Hey "independents" you get that? You spiteful women, brown, black and white voters wanting to probe a point...hope you're happy with the outcome of your spite.
I was always worried for Zelensky when I heard he was agreeable to a deal with Trump. Never for a minute doubted that Trump would display his deference for Putin and to try to intimidate Zelensky.
Well, today we got to see that play out - thanks to media.
And that tag-team of Trump & Vance was nothing more than the abuse they've show to everyone they consider 'opposition'. Other countries.... other leaders.... legislation.... courts..... they think they're above them all.
This is a ROGUE government and Americans should be ashamed.
If Trump says Ukraine "isn't ready for peace," what he means is that the victim isn't ready to accept that he can be assaulted at any time without consequence to the bully.
Money where our mouths are, or in my case my rage. There's the official Ukrainian website for donations if anyone can/wants to donate. Bonus points: it will piss off Krasnov to know that donations went up after his fake tough guy bs today.
White House: Trump/ Vance acted like Al Capone, but in plain sight. With a clear ideology of imperialism going hand in hand with Putin. This is the real start of possible extended worldwide conflicts.
You are misinformed just like 1/3 of those that voted for dirtbag 47. He does not represent the majority. We kindly ask anyone outside of America to pause before making these assumptions. The majority is embarrassed, repulsed, angry & sorry for the shit show. We are protesting. We need your support.
Of course not. I'm American, didn't vote for this AH, and stand with Ukraine. I meant "America" as in like... the leadership, I guess. The "command decisions", if you will
Well… if you look into the analysis work that https://electiontruthalliance.org and https://smartelections.us are doing, it was very likely a lot more than 48.3%! They have a lot of info about how the voting numbers are very strange in the swing states. Take a look, and spread the word!
Ironically, the fact that the voters loathe taking a side between imperfection and outright malice towards all things good and kind was definitely a factor in this result.
It's funny, voters will stop acting like Trump's the worst thing to happen to us when Democrats winning is the alternative.
Oh my God no the fuck he isn't! He just happens to be the guy who's in charge of the country being treated like a political football right now! He's a right wing nationalist crank who oversaw a literal fucking racial pogrom and did nothing about it! He's not a hero, don't treat him like one!
The invasion by Russia, the brutality and barbarity of the butchery that followed was every bit that of the Hamas attack on Israel that horrible day on October 7.
It’s inconceivable to me that Republicans are now on board with a pro-Russian version of this.
YES.
In an essay “To a Concerned Friend” after 1967 War, Wiesel stressed that meaning of victory in the Jewish tradition is primarily victory over oneself & that victory doesn't depend upon crushing one’s opponent, for this reason the Jew has never been an executioner; he's almost always the victim
Trump during WWII demanding that Churchill worship him and then asks, what's in it for America? Where do I put my hotels and golf courses? You got a job for Eric? Maybe you could buy boots from Ivanka.
Democracy thrives when we show up! Between elections, town halls keep reps accountable. If they ignore you, get loud—hit the news, social media, and the streets! Their absence is their problem. Your engagement is your power
Great advice! NATO needs to get troops on the war front, add 1,000’s of drowns and then declare war on Russia. Give the order to attack and order the deaths of Russian males 16 and older. Put the heat on Russian men! The threat is greater than the execution. Or become Putins caged bitch?

Elie Wiesel would be so shocked to know that the Zionists are the ones using their considerable influence to quash all mention of Israel's horrific genocide. If only he were alive to appreciate how, unbelievably, the tables have turned. The victims have become the perpetrators.
I taught Wiesel to my HS ELA class. It was my honor give give students from an urban setting a window into yet another culture of people who've been bullied.
I gave the students Weisel's background & introduced his other books. I also played videos from the DC Holocaust Museum. Whole unit was pretty intense but they seemed to appreciate it.
It is rough - we can't say anything - I was actually reprimanded last week about the inflection I used at the end of the Pledge of Allegiance - "with Liberty and Justice for All". I'm on my way out!
The quote is an awful principle except in a few uncommon contexts 😝
The context it needs: First check if there's actually an oppressor. Second check if taking sides will help or just make a bigger mess. Only then take sides.
Lots of fights are just two people being petty and escalating!
I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again. People really need to look into the history of this guy. Because where it’s coming from was the fact that he had to deal with the holocaust as a survivor.
Name an entity with more power to oppress and actual engagement in oppression than the US government? Native Americans, Japanese Americans. Small business oppressed by expensive and nearly useless whimsical and contradictory bureaucratic rules. The taxpayer extorted by the IRS. Etc etc etc.
Okay, but I'm not necessarily going to take the side of the controlled opposition. I can oppose Zionism without being antisemitic. I can oppose Hamas with equal vigor, but insist that Gazans be treated humanely.
And the bottom line..... what American did NOT know that already.... before the last election?
Every American who voted for Republicans and Trump will be responsible for any escalation of the war on Ukraine by Putin's Russia.
Meh. That’s saying to be closed minded. Unless you’re sure you have all the accurate information you need to make an informed decision, don’t take sides. Not everything is good vs evil at first glance. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
yeah and never forgive them because it will make them feel like they got the green light to forgive themselves. fuck em all. don't hand them that luxury. let them burn
Resist Tyranny. Prepare for the absolute worst. Protect yourselves. Organize and reach out to other groups. Stock up on food and water and vitamins and protection. Educate yourself or take training classes. Just stock up. Be bold. Survive. Be strong. We need to VANQUISH FASCISM NOW!!!
Calm down, Ryan. Your elected government just showed up the stupidity of the voters of America. It's just too damned bad that the incompetents Americans elected can cause so much anguish to other countries & leaders of those countries. Zelensky shines. Trump and Vance look, and sound, like thugs.
Were any Americans watching what happened in France this past summer? When right wing radicals & Nazi supporters came too close to toppling Macron's government, the country erupted & political parties united to stop the election of that radical party. If France could do it, why couldn't Americans?
The last part of your sentence is very obvious and very true. Now every smarter American has to start asking how that 'brainwashing'
came about. And why Americans didn't stop it when they recognized it?
Americans turned out to vote. Kamala should be our president. Gerrymandering, massive voter suppression, Putin & Elon created the results we are faced with. There are protests but it’s fragmented. I’m trying to figure out who and how to consolidate efforts. I think many of us feel lost.
Sure can relate to that.. . Canada was also feeling 'lost' up until a few months ago, when a candidate stepped up to lead our country who's more than qualified on all the issues we face. Start with writing your Democrat members; tell them what you're upset by. Don't expect responses; you're heard.
Citizens United passed and there was audible slam of the coffin lid on our Democracy.
Now 5 billionaires are running the place.
And the jerks who created that and Republican gerrymandering in 2010 are either dead or senile and subsequent generations don’t understand how it all happened. Idiocracy.
Thank you I don’t hear people talk about this enough (and why you can’t trust Democrats that take that money too).
This is why people said “I’m voting! We’re voting! But it doesn’t matter!”
And then quit voting….
We need sooo much reform…….
Your Trump was impeached TWICE.... once over dealings with Ukraine. But the American voters returned him to power... even after he was convicted of 34 additional issues - criminally. I don't think Americans ever learn lessons.
I really REALLY wish this comment would just take a
FULL STOP. ✋🏼
The rumor that he won the mandate in a landslide is ANOTHER one of his lies.
And I’m not sorry for the all caps. It’s how I emphasize. 😊
He’s got a point tho- capitalism is what led us here. Trump is merely an actor proving how the system benefits only the wealthy. Then private property, class divisions, and “free market” keep them powerful. Perhaps it is that dire?
This is no time to be challenging 'capitalism'. This is a time to find any and every way to stop Trump and his appointed goons. Write your Democrat representative and ask what you can do to help.

Make a new side.
SLAVA UKRAINE!!!🇺🇦
FUCK TRUMP & JD VANCE!!!
These Republican asswipes have never served OUR COUNTRY a day in their lives.
Zelensky HAS BEEN IN A WAR FIGHTING THE RUSSIANS FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS!!
ALL POWER TO UKRAINE!!!
DRAG THEM OUT OF OFFICE NOW!

Just like every other country.
The people aren’t the politics.
The people are just the ones who die first and suffer the most.
There’s a second act to this play. Hang in there, freedom fighters and defenders of democracy.
