I've been in Washington for 32 years. I have often disagreed with U.S. administrations. But this is the first time in all that time that I believe the U.S. government is an enemy of the people of the United States and our allies.

Sorry to say the sooner we come to that conclusion, the better. If only the press would report it that way. The lead is always buried. Democratic Party messaging is not the story. How we live through and fight this is the real story.
Canadians certainly feel this way, David. It's as though Trump is channeling Al Capone.
"Nice country you have. I'd be a shame if something happened to it."
We're at a tipping point, an existential moment, and there's no turning away from it. We've reached the Rubicon.
Even this is more sinister that most suspect. This was a coordinated effort to remove Zelensky. Coordinated between Putin, Trump, Vance, Lindsey and probably more. That is why they were asking for elections and calling Zelensky a dictator in the setup to the ambush. Support Zelensky now.
They truly are, now who’s going to rescue us from them? They won’t be holding elections again, so we can’t just vote them out of office. Someone somewhere needs to have a plan.
This is how this goes. Isolationist policy to domestic economic collapse to popular upheaval to global conflict to declaration of war, suspension of democracy and, of course, forced conscription. Likely in 3 to 4 yrs. Odds are high last election was our last.
Hold up. You've been an analysist and commentator for three decades, presumably with an expansive education of US and world history, and you believed that the US was ever a truely beneficial to the general public?
Dear Mr President Zelensky Show pictures and videos from the war in your country .
Maga People “dont know “
what the russian soldiers are doing with your families .🙏💛💙🆘🆘🆘🆘
How many Americans voted so that our country could alienate all of our allies & become a rubber stamp for whatever Putin wants to do. My guess is very few. We don’t have to continue on this path. Third times a charm though… impeach the S.O.B.!
They are betraying everything that America has represented. What was supposed to be 'our' government is now in the hands of soulless men and women whose only concern is their bank accounts, their stomachs, and their genitals.
Everything Trump has done since in office has only weakened out country & shamed us & weakened our position on the global stage. He’s the enemy from within.
I don’t say this to open old wounds, but I always thought comparing Bush 2 to Hilter was really unfair. I hope people choose their insults carefully next time because this time we do have a Hitler. Can’t cry wolf every time you disagree with an elected official.
I totally understand that, especially after today. But it isn't the US, it's our government, which we no longer own. They are dangerous not only to you in Canada, but to us here in the US. We've been taken over.
And no-one is coming to save us. We will have to save ourselves from this power grab and oligarchic rule. We cannot wait for 4 yrs and hope/wish for a free and fair election. That isn't coming on its own.
It was an utter disgrace. A sitting POTUS was doing the bidding of the Kremlin from the OVAL. There's NEVER been a lower point for the US on the World's Stage! The US has become a scourge that is not to be trusted by ALLIES & he has brought much shame to the Nation. He is a shameful BASTARD!
I've thought that for more than 40 years. Ever since the corporate Dems jumped on the neoliberal bandwagon with the GOP and sold us out to enrich themselves.
They can all burn in hell for their betrayal.
Cuz it’s a Putin installed government of corrupt criminals - election was rigged - millions of votes purged - w/swing states using same algorithms Russia used to ensure the murderous former KGB bloke to win his elections and remain in power 💪
February 28, 2025 will be remembered as the day the United States ended its participation in the post World War II order which it itself helped create. This was done without a single debate or vote by its Congress.
How about when your elected administration wants to redraw the borders of your Canadian neibourgh? (I often make spelling error in that word but I know what it means)
It’s now incontrovertible. I’ve never been more worried for our future and the future of our kids than I am right now. And there’s every reason to believe it will get so much worse.
I wish the Democrats in Congress would act like they know it, too, and would be moved to actually do something about it now—even if it were to call for and help mobilize mass public demonstrations. It’s what is needed.
It is up to us. Keep pressuring all local elected officials...yes even the red ones. No one is coming to save us. Start scouting people you can trust and build a network.
Can we ALL PLEASE start using the name KRASNOV when we speak of FELON47? He just disgraced our country at a level I have never seen before or thought imaginable!
The U.S. government is not an enemy of the U.S. people, but the Trump administration is. The U.S. government is still largely composed of civil servants who want to protect and serve the American public.
I see where you're coming from, but I'm now wed to the idea that Trump won fair and square because my country is actually, previously unbeknownst to me, full of shitheads, morons, and ignoramuses. The horrible truth is that we have the government we deserve.
If you guys aren’t organizing to be in the streets in support of Ukraine ALL weekend (THIS WEEKEND), THEN you will be in more serious trouble than you already are
They’re relying on the US sense of exceptionalism to ensure the complacency of their citizens
You guys outnumber them
Time to act like it
Looks like Trump/Vance will have some 'splaining to do to their Master Putin for having failed to make the deal.
Mr Zelensky behaved
in the best interests of his countrymen, Trump did not.

But for his diaper, we'd see the tiny mushroom erect every time he meets with Putin.
TRUMP IS A TRAITOR!

Thanks Republicans (and a few Democrats too). 🖕
How do we do that?
Russia invaded our country too, he just used a different tool as a weapon.
TRUMP DOES NOT SPEAK FOR AMERICA
because he does not speak for DEMOCRACY
They can all burn in hell for their betrayal.

FYI: there are none and law and order are dead.
- what we spend or don’t spend
- whether we work or don’t work
They endorsed and stood by this for almost a decade now. They own this $hit$how that the rest of us will have to clean up.

If you don't mind leaving your guns at the door, we'll throw in free healthcare and education.
You can bring your Bible or similar reading materials, but we don't spend too much time on these things over here 🤷
I know there's a dedicated visa program for specialists.
Ofc, it's not all sunshine and rainbows (been a while since I even saw the sun 🤔). But we do have "hygge"
