He aged like that in a few months
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.

I’m under 30, and I feel like that when I don’t go to the gym for a few days. That’s probably not specifically an aging thing.
Shit don’t say that, im 41
This was me after the first season of White Lotus.
I’m afraid to see what you look like after the second season. Lol.
lol Sicily! I’m working on that pasta face right now.
Are you high on drugs? Because it sounds like you are.
Depends on what you consider drugs. And high. I’m 2700m above sea level and drinking coffee. Is that what you were thinking numb skull?
No, it doesn’t. Rational, sane people do not think the way you do.
I suggest you get treatment for your hallucinations before you kill someone.
Projecting very hard buddy. Give the phone back to your mommy and go wash your ass between the cheeks. With soap this time.
Having worked in that industry it was entertaining but otherwise meh 🤷
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.
Ha-wha-ee, yes. The cinematography was spot on. Writing too. The Aussie lad was toxic af tho. Looking forward to S2.
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.
She did those “gays” quite dirty tho - her words, not mine - and yes, was sloppy on the dismount.
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.
Ah, so you’re a moronic troll. Got it. Have a good one.
Absolute hero this man, every European and democratic country should hope to have its own Zelenskyy.
He wasn’t always like this, he was a normal person, a good comediant, but when great and heavy responsibilities come, you change with the times, and for this man, times have been hell. I don’t want to be him, knowingly sending my troops and young people to die because of a (insert a bad word for Putin).
If I remember correctly he was playing in a comedy as a guy who gets kinda accidentally elected, and based on the show he was kinda accidentally elected - half as a protest, half as a joke.
He ran for the office. What was accidental about it? Was it a joke campaign?
I don’t know/remember many details of what I’ve read, but I think the campaign built a lot on the comedy show (there are a few short videos on YouTube with subtitles)
I bet many people, professional politicians, people with no principles that care only about money, would’ve run away leaving their country to suffer. This man had the strength to change and demand help for his own people, that makes him great honour.
Look how they deep fried my boy.
Got a good chuckle out of me man. Much needed, thanks
He and Andy Serkis are aging remarkably similarly
Damn you. Now I will never unsee this. It never even crossed my mind until you cursed me.
Reminds me of this pic of Lincoln.
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
The good are more likely to be killed by the evil, but there is no karma. Sometimes good guys die for no reason, and sometimes bad guys do too.
Almost like we’re just another species of animal floating on a rock in the vastness of space.
Looks like Doctor McCoys brother
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”
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.
