We wouldn't have been in this situation if Walz and Harris had challenged the November election results... I'm SO PISSED at them both. They had every legitimate reason to do so...
I hate to say it, but yeah, they really should have. And in future elections, recounts must be demanded if there is even a slight suspicion of anything out of line.
"We are a country that stands up to dictators" when it suits them, maybe. Many other times they've stood up WITH dictators, and supported coups d'etat. Let's not pretend this is so out of character for the US.
George, I adored your persona in the 70s and I admire your courage and wisdom now. You are the perfect example of what America is all about. Thank you for your support of the facts and willfulness to point out the madness and danger of Trump's plans and administration.
Unless you are protesting at the White House against the shameful behaviour of your President, who appears to be Putin's vassal and spokesman then your words mean nothing.
J.D. Vance was Worse, he is the one that was completely disrespectful Not Zelensky, They made a show out of him. They are incapable of sympathy of any form. Even worse are the Americans who are still cheering!
Donnie has it backward. He's actively fighting democracy and standing up for dictators. But what do we expect from a man who wasn't even taught right from wrong as a child? His father was a ruthless bastard as well. We need to be rid of him.
Thank you Governor Walz! The people of all 50 States need to hear a roll call of their Governor's stand on Ukraine. Let's start with this and see if we are indeed still the UNITED States! 🇺🇲🇺🇦
I live in Maine, the entire world knows what my Governor thinks of everything related to Trump and his activity.
This is a poor state that cannot afford to lose it's federal funding and if we can give Trump the middle finger, there is no excuse for the other states to not do so as well.
America is now quite rightly considered a rogue and hostile state by us Europeans. The US-Russian alliance, which of course involves North Korea too is now a clear and present danger to Europe.
Why are they all mostly still only on Twatter?
Thank you for being on here and for Sulu in startrek reruns in the 80s, my youth. Live long and keep prospering!🖖
We must resist the current administration. We must get out and make sure the special elections are won by Democrats
America is certainly not perfect, in our history our government have made some poor decisions, but that all pales compared to this administration. If we don't act, Putin wins
This 🇨🇦 is through with the Yankee "clutching of the pearls" moments. He is YOUR President. YOUR PEOPLE elected him. Where are the protests? Where is the LOUD opposition? All I see is tacit support and much handwringing. Look in the mirror America - your reflection IS Donald Trump.
Sadly they’re not, not even on American media. Billionaires own the MSM and most popular social media platforms, and they want their tax cuts. And Trump has everyone scared to stand up to him. The American left will need to promote the hell out of its resistance, you can’t rely on traditional news.
I have not heard of any large protests anywhere against Nazi Trump. Live in Australia. I'm guessing, because I saw some people being covered who were actually, some fat person, upset with Zelensky for not doing what he was told by Putin's lackey, that 50% of the country, at least, had voted for him.
Don't depend on our media to show the protests happening in all 50 states. Don't depend on them to show Dem opposition. For all intents and purposes American MSM in state-run media under this administration.
Heard him on the New Yorker Radio Hour and admired his plain, common sense talk. Was looking forward to having a YouTube fix-it video Dad in the WH. Oh well…
Look at thIs and tell me if you think somethings weird.
U.S. gdp for 2023 was $27,360.94B, a 6.28% increase from 2022.
U.S. gdp for 2022 was $25,744.11B, a 9.11% increase from 2021.
U.S. gdp for 2021 was $23,594.03B, a 10.65% increase from 2020.
U.S. gdp for 2020 was $21,322.95B, a 0.92% a decline
If only that were true... Iran (twice) Chile, most of the central American countries, Indonesia, S Korea, the list of democracies overthrown, coups supported or even instigated by the US is an incredibly long one...
Blue states need to forge their own path now.
Stop paying taxes to the federal government. Shut it down. Trump is nothing without the blue states. He can go be the the king of Maga land and collect a tribute of grits….
This summer when you Americans travel the world on vacation... you better get used to hearing " YANKEE GO HOME " Because we are fed up with all your Trump bullshit... and dont tell me, ' Oh i dint vote for this'.. He's your fucking president. You either deal with worldwide hatred or FIRE HIM
This statement is pathetic cant. Obviously, we’re not that country anymore, and our former allies know it. Don’t try to gull them with this pablum. Hopefully they’re not buying.
Only wish he had given a bit more plain common sense on the debate stage, but surely it didn’t matter since what we saw yesterday is exactly what people apparently wanted and voted for.
Yesterday was horrible but partly designed as a distraction, so we forget about the economy. As James Carville said, "It's the economy stupid."
Stay focused, strong, and resolute!!!!!!!!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Why, why, why are you posting a screenshot from Musk's platform, with no alt text, rather than just reposting Tim's direct comment from here on Bluesky?
Look. Who are we BS'ing. These states are no longer United and haven't been for some time.
It's time to have a serious discussion about SECtioning this country by those who choose NOT to live in an autocratic dictatorship and those that are willing to die to live in one.
Dear Mr. Watz: DEMOCRACY IS ONLY GOOD FOR YOU WHEN YOU GET STOLEN RESOURCES FOR NOTHING. If the country you steal from doesn't agree then you pay/go in & steal what you want & plant dictators.
SO DON'T COME HERE NOW SAYING THIS AIN'T YOU.
THE REST OF THE WORLD KNOWS: THIS IS YOU ON A NORMAL DAY
Remember Congress sets policy. The president executes it or is impeached. Please put pressure on your Senators and Congressional Reps to avoid World War Three by stopping the war of Russian Aggression.
Where is Obama? And the Clintons? And Harris? I know, there’s a “code” about former presidents and VPs not speaking out against current office holders.
Fuck the code. This is a seminal moment in our nation’s history. They need to be speaking out EVERY DAMN DAY.
I have no doubt that there is a great deal of discussion, etc. going on behind the scenes. We know who they are. I also feel that this is our time/responsibility to stand up, reach past our comfort zones and make the noise - do the work of getting in good trouble.
I agree with that 100%. I also think if they were speaking out, more people would be comfortable reaching past their comfort zones. If there was a protest in DC and Obama, the Clintons, and Harris were there, MILLIONS would show up.
I agree but I also worry that would make them bigger targets and at this point I don’t believe they are safe in those settings. Cheesus is just itching to set off a huge conflict so he can declare martial law.
I get it though - I wish we could have them lead a spectacularly massive march!
Don't be fooled; Walz and Harris were in the pockets of the Zionists just like Biden, and sold this country to the military industrial oligarchs. That shadow government was just a presage of the out-of-the shadows government by just one oligarch.
That shit show yesterday proves he’s with Putin. He wants to be Putin, he envies him. The entire world has seen the video. Putin is having cognac with caviar and laughing. He owns Trump. Yesterday was proof.
No one in politics is calling it out for what it is. Trump is a Russian asset and the GOP is completely bought by Russia. The military needs to step in and get rid of them all.
Even better. That way it's not just a momentary event, but would continue throughout the speech - with multiple opportunities for cameras to show it. And silence is classier than GOP-style heckling.
If only the Democrats in House and Senate could muster the "courage" 🙄 for such a simple protest.
I officially fell out of love with the DNC when Ken Martin went on TV the day after his election and said, “It’s not a message problem, it’s a messaging problem.” That’s a self-disproving statement. They’re so utterly clueless and tone deaf I’m pretty much done with them. They made this happen.
I miss him speaking the truth in Midwestern. I wish more people would have listened to him. I still think he has a strong voice in the future of Democratic politics.
Isn’t it interesting that he’s from Nebraska but the majority of our redneck state sided with Trump? I’m seriously confused and ashamed of how wrong that all seems.
If we had that man in the room instead of JD Vance the world would see leadership in America. Instead the world sees a threat to world peace. That doomsday clock moved one step closer to midnight.
Getting the spotlight off trump is our power move. Keep that goal at the top of your list of priorities. Take a page from the gop by taking ALL the attention, by grandstanding in unprecedented & unexpected fashion. SHOCK & OVERWHELM every news cycle. Do NOT play nice. That game is over.
We are all more powerful and united if each one of these men and their horrible companies crumble. You are a total loser if you justify supporting these people, not to mention, lazy, white, racist and bigoted. Sit all the way down and know your place.
They have, notice the almost deafening silence today..they saw themselves how out of this universe these supposed leaders acted and how the world reacted to them.
There is no sympathy for any MAGA who finally wakes from a cult death coma, and doesn't shake their heads and say "what have I done?"

Not really. We occasionally do something good like stand up to a dictator but we are usually standing up to protect our own commerce or national defense interests. Not a lot changes but the ship has never sailed.
Trump will be gone in four years. It'll take a decade to repair diplomatic relations.
Some did. The funding of Israel is actually a federal law here and included in our annual budget so stopping it requires an act of Congress and Republicans weren't willing to do that plus that can take years. When Biden wanted to send more to Ukraine, Republicans demanded even more for Israel.
The idea that we are fully in support of genocide is nonsense and an enormous amount of people who voted for Trump did so because they thought he would save the Palestinians. Those people are stupid but still, he won them over with that bullshit.
We had national protests about which president was actually going to stop funding Israel. Trump has ready or has already sent billions more that he put on the table within days of being in office.
I did not vote for Trump and knew it was going to be worse under his leadership but I also understand people who lost entire families not being able to stand behind either party.
Look folks, this is an uncomfortable truth, but Tim Walz is spouting some asinine propaganda to make a good point. We SHOULD be supporting Ukraine, but we more often support murderous right-wing regimes in the name of our national interests. It's been an American matter of course for over 100 years.
Come on George. We stand up to dictators? We’ve empowered more dictators and participated in more destructions of democracies around the world than any other country. He could make this point very easily without erasing our horrid history or being insensitive to the millions our actions killed.
America USED TO be a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.
Now it's a country that is ruled by a dictator and fights to dismantle democracy.
There should not be this much authority vested in one individual ... checks and balances should have a mechanism to guarantee BALANCE.
America is not its leaders
America is not its asshole billionaires
And America might need a stiff kick up its balls/ovaries right now to remind it of that fact
But America is still in this fight because over half of America is getting really, really pissed off about it
True, but a large, LARGE minority of its population are more than OK with the cruelty, injustice, greed & nepotism of its leaders.
A LOT of Americans WANT to restrict individual rights, bodily autonomy & freedom (of OTHERS, obviously).
They approve betrayal of allies & want MORE radical changes.
The character of a HUGE sample of Americans has shown the world that they are NOT the fair minded people that they have pretended to be.
I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt & say that they're mostly just stupid, but the ugly, hateful side of American character is clearly exposed.
I mean, we agree. The thing is that there will always be that 10% of people who refuse to not be assholes, and there's always a few who are capable of convincing some of the 90% to listen to them and ignore the evidence of their own eyes.
Clearly, not everyone in the US is a MAGA asshole, & a LARGE number of Americans are as horrified as the rest of the world with what is going on, but the EFFECTS of Trump's cruelty are what matters and the HUGE number of his enablers show us that America the entity, cannot be trusted or relied upon.
Believe me, we know that.
However this isn't the first go around. Our issue is that Trump got back in, and immediately dumped agreements, treaties, alliances and relationships.
Over night.
Do we stake our economic, political and strategic welfare in a relationship that changes by a whim and a tweet
From the outset, the meeting was not a negotiation - it was an ambush. Trump and Vance did not approach the discussion as allies working toward a common goal, but as political figures looking to undermine Ukraine’s position.
Trump is a horrible actor, Vance even worse.
This was a performance to hide that there was never an intent to proceed with the mineral deal. Trump had promised Ukraine (and America) to Putin previously.

We are in a de facto state of war with Russia.

Accept this fact and all Trump does makes sense.
Wake up America!
