"We are a country that stands up to dictators" when it suits them, maybe. Many other times they've stood up WITH dictators, and supported coups d'etat. Let's not pretend this is so out of character for the US.
George, I adored your persona in the 70s and I admire your courage and wisdom now. You are the perfect example of what America is all about. Thank you for your support of the facts and willfulness to point out the madness and danger of Trump's plans and administration.
Unless you are protesting at the White House against the shameful behaviour of your President, who appears to be Putin's vassal and spokesman then your words mean nothing.
J.D. Vance was Worse, he is the one that was completely disrespectful Not Zelensky, They made a show out of him. They are incapable of sympathy of any form. Even worse are the Americans who are still cheering!
Thank you Governor Walz! The people of all 50 States need to hear a roll call of their Governor's stand on Ukraine. Let's start with this and see if we are indeed still the UNITED States! 🇺🇲🇺🇦
I live in Maine, the entire world knows what my Governor thinks of everything related to Trump and his activity.
This is a poor state that cannot afford to lose it's federal funding and if we can give Trump the middle finger, there is no excuse for the other states to not do so as well.
America is now quite rightly considered a rogue and hostile state by us Europeans. The US-Russian alliance, which of course involves North Korea too is now a clear and present danger to Europe.
We must resist the current administration. We must get out and make sure the special elections are won by Democrats
America is certainly not perfect, in our history our government have made some poor decisions, but that all pales compared to this administration. If we don't act, Putin wins
Heard him on the New Yorker Radio Hour and admired his plain, common sense talk. Was looking forward to having a YouTube fix-it video Dad in the WH. Oh well…
If only that were true... Iran (twice) Chile, most of the central American countries, Indonesia, S Korea, the list of democracies overthrown, coups supported or even instigated by the US is an incredibly long one...
Blue states need to forge their own path now.
Stop paying taxes to the federal government. Shut it down. Trump is nothing without the blue states. He can go be the the king of Maga land and collect a tribute of grits….
This summer when you Americans travel the world on vacation... you better get used to hearing " YANKEE GO HOME " Because we are fed up with all your Trump bullshit... and dont tell me, ' Oh i dint vote for this'.. He's your fucking president. You either deal with worldwide hatred or FIRE HIM
Nazis Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky and used the pretext of his lack of suit and tie as being disrespectful. America, you are now an authoritarian nation siding with dictatorships. Wake up before you can’t.
He's been wearing it for years, appeared before Congress and the UN dressed as he has been. We don't mind, they planned on berating him and making asses of themselves before he even showed up and digging up that old complaint made that evident to me.
Call your senators and congressmen now, especially if you live in a red state. It would only take a few GOP congressmen and senators to cross the aisle to vote to restore USAID, to support Ukraine and Europe and to stand up to Putin. These are Manchurian candidates running a Germany 1938 playbook.
This statement is pathetic cant. Obviously, we’re not that country anymore, and our former allies know it. Don’t try to gull them with this pablum. Hopefully they’re not buying.
Only wish he had given a bit more plain common sense on the debate stage, but surely it didn’t matter since what we saw yesterday is exactly what people apparently wanted and voted for.
Look. Who are we BS'ing. These states are no longer United and haven't been for some time.
It's time to have a serious discussion about SECtioning this country by those who choose NOT to live in an autocratic dictatorship and those that are willing to die to live in one.
Remember Congress sets policy. The president executes it or is impeached. Please put pressure on your Senators and Congressional Reps to avoid World War Three by stopping the war of Russian Aggression.
Where is Obama? And the Clintons? And Harris? I know, there’s a “code” about former presidents and VPs not speaking out against current office holders.
Fuck the code. This is a seminal moment in our nation’s history. They need to be speaking out EVERY DAMN DAY.
I have no doubt that there is a great deal of discussion, etc. going on behind the scenes. We know who they are. I also feel that this is our time/responsibility to stand up, reach past our comfort zones and make the noise - do the work of getting in good trouble.
I agree with that 100%. I also think if they were speaking out, more people would be comfortable reaching past their comfort zones. If there was a protest in DC and Obama, the Clintons, and Harris were there, MILLIONS would show up.
Isn’t it interesting that he’s from Nebraska but the majority of our redneck state sided with Trump? I’m seriously confused and ashamed of how wrong that all seems.
If we had that man in the room instead of JD Vance the world would see leadership in America. Instead the world sees a threat to world peace. That doomsday clock moved one step closer to midnight.
We are all more powerful and united if each one of these men and their horrible companies crumble. You are a total loser if you justify supporting these people, not to mention, lazy, white, racist and bigoted. Sit all the way down and know your place.

Not really. We occasionally do something good like stand up to a dictator but we are usually standing up to protect our own commerce or national defense interests. Not a lot changes but the ship has never sailed.
Trump will be gone in four years. It'll take a decade to repair diplomatic relations.
Some did. The funding of Israel is actually a federal law here and included in our annual budget so stopping it requires an act of Congress and Republicans weren't willing to do that plus that can take years. When Biden wanted to send more to Ukraine, Republicans demanded even more for Israel.
The idea that we are fully in support of genocide is nonsense and an enormous amount of people who voted for Trump did so because they thought he would save the Palestinians. Those people are stupid but still, he won them over with that bullshit.
We had national protests about which president was actually going to stop funding Israel. Trump has ready or has already sent billions more that he put on the table within days of being in office.
I did not vote for Trump and knew it was going to be worse under his leadership but I also understand people who lost entire families not being able to stand behind either party.
Look folks, this is an uncomfortable truth, but Tim Walz is spouting some asinine propaganda to make a good point. We SHOULD be supporting Ukraine, but we more often support murderous right-wing regimes in the name of our national interests. It's been an American matter of course for over 100 years.
Come on George. We stand up to dictators? We’ve empowered more dictators and participated in more destructions of democracies around the world than any other country. He could make this point very easily without erasing our horrid history or being insensitive to the millions our actions killed.
As a veteran working for a key defense position - our country is now less ready for cyber attacks and our infrastructure is now vulnerable modere than ever!
Canada can shut the lights off to our northern states whenever they want now and no other country in the world would give it 2 thoughts.
Trump has eroded our relationships with other countries all in the name of Putin.
With all due respect, sir, I don’t care about your embarrassment. It’s not about you. You have a criminal destroying your country and threatening your neighbours. I want to know what you’re going to do about it, before Canadians die defending our border. Someone there needs to LEAD!
Wow, @normagraham.bsky.social, miss the point much? If Walz isn’t in the leadership position he SHOULD be in right now, he can’t technically lead. Is that really hard to understand?
Why does it take a Canadian to point this out? I keep hearing we stand with Ukraine. We stand with Canada all the while we standby silently and watch it. I’m asking the question what do we do about it? I’m looking in the mirror and asking myself the same thing. What can I do?
There needs to be leadership. Cometh the hour, cometh the man (or woman). If you all had someone to rally behind, you could take back your country from the criminals.
I know it's hard to believe after Trump spent years whining & carrying on after losing to Biden but USUALLY when someone loses a presidential election they just quietly fuck off to mind their own business.
So no matter how much I wish otherwise, Harris is off minding her business & Biden is retired.
When trumpy wasn't president he still lead and dictated republican party actions...shouldn't the leader of the democratic party do the same?
And yes American voters proved their stupidity by not voting for her .
No. Because the norm is that when a presidential candidate loses, they DONT bellyache and cult build for years after the fact. They accept the loss and move on. Currently our leaders are the house and senate minority leaders.
Civil disobedience.strikes.marches.have all changed majority parties policies but they need leaders Harris could be the one leading for restoration of woman's rights .
The playing field was changed when trump showed up..democrats need to play differently now..not become the enemy but be different
maybe Governor Walz should just make himself governor of bordering States (Iowa, ND, SD), until they decide they want to cede their borders and bow to him. Now would be a perfect time given the cowardice of Republicans.
Call 202-224-3121 to reach the U.S. House of Representatives and ask for your representative to
voice your dismay and embarrassment over trump and Vance's vile treatment of Zelensky and their pro Russia stance.
Even Walz must now make the decision of pushing action to stop Trump and his goons or keeping on watching how the USA becomes the USSR (with some strong IV. Reich vibes).
One of the things I had a feeling about but now know for sure. Trump and all the ppl around him were not living in reality and have no clue the entire world just shifted. Not in their favor.
The US created - and supported - a lot of dictators in Latin America and elsewhere. Só i'm not sure if he is really right.
North americans seem to think they are a better country then others.
But they are not.
Well, this isn’t true. The United States has a long history of deposing leaders that were democratically elected, it has supported despots. It’s doing it as we speak. See: Saudi Arabia.
Trump is just dismantling the US sphere of influence and the West as we knew it. No more partners or friends, just vassals, cronies, bootlickers, goons, enemies - and, of course, victims. Welcome to the new United States!
He’s doing a lot more than embarrassing you folks, the world is seeing America in a whole different light and I can assure you this will take years to reverse. The US/Russia axis will be isolated and with the will of the free world. will be defeated.
https://electiontruthalliance.org has eye-opening evidence of issues with vote tabulation. Check out the Mark Thompson YouTube Channel for a recent interview with the statistician.
Vietnam...? Nicaragua...? East Timor...? Afghanistan...? Iraq...? To name a few moments in living history when the US gov't was this corrupt and insane.
I think not living through those times provides a buffer for people to process them, but we literally imprisoned, blacklisted, and executed people for even having supposed connections to Communism. Sure, this is new levels of insane, but it's also more real because it's happening to us.
That's quite a way to handwaive the death, maiming, genocide, and displacement of millions of people in the past 60 years. This government is heinously corrupt and insane, but acting like there isn't a long thread that brought us here is the sort of hopeful thinking that reinforces ultranationalism
Your own "narrative" claim that officials weren't as corrupt then as they are now is what drove me to respond the way that I did. Sure, today it's "murder by denial of service and dismantling of systems" rather than "lie about peace to achieve war and kill millions," but it's corruption all the same
I lived through half of that. That's America being what America really is not America being evil via incompetence and intentional dismantling of the govt. Still, Trump hasn't killed a million people yet so, so far he's beating Bush in that regard.
American fared better through Covid and the economic problems that followed than most. Trump was incompetent but had less than a year left. Biden did a fantastic job but he won't get real historical credit for that for a few decades. After his first term and so far, he will cost us more than Covid.
I guess I voiced my point in a way that isn't super constructive, and that's my fault, but my purpose was to state that they've always been this stupid and insane. We're just seeing it more on TV now; it's the logical endpoint of 60 years of incompetence.
We've been the world's only super power since 1989 and are the richest country ever. Incompetent morons don't achieve those things.
It's really not incompetence, it's greed and commerce that leads to evil. Bush wasn't "wrong" about WMDs in Iraq, he knew they weren't there plus he wanted revenge. ☠️
Afghanistan was a bit of a different story but again, not incompetence but both greed and stubbornness to let OBL go for the time being. We spent a trillion dollars to killed him. Another trillion to stay there after he was dead for some reason. Too much politics, not enough morals.
I mean Nixon literally said in a recorded meeting that they had to destroy people's faith in the American establishment to better centralize power to the executive and continue prosecuting an unwinnable war, which led to 20,000 more dead troops and millions of civilians. Pretty incompetent.
What is happening right now is a direct result of Reagan and the 40 years they've been working on this since. Trump even employs some of those same people who were trying to steal power away to give to the President. That project 2025 group has been printing those for decades.
Yeah, agreed. But it goes further back to Nixon, Kissinger, the southern strategy, and all of the precedents that brought internal and foreign affairs to that point as well.
Oh the world has been seeing it clearly since Raegan, it's just out in the open now. The US just ignored this. The US fed the monsters, and couldn't hide it anymore.
This is much worse, not saying the first wasn't bad.
Trump is emboldened bc while convicted 34x he faced no penalty, impeached 2x - faced no penalty; he has never faced consequences & now he has a population that supported him anyway, Gop to cowardly to do anything, and a justice system so corrupt.
Much worse now with Congressional majority being MAGAts and Felon47 gutting the Executive branch to refill 100% with sycophants, lapdogs, loyalists and bootlickers. First term had some resistance to his madness in place.
Breaks my heart to think America could have been in the hands of Harris and Walz but instead is being overtaken and led to dictatorship by trump and Vance.
Anyone paying attention knew, but from the outside, it doesn't look like enough Americans care.
... Fact: Trump has never cared about embarrassing America. So, Dems, please stop that shit. Trump has ONE objective 💰. It's the rare earth minerals ...
How someone so unfit for the role won is a deeper question for democracy than a reverse conspiracy theory. He probably got the votes - so why did the voters see hope in him?
I was watching the results coming in and they showed the gains trump had in NYC. I realized then she wasn’t going to win. The economy was a big hurdle, people felt unseen, and then those awful protest vote folks. It’s a tragedy.
A disinformation bubble and conspiracy theories including framing the government as being massively corrupt years in the making. The ideal of absolute freedom of speech has been weaponised against the country itself.
She did not come close to winning. There are no recounts that would change the race they have all already been completed. There really isn't anywhere that she could dispute that a difference could have swung the Race. Al Gore actually did win the race in 2000 but Harris didn't.
That's quite a net you are casting, would you care to explain.
There are thousands upon thousands of posts on here, all coming from those nice Americans you deem to exist only in Fairy tales.
There is good and evil everywhere, you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush.
But what about Vladimir Putin's suffering? Don't you care about that? Why does everyone ignore what the USA deep state put Putin through several years ago?
Comments
I mean, I stand with Ukraine too but, without skin in the game I'm not doing anyone there any sort of benefit whatsoever.
If I'm in a years long war, I'm giving no fucks at about moral support from abroad. Get in the fight or, shut up.
Thanks for your love! 💗

What side of history will you be remembered on?
We must fight. We must resist. We, the people.
Stop paying taxes to the federal government. Shut it down. Trump is nothing without the blue states. He can go be the the king of Maga land and collect a tribute of grits….
That’s perfect!
But first, there will be a BANK ROBBERY.
We are in a de facto state of war with Russia.
They've manipulated our elections and installed a Russian operative as president.
Accept this fact and all Trump does makes sense.
Wake up America!
I SAY WE FIRE THE BITCH AND OFFER HER JOB TO SHAY MOSS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK2z4FHbIJY
THE BIG LIE IS THAT TRUMP CARES ABOUT HIS SUPPORTERS.
MAKES SENSE. HE'S ALWAYS BEEN A PEOPLE PERSON.
It's time to have a serious discussion about SECtioning this country by those who choose NOT to live in an autocratic dictatorship and those that are willing to die to live in one.
loyal ally slammed
the world recoils in horror
dump the dictator!

The majority thought they were voting to end it.
Many of us are 100% on your side. I have been trying to stop the funding of Israel for more than 30 years.
At this point, what else can they say?
They should be loudly in Trump's face 24/7 not whimpering puppies with their tails between their legs.
DEMS are an embarrassment just now. They need to do better, but they've become useless and inert.
Trump has eroded our relationships with other countries all in the name of Putin.
The whole Administration are traitors.
“Let’s go with the murderous clown show”
And if you don’t know what Kamala is doing, she has feeds on social media.

Also, democrats don't really organize the same way. We don't follow leaders like we're in a cult.
Welcome to being the minority party. I don't like it either, but I do understand how the game works.

Your value is going down rapidly.
A master class in being a RUSSIAN ASSET.
you completely forgot other presidents have literally fought wars to defend America ?
🇺🇦🤝🇧🇪 Ukraine, count on us !
voice your dismay and embarrassment over trump and Vance's vile treatment of Zelensky and their pro Russia stance.
The largest demographic that voted for Biden and then Harris have a post graduate college degree.
Trump is the result of shitty education.
North americans seem to think they are a better country then others.
But they are not.
Great quote.
I love Gov Walz
His disconnection from reality is complete.
Putin told trump to stop that deal, as he wants the minerals for Russia.
So how does trump get out of this great deal he artfully negotiated?
this is an entirely whole new level of corruption and they're stupid enough to do it on live television for the entire world to see
It's really not incompetence, it's greed and commerce that leads to evil. Bush wasn't "wrong" about WMDs in Iraq, he knew they weren't there plus he wanted revenge. ☠️

Voters didn’t see anything in Trump. They just also didn’t see anything in Harris.
Or maybe they saw that she was a brown woman, and just didn’t vote at all.
There are thousands upon thousands of posts on here, all coming from those nice Americans you deem to exist only in Fairy tales.
There is good and evil everywhere, you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush.
Nah, at this point I just enjoy their awareness that they are pieces of shit by proxy, exactly how they judged everybody else on this planet.
Let us make trump really mad and start donating aid to Ukraine. Every dollar counts as a Fuck you to trump. Good can fight evil with hope
