Desperately seeking that Peace Prize.
May have to settle for the Hero of the Russian Federation award. Bigly sad.

Here for the 🌮s. Excellent Thread title!

Superb title, thanks. Alaska? Well, I'm as shocked as all of you are. Prize for Bigly, the Booby Prize, takes a lot to win it, Bigly, but I'm sure everyone agrees you've been exceptional. There's never been a President like you. Have this 🏆 the Bigly Goldy Cup for Presidenting.

Well, that meeting was the anticlimax to end all anticlimaxes. Bigly the greatest and best anticlimax the world has ever seen. Worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize.

Just about sums it up 🙄

So we’re absolutely no further on except Vlad got a go in the Bigly fancy car? Right? Brilliant.

Igotjelly · 16/08/2025 11:29

I’m not sure how to read yesterday. The lack of a deal of any type makes me think that Trump wouldn’t roll over and give Putin an economic deal. For all of his many many orange tinted flaws I would have expected an economic agreement of some type even without a ceasefire. I wonder if he actually stuck fairly firm to the 5 principles from the Europeans.

DuncinToffee · 16/08/2025 11:40

The Daily Telegraph reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is exploring the economic trade-offs the U.S. can make with Russia in order to facilitate a ceasefire and peace agreement

Maybe an envelope changed hands? Or they just laughed about everything. I love this shit Vlad. Making money, riding in a big jet. Wish I could get people to die accidentally like they do in Russia

I am still wondering about Vance: he was on the White House list of people Trump would have with him for his debacle in Alaska, at one point, but as far as I know he was polluting Scotland yesterday?

LlttledrummergirI · 16/08/2025 11:58

Odds are Putin told Trump which parts of world he wants and what he wants Trump to do to make it happen.

Of course this can't be shared with the world, so this pointless no deal bullshit instead.

We'll just have to wait to see what they cooked up between them.

Spandauer · 16/08/2025 12:55

Trump took zero questions from the press pool in Alaska, during his return flight on Air Force One, after landing, or upon arrival to the White House.

For someone who loves the sound of his own voice that's a 'tell' I think. He won't like the (even Fox) reporting that it's a win for Putin and a weak look for his orange self. He's probably going to lash out at someone - I hope it isn't Zelenskyy again on Monday. 🙁

I agree.

From an infrequent post but avid lurker, thank you all for documenting the insanity with a lightness of touch that takes the edge off the horror. 🙏

Do we know if Vance is likely to be back by Monday? I ask because the last shot show was on no small part led by him.

If you are angling for the top job, it makes sense to be discerning when you are and are not seen with the former incumbent.
