    I don’t believe in God, but if that rapist felon dropped dead in front of everyone, it might change my mind.

    Best thing for Zelensky is really meeting Trump one on one, without his chaotic advisors dissuading and adding fuel to the fire.

    Trump is a coward at heart, he’ll be less likely to throw tantrums and play the “big man” act without his cheerleaders around. Plus, meeting on neutral ground is also great, since the worst place to meet a bully is in his own home, where he feels safe and calls the shots.

    Still, not that it matters much in the end. Even if Zelensky convinced Trump of anything through stroking his ego, his cheerleaders will talk him right out of it as soon as he leaves the Vatican. Or Putin, after a quick call. That’s how fickle he is.

    Yeah. I know they included a picture, but based on that description I was expecting a conversation between two adjacent stalls in the john
