“look what you made me do” is classic abuser’s language. it’s your own fucking fault that I went ape-shit on you.
that’s the attitude Republicans took on the Sunday shows, as they explained how it was Zelensky’s own fault that he got ambushed and tag-teamed by Donny Convict and Couchfuck McGee: look at what he made them do.
he should have shown deference. he shouldn’t have talked back. he shouldn’t have been dressed provocatively. he shouldn’t have been walking out alone late at night.
here’s Tulsi Gabbard, doing what she does best: mouthing Putin’s talking points.
“when President Zelensky directly challenged President Trump and Vice President Vance in front of the media and the American people, he really showed his lack of interest in an real good-faith negotiations. I can tell you there were a lot of conversations that were happening through different emissaries, both for President Zelensky and President Trump, leading up to his visit to the Oval Office. and President Zelensky’s immediate escalation there, was frankly quite a surprise.”
what the fuck is Tulsi gibbering about, ‘Zelensky’s immediate escalation’? Zelensky walked into a trap that was set by Donny and Vance. they were the aggressors. we all saw it happen.
George Orwell’s line from 1984 about “the Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears” has been used to death in the last month, but can you blame any of us for continuing to trot it out?
meanwhile, Donny’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is super fucking steamed that Zelensky didn’t show proper deference to Dear Leader.
“coming to the Oval Office with the body language, the shaking of head, the arms crossed — we just found it incredibly disrespectful.”
House Speaker Holy Mike Johnson also jumped on the insufficient deference bandwagon.
“I’ve never seen anything like President Zelenskyy’s behavior there. he berated and interrupted his host, instead of expressing gratitude for the extraordinary help that the U.S. has provided his country.”
As if Zelensky was treated with even a tiny bit of respect from Trump/Vance.
