Summary

Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.

His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.

Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.

While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.

    That is an outrageous test, there are like 5 questions that could be construed in multiple ways. Hopefully you don’t lose points for explaining your reasoning…

      Oh you sweet, summer child. Read the instructions:

      “Do what you are told to do in each statement, nothing more, nothing less.”

      If you try to explain, you already failed.


      Also, by the way, this is the grading rubric:

      (This is not hyperbole. This is how it actually worked in Louisiana in 1964.)

        What kind of place takes pride in its absurdly high illiteracy rates, and seemingly does everything possible to maintain them?

        (I’m guessing a racist one)

          Because they’re racist and you’re black.

          That’s it, that’s the real, whole reason. This test was actually used, back in 1964 in Louisiana. This is how black people were disenfranchised.

          The test was given to uneducated people, and they had to pass it to be allowed to vote.
          The test was worded ambiguously on purpose, so the people grading it could decide who gets to pass.
          The people grading it were election officials in Louisiana.

          You can guess what skin color they had, and what skin color the people who usually “failed” the test had.

      You got ten minutes to do all of it, not sure you’re explaining anything.

        Even attempting to explain violates the instructions and is thus an insta-fail. Clearly, you do not understand what “nothing more, nothing less” means and are therefore illiterate and ineligible to vote, according to this test.
