I'm watching this presser with the sound off (because I can't stand his voice), but I just feel really sorry for the president of Finland. Imagine being elevated to the highest office in your land, and you have to stand next to this dumbass criminal as he rants and foams at the mouth.

“Ukraine is a country,” says William Taylor, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009. “The Ukraine is the way the Russians referred to that part of the country during Soviet times … Now that it is a country, a nation, and a recognized state, it is just Ukraine. And it is incorrect to refer to the Ukraine, even though a lot of people do it.”

Stop saying 'the ukraine'


You've been told about the sinister implications more than once and yet you keep doing it

I'm glad y'all taught me about that because I just had no idea and had always heard idiot Americans use it.

Really kind of an interesting confluence of linguistics and politics.

Like as much as Trump bemoans the press being such meanies to him he’s really lucky he doesn’t have to speak with the reporters from the rest of the world who wont’t kiss his rear end and will actually ask cutting questions

Wow.

For those who can't watch, Trump had a little meltdown demanding that the reporter ask the President of Finland a question (instead of pressing Trump for a followup), then when the reporter finally did Trump didn't let the Finnish Pres answer.

Apparently calling it "the Ukraine" is a reference back to its time as a Soviet state, and some people get rustled by it.

I used to work with a Ukrainian guy, he just thought it was weird that we'd say "the Ukraine" but not "the Canada" or "the Germany."

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
Reminder that Schiff is Jewish and White Nationalists hate Jews just as much as they do blacks and hispanics. I would go as far as to say extreme right-wingers hate them even more, as they are the boogeymen for most of their conspiracies.

So he doesn’t get a pass for lumping Schiff and Schumer with The Squad.

Shifty Schiff is a weak nickname
