We knew this was coming. If I were Zelenskyy I’d just ignore Trump and continue with NATO’s help.

Mr. Joseph Rapai's avatar

All of the free world will now embrace Ukraine 🇺🇦 . Trump now becomes an an accomplice of Putin . Develops Crimea for a next resort.

Robin's avatar

And the free world just may be coming to our rescue soon enough.. I want to hear from Mattis, the Bush’s John Kerry and Condy Rice ?? Where tf are they??? Please tell me why they are not more vocal .. when the fuck did we start hating Canadians and drop on our knees for a thug in Russia? My God. The Republican Party has gone insane

Trump has now lost his statice as President twice. President Putin / President Musk. That's what begging for money gets you. And Republican House & Senate will all have to kiss 3 butts now.

Scott Bump's avatar

Agreed! Donald can be bought! His next door Russian that rummaged in our classified documents! What secrets has he given Putin yesterday? Its well known that Donald is Stupid!

Sad and sick. Blame the assholes behind the apprentice for filling Trumps head full of visions of grandeur

Robin's avatar

I blame the republicans in 2016 for giving Trump the nomination.. should have dusted Huckabee off a bit more and backed him financially. Trump’s vapid, bloviating bullshit appealed to delegates.. Wall Street leaned on the GOP and here we are..

I blame Scotus. The Biggest violators of the Constitution & American. Those Republican SCotus are loyal to Nothing but the Dollars under the table

Fox News AKA Russian propaganda Channel State TV. Brainwashed the Millions of viewers who only watch that channel 24/7. I watched my husband of 53 years go from being a Democrat to a fall blown Trumper after only watching Fox News. When I try to talk to him and give him facts he says I have Trump derangement syndrome. I know I am not alone in losing family members to the lies of Fox News.

The Republicans are showing their TRUE COLORS!

They are complete assholes, greedy self centered assholes. They will RUE the day they took Putins side, the free world is now against us. We used to LEAD the free world, not any more, now they disdain us.

THANKS MAGA VOTERS!

Lois's avatar

This is all old news already because he has been telegraphing all this - everything he's doing for the last 4 years. We already knew the Republicans are only in service to Trump - and apparently corporate media, major corporations, government institutions that are still around are also bowing down to him Google included. This is what the people voted for. There doesn't seem to be anyone but our indie news people including Meidas that are standing up to him. The Democrats so far are completely and utterly ineffectual. Maybe when Congress votes to approve the invasion of Canada more people will wake up.

Sher Culbertson's avatar

There are a FEW Democrats who are standing up to them.Crockett, Buttigeig, the state of Illinois,and a few others

Cindy K's avatar

I call at least 10 democratic Congressman a day and ask them to fight for us. I'm so sick of their old school thinking of working across the aisle. Bipartisanship is dead! We elected them, pay their salaries so that they can our voice. They need to fight for us NOW before our democracy is dead.

Linda's avatar

Blaming the Dems resolves nothing when they don’t have big money like Trump had…You saw them at the inauguration sitting behind him with their mega money to support him…consider the source…

Don't forget that they have been culling and re-shaping the party to include only maga or maga supporters. all the others either resigned, retired or were defeated. So it's not that the old regular republicans became these cowardly brainwashed maga morons, these are mostly different people.

Thank you, Ben, for calling this honestly. Yes, Trump and Vance are despicable, but the reality is, the elected and appointed REPrehensible Party officials, the constituents that vote for them, and the greedy broligarchs (add the corporate press in this group) that fund them are the real cause of the problem(s), and every bit as responsible as the two front men, for the global chaos being created.

My rant for the past year has been:

IF YOU VOTE REPUBLICAN AT ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT, YOU SUPPORT RACISM, BIGOTRY, GREED, DOMESTIC TERRORISM, AND THE OVERTHROW OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

Chris's avatar

I have wondered myself where the heck are they . Are they happy that they gave trump so much power. I'd love for someone to interview them but of course they wouldn't tell the truth.

Lois's avatar

I think at the moment they are happy since they are contemplating overturning the 90 year old Humphrey's Executor vs.US which requires the president to show cause before firing heads of independent agencies. So don't look to them for help. They were instrumental in creating the mess we're in now. Which stems from trump's first term

tRump is joining up with dictators Those basxxrds are turning OUR Country into their country.

Save us

.. COME ON HE NEEDS TO BE THROWN OUT OF THE WHOUSE. HE AND BUDDY ELON ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING OVER OUR COUNTRY, DAMNET tRUMP HE'S STEALING OUR COUNTRY. CAN'T ANYONE SEE IT. OMG PLEASE WE NEED MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT NOW. HE'S MOVING FAST AND ''HAS'' TO BE STOPPED. BEFORE ITS TOO LATE TO SAVE THE US. THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY WHERE DICTATERS ARE IN CHARGE. THIS IS AMERICA 🇺🇸 THE UNITED STATES A FREE COUNTRY. THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS. OBG STOP TALKING AND START ACTNG.

YOUR COUNRY IS CALLING YOU.

Lois's avatar

Of course you're right. But he was elected - not so much by people who voted for him, but by people who didn't vote at all, knowing that no vote was a vote for him. These people voted last time for Joe Biden. So interpret it however you want but this is who the people apparently wanted. And they voted red all the way up and down the ballot. As ugly as that is the Democrats clearly need a new game plan and I not only don't see that, I don't see much of a plan to fight the slaughter that is going on now. Hopefully they'll get their act together

Kathy Leonard's avatar

Yes absolutely true. He needs to be stopped. Before everyone he recruits is in the Whitehouse.

Then they will take over. Boot their asses out. While we still can. This is the beginning of WW3. IM SICK 😫 HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN. IT WAS A LONG THOUGHT PLAN.

Putin Stole Crimea From Ukraine !! Souly To Bring Russian Oil To Market !!?

How fitting our Cri.me Boss stupid president Conald interested in Crimea! Meanwhile we have slick talker Elonia mining our data, and clearing his own legal issues! Of course Musk Rat won't go near his compeditor s through the DOD!

why have Con and Elonia not say anything about the FAA DC plane crash? Does mentally ill.Eloniai think that's funny too? He is not capable of remourse! Due to his self medicating? .anybody know what he was tripping on during the inauguration?

He wants Texas Data Central! Bet he would like to start with our federal records so more than 10000 federal workers can be processed per day?? We have him pegged Guys!! Hitler did it in 56 days? Con and Elonia still on track for 100?? Is stupid Con reading this? Go fuck yourself stupid Conald!!

Dean Bohan's avatar

I think at this point, Trump is so confused on how to run this country he doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going.

Jean's avatar

I don't think he cares if it's helter-skelter. He does what makes him feel powerful -- whether right, wrong, planned, unthought-out, or stupid. He follows Musk because Musk has given him the big bucks. I believe Musk has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder -- that explains his erratic and manic overspending and his need to feel powerful (to the extreme).

August's avatar

I think he has Asperger syndrome. It's on the Autism spectrum, with generally higher functioning. They can be socially awkward and such.

Tina Eden's avatar

More like a toxic narcissist. Never apologizes, soulless, no class, etc, etc.

August's avatar

He could have other conditions that we are not aware of. He met Grimes ( a musician )one of his girlfriends on Twitter back in 2018. She has autism and the article said they bonded quickly because they had similar interests. Tech, AI, and other things that I forget. She had 3 of of his children. One by cesarean section, and the other two by a surrogate using IVF because he wanted his strong genes used. Grimes and him are fighting over custody and child support. There is more but I forgot somethings. Oh, it was said that he has been an absent father a lot. Also, Grimes was pissed over him parading his son in the WH and in the media the other day. Some people who are on the ASD can be geniuses as is the Musk's case.

NativeTx's avatar

Elon has publicly stated he takes ketamine it’s a drug that he uses daily in large doses. That is why you see that weird movements and when he comes out like at the rallies and inauguration. The other day in the Oval Office he was high as hell

Tina Eden's avatar

More an evil genious than anything else.

Lights Seiferlein's avatar

Autism (I have it) doesn't excuse his NAZI salute; And he could be socially awkward because he's a an A-whole.

NativeTx's avatar

No he’s a drug attack high as hell on ketamine

Carol Schneider's avatar

Current research shows that Asperger people lack Mirror neurons. Those neurons help a

Human really grok another human being and thus develop empathy. Elon has no empathy. Triump is also lacking in empathy because narcissistic

People have none. So both our leaders feel free to do only what they want to do and all others are dammed to suffer the consequences of not being cared about, even those who voted for Trump.

Lois's avatar

I don't think so. I think he - or his puppet masters - know exactly what they're doing and they've been planning this, with or without his knowledge for at least the last 4 years. We underestimate these people at our peril. They are truly single minded about accruing all the power for themselves and they are actually doing it. What to do about that reality is the problem we face.

Patrice La Belle, M.D.'s avatar

The planning for this coup has been going on for decades, including gradually taking over farm states that uses to vote for Democrats. It has included decades of creating disinformation and culture war issues by pro-authoritatian think tanks, gerrymandering, corrupting religion, and manipulating state legislatures and Congressmen, until they found someone who was a consummate liar and emotional manipulator with a fascist style to work with as President. While they were focused on manipulating the masses into cult-like obedience, Democrats and regular Conservative Republicans were debating issues, but the masses only heard the disinformation from their cult-like leaders.

olderwoman's avatar

"including gradually taking over farm states"

Yeah, like Wisconsin, Wisconsin was always a solid blue state.

But because of Gerrymandering it now votes in the State Senate and House Republican.

They have Ron Johnson (ugg) and Tammy Baldwin (yeah!) as US Senators, it is a shame. The State that gave us Wiliam Proxmire for decades ow votes for Ron Johnson, why?

Dean Bohan's avatar

This has been in their planning for decades.

P A Williams's avatar

Totally agree with this. I said it in the first reign of the wannabe and this is just the culmination of the years of desperation of wanting to be a part of world domination by this narcissistic pathetic soulless less than human tyrant,who has now crossed into treasonous and complete disgusting behavior.

Steve Doll's avatar

The one thing he's NOT confused about is getting his way, hang the consequences, and no matter whom he hurts in the process. This is his whole being, his raison d'etre. He has surrounded himself with people as unscrupulous as he is, and this will be his downfall. The scary thing is, what will he take down with him.

Tina Eden's avatar

True it is scary, but all of the ones that think they are in power are so corrupt that they will, sooner or later, turn on eachother until there is no one left. May that time come soon!

Do not for one second give trump the benefit of the doubt. He knows exactly what he's doing! Its been in the works for years.

trump has literally changed (AND announced) his "policy" for "bringing peace to Ukraine" at least twice a day....... and the "ideas" mostly have no relationship to one another. Wow. Such stability. Such analysis and planning. SOOO "presidential". (A patchwork is what you get when YOU are NO LEADER WHATSOEVER and you have putin whispering into one ear, musk into the other, continual memos from hegseth (sent in between chugs), the "other" president's kid tugging on your tie, and so on. Didn't he just say he wanted all of Ukraine's "mineral earth" in exchange for, I dunno... all of the Panama Canal?

IF we ever recover from this, it will take 100 yrs to recover our reputation and by then the world will be dominated by either china or russia anyway.

This is what we get when we vote for people with severe psychological disorders and/or severe lack of integrity.

Well I don't know about that. The last polling out of Russian, and it has been a long time now, showed the Russian people supported Putin and his war.

Patrice La Belle, M.D.'s avatar

Support or get locked up (or fall out of a window). That is the Russian way. Trump is already going after the media, stealing the constitutional powers of Congress, ruling by fear, lies, and scapegoating. We are almost emulating Russia, Hungary, 1930s Germany, take your pick.

Kathleen's avatar

I agree wholeheartedly with you Dean. You are spot on. We all knew it. I’ve been holding my breath hoping against all odds that he would do the right, moral and humane thing to help Ukraine end this war in support of their country.

Ukraine did not start this war. They were violently invaded. I pray and hope that the members of NATO and the EU step up even more to help Ukraine. This is unconscionable what our government is doing, working with a foreign adversary against our ally. Unforgivable. I will always stand with Ukraine for true peace, freedom and independence. Many blessings to all.

Robin's avatar

Putin made his cronies into oligarchs .. and dispersed them throughout the world..those that brought him to power received political nepotism and trump is using that bastards playbook. I’m still befuddled on how the Republican controlled house and senate can still think they are protecting “The GRAND OlD PARTY”in any of this macabre bullshit

They should go on without the US. We have been compromised by Putin. trump, Gabbard, Musk, Hegseth. All Putin assets. I hope that they take Ukraine into NATO!

Sam's avatar

That was Biden’s plan. And he flushed Ukraine with weapons and aide and he got NATO countries to increase spending to 2% just for this purpose. A feat that Trump failed to accomplish. That is why he demanded 5%. Jealousy.

CanadaIsNotForSale's avatar

The DumDum will dismantle, kneecap, blow up anything Biden did because in time there will be positive results. DumDum cannot have someone out do him. His vengeance for Obama was the same. He is destroyer of humanity. I doubt he will ever leave the US to visit anyone he is getting more and more paranoid about his mortality exposed to the outside world. His security blanket is the golf course.

virginia arthur's avatar

Would you please explain what you think was President Biden’s plan?

Sam's avatar

If you do not know then you were not paying attention. Not my problem. Hint: part of it is in my comment. He knew what Trump was going to do. Trump does speak the truth but people would rather believe the lies because it is not for the faint of heart nor will it benefit 95% of Americans. But as long as the GOP wins the Presidency that is all that matters. The cost will be the inevitable fall of America. Unless Dems get back the house and undo the damage. He really does not care about the little people.

virginia arthur's avatar

I knew that Biden supported Ukraine. So you are saying that trump has betrayed Ukraine out of vengeance against Biden? If that is true, trump is even more deranged than I thought.

jean glassford's avatar

But, açcording to his comments, Trump seems to think he is in charge of NATO too. He is deciding the Military percentage, whether Ukraine should be a NATO member! I find it so frustrating to hear crickets from the rest of the World. The Brothers Grimm have razed the US, and its only bèen a month. I dread what's ahead.

🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦We’ll be flying our flag!

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

CBC reports…. Feb.11/25

All of the country's living former prime ministers are asking Canadians to fly the red maple leaf this weekend in a huge display of national pride as the country stares down U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to its economy and sovereignty.

Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper have jointly written an open letter, telling Canadians to "show the flag as never before" as the country contends with "threats and insults from Donald Trump."

"Let's fly our flag with pride. Let's show the world that we are proud of our history and proud of our country," the former first ministers write.

"We've had our share of battles in the past. But we all agree on one thing: Canada, the true north, strong and free, the best country in the world, is worth celebrating and fighting for."

Saturday is Flag Day, which is held annually to mark the first time the red and white maple leaf flag was raised on Parliament Hill on Feb. 15, 1965, replacing the Canadian Red Ensign.

The five former prime ministers write they have "witnessed a surge of Canadian pride and patriotism" in the wake of Trump's threats and they are heartened to see so many people "come together to express their love for our country and their determination to defend Canada's values and our independence

Not caring —- That’s how easily he can do this stuff to US citizens and to people world-wide. He is a psychopath. Trump and especially Musk are doing this for one reason: money.

I am embarrassed by this. Hegseth in Europe embarrassed us in front of NATO. Tulsi Gabbard being confirmed embarrassed us on the world stage. And Trump’s call to Putin embarrassed us. All 3 of them weakened the U.S. And for all of us that had parents that fought an authoritarian fascist in WWII, we have our own version of that leading the U.S. and selling out our world leadership and support for democracy.

It was enjoyable, though, seeing Hegseth heckled in Germany by U.S. military families.

My parents lived through WW 2 in Europe. I was born after the war but heard the history, heard the stories, read the books. The similarities with Rump and Hitler are shocking. I've said this for years, now more and more people are starting to wake up.

You’re right…I have always suspected him during his first administration..his racist bigotry and always putting down people of their intelligence because he has none…It was totally obvious he has now the evil power he wanted..We must protest!!!

Donna Sutherland's avatar

Yeah! I agree!

But Frumpy Projected during the Campaign that Biden would cause a Civil War. But, Frumpy was Projecting what would happen if he's Elected!

It sire seems we're heading for just that!

Because Frumpy won't just Give Up Now, Defiantly !!!

If he does, it's a dark, tainted one here by an extreme f**kup on the part of the cosmos. He needs to be sent back to the depths he oozed from.

The cosmos didn't F Up, Republikkkans did that.

No surprise on reading this. I expected him to sell them out on his first day in office. That’s all I am saying. What I want to say, I can’t say without getting in trouble. But I will say this, Trump is a douche bag!!

David A Pitock's avatar

And Tulsi Gabbard to sell us out

I thought of her as a spy the minute I heard she was nominated for cabinet position. And I still do.

olderwoman's avatar

And who confirmed her for DNI?

100% of the Republican Senate!

Trump can't do this on his own, he runs the Republicans like a Mafia Boss, they are all terrified of him and they just do whatever he tells them to.

This will end very, very badly!! We need to stop viewing these events from an international law or even American law POV and recognize it for what it is. Organized crime! And there’s no coming back from generalized Organized crime by lawful means.

Actually it is a coup. Right before our eyes, in the name of eliminating fraud, waste and abuse. The leaders of fraud and abuse are He and Musk. They are enabled with blind impotence as evidenced by the (non)actions of the Republican Senate/House/Supreme Court. Trump/Elon are taking over, or threatening and bullying, our govt illegally EVERY DAY.

Donna Cunningham's avatar

But it's not being done by lawful means at all. Everything they are doing is illegal. and constitutionally Treason.

Albin Trein's avatar

That IS the intent! They’re daring the courts. And they’re winning. It IS a Coup.

Laurie Alexander's avatar

Trump can’t just give Ukraine to Putin. Nor does he have any say in NATO. The European Union has been in the fight with Ukraine. Yet again stepping out side of his authority. He needs to be arrested for Treason for even suggesting this.

Donna Cunningham's avatar

He needs to be Arrested for Treason on everything he did starting in his first term and on.

Elizabeth's avatar

There’s no one in the US to arrest him.

Laurie Alexander's avatar

Well there’s no one willing to arrest him for sure

Donna Cunningham's avatar

There actually is. In DC. Marshal department can arrest anyone. and also this is going on

Can they get Elon, Shady and MAGA Mike all at once. The house needs to be cleaned of all the trash

Peggy Davison's avatar

Impeach?? I think it goes beyond that!

Linda Fulcher's avatar

He is a brazen, blatant, strutting traitor and open Nazi and should be charged with treason.

TM2U's avatar

Start with impeachment. Otherwise, we’ll never get rid of his stinky azz.

Joni D Ernst's avatar

Will the US become a Russian satellite country?

william Axtell's avatar

It's starting, just look at his nominees and his BS and Lies!

Steve's avatar

We're definitely their partner in crime.

We knew Trump, Putin were colluding a so vary long ago.

Yep.

Nick Alvarado's avatar

trump is the biggest piece of shit since hitler!!!

Yves Riguet's avatar

I'm guessing Donald Trump already sold his soul..

Kathryn M. Barger's avatar

Nope. Not according to his niece.

She has some really good insights on Donnie's character and early life, business failures and a lack of decency.

Linda Wilson-Gordon's avatar

Many years ago, if he ever had one at all.

Patricia Millwater's avatar

Why does trump have a say in the invasion of Ukraine by Russia?

Elizabeth's avatar

He does by no longer sending assistance and by parroting Russian propaganda in the US so his stupid followers believe it was the right thing to do.

Kathryn M. Barger's avatar

He presents himself as King of the World.

I hate 45. I hate him. I hate him.

Me too I never thought I could ever hate a person as much as I hate this SOB

Danita, that makes it at least 3 of us hating that evil bastard X 100.

Tina Eden's avatar

Make that 4 people at least. He is despicable!

Karen Loewenstern's avatar

...and who is left to convict this government of treason - no one! That was Trump's plan all along - don't have anyone left in power who will stand up to his treason - and the GOP congress that could have stopped him many times along the way just supported him. Those members too should be held on grounds of treason - but who is there to hold them all accountable. No one has any power.

Peggy Davison's avatar

The power is the American people!!!

Michele Honderich's avatar

this is true! Democrats are too weak to stop this. They didn't stop it. Will the old Dems stop it now? idk

The people of the United states didn't do anything either. No even voting.

Ultimately, our heavily-armed citizenry has a great deal of power. The limiting factor is the willingness to use it to deal with traitors.
