I miss having a president. I mean a REAL president -- someone who works and lives the position. Someone who doesn't shame us but instead is always a person to respect and be proud of. Someone like Barack Obama.

This image appears to show a Ukrainian State Emergency Service worker carrying a rescued animal wrapped in a patterned blanket at the site of a deadly missile strike in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast.According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the image shows emergency responders fighting a fire at a garage cooperative in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv following a Russian aerial attack on October 6, 2026.
