I gave up my cable TV a while back to rely 100% on streaming services for my entertainment.

Thus, I shall have to go to a bar to watch the game....

How sad is that?

I hope for an exciting, close game and pray that it doesn't have to go to a shootout...lousy way to decide a championship.

Editorial from The Independent (U.K) sums things up succinctly.

Posted By David Cotterell
"Donald Trump’s comments about President Zelensky have shocked the world.  Describing the Ukrainian leader as a dictator and siding with Putin risk upending the bond between America and Europe that has endured for many decades.

That’s why The Independent has decided to take a stand and declared that we will always speak truth to power.
In an editorial, we have declared the following:

No, no, no, Mr President. Volodymyr Zelensky is not a dictator. Ukraine did not start the war. The Ukrainian people are right to defend themselves against Vladimir Putin’s aggression. And it is time to speak the truth – without equivocation.

Donald Trump’s words on the war in Ukraine cannot be half-accepted or negotiated around. They must be rejected. Truth is too important. And the truth is that Mr Trump is turning the values of the American republic on their head. He stands at the head of a nation founded on the idea that a people have the right to decide their own future. That noble idea cannot be given up without a fight.

The signs are that we may be witnessing nothing short of a revolution in world affairs, the switch of the United States from an ally of Europe to an ally of Russia. From an ally of freedom and democracy to an ally of dictatorship, oppression and brutality.

Mr Trump’s behaviour is little better than that of a baby throwing its toys out of the pram when it does not get what it wants. Unfortunately for us all, the petulant baby is in the White House and changing the course of history in Europe and the world for the worse in front of our very eyes.

It is time to make a stand. Mr Trump is wrong, and the world must say so. He is taking the United States down a disastrous path, favouring the dictator of Russia over the elected leader of the Ukrainian people. Worse, he is favouring Putin’s gangster state over the democracies of a free Europe. He is standing alongside murder and tyranny against democracy and liberty. His is an historic inversion of America’s destiny.
The Independent will not stay silent in the face of Mr Trump’s dangerous and twisted assault on truth and democracy."


It is very much looking like "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is referring to those who still support him, given the overwhelming evidence of what he has done and is planning to do.

The left is once again insane.
Without inviting one of them.  Just what Pooty wants.

Trump is and has been for many years a Putin asset.

Snark out of my system, did you read anything about the competing resolutions, beyond your Facebook cut/paste?  UN gamesmanship is not my cup of tea, but it appears Trump's team and some allies are trying to broker a deal, and buttering up Putin is no doubt part of the overall plan.
The only deal that Trump will broker is to give Putin ALL of what he wants - existing territory taken and not returned and no NATO for Ukraine.  You may call that merely 'imperfect'.  It certainly does not protect Ukraine from further actions and opens a door for Putin to continue to 'try to get the band back together' - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania are the next targets...  It's not a deal that Zelensky will sign on to - and that's why they are not inviting him to talks.

I only just found this out so, yes, it changes the vibe some.

I still don't trust the Trumputin connection, though.

James, you're just trying to distract us with your outstanding image!

Please feel free to repeat the effort.
