Just a thought.......maybe one of these countries could send some skilled "Tourists" here to deal with Trump, Musk and the others seeing nobody here in the states seems to have any balls to do something.
The US economy has the potential to affect the economies of other nations. The US military is large and still dangerous and embedded with many other nations. If a criminal intent on using our assets to bully, steal, kill, and conquer then the world has to respond with a firm hand this time.
Sad, but extremely encouraging. The world recognizes the danger Trump poses and will prepare to confront him. It will be temporarily difficult for us while he is president. But hopefully, it will result in him no longer being president and a return to sane policies in the US once more.
I don't think things will be anything close to what they were. United states has a culture problem that has shown it self. Your government has overstepped the line in such way no one will ever trust you again. I am so sorry but where were the democrats during the election!
Because of how our nation is structured, smaller states that generally vote Republican and have Republican state legislatures were able to suppress the vote of Democrats through various means. Our electoral college causes us harm. There is speculation that Musk had access to voting machines.
I hope you see that day, and I hope a sufficient majority understand the urgency to change your political system. There are so many democratic systems that only give the leader one vote, just like every other elected official. No one should be able to bankroll a candidate.
I know but I hope they block America out of anymore events and list us as a danger to the rest of the world as long as he's in charge.. Which really he shouldn't be
Sadly, I could see it coming. The signs were all there. Straight out of the 'Strongman Handbook' used for centuries of History. Russian, Chinese & Iranian disinformation/ misinformation, disguised as 'American' opinion on social media assisted setting the stage for Authoritarism. Putin is the cause!
They are cowards..which is dangerous! Totally agree. Legacy Media and some Social Media have a lot to answer for! I cannot bear to watch them. I check many independent sources these days.
Love the US, don’t get me wrong, but Trump’s tanking the economy. 😵💫 So yeah, I’m happy this is happening. Tbh, other countries should just support each other 🌍🚫Maybe the MAGAs will wake up when they aren't getting the things they are accustomed to ... not holding my breath tho. 🙄
We all must unite & stand with EU/Canada/Mexico as one team against Trump regime. Stop spending, boycott the US economy, boycott red states, and shut the government down. Punch back harder. The only way to subdue bullies.
The same. My county is the largest in the state with dem majority. But my State has a zero federal representative due to heavy gerrymandering. I have been shopping only liberal areas/cities/stores when I do and simplified my lifestyle. And donate the savings to elect dems nationwide. No other way.
Kudos! Putting your money where your mouth is the way we will fight this. I’m also adding support for independent media through subscriptions where I can. A extra $100 a month is hard for me.
Yes, Bluesky is great for venting & ideas, but we absolutely need strong media & strong voices to win.
Totally agree. I've been monthly sustainer for local NPR and another non-profit media for several years. I try to stretch as far as I can. It's getting harder but I don't mind eating PBJ daily if I have to. We got this! Keep up the good work!
a thought, change party and vote for moderates in the republican primaries? the idea of doing that is revolting, but with little choice in an entrenched republican county or state if enough people did that maybe the extremism can be dialed back?
Dems in my state, Utah, has been doing this forca while. I am a registered Republican for that reason. We participate in Republican primaries to vote against radical MAGAs. And vote for dems in general elections.
I switched back to Republican party a few years ago just to participate in the primaries to vote radical MAGA out. Many dems in my state are registered Republican for that reason, and it has been effective. We voted out radical MAGAs. This seems only a practical option we have atm.
Hmmmm. I work in a big metropolitan city but my county of voter registration where my home is located is 92% Republican so in truth, my vote makes no difference anyway.
I've thought of this, too, but I just can't make it make sense.
but to me it just feels wrong somehow. I realize my instinct doesn't mean I"m right ... maybe someone more experienced than I am in politics can chime in?
Honestly, America, We don't want this. You are our friends, but he is going to bully the hell out of Europe and he's showing where his loyalties lie with someone who shows TV images of a nuclear weapon hitting Britain and literally obliterating us. You don't allow that to happen without intent.
Do what you got to do to look out for yourselves. Sane America will understand and anything that you can do that hurts Trump, even if it hurts people and our country will hasten the day the grown ups get back in charge.
Don't fret. Save yourselves. But also know, shutting out the US will be detrimental to these monsters. No one survives when their oxygen is cut off. Esp the Orange One. Do it.
American here:this country has been sliding into Fascism for awhile. Let us be the lesson that you need to stomp out the infections in your own countries mercilessly, because the plan has ALWAYS been to enslave the world. Not just the US. This is the START. Do NOT let this happen to you. DO NOT FALL
Thank you. I hope it doesn't come to that for you guys, I really do. Those in power are ruthless but not as bright as we keep being told. I take hope in that only 32% elected them and many of those are MAGreters. So there are more of you & you have to fight like shit to stop it.
We know. It is fine. We expect everyone to protect themselves from trump and his f. Dangerous administration and ideas. Run.. Hopefully this will end fast. But I know the damage is done.
Yeah so I guess it really is up to the rest of the world to take care of this lunatic. Americans are still sitting around in their “it can’t happen here” bubble because you know, “American exceptionalism” or something. 🤦♀️🤬
France is aligned with the rest of Europe. Ukraine will stand. What depends now is do we send boots into Ukraine to help now? It might be the best solution.
Trump seems determined to start WW3 to impress his idol, Putin. Trump should be considered a menace to society and MAGA should be declared a violent domestic terrorists group. Throw Trump OUT of the White House.
I refuse to believe that the EU did not have a contingency plan for Trump winning and all the chaos that would come with it. It’s probably days before Trump announces NATO as “outdated “ and gets the f out.
If kids locked up in cages, a million Covid deaths and January 6th wasn't enough, I shudder to think what will be. The US is like a crack addict that needs to hit bottom in order to recover.
They are the first people I worried about when I realized he won. It broke my heart that half of my country cared so little for the people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🥺😭 As for the rest of the country…..
Me too, I think about them all the time, during the whole election, they are an independent country, they are not part of the sovietic union for almost 4 decades, and they have the rights to associate with the European Union, Its their country, their rights. 🇺🇦
#StandWithUkraine
It’s not all about Trump. It’s about security guarantees . The Ukraine Russian negotiation might begin before June Nato Summit in DH so EU needs their plan ready.
Europe will respond. We will be more United as we have no choice. America is walking away but excluding our voice from the table even though they are leaving us to defend Ukraine. Laughable.
I would not trust America if I was a world leader. I’m a citizen and I don’t trust America. I don’t even trust a lot of my fellow citizens! Have you talked to these mouth breathers?! They are racist sexist idiots.
Someone has to be leader of the free world, and take up the reins of to save us! The rampaging orange monkey needs to be stomped out by the real free world. Sadly monkey has made us an ally of Putin.
I hope they deal with the felon as harshly as possible. EMBARRASS HIM REPEATEDLY.Have World Meetings in countries he his banned from mute the moron.When he can attend shun him and laugh.
It occurs to me that the voters fucked over Obama (my most favorite president) in 2010 and 2014, as well. He could have done so much more for this country, but wasn't given the chance. First he lost the House, then he lost the Senate. It certainly wasn't his fault on either occasion - it was theirs.
They have democracies and more freedoms than we do and they will protect themselves first as they should. It's up to us to protect ours from our own domestic threats.
but behind all that there has to be a will to resist, to sacrifice lives and fortunes, everything short of sacred honor, that is what I am worried about.
They’ve been down this road recently enough to know exactly how dangerous musktrump is.
A lot of our MSM, as well as even more local news stations and newspapers are controlled by the right, so they’re fine with it. (Looking at you, Sinclair, you assholes! (Sorry, but they are).)
Europe: USA is unreliable! We need to prepare for war!!!!!!
"On April 4, 1949, representatives of the United States, Canada, and 10 Western European nations met in Washington, DC, to sign a mutual defense pact against possible aggression from the Soviet Union"
YOU'VE HAD 76 YEARS! SAVE THE DRAMA!
The day putin visits the WH is the day we cannot let happen. When he comes, he will come to rule. And trump & Vance will have made it very easy for him.
As a student of US history, I would say up to a third of Americans have always been kind of nuts and susceptible to this kind of misinformation. What you are experiencing now is the revenge of people who never got over Appomattox and never believed in democracy or equality to begin with.
Unfortunately for my friends in the US, maybe it is time to dissolve NATO and for Europe to start their own alliance and admit Ukraine. Fuck trump and double fuck putler
Only if there are consequences. They don't arrest him although found guilty. He has never known accountability. His wealth has kept him free. Justice system is messed up. Leaders should be held to a higher standard and not be excluded from justice.
Im so resistant to conspiracy theories now. Ever since the Democrats created a scamdemic, staged the insurrection, falsely accused Trump of 34 criminal acts, and, created Red state weather disaster via cloud seeding.
But,were I capable of understanding all this cyber shyte, I could be convinced. 🤷🏻♀️😂
American exceptionalism leads people in the US to ignore international media and get all their news and politics from US sources... TV, Print, Online, and it is all propaganda from oligarch owned media who kiss Trump/Musk ass. It's a wall of disinformation
Cause most people hate politics and live in echo chambers refusing to realize how much politics actually impacts our daily lives.We’ve been conditioned to never talk about politics or religion..worst advice ever, resulting in lack of voters and uninformed, misinformed, disinformed voters.
It’s been a slow consistent machine of propaganda and hate that really picked up after (gasp!) a black man made the White House. Covid really helped further the social isolation, fear and distrust… the shrinking middle class…and well.. the US doesn’t like investing in education at all…. So…. 🙄
Education is in absolute shambles. Hard to believe it’s going to get worse. But, it is. Many 20 and 30 year veteran teachers are getting out. They are Soooo done. And what will be left are people who step up, last one year (if that) and get the hell out.
Exactly..36% of our fellow Americans just didn't care! Entitled people who will always expect everything in their lives exactly as it always is! Until it isn't! Very sad..😥
In my household, which included my kids as well as my partner’s, the rule was; “If you are old enough to vote, you will register to vote, and you WILL vote. Vote for whoever you want but, own it”. They are all voting adults now and still call me to let me know they have. 😂
Friends viewing each other with suspicion. Alliances strained to the breaking point. Very sad. This is what Putin has dreamt of for the past quarter century. In these moments we must reflect on the past and remember that it need not be this way.
As a US citizen, I see that many of us agree on this. Shut the US OUT. There are only two ways to end a cancer - kill it or starve it. The corporate fascists who have taken over here MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE OVER EUROPE. We will do all we can but without international support, likely will fail.
It doe's seem there is nothing more a politician likes than a villain. We are spoilt for choice, but the one leader to stand apart is President Zelensky he really is an inspirational man of conscience.
We are never going to get out of this Authoritarian State until you unplug and start over with your purchase power. You helped fuel their hate by enabling them. #boycott #tesla #meta #x and any advertisers who use these platforms. You are currently in your own way. Period. The end! Wake the F Up!
They should BAN X, META & tariff Tesla to the hilt. EU does have stricter laws than we do. Canada shares land with France & Denmark. They should join with Europe in he EU. #StrongerTogether Ukraine is now in #ICC. Perhaps Biden can let #ICC in & arrest f47!🧐
Once Trump starts with the ethnic cleaning of Gaza, that would be a war crime, right? The Hague should have something to say about that! Perhaps Jack Smith would be able to finish his job? 🤔
F47 has sanctioned #ICC to protect his buddy Bibi. Biden must use his immunity to let the Hague in if he has the spine to do it. He told a group of reporters in the Rose Garden in early Jan that 'Everything is going to be ok.'😡
I never thought the USA would be the cause of calling for an emergency summit. In less than a month we have gone from a respected leadership to a threat to the world. 🤦🏼♀️
Given loads of misinformation, please include sources for your “breaking” memes. You have room to post them below your images. Until you do, I won’t hit like or repost, and nobody else should either. We need to help with facts and sources, and avoid appearing to push propaganda
I used to think the Dems always had something up their sleeve but that thought just evaporated into thin air after the election. Now some of them are showing a fighting spirit and retaliating as they should. This attitude needs to be seen in the others as well, to counter what’s happening.
Europe has finally awakened to the fact that America is no longer an ally, and now they have to mobilize and figure out how to move forward without them. Sad.
The problem with Europe is that Europe's biggest enemy is Europe. And this is where Trump can be really helpful by using Europe as an enemy. Nothing unites better than a common enemy!
I’m not sure why all the European leaders don’t get together and come arrest Trump and his whole Nazi klan. They are committing crimes against humanity, federal crimes, and I’m sure very soon, if they have not already, international crimes.
Boo fuckin hoo. Europe can start pulling their weight in NATO, or they can shut the fuck up. Start pulling US troops out of EU immediately, and let them handle their own security.
Almost the entire rest of the world recognizes the dangers presented by 47, Musk, and Project 2025. MAGA’s still remain blinded by all the glitter and empty promises. Sad days for US and democracy.
That's a rather silly question. They're in the House and the Senate doing the people's work. Filing lawsuits and whatever else they can do to protect us from the fascists. Wake up.
Oh, I’m awake. All night long worrying. Of course they should file law suits, at a minimum. But , honestly, they should wake up. They should be out there screaming about what’s happening. Podcasts, town halls, protests, any news media that will have them.
If they were trying to show goodwill to work with Republicans, it's so naive. This is not the same republican party. They're all thugs and criminals these days.
Of course Europeans realize that not every American is a MAGA American. It’s just that those MAGA Americans who hold the power now can’t be trusted anymore. In Europe the very strong sentiment is to strengthen European geopolitical powers as long as Trump is in bed with Putin.
Terrible, worst war in Europe and we’re excluded from the talks: only Putin and #felon47 talking & bullying Ukraine, dictating Europe’s terms. Not acceptable. #StopFascism
It is seldom pointed out that the USA's preeminent position in the world post 1945 very much depended on its alliances with European countries. Self interest was the motivating force, not altruism. Trump's current international policy will seriously imperil the USA's security and economic status.
Perhaps Elon the Muck could stop adoring his penis and start thinking about his soul, his heart, his morals, his decency (if it exists), a desire to help others throughout the world. Instead, he spews semen visualizing himself as a real "man" everyone adores. He enjoys hurting people, and himself.
Other countries are literally protesting against our current fascist regime but the mainstream media is not showing it. They want us to feel we are alone. A free press is integral to a democracy. The takeover of our press by fascist billionaires has allowed this travesty.
Because they are not allowed. It is like he controls what the news puts on now. YouTube channels needs to get it on and it has to go viral. We have to be the news now.
It doesn’t matter because another country protesting Trump DOES NOTHING!!!! Read it again and understand. It doesn’t do a thing!!! And it doesn’t MEAN anything!!! America has failed. Now it’s up to the rest of the world to restore sanity. 🙄
No American news media is going to be honest. They are all cowtowing so they can be allowed to follow the traitors around the White House like servile rats.
Good. There is no negotiating with Trump, there is no accommodation with Trump. The only language a bully understands is a punch in the mouth. If the US becomes a pariah nation, well we deserve it.
A past Canadian PM, who I mostly disagree with, hit the nail on the head, basically saying the only way it to stand up to Trump even if it really hurts for a while.
Same here in the US. I hope every shitty policy hurts every Trump voter in a personal way even if others get hurt or it is bad for the country. Trumpism is an addiction like crack and we need to hit bottom in order to recover.
Too little too late. But at least Europe is eventually getting its act together. No more being oblivious, please. Meanwhile Starmer continues to be blind on Brexit or Europe reintegration.
I’m worried that we’re near the point some of us will need to seek asylum and we either won’t be allowed to leave or there won’t be anyone who will take us.
remember at the end of his 1st term he wanted to send military to the Canadian border to keep us safe? Turned to my late husband, Marine vet, and said that fucker is trying to lock us in here, isn't he. He stared at me with a slight nod. He was my safe place/grounder and a great shot 🎯.
I don’t know how us being stuck here would benefit him but I don’t doubt he’d do it if Americans start leaving the US in bigger numbers.
Maybe it’s simply the amusement of shooting fish in a barrel. They’re trapped and can’t do anything.
What in hell is wrong with our nation?
How can you have peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia without having Ukraine involved in the negotiations?
The Europeans must also be there at the negotiating table.
Ok, sure, it's anyone with MAGA or nazi paraphernalia and gestures, the Republican party, and anyone that appears in more than 1 picture next to top leaders. But what can you do with this info?
I was thinking about going down the line of who takes power after the president dies.
So the list would go
1. P 2. VP and so on.
You either get them all in the same place or different places at the same time. You make sure you take out as many as it takes until you get to a non nazi.
important is to get back House/Senate to block as much as possible and impeach Trump. There are 3 House seats to gain for the Dems... in April: 2 in Florida and 1 in New York
MAGA needs to be eradicated. Period. For the last two years they all cried about the probability of Biden starting WW3. Well we are very nearly there now with trump at the helm. His overtly corrupt and/or incompetent cabinet is going to get a lot of people unalived.
Honestly I don't see how you can eradicate 77M red hatters right now without it being strongly immoral. Without you becoming a monster yourself. What you can do is filter out the regime supporters only after they've done heinous things and they've been defeated.
Cut off every dime of US foreign aid to France as long as Macron is ruining their country with unfettered illegal immigration endangering French citizens.
The Daily Blab: "Panic Sets In In Foreign Capitols As Nations Realize Trump Wasn't Just Blowviating About Sacking NATO and JD Enjoys the Company and Ideology of Nazis."
Words elude me. MAGA minion madness backed by money & technobro with Evangelical Christians mixed in are fixated on destroying the world order. I'm stuck US now but rooting for the European team. Regret giving up my resident alien visa to Australia. Never thought I would see this happening.
So we’ve now officially become part of the Access of Evil! Is this like the Star-Trek episode where they transport into an alternate universe and the insignia has a dagger, they all look a tiny bit hotter and and all the ladies dresses just got 2 inches shorter? Hmmm, probably not… 😳
hopefully they will organize the EU, UK, Canada, Mexico into a tight coalition that can coordinate their efforts to defend against and oppose U.S. while DT administration is in power. If we are able take care of our "Dictator" problem before permanent damage is done we can be friends again.
If we CAN'T solve our Dictator problem, they may have to solve it for us and it will take 3 generations before we can be friends and i feel sorry for the 1st generation
I think any number of us would be better friends if the rest of the world solved this problem for us. I , for one, would welcome our new Danish overlords.
Why should another nation fix your shit show? Seriously…WHY is the UsA not revolting? You all look complicit to the outside world. You all look like you agree and are facists. Saying you didn’t vote for him is not enough. YOU are the USA. YOU.
True. We’ve pursued every avenue available to us as private citizens up to now, and we’re finding out that just voting, or protesting, or contacting our representatives - which is our civil duty to do - hasn’t produced any results. 1/2
It seems that only the minions of this administration have the ability to engage in destructive behavior and not face consequences. At this point, many of us are gobsmacked and trying to figure out a path forward. We’ve not had to do this before and we don’t know where to start.
I counter with it is an ishYOU first, not an ishME. You folks need to resist from within. The “appropriate” war for this situation is civil war. Other nations should not be putting their citizens in danger when the US will not stand up for itself!
They are cowards. Talk tough and great at bullying less well equipped "enemies of their way of life" in foreign ́locales, but shite at civil defense. They cannot even firefight without assistance!
I don’t think it would take long to mend relations. I know I personally would not resist an invasion and would beg to take up arms against these fascist traitors.
The Trump/Musk KKKuck KKKult is going to get a really rude awakening when the resources they rely on are GONE. Resistance would be low.

End the Putin regime immediately, however feasibly.
All left-wing parties globally must have secure hotlines to each other, and plan and act jointly.
Finally, doxx the oligarchs. They must always be in earshot of peaceful protest.
The Allies had to reduce the place to rubble.
I wonder how many operatives were sacrificed to Putin?
A lot of our MSM, as well as even more local news stations and newspapers are controlled by the right, so they’re fine with it. (Looking at you, Sinclair, you assholes! (Sorry, but they are).)

Trump only carries 31. 78% of Americans voters...
And, they know that he’s a complete moron!
But,were I capable of understanding all this cyber shyte, I could be convinced. 🤷🏻♀️😂
Trump’s minions are perennial morons themselves, so they just see a mirror image.

Ukraine seems more nervous than Dem politicians.
If it can happen here in America ,then it can happen anywhere
‼️
By voting for Trump's picks for his administration they're literally normalizing fascism. That's unacceptable.
Hold on to your gas masks.. Someone will have an itchy trigger finger
That’s why.
“Trump and musk know people”
Do not allow trump to interfere with peace talks.
The truth and nothing more. Not sponsored by anyone.
This is probably wishful thinking, but maybe they’ll come help us?
Please make them stand up to trump.
One punch
That’s all I’m asking.
Maybe it’s simply the amusement of shooting fish in a barrel. They’re trapped and can’t do anything.
How can you have peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia without having Ukraine involved in the negotiations?
The Europeans must also be there at the negotiating table.
Every country needs to back Zelensky 💙💛🇺🇦✊💥
I really hope that there is something in the works, somewhere, to take NAZI Musk out.
So the list would go
1. P 2. VP and so on.
You either get them all in the same place or different places at the same time. You make sure you take out as many as it takes until you get to a non nazi.
Yet Trump is ensuring smaller nations and developing countries seeing the US as unreliable and untrustworthy will cozy up to China
They can accelerate decades of building relationships and trust with other countries into months now
Good job MAGA
2. They always accuse others of what they did or will do. That's called projection.
His only agenda is to tear down burn down and destroy everything..
Being a bigger section of the history books than Hitler was is Trump's only goal.
Everything else is gibberish.
The Trump/Musk KKKuck KKKult is going to get a really rude awakening when the resources they rely on are GONE. Resistance would be low.
