Just to set one of his many lies straight. Trudeau had not even been elected when Putin was kicked from G8 in 2014. Stephen Harper a conservative, was Prime Minister when Putin was kicked for invading Ukraine.

Crimea to be specific. Obama was president but had no support from the Congress to do anything about it when he made the comment about crossing the red line. Then the Republicans mocked him about it. Odious people & Russia definitely deserved to be kicked out. That’s all Obama could do: encourage Russia’s expulsion from G-8 nation’s group.

Given it's Putin, does it matter who did it given Vlad the Bad really had it coming?

Trump's attempts to be a dictator just as he's losing all semblance of what little sense he had is...astonishing. And to think they railed on about Biden....

Since this "gtr" character is playing games (see https://drive.google.com/file/d/13iu6-34TIiEWGLuGwCqaxx8_I_TccXyV/view?usp=sharing for the one-word response I got!), I'm reporting his ass and recommend everybody block him for being a scammer.

There was several reports that Trump is getting much more aged and mentally and physically has significant problems now and that he would leave the G7 Summit early and find some excuse as it was too hard for him to be able to do that summit.

And he ran away very quickly

My speculation about TRUMP leaving the G7 early:

- He was mad about the parade.

- He did not feel respected by the other leaders

- He wanted a Nobel Prize.

- He used the pretext of urgent peace/war talks.

- He slept all the way back to Washington DC.

Trump has burned all bridges and was a joke at G7. We have NO allies

America should hang her head in shame allowing this to happen. 🤦‍♀️

It’s heartbreaking that Kamala is not our president!

That's why I wear this "Don't blame, I voted for her" shirt everywhere I go 👇

Trumps marching orders from Putin were, “No, I don’t want you to pull out of the G7. I want you to go and recommend that they restore it to the G8.” It’s just that simple.

We in Germany were very impressed by the military parade!

What proud heroes the US military has!

They perfectly sabotaged the entire parade, wandering around, the tanks all driving in zigzags, their uniforms ragged...

what dignified, clear sabotage!

The US military only fights for the Constitution and this wonderful country, never for a king.

We Germans have the greatest respect for the US military.

That squealing tank was magnificent! I love this scene :-)

edit:

and by the way but interessting detail:

the rock-song during the marching of the vietnam-war tanks was a strong protest song against the vietnam-war...

I’m watching on tv…you guys are spectacular. I especially love that orange trumpolini announced Chicago has the worst governor! Then adds in, mayor too. He names Pritzker as worst governor (of Chicago instead of IL)… automatically meaning Pritzker is the best! If trump says it, opposite is true! So proud of my governor!

See Pritzker’s April 2025 speech in New Hampshire to understand why Felon trump hates him.

As a Canadian, I don't appreciate the sentiment that the G7 Summit was ruined because trump made an ass of himself…again. This insinuates that trump is the most important part of the G7 when, in fact, the opposite is true.

They'll get more done now that he has left. He was just a seagull anyway. Swooped in, defecated all over the proceedings, and flew out. Now they can get down to business. He wasn't going to sign anything anyway.

I enjoy your broadcasts but would ask that your team do more research before you use international data in your talks. Today you stated that Canada's population is less than 18 million. Not so. And several times you miss-named our Prime Minister - please get it right from now on. Canada is a large and proud country.

Ben, I have a question for you. I watched your YouTube video about the G7 summit. When Trump, PM Carney, and others were speaking to the press, Carney then took over the narrative. I heard Trump say that the Democratic cities would not be allowed to vote. Can you please confirm that this is what was said? It is quite illegal to stop Americans from voting, but since Trump sent the National Guard and Marines to California, I would think that he may try to invoke some type of action.

Judy Cross's avatar

I get so angry when I hear him putting down everyone else. What a fuc___g lying piece of slime. There are probably more immigrants in Texas and Florida and they are being left alone. I wish he would listen to himself and understand how stupid he sounds. He's not even a politician, let alone a president. He's a nazi at heart and his heart is showing. Maybe it's time for our own organization to protect those who are being assaulted by this regime. Of the people for the people and protect the people. One reason he is pulling back on the immigration for certain industries is because he owns hotels and needs them. He is not going to pay anyone a fair wage. He will exploit them, threat them unfairly and lie about them while saying that his hands are clean. Most dirty hands that any of us will ever seen.

He never knows what he is talking about. Has anyone seen what the government is doing to Democratic Vets? At the VA, the doctors do not have to treat a democrat or single vets if they are Democrats. First, what does party have to do with medical treatment? Second, what about oaths doctors take? They can have treatment, but may have to shop for a doctor that will treat a democrat. This is inexcusable. These people are HEROS, not suckers and losers that tRump calls them. They were good enough to serve our country, not like trump, but not good enough for medical care. I think we should have huge protest on this matter all over our country. I would think that maga would march with us because they served together, saved each other lives and thought of themselves as Americans, not by what party they belonged to. If this could happen to democrats, it could, also, happen to republicans when he tries to get everyone out of his sight, unless they are super rich republicans bending down to the "king."

1. Acceptable Behavior: The VA expects that members of the medical staff will serve diligently, loyally, and cooperatively. They must avoid misconduct and other activities that conflict with their duties; exercise courtesy and dignity; and otherwise conduct themselves, both on and off duty, in a manner that reflects positively upon themselves and VA. Acceptable behavior includes the following (1) being on duty as scheduled. (2) being impartial in carrying out official duties and avoiding any action that might result in, or look as though, a medical staff member is giving preferential treatment to any person, group or organization, (3) not discriminating on the basis of any legally protected status, including legally protected status such as race, color, religion, sex, or prior protected activity in any employment matter or in providing benefits under any law administered by VA.

That same section in the bylaws dating back to 2023 included language about national origin, politics and marital status that was absent in the 2025 bylaws. The 2023 bylaws read, in part (emphasis ours):

When I read what was put out in 2 sources that I trusted, I was so mad and I thought it was true because of what he is doing to our country. Yesterday, I went to our local VFW and they said that it was not true, then I went to The Veterans Administration in my town and asked them. Same answer, then I called the VA and was told this is not true and that many people were calling about the same thing. We were all duped. I am sorry that I trusted my sources and will never trust them again. I put this in the chats because I trusted sources that I have since found out can't be trusted. I am mad at myself for doing it. I will never intentionally tell untruths. I am sorry for any concern that I caused to anyone.

TY for doing the real legwork, i.e., going to the local sources. Since I had not heard about this I just had to get more info on it. Several sources said just what you wrote; but, they all said it COULD happen, and in all reality I think that it COULD.

What appears to be the case right now is that the VA has no intention of denying health care to Veterans. Let's hope it stays that way.

What I was told by the VA was that they do not ask what party their patient is with and are will treat anyone that they should. Parties do not matter in the service, only our Constitution. That's where their oath is.
