    All I see is a great president dressed appropriately for the office of his country and a fat orange beluga whale in a suit.

    Had Zelensky an unreasonably good grasp of American culture, he could have retorted with half the lyrics from Johnny Cash’s ‘The Man in Black.’

    It was a protest song against the Vietnam War, the mistreatment of the poor and imprisoned.

    selected lyrics

    Well, you wonder why

    I always dress in black

    Why you never see

    Bright colors on my back

    And why does my appearance

    Seem to have a somber tone?

    Well, there’s a reason for the things

    That I have on

    I wear the black in mournin’

    For the lives that could have been

    Each week we lose

    A hundred fine young men

    I wear it for another

    Hundred thousand who have died

    Believin’ that we all

    Were on their side

    Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow

    Every day

    And tell the world

    That everything’s okay

    But I’ll try to carry off

    A little darkness on my back

    Till things are brighter

    I’m the man in black

      But he did call The Orange shit gibbon a bitch in another language. So that’s a huge win

        Its ‘Cyka’ (cyrillic) or ‘Suka’ in both Russian and Ukranian, right?

        Whether or not thats true, he came up with a damn good post hoc rationalization for it.

    Imagine a shallow, demented, incontinent old man who’s never played with a full deck of cards in his life telling someone, “you don’t have the cards”

    The self restraint of Zelenskyy to avoid saying, “get Fucked loser” is monumental.
