It’s shameful. Period.

BOYCOTT Tuesday and hold a town hall. This is NOT business as usual!

edavedean.bsky.social•3 days ago

There now should be no doubt that Trump is a Russian asset.

idiotsavvant.bsky.social•2 days ago

You are right! It’s so obvious he’s destroying us from within. Everything Trump is doing benefits Putin directly but weakens us. We are such fools!

idiotsavvant.bsky.social•2 days ago

Beto, we need you to lead the resistance now. We cannot just stand by and let him destroy the most competent civil service in world history. We cannot wait for midterms. The NIH leads the world in organizing and funding the most advanced medical research. We have to save that or many will die.

I cannot feel like the only 2 ways forward are remove trump or fight WWIII. Where else could we go after this?

anwarovic.bsky.social•6 hours ago

what a sad, gloomy world Trump is leaving (if there is a world left in 4 years that is). THAT'S WHY BETO MUST RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2028, TO MAKE AMERICA HAPPY AGAIN, MY FRIENDS!

anwarovic.bsky.social•9 hours ago

there should've been a Democratic press conference within 15 minutes of the Trump-Zelensky meeting. WHERE'S AOC? WHERE'S BETO? WHERE'S MAXWELL FROST? WHERE'S BERNIE? WHERE'S JAZMINE CROCKETT? we need a Dem spokesperson. hell, Rachel Maddow. i don't care who it is. don't hesitate to call Trump Hitler

anwarovic.bsky.social•9 hours ago

this is a Winston Churchill speech. we need a Churchill in Britain and an FDR in the US. Trump must lose power!

anwarovic.bsky.social•1 day ago

yes, Trump wants to turn this country into an autocracy like Russia, but we must not give in to that. we need more Dems like AOC and Beto to say: "THIS IS AMERICA! WE WON'T LET YOU TURN US INTO A DICTATORSHIP, DONALD!"

Vance is a despicable human being, just garbadge, he's nothing more than a glorified podcast host/ social media influencer

anwarovic.bsky.social•1 day ago

Vance's attacks made me cringe. the Ukranians gave up their nuclear weapons in 1994 in exchange for a security guarantee by the US. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT?

anwarovic.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes they are thugs. we need to be aggressive like that in calling them out. KEEP GOING! DON'T LET UP! POST MORE! WRESTLE WITH REPUBLICANS ON THEIR PODCASTS! TAKE NO PRISONERS DAMMIT!

..repostie .. Trump turned himself into a world pariah. #fe Sorry #ALASKA but you have to speak all the Way up right now! #impeachTrump #impeachTrumpnow

woodworksally.bsky.social•2 days ago

I called my republican reps and demanded Articles of Impeachment against trump, for conspiring with an enemy nation against us, for breaking the impoundment act, the emoluments clause, the privacy act and the administrative procedures act. He is WAY outside his authority!

WE WANT HIM GONE!

barbarah2o.bsky.social•2 days ago

trump was groomed 40 years by kgb

idiotsavvant.bsky.social•2 days ago

Andrew McCabe said he thought trump was compromised. KGB agents who’ve escaped to the West have also confirmed this.

idiotsavvant.bsky.social•2 days ago

That is true. Everything he’s doing directly benefits Putin but weakens us. Why would we dismantle our intelligence and defense. They’ve ended every program we had that protected us from Russian influence. Why would that be a priority?

wmreddy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Tell it Beto, you are right on it...

fernieboy.bsky.social•2 days ago

The only thing that surprised me about Trump’s executive order today officially designating English as the official language of the United States….

is that he didn’t name “American” as the official language of the United States…

and claim that he invented it.

palmi.bsky.social•3 days ago

and they even seem so enjoy ridiculing zelensky. what kind of a person do you have to be to find joy in this? sick.

gmaddgr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Zelenskyy was clearly set-up by trump and his lap dog. Absolutely shameful treatment of a courageous and calm leader. Sickening!

rockpile2.bsky.social•2 days ago

It will do gar greater damage to US and trump/musk/vance. The resistance is real and growing. The wealthy class better get their shit together because the pitchforks have benn coming out. You can’t stop it once it’s start

jrwalt.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you, @betoorourke.bsky.social. As always, solid thoughts from you.

vhep2025.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for speaking out and defining it so well (p.s., I hope you don’t mind that I used a pic with you as my profile - it says better than anything else what I stand for with whom I stand).

alexismims.bsky.social•3 days ago

This wasn't diplomacy. It was to see if Zelensky would yield to Trump, and they televised it to prove Trump's absolute power over him, hence the ridiculous ass questions about a f@#%ing suit. Unfortunately for them, Zelensky isn't some career politician sitting in the House or Senate.

informationbank.bsky.social•3 days ago

shurta.bsky.social•3 days ago

Total set up- a Russian news outlet was in the room!

Also- WTH was that comment about wearing a suit? I didn’t see Elon wearing a suit to the cabinet meeting!!!!!! What ass licking hypocrites!

kathysertich.bsky.social•3 days ago

They are trying to be thugs but they are ignorant, weal bullies, bending over for Putin.

suewhitcomb.bsky.social•3 days ago

I HATE war with all my being, but Ukraine is the closest I have come in my lifetime to finding a justification for supporting it.

bemmur.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sad! So embarrassed! What is my country doing? Trump and Vance need to go or impeach them!

puglover24.bsky.social•3 days ago

They’re not thugs, they’re too mean teenage girls.

Mr. O’Rourke, I vote for you every chance I get! Thank you, Sir.

tariq-078.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, but got their ass kicked too as Zelensky won't be bullied.

betoorourke.bsky.social•3 days ago

Openly ridiculing and demeaning a man who has kept his country alive for three years against all the odds is a national embarrassment and runs counter to our own security interests.

gretahandle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not just security interest. More importantly, our humanity.

betoorourke.bsky.social•3 days ago

But they could care less that Ukraine was invaded by Russia — the second biggest military power on the planet — led by a ruthless dictator willing to sacrifice soldiers and civilians by the hundreds of thousands.

betoorourke.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump and JD trying to look tough even though it's clear that Zelensky is the strongest man in the room. The guy who was supposed to lose to Russia in a matter of hours or days is still there, fighting. As are the brave Ukrainian soldiers on the front line.

betoorourke.bsky.social•3 days ago

We help Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do for a fellow democracy that is suffering a brutal invasion AND because if Ukraine were to fall, the next fight would be on the front lines of our NATO allies and our military would be treaty-bound to join the war.

wissportsfan.bsky.social•3 days ago

If Putin goes further Trump isn’t going to honor our agreement to NATO

1of81million-kc.bsky.social•3 days ago

What Americans can do for Ukraine.

A Go Fund/Ukraine from the citizens of America. I don't have the influence as large accounts do.

I would be willing to contribute & I bet after the way Zelenskyy was treated today, other will donate as well.

Who will take up the challenge?

mdclifford.bsky.social•1 day ago

We help Ukraine to save our own asses from Putin war machine. “Fight them over there so we don’t have to fight here” has been US policy. We gave old weapons, restricted how to use them. We were not our best. CRUSH trump/putin regime!

betoorourke.bsky.social•3 days ago

In other words, Ukraine is shouldering the total cost in terms of the fighting, the lives forever damaged and the lives lost so that we and our European allies don’t have to.

betoorourke.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump and Vance are not only abandoning Ukraine. They are abandoning the security of our country. Today they made it much more likely that our service members will be fighting again in Europe, 80 years after we helped liberate the continent and make it safe for democracy.

Shameful.

elderreed.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am outraged as many Americans are if comments on articles addressing the treatment of President Zelinski today by thugs named Trump and Vance

rbcharis.bsky.social•3 days ago

..and because we talked them into giving up nuclear power in return for our protection.

idiotsavvant.bsky.social•2 days ago

Most people don’t know this. We owe them our protection.

mtnmona.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are thugs! They have got to GO

debbiecruz.bsky.social•1 day ago
