What Donald Trump and JD Vance did to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was humiliating, not only for their intended target, but for me. Two weak and insecure bullies beating up on the smaller kid and taking his lunch money. What that says to the rest of the world about those of us who happen to live in this country is, quite frankly, humiliating to me. It accomplished nothing of constructive value; it just made two infantile men feel good about themselves at the expense of someone who was asking them to fulfill a promise that this country made.

That I am even remotely associated with these bullies is enough to make me wake up with a stomach ache.
