Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Editor Commentary: Five years ago, I wrote about how the politics of stupidity and crankery in America was degrading us as a society and human beings. That was January 2020. It’s only gotten so much worse.

People making a big deal out of Michelle Obama not attending Donald Trump's inauguration seemed not to mind when an outgoing president, Donald Trump, refused to attend the inauguration of the incoming president, Joe Biden, thereby undermining the ceremonial transfer of power between presidents.

As long as I live, I will never understand why America would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

In 2025 going along to get along is not an option. Our political leaders are not going to step up. Ordinary people must fill the gap. Thanks to Eva Marie Kogel for resigning after her paper published an Elon Musk editorial supporting a fascist party. No pasaran www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Putin taught Republicans how to weaponize transphobia to steal the 2024 election. Republicans have no political platform, except parroting Russian propaganda to demonize liberals and LGBTQ.

Orbán and Putin are part of the new Axis of Evil that Donald Trump and Elon Musk desperately want America to join along with Netanyahu, MBS, MBZ, Milei, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Erdogan, Lukashenko, Modi, el-Sisi and far-right elements (e.g. AfD and Le Pen) in some pro-democracy nation-state allies.

The incoming felon-elect is willing to send our troops to “take back the Panama Canal” in order to stop their government from investigating his businesses there, but he says that lowering the price of groceries here at home will be “too hard.” Anyone else see a problem here?

I'm so tired of him. I'm tired of people pretending he's not an idiot. I'm tired of immorality and cruelty. I'm tired of his inability to say anything kind or intelligent. I'm tired of his drama and chaos. I'm tired of his face. I'm tired of his voice It's going to be a long 4 years. #USDemocracy

Dear @cnn.com Invading sovereign countries is the work of fascist leaders. Referring to such threats as "teasing" is what compliant state propaganda does. Just as Trump takes lessons from Putin you could get workshop training for your editors from Russian state media. Canada will resist.

Congrats Trump voters. You elected a serial sexual predator who brags about grabbing women by the pussy & surrounds himself with rapists, sex traffickers & pedophiles, but at least you’re “protecting” your daughter from the nonexistent trans boy on her middle school basketball team.

Canada, UK, Germany are primary targets for the Russia right now. Elon Musk is helping the Kremlin amplify its influence operations and bankrolling the politicians favourable to Putin. This is an attack on democracy and an operation to decrease support and aid for Ukraine.

For those keeping score, Trump should’ve been prosecuted by DOJ in 2017 for his crimes with Russia to become president in 2016, convicted by the Senate in Impeachment #1 for extorting Zelensky and in Impeachment #2 for trying to overturn the 2020 election, and prosecuted sooner by Garland’s DOJ.
