I am so beyond embarrassed for our country.
Trump and Vance are humiliating us on the world stage.

Watch how Trump treats a democratically elected leader who is defending his people from a horrific invasion by a vicious dictator. Putin is ecstatic.

It was so difficult to watch. It felt like I was being yelled at by my parents as a kid. Always being shouted down at, I'm not grateful, they know what's best, it was such infantile sophistry and these are supposed to be our leaders. Fucking embarrassing.

jenbarbosa.bsky.social•9 days ago

We’re embarrassed by you too.

neutrin0.bsky.social•9 days ago

Nope - the world sees Republicans for the psychopaths they are.

keiththerunner.bsky.social•9 days ago

My biggest fear is that I won't live long enough to dance at the convicted felon's funeral.

oeskeide.bsky.social•9 days ago

To be fair, they embarrass themselves. We know that you are better.

michaelsmiller.bsky.social•9 days ago

The worst part? The rest of the world knows that it isn’t just these idiots, but the people who voted them into office. Our elected officials are one problem, and the symptom or a larger problem.

patrick-ohlson.ms-dot.net•9 days ago

Yes😔

captainblood.bsky.social•9 days ago

kimmaturebs.bsky.social•9 days ago

Same. This was intentional; nothing spontaneous about it. Our ignoramus Prez and JayPee thought they'd ambuss Zelenskyy and embarrass him. It backfired.

randall1972.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think they're humiliating themselves even more.

silver-phoenix.bsky.social•9 days ago

This kind of damage will become irreparable as it continues.

tomcoates.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's incredibly dispiriting isn't it. America's reputation in the world is not going to recover for a generation, and that's assuming that this is an anomaly and not the foundation of right wing politics for the next couple of decades.

vtdragon.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump and Vance are humiliating us, daily, on the world stage.

It is going to get much worse.

renerebe.bsky.social•9 days ago

Me too Jeri. Me too. And I'm not even American. 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇪🇺 Слава Україні!

PS It is eery how ST Picard managed precisely to foresight what will happen to USA in 2024/25

angelsheart85.bsky.social•8 days ago

What happened in the White House was so saddening and maddening and disgusting to watch... Those 2 do not represent all of the people of the usa and we know u people are not all like this. But yeah something needs to be done about this...should be done... PS our president is similar 😒😒😒 🇷🇸

dewline.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think that if they thought they could get away with it - SCotUS immunity ruling or not - they would have killed him right there. That they didn't suggests that they don't trust that ruling far enough yet.

katere2k.bsky.social•9 days ago

Only the people of the US can change things.
The actors and writers showed how it is done just a short time ago. Get up, do something!

mr-john-b.bsky.social•9 days ago

Beyond sad for 🇺🇸

katznbooks.bsky.social•9 days ago

Skin-crawlingly humiliating.

twoandseven.bsky.social•9 days ago

Say goodbye to being "leader of the free world" I guess. Those two are vile. Not even basic civility when you invite someone into your home.

heyfrito500.bsky.social•9 days ago

The world will not trust the US’s word again for a long long time. America is going to be known as backstabbing and dishonest and opportunistic. That’s something I never dreamed I’d see before Trump

rifka.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tbh it was definitely true in the 18th-20th centuries also and then we did in fact break all those treaties. This is just the international community now existing long enough to get a taste of the flagrant violators who founded our country

danrar.bsky.social•9 days ago

They’re frankly correct to see us as such.

quantum-man.bsky.social•9 days ago

And that will be true forever.

ingmba.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think the US will find itself surprised at how quickly it can be isolated and lose its influence worldwide. Even just for entertainment, people overseas will want options. Non-American options.

incjazzo.bsky.social•9 days ago

No, Trump and the GOP are backstabbing, dishonest, and opportuntic.

Don't put his bullshit on the entire country.

cc-power-1.bsky.social•9 days ago

As an European Citizen I can say: It's not only an embarrassment, it's a threat what he's doing. I am afraid. I am afraid of Trump letting everything down we took for granted. And I am afraid of anyone who's following him. And I'm afraid of whatever falls under this Trash-TV-agenda. This is mayhem!

laurasalterbraaten.bsky.social•9 days ago

It was so painful to watch. Nightmare.

apopularmonster.bsky.social•9 days ago

Will no one save us from this power-hungry madman???

kokorogenic.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don't worry Jeri.. People take them seriously, but only in the right way.

adamjblust.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not just humiliating us.

They are active traitors.

Yes. But who is doing something about it?

Canadian columnist Andrew Coyne in today's Globe & Mail: "The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person." (paywall)

habs48.bsky.social•9 days ago

Look at#47’s track record . He has gamed the system his entire life and now absent of any ideology, ethics and principles he is in way over his head with much too much power which makes him dangerous.

automax.bsky.social•9 days ago

that’s every US president

sabboo.bsky.social•6 days ago

The single most dangerous person in the planet, a traitor and a moron.

jimparrett.bsky.social•9 days ago

But Coyne contributes to this very thing with his war on liberalism he's waged since his days at felon Black's National Post.

zoemom.bsky.social•9 days ago

And who else has those codes now?

We know the difference between the American people and this cabal of authoritarian idiots. We are with you in the fight against this very real threat to your country, my country, and the world.

ingmba.bsky.social•9 days ago

Canada and Europe are now seeing the USA the way most of the rest of the world has seen them for a while now: as a violent bully, who'll claim to love freedom but is fine with using violence and/or blackmail to gain commercially and economically. It's just so transparent now, it's hard to miss.

emarioneaux-art.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah, Me too.. Putin bought and paid for Trump a long time ago.. He is nothing but a Russian asset. Why can't people wake up?? It's so obvious..

neutrin0.bsky.social•9 days ago

Here in the U.K. we understand that not all Americans support Trump. Hold tight - he will implode.

dougdela.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump only knows the "blame the victim" response.
Apparently, Ukraine's skirt was too short. 🙄

darklingday.bsky.social•9 days ago

i never expected America would come out as the bad guy ... very distressing scene to watch a true hero ambushed by two thugs

ericpanzer.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not to diminish the gravity of today, because it may be the worst betrayal and embarrassment in modern US foreign policy, but we've also toppled democratic gov'ts, invaded countries under false pretenses, and did Japanese internment, slavery, and Native American genocide

We've been bad guys before

jilgar.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not just ambushed - also blackmailed

spectralraven379.bsky.social•9 days ago

I couldn't watch the whole clip I was so mad & ashamed

Perceived exceptionalism is a bitch, isn‘t it?

Germany overcame it. Let‘s hope democracy and liberty survive this so USians can overcome, too.

erzherzogbrian.bsky.social•9 days ago

WE have been the bad guy A LOT. Just look up the history of Central America and ANYTHING to do with Native Americans.

cjevans.bsky.social•9 days ago

Forget the blackouts, the token protests, and honk-and-waves.

SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING until these bastards leave!

SURROUND THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE CAPITAL. NO ONE IN, NO ONE OUT.

Block the EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING to prevent them from entering through the tunnels.

#protest #blockade

ricksgamemisc.bsky.social•9 days ago

It was shameful. My jaw was hanging open in disbelief and horror.

norcalgal6.bsky.social•9 days ago

trump and jd got their asses handed to them.

Trying to figure out how to celebrate while also honoring the #boycott

locengineer.bsky.social•9 days ago

I fear it’s a lot worse: too many people seem to conflate money and influence with competence.

Too many rich, ignorant, idiotic psychopaths in power, and struggling, hysterical fools thinking them a solution.

And others thinking them role models
😖 🤬🤦

There's a line from the song, "If I were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof;

"When you're rich, they think you really know..."

We embarrassed ourselves with the way we handled this election on both sides

joergseitz.bsky.social•9 days ago

It is truly truly sad and very scary to see unfold, espercially from a european perspective. Those god damn traitors are selling us all out to their russian overlords, in plain sight and for everyone to see and their entire fucking party just plays along with it. It's horrifying.

john3-16.bsky.social•9 days ago

Whatever happened to “we the people…..”?

bnicolette.bsky.social•9 days ago

Shameful day to be an American

cecefordemocracy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don't be embarrassed for America. Be ashamed of the leadership. And demand the Democrats get their fucking ass out on television and YT to start talking about what is happening.

They are saying social security could crash within 90 days. There will be millions of homeless people if that happens.

atomicdumpling.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, they are. It's fucked and I'm so over this.

peggystuart.bsky.social•9 days ago

On the bright side, Zelenskyy made Turnip and Vance look bad! Maybe people will wake up!

politicallyint.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not with Fox news parroting Trumps lies. And Trump making senators support him as if he were Dear Leader.

red-rebel-13.bsky.social•9 days ago

Agreed times a million!

seeds4earth.bsky.social•9 days ago

Never underestimate how deep a country can fall. Look at North Korea, Russia, china, Hungary. It’s possible for U S too.

msflywheel.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s depressing and terrifying. Trump is acting like it’s a shady contract deal. Throwing threats of war like he’s losing at a game of monopoly. Vance sitting there as his lapdog sucking up to him. Hoping he’ll get a reward from his master. Putin is having a great laugh at all of this.

auricursine.bsky.social•9 days ago

When I was in college, we used to say, in situations like this, “If I wanted to hear shit from you, I’d squeeze your fucking head.”

That wouldn’t have been a bad response to JD Vance today…

jcpow928.bsky.social•9 days ago

Agreed! A total shit show. If we survive the next 4 years, I don’t know what will be left of our country.

colmortimer.bsky.social•9 days ago

They literally ambushed Zelensky, set him up. It was their plan. Trump and Vance are sad, pathetic excuses for human beings and so are those who stand by and say nothing.

angelsheart85.bsky.social•8 days ago

Even worse those who defend them 😤

srivera3.bsky.social•9 days ago

Every news alert I get I keep hoping that this orange fucker died from a massive heart attack

beefy99.bsky.social•9 days ago

This was a setup. This is so obvious. We need to know why this was planned by the Trump people.

bobfrost.bsky.social•9 days ago

Today marks the end of American leadership and greatness on the world stage. Sad.

skarlett-one.bsky.social•9 days ago

That leadership ended the day Biden left office.
