@Dumfukdetector I think the pushback may have actually started in Texas, of all places, with a Trump appointed judge, who just articulated the obvious about the AEA and clearly stated for the first time that no, the conditions of the AEA are not remotely met by a criminal gang that was founded.

@LindseyGrahamSC How precisely was Trump getting lectured by Zelenskyy when he simply and accurately pointed out that the Russians had invaded his country and had violated multiple ceasefire agreements? He was simply stating fact. That's when Vance got all huffy and jumped in and basically.
