MeidasMighty,
What we just witnessed was nothing short of a total betrayal of America’s national security and our allies. Donald Trump stood on the world stage and gave Putin everything he wanted—abandoning Ukraine, tearing apart NATO, and making it clear that his administration is nothing more than a puppet regime for the Kremlin.
I wish I were exaggerating, but I’m not.
Trump literally questioned whether Ukraine should even be an equal negotiating partner in its own war—a war that Russia unlawfully started. He didn’t blame Putin’s brutal invasion. No, he blamed Ukraine for “going into a war.” Let’s be clear—Ukraine didn’t choose this war. Putin launched an unprovoked invasion. And Trump is out here acting like Ukraine should just roll over and surrender.
It gets worse. Trump echoed his own Defense Secretary, former Fox News morning show host Pete Hegseth, by saying that Ukraine should not return to its pre-2014 borders—essentially endorsing Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and the Donbas region.
That’s not how international law works. But in Trump’s world, where he’s already openly threatened to annex Canada and invade Greenland, I guess he thinks stealing land is fair game.
When reporters pushed him, asking whether refusing Ukraine NATO membership and forcing them to give up territory was handing Russia everything, Trump shrugged it off. His response? “I just want peace.”
No, you want Putin to win.
Then came the real bombshell. When asked whether he’d support forcing Zelensky to cede territory to end the war, Trump falsely claimed that Zelensky has low poll numbers (straight from Russian propaganda) and then hinted at his real plan—forcing elections in Ukraine.
Why?
Because Trump and Putin want to install a Kremlin-backed puppet in Kyiv. This is literally Putin’s demand for a peace deal: get rid of Zelensky and replace him with a Russian stooge. And Trump is now parroting it word for word.
This is outright collaboration with a hostile foreign power.
And just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, Trump started bragging about his “lengthy and productive” call with Putin earlier in the day. He even suggested that Putin “wants peace” now that Biden is gone.
Gee, I wonder why?
Because Trump is giving him everything he wants—no NATO for Ukraine, no aid, no resistance. Just complete capitulation.
Then, Trump casually dropped this disgraceful revelation: he expects to meet with Putin soon—not just here in the U.S., but in Russia or Saudi Arabia.
Yes, you read that right. Trump is gearing up for a full-blown Moscow surrender tour.
While all of this was happening, Republicans in Congress confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence—a huge win for Russia.
Now, let’s be clear about what this means:
No allied intelligence agency will ever trust the U.S. again.
And guess what? This was all coordinated—Trump’s call with Putin, Hegseth’s statement about Ukraine, and Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation.
Putin isn’t just winning. Trump is handing him the victory on a silver platter.
This isn’t normal. This isn’t policy disagreement. This is treason in real time.
And while all of this is happening, Trump is bragging about appointing himself chairman of…the Kennedy Center?
Seriously.
While the world watches America crumble under his spineless, treasonous leadership, he’s out here crowning himself king of an arts foundation.
To everyone who enabled this disaster—to the spineless Republicans who rubber-stamped every one of Trump’s authoritarian moves—history will remember your names.
And to everyone who voted for this man—you bear responsibility for this betrayal.
But for the rest of us, the pro-democracy majority, this is not the time to give up. This is the time to fight like hell.
We still have power. We still have a voice. We will not let this stand.

We knew this was coming. If I were Zelenskyy I’d just ignore Trump and continue with NATO’s help.
All of the free world will now embrace Ukraine 🇺🇦 . Trump now becomes an an accomplice of Putin . Develops Crimea for a next resort.
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
Republicans is now the party of Putin.
Officially now, that is. Been that way since 2016 and Dumpster's private meeting with Putin.
100%
Fin someplace else for this. Reported for spam.
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.
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!
Only just now? Good morning, Leah!
Sad and sick. Blame the assholes behind the apprentice for filling Trumps head full of visions of grandeur
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.
So sorry, but you are not alone 😢 we are all losing something!
You are not alone. My niece and her husband. Very same response as you were given.
No, filling AMERICA'S heads with the bubble gum fantasy of trumpf as anything other than a gaseous diaper-clad baby-man.
They made this possible!
You allowed one person to have to have much power and money can buy anything in the USA.
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!
Truth.
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.
There are a FEW Democrats who are standing up to them.Crockett, Buttigeig, the state of Illinois,and a few others
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.
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…
Musk bought the election for 280 million $ so he can destroy the US with his BS, lies, and propaganda.
Thank you, Cindy.
We need more polititians to stand up to Frump. Now!
I love how you say the state of Illinois. Well more power to them. Kudos for the leadership.
Murphy, whitehouse, plus others
I have to stand up for Dem Congressman Garcia from CA
He's the one that displayed a picture of the Dick!
https://robertgarcia.house.gov/media
Don’t you mean the Repnlicsn cult?
You know the one that used to be a party
They all drank the KoolAid, bunch of idiots to vote for Frump.
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.
Make that re-thug-lican
Or as I prefer to spell it: ReTHUGliKKKan.
tRump is trying to get all of us killed and turn us into a dictatorship!! Dear God please take him to his judgement day! tRump is friggin crazy and stupider every day!!
Lord, hear our prayers.
I'm not joking, LJ.
Yep their fearful! They need to stand up!! Worried about threatened primarys from Elonia? Same for more Fed Judges!! Elonia is now contempt of court. That's jailable!! Do we need to help escort federal Marshals to pick up Musk Rat by his tail?? DOD backs down. Its started!!
DOGE…with an American economist at the helm could have been glorious.. think about every bill presented for the last 15 years scrutinized sniffing out the log rolling and riders attached to them… FROM BOTH SIDES of the aisle..that’s where an efficiency agency should have started.
That's why your personal data and ID were stolen. BS and propaganda from SS Elon.
I will never bow to Putin. He is evil/
Hey Mary… peddle your shit elsewhere
Reported!
SCAM
Mary the walking advert.
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.
NEVER FORGET Google just renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
AND they deleted from their calendar
Holocaust Remembrance Day, Gay Pride and a bunch more. Just wiped them off their calendar.
FUCK GOOGLE TOO!
I NEVER USE THE FULL OUT F WORD, I usually say Eff, but I am SO ANGRY!
Feb 28. Economic Blackout.
Guess Musk maybe bought them too?
Switch search engine to Yahoo.
Don't forget Scotus Republicans, The Traitors of the Constitution. They created a bogus law and created they're KIng. And we all suffer for it. Where are they haven't heard a squeak out of them.
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.
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
For sure, SCOTUS, the outcome of the bigoted Leonard Leo Federalist Society PACs..........
Alpabet, Inc. (Google), also has some dubious campaign spending reported on https://www.americandemocracyscorecard.org/alphabet/
Exactly! It's not the first time! This is treason! Why wouldn't it be?
Treason or Espionage?
I wouldn't rule out wither now or later! Hitler did it in 56 days? And Donald still on track for 100? With his 2025 plan he know nothing about? Has anyone asked him who is Russel Voght? I can't handle pathological liars! If they say go right I think a hard left!!
AGAIN
I think and hope you are correct that the rest of the world will gather around Ukraine. sHitler has been in bed with Putin for many years. He is certainly not going to break up with him now
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.
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
😡 yup
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.
PPL IM NOT CRAZY ITS HAPPENING.
No, you're not crazy. I see it, too.
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!!
Yep to line his pockets! Contractor bidding starts with donations to his LIE brary. Will Rudy help with Putin's pardon? 1 billion to him 1 billion to Donald? Or will they just look for another drug trafficer?
Yes, I agree, Trump should be charged with Treason!
And should be punished accordingly.
Do they still hang traitors for treason
Oh ok
Trump pardons them.
He likes Gitmo.Let him spend the rest of his miserable life there.
Hang'em High !!? Town Square !!? Let The Crow's Have Him !!?
And impeached for the third time! He needs to be convicted so that means we need to wait for a Democratic majority in the Senate.
PLEASE,PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATS THAT ARE RUNNING IN THE SPECIAL ELECTIONS.
PLEASE!!!!🇺🇲💙☮️🌎
Yes I am. But don't get your hopes up. 2 of them are in Florida. Democrats did worse than they ever have this past election. couldn't even win the ballot questions.
We only need three seats, 4 would be better.
Skip the impeachment and bring in the noose.
IF we have midterm elections…
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.
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).
I think he has Asperger syndrome. It's on the Autism spectrum, with generally higher functioning. They can be socially awkward and such.
More like a toxic narcissist. Never apologizes, soulless, no class, etc, etc.
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.
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
More an evil genious than anything else.
Autism (I have it) doesn't excuse his NAZI salute; And he could be socially awkward because he's a an A-whole.
No he’s a drug attack high as hell on ketamine
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.
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.
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.
"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?
lowa as well.
This has been in their planning for decades.
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.
The Heritage Foundation has been planning this since Reagan. Having Vought confirmed for budget and management terrifies me. He’s one of the core authors of their manifesto.
Could he ruin our country? Well, he managed to bankrupt a CASINO!!! How do you do that?
Creed for Money to spend
Who will fire the first shot for the second civil war???
The house always wins except when trump owns the house! He’s a f’n 🤡
Confused? Come on, he is guilty af! Our naivete in this country does great harm, as much as the cult behavior. “A republic, if you can keep it.”
--Benjamin Franklin's response to Elizabeth Willing Powel's question: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
I can’t really say what I’d really like to because we both know we’re being monitored but what I can say is I sure hope there’s a lot of Luigi’s out there ready to sacrifice everything for the good of humankind.
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.
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!
He lives at Muskie's Playhouse and takes orders from the president
He's not running this Country. Elon is. Trump is still golfing
Maybe so or maybe not, but that isn't truly relevant. The reality is that he just blew up NATO and Europe with it.
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.
He looks like home made shit. His make up is running and his taupee is sliding off, or is it loosing hair? So disgusting.
I feel he's dumb like a fox.
That’s because he’s not really running anything. Muskrat has him by the short& curlies and he knows it.
To the circus.. or ballet.. that is where he’s going
Muskie's Playhouse
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?
Ukraine loves President Zelensky. If they didn’t they’d have had him long gone. F**k trump! So many people will die because of him!
Our intel …operatives abroad, many will be killed and be handed over by Patel. Scares me to think of the repercussions within this community .. and yes.. as with our Syrian allies after we pulled out.. they were slaughtered. I fear for Ukraine but I also fear for the Russian people who NEVER wanted this shit
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. (Or the planet will have melted to death into a massive pile of nothing but used plastics..) WHAT A DAMNED WASTE. This is what we get when we vote for people with severe psychological disorders and/or severe lack of integrity.
The Europian Union and other Countries are still supporting Ukraine
The EU has been planning for the Trumps nazi-light dictatorship
Blue states should be planning to leave the union and let the red states destroy themselves
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.
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.
and die all . over . the . world, too..... china ALREADY making plans to move in where we only recently were and now are no longer.... I hope the world's "stable genius" .. the one with so . much . "common sense"... who brags about bringing us into the (ugh) "golden age" (gag me) .. is happy. (What AM I thinking?? He's happy every single day he escapes prison, and can peddle 10 more bitcoins and a dozen bibles..) .. :(
But he can’t touch his Bibles because they would burn his hand
Angels cough up blood when Donable Lector touches the bible
You're absolutely right, Zelensky's polls are strong, he can't lie them away, but I'm sure he thinks we're as stupid as his cult minions, and will believe him. He is and always has been Putin's minion.
The 'election' Dl speaks of is what Putin wants as there will be a Putin puppet running to defeat Zelensky.. Thats their game plan.
Agreed.
That’s completely crazy! Better that Trump shows his true colors so the whole world knows that he is traitor and that he can be bought for money!
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.
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
Trump doesn't have the where with all or the finances to Create a pile of Poop like his warped brain. He's already destroyed everthing Biden did to bring America down.
Blows my mind CNN is focused on the name change of the Gulf of Mexico, how mundane above all else . 👎
WILL NATO help???! They haven't so far because of refusing to allow Ukraine to join NATO.
More importantly Biden knew this was coming and was busy actually doing his job. Dementia my ahole. I Swear I think he was playing everyone..smoke and mirrors. Don’t pay attention to the crazy old guy while making people laugh while pulling some slick shit.
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!
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.
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.
Would you please explain what you think was President Biden’s plan?
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.
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.
Where are you getting that from what I said? Do you normally talk out of your behind?
No, I do not and do you normally talk to people that you do not know in such a rude manner?
Lol I talk to people as I please and I sugarcoat nothing. If you don’t like it don’t respond and move on with your life.
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.
I hope he does. He is a good man, unlike what we are stuck with.
Like I’ve said before…it’s us or them.
🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦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
❤️
I like Canada.
OMG he’s got immunity!!!
Not for treason!
I hope that Europe and the Baltic states get busy. If there is to be capitulation it must be Russia that is the one to withdraw from sovereign Ukrainian territories.🇺🇦☮️💜💛❤️🇨🇦
please
Trump is Hitler
Only a dumber version. Putin wants the world and he will go through tRump to get it
Putin wants Trump to be humiliated. I suspect that he cannot believe how easy it is to get Trump to do and say whatever he wants. And like Trump when someone surrenders to him, Putin will increase the humiliation on Trump to 11.
Putin could care less about Trump. Putin wants to control and humiliate America as a whole. It was never about this one person. Trump was and is a means to an end.
Our country is so vulnerable right now. They’ve pissed off our closest allies and weakened our national security by appointing unqualified compromised people, firing FBI and CIA agents, and threatening to steal foreign lands. Who will save us when Putin decides he wants America?
Can’t his children see what his happening? This is elder abuse. Grandpa needs to be permanently retired.
If you are speaking of Trump's children they are just as bad as their father. They are absolutely foaming at the mouth waiting to when they can take over .We will no longer be able to elect presidents they will be the Royal Family
We are so screwed
No we are not. Look at all the People in the streets fighting. When was the last time we all saw this happening. It lightens my heart to see it. I believe it can be lardger than we have now. slam the Republicans in the House & SEnate also do the same in your States. If you don"t get a reply call back. Our Constitution says it is our duty to Protest Tyranny like this.
💯🎯💙✌🏻
If you believe in reincarnation, Hitler died in 1945. Trump arrived in 1946. Food for thought
Ouch
I ALWAYS call him sHitler
Dumbest thing on this page
Musk is the Antichrist
He is!
He really really is!
Total sell out . Total traitor. My heart goes out to Ukraine. He will have blood on his hands if anything happens to Zelensky
I'm horrified & saddened such noble freedom fighters are disrespected by the lowest, most ignorant traitor! Why oh why did anyone vote for DonOld creepy Trump!
Heart broken
They believed his lies and ignored facts.
He likes having blood on his hands he is a cruel nasty person
Yes he is! I saw his brother, Fred, interviewed during the Election!
His son was in poor health & institutionalized!
Frumpy told him to just let him Die😨! Fred needed money for his son's care & that's how he responded😢! Frumpy has No Soul
Exactly Trump Is Fucking Evil Excuse My Language But I’m Mad As Hell. This Devil Has And Will Have So Much Blood On His Hands. FU Traitor 🖕
Except he doesn't care.
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. They have both increased their wealth by millions. They are both ignoring the law —- even the recent judges who have ordered Trump to unblock payments already promised.
But it should all be recorded so his legacy is as tarnished as he is.
Trump could have him killed and be immune to prosecution thanks to SCOTUS.

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.
Oh! I missed that! Is it on YouTube?
I don't know about YouTube, but several outlets reported on it. Here is one:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/hegseth-protest-dei-transgender-germany-military-rcna191636
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!!!
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 !!!
Mother fucker has no soul
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.
Either one
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!!
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.
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.
Well said.
But it's not being done by lawful means at all. Everything they are doing is illegal. and constitutionally Treason.
That IS the intent! They’re daring the courts. And they’re winning. It IS a Coup.
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.
Yes please impeach Trump
Exactly
He needs to be Arrested for Treason on everything he did starting in his first term and on.
There’s no one in the US to arrest him.
Well there’s no one willing to arrest him for sure
There actually is. In DC. Marshal department can arrest anyone. and also this is going on
https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/pentagon-officials-discussing-trump/index.html
Can they get Elon, Shady and MAGA Mike all at once. The house needs to be cleaned of all the trash
IMPEACH Dt
Impeach?? I think it goes beyond that!
He is a brazen, blatant, strutting traitor and open Nazi and should be charged with treason.
Start with impeachment. Otherwise, we’ll never get rid of his stinky azz.
Unalive him
Will the US become a Russian satellite country?
It's starting, just look at his nominees and his BS and Lies!
We're definitely their partner in crime.
It's already started. :-(
We knew Trump, Putin were colluding a so vary long ago.
Yep.
trump is the biggest piece of shit since hitler!!!
He's a coward.
I'm guessing Donald Trump already sold his soul..
Never had one
Long ago!
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.
Many years ago, if he ever had one at all.
Why does trump have a say in the invasion of Ukraine by Russia?
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.
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.
I never thought I could hate anything as much as I hate that jerk.
Make that 4 people at least. He is despicable!
...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.
The power is the American people!!!
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.
Sickening absolutely sickening. Trumps abuse of power goes unchecked by spineless GOP politicians. He has no idea what he’s doing or even being in the white house we all should be worried and those that voted for should be fucking ashamed of themselves !!
This enrages me because of the efforts to bring support to an ally and now Putin puts in muskovite musk to close the event because Trump is so incompetent and demented
He needs to be tried for treason
They have just pissed on the graves of all the heroes of the greatest generation. The ones we entrusted to make the world safe from aggression.
Sold us out for his own selfish interests.
What a dangerous fool. Our country really is a disgrace to the world. Trump is a mob boss. The press is pitiful in its questioning of this crook.
He has sold the world out time to kick his ass
TRUMP IS COMPLETELY DEMENTED
FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! Sorry that’s all I can say about this fascist asshole. #fucktrump
I am hyperventilating … can our country really beat this constitutional crisis? Can we survive Trump and Musk?
My house remained thankfully intact amidst the Pacific Palisades raging inferno. Can I dare to hope the same for our country?? 😓. Feeling pretty defeated at the moment.
Pete Hegseth is a drunken IDIOT!!!!
Putin owns Trump so I'm not surprised. He's a dick.
Elon owns Trump also. The Heritage Foundation provides the guidance. Trump wouldn’t have ANY direction otherwise.
The US doesn’t control NATO, nor does it have the right to negotiate in place of Ukraine. This may be the rock that starts the slide of NATO to an EU centric organization. 47 may want a Bro date with Putin and I hope it will be worth it to him. I have already accepted that there are difficult years ahead, perhaps even the possibility the US could become separate countries.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Everything you say is TRUTH. I HOPE this wakes up our Congress or we will have no Constitutional check. That does seal the deal.
A total disgrace, and I agree that it's possibly the worst moment in American history.
Hang him!
Agreed 💯. He needs to go the way of moosalini.
I'll bet every other news outlet and MAGA is already writing their fan fiction, I’m sorry, article about how this is America First.
Yes, I'm also waiting for the MSM spin on FOTUS being an amazing negotiator. Even if one or two publish something critical, it's way too late considering we all knew this would happen.
Mango Mussolini is too worked up over his new Gaza Hotel and gold club. He could care less about Democracy.
It is highly likely that Putin has agreed to Trump Towers and/or a golf club and castle in Ukraine also. A country that belong to neither.
L’Arancia.
I am Ukrainian and it hurts me now. I read the news and I wanted to cry and smash my phone against the wall. I am afraid of what will happen to my homeland...😭
Yes i also am Ukrainian and I feel sick to the very core of my being. I wailed with shock and horror when I found out he'd been elected!
I knew he would betray Ukraine the day he won the election. I cried that day. Now I fear that Trump will not only pressure Ukraine to make an unfavorable temporary peace, but will also help Russia in the war. He loves Putin so much. There are no depths to which he will not sink.
He is owned by Putin and/or there is leverage of another kind to keep him under control, to do whatever Putin wants.
We did as well. Please stay strong.
Olena, my heart goes out to you and your beautiful country. I am soul sick.
💔
He disgusts me.
Shame on Trump. His actions are disgusting
Shame America, Shame! Hang your heads in shame. As an Australian, I will be voting against any politician in my country that does not denounce the United States for this colossal betrayal of democracy.
Yes. Stop Neo Fascism. MAGA is to ignorant to comprehend what they've done. 😢
We all knew Trump was going give Putin everything, but this is just despicable, I just hope NATO can do something about this. USA should be completely shunned by the rest of the world now!!! Trump is not only demented but just evil!!
We have known that Trump was in Putin's back pocket since before he was elected the first time. It was a giant freaking clue when he said, "Russia, if you're listening..." It was a bigger clue when the party of Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon, Bushes I & II, and "Tear Down this Wall" Reagan watered down its platform plank supporting Ukraine before the invasion. It was a GIANT RED FLAG when Obama wanted McConnell to take seriously the idea that Trump was a Russian asset and Moscow Mitch put his fingers in his ears and covered his eyes. All of that was BEFORE November 2016. The final nail in the coffin was the whipped dog expression on Trump's face and his "please don't say anything" body language when he met Putin publicly for the first time in Helsinki.
So, yeah, ANY foreign policy kaka that issues forth from the orange piehole is straight from the Kremlin.
Congratulations, MAGA. You did what generations of Republicans fought against and generations Soviet dictators were unable to achieve: Complete American capitulation without a shot being fired.
Too many lives lots around the world defending democracy. Now this.
And now i know how Hitler bacame what he was. Supported by greedy power hungry millioaires and billionaires that spread propaganda and outrights lies turning uneducated and non thinking sheep happily going to slaughter. All while singing praises to their glorious leader. Who will put a stop to this insanity. What is going to take for people to come out of their stupor?
HEGSETH, YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT IN MY OPINION! TRUMP IS A HEARTLES FRIGGING LOW LIFE IDIOT WHO SHOULD GO TO HELL!! WTF IS WRONG WITH AMERICA? WE ALWAYS STAND UP FOR THE UNDERDOG, NOT THE SUPERPOWERS. I HAVE NEVER HATED ANY PARTY, OR ANYONE AS NUCH AS THESE CRIMINALS!
Is anyone really surprised? He takes his orders from Putin. I hope the other countries who have been supporting Ukraine keep it up. Slava Ukraine
I said thIs 6 months ago. I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU THAT TRUMP WOULD GIVE UKRAINE TO PUTIN!
Trump is a coward snd a clown!!!
Please don’t tell me he’s going to hold these mind numbing news conferences everyday like he did during Covid! Republicans in Congress wake up! Trump is a stool for Putin.
I'm afraid telling republicans to wake up is like hitting your head against a brick wall. There is no excuse for their immorality. They shouldn't have to think about their choice of honoring their oath to the constitution or trump. They are afraid of trump but really need to get over it and stand up against him!! If just one dared to stand up, maybe others would follow?
And so are the Republicans in Congress. They are all in the tank for Putin.
I would bet Zelensky's poll #'s are better than Trumps right now. Man this lunatic really needs to be removed from office.
I feel so sorry 😞 😔 for the people in Ukraine 🇺🇦 😢 This orange evil beast with the DUI "defense secretary " and all the republican party are to blame for this atrocity. Absolutely abhorrent and an abomination. So disgusted with these demonic people. 🤬😤
English Kings of yore had sound reasons to lock up traitors & anyone suspected of treason in the Tower of London & have them decapitated . Just saying …
I don't know how strong Putin really is. But he won't have the expense of spies since he now has Tulsi Gabbard, and most of the appointees are traitors, ditto his Tesla Toy Boy, his viperous VP, and the Republican Congressional Eunuchs.
Devastating the destruction the felon continues to spread.
OMG when will those who voted for this fool wake up to the danger he is spreading.
From Australia I feel the pain of this fool and what he and his minions are doing to your country.
He is so vile, a lying grifting con man
Didn't we used to shoot traitors?
Or hang them. Those were the days!
No surprise, Putin has 45/47 by the 'balls and 45/47/might owe Putin a lot of money. Putin has serious dirt on 45/47. Putin will always win. I pray the 'Free' world will have the backs of the people of Ukraine.
Release the pee pee tape
I have 1 idea. Forget protocol. Arrest the Trump robots and their master. Sweep in and fly them to Putins Russia NOW.
I hope when trump visits Russia he stays there. Or maybe he should visit Iran. I’m sure he’d get quite the welcome there.
He isn't welcome to many places. He better watch his travel plans. Stirred up alot of hate with that mouth of his. Not as safe or well liked as he thinks he is
He isn't welcome in America!! As time goes on its going to get more dangerous for him and his stooges. I can only hope! Forgive me God!
I'm not sure God is all too happy with him either.
Our allies despise us. The world distrusts us. And we deserve it.
He is a disgusting spineless pig!!!!
Alot of us knew all this was coming. I thought there was some decency left in these fools. Buckle up. This is what we have been screaming about. No one listened. Dbag still using Biden as a scapegoat. What a predictable fool
I
AM
ANGRY!
SELLING OUT TO PUTIN, NO!
I SUPPORT UKRAINE!
And UKARAINE KEEP YOUR RARE EARTH, DO NOT SELL IT TO TRUMP!
I have begun today to work with city government in our little city in Texas. I am looking for the programs within the city to create community between all races, creeds, sexual orientations, and first and foremost, support for our educational system. We need to be prepared to offer assistance through any group, institution, store, company, and communicate face to face. Our children need us. Parents with children need us. Our seniors need us. It is time to discard that which has divided us in our own communities to survive and learn to thrive as we become united in this cause.
What a depressing situation. By abandoning Ukraine, Trump has effectively abandoned the Baltic States, Poland and others to Putin. Will the US soldiers currently posted in Eastern Europe be asked to leave (leaving their equipment behind) because their command in chief has swapped sides?
America's involvement in Nato is now dead.
No European intelligence agency will pass information onto the US because the US is likely to pass it on to its new overlord!
Wow. That was the best episode BY FAR on this network I have seen since I have been a subscriber! Love the passion. We're #1! Keep telling the world the truth and let's get these MAGGOTS out of here!!
Coward and traitor. No honor, no code of ethics. He is a thing without purpose.
Oh, he does have a purpose - all power for him.
We are not powerful as a country anymore.he has made us a joke. We the people need to reach out and make sure the rest of the world knows we all did not want this. God help us. If even HE can.
Ben, please take care of yourself. This is all very frightening and horrifying. And I'm just as enraged as you. I hope you are able to rest and relax.
Whoever voted for this monster needs to be deported.
May God help us, Ukraine, Greenland, Mexico…, Trump is a TRAITOR - impeach him now! Get him out of the White House!
This is worse than I expected and I expected it to be really bad. There is no help in Washington now it’s just we the people and we better get it done pretty damn fast or we won’t have a vote in 26.
He's been in bed with Putin since his last election and the cowardly Republican Senators are so focused on "getting the Libs" that they've failed to see that their nominees have, at one time or another,engaged in traitorous acts. We are being dismantled and served up to the highest bidder.
He's been in bed with Putin since the 80s when he borrowed money. They all have to go!!
He’s been a Russian asset since circa 1987.
Ukraine should tell Trump to shove his peace plan up his ass
I hope so too. The other countries in NATO will hopefully continue to help Ukraine
We aren't in good standing with them anymore. America is weaker than ever now. One of the most dangerous things about this whole takeover of democracy
Unbelievable
I guess that's what he traded for the release of his fellow Americans.
This makes perfect sense. I was wondering what the "yet to be released" terms of the negotiation were.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Quid pro quo.
No another Russian was released.
Let's see how Fox spins this.
I'm interested in how they'll spin it but watching Fox makes me nauseous.
Did you not see it on the news?
If only this heading could be on the front page of The NY Times
That’s exactly what happened. But it’s not only selling it. I would not be surprised if Trump does some aggressive action towards Ukraine, such as violence or sanctions against Ukraine. In fact, Putin wanted to invade Ukraine in 2020, and Trump's negotiated role then was to stop any aid for Ukraine. The 2020 pandemic and lockdowns forced Putin postpone the invasion.
Elon is in office watch his son from the mouth of babes
Where’s Iran when we need them.
He is setting up Israel to wipe out Iran
Iran isn't going to back down.
President Volodymyr Zelensky should invite Hegseth for a meeting. At the the meeting he should give Hegseth a bottle of Booze . Then say thanks a lot Dick .
He should cut all ties and find the real allies . Our old allies, who are now turning on us because of Felonious Funk
Ben, I understand your anger, frustration and pain. I hope you have some way of relaxing after dealing with the horrors that Trump and his minions are imposing on the world. I’m an Australian and if this upsets me, I can only imagine how you and your fellow Americans feel. Maybe many have just given up.
It’s been obvious he was on putins payroll since the 2016 campaign. Remember “Russia if you’re listening”? (And that was at a time when as I recall the FBI had the emails, had read them, had determined only 6 had anything to do with government and 0 of the 6 actually disclosed anything sensitive.) And many many other things m, including the simple fact that destroying democracy thr constitution and the US stature in the world was of by and for Putin. And then on Jan 30 during the despicable weaponization of the air collision that killed 67, his mention of the “Russian contingent” and his breaking his speech to add : “very very very sorry about that.” Yes, 3 very’s. He knew who was listening and he wanted to apologize so as not to mess with the weekly checks -or deposits to foreign bank accounts - for him and his family and his many enablers and fellow travelers.
During the Cold War people said “Better dead than red.“ Then the Republican Party chose the color red for itself. And now we are confronted with a terrifying world where we may think “Better dead than Red & Red.”
Are there not any Republicans who will stand up for America? This is outrageous and can only be the start of the end. America is not longer an example of Democracy, but an example of a truly compromised country.
I went to Ukraine two years ago for a medical mission. I hate this!!!
FDT!!! FDT!!! FDT!!!FDT!!! He is Hitler
A crazy man is running the country along with a venomous non-citizen. My heart hurts for Zelensky.
I’m heartbroken and angry about this sellout. Trump should be drawn and quartered. I worry for Zelenskyy. He has done a magnificent job leading and inspiring his people. I will always remember him as a hero. Tears for Ukraine.
The real problem was never trmp, but the stupid fucking morons who voted for him, or who failed to vote against him. That is the REAL problem.
European foreign ministers met in Paris on Wednesday, saying a peace deal in Ukraine would require the involvement of Kyiv and its European allies. Trump and Putin do not get to control this.
Our media monopoly did not even cover how Europe responded to this. Hegseth gave his horrendous speech and they only cover his speach. No questions from Nato. No European response. Its so aweful and evil really! Thank you Meidas Touch!
If I were zelinski I would quickly tell the world that Trump does not speak for Ukraine and the U.S. can kiss the rare earth or any other resources they want to steal goodbye.
He sure did sellout Ukraine, and every American. What a POS!
He buried his wife on a golf course. No soul . No empathy
Ego maniac loser. Do you think he cares about anyone but himself.
Let’s hope that Ukrainian intelligence organizes a “special operation” to “thank” tRump for selling them out.
This just keeps getting worse by the minute. I am so sorry to our allies that we Americans can't stop this mess. We are all victims of this horrific regime.
I literally feel sick to my stomach. Thanks for your encouragement towards the end of your post tonight. I need a strong adult beverage right now. This is dreadful!
OMG he is an idiot! Trump should have never been allowed to run for office SCOTUS is corrupt, Musk is a traitor
The Republican Party in their quest for power has sold America to Russia and China
This man is crazy he needs to be committed and fast.
Goddamnit, Ukraine was fighting for their nation’s sovereignty and this is treason from the fucker squatting in the WH who is a traitor. And the fucking GOP, McConnell et al., have all betrayed America. I feel the way I did Nov 5th when the election was called in 5 minutes, sick, numb, betrayed by everyone who didn’t do their jobs, who stayed home and didn’t vote, or stayed home when Congress was in recess and didn’t tear back to the Capitol on day one of the attack from the domestic terrorists, felon47 on down.
It's time folks, it's time.
I feel like a combination of Red Dawn and a 21st century version of 1930s Germany 😔
It’s time!
What the actual fuck!! tRump you are the most corrupt traitorous piece of shit that EVER disgraced WE, THE PEOPLES OVAL OFFICE! FUCK YOU, tRump. 🖕🖕🖕
No surprise. DJT is a dickhead
He is a traitor of the first order! I hope that some other country steps up to show this thug the door.
trump is not kissing the putin's ring - he is licking his asshole. The US "president" is the worst case of human trash.
Even the ass kissers should see this betrayal. He needs to be charged with treason.
Is anyone really surprised by this? Trump is Putin's puppet. Putin has been training him for YEARS. Putin installed him both times as president and now the goal is to utterly destroy both America and Ukraine. Trump is a TRAITOR!! Trump and Musk are committing crimes daily! Why haven't they been arrested?
All Americans should be outraged at what the orange shit gibbon is doing.
Okay, so... Canada, Mexico, Greenland (via Denmark) and Panama should start seriously arming up. National emergency style armaments. By supporting Putin, Trump is sanctioning that kind of occupation and he has identified our countries as targets.
France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, UK, Finland and others can help win this war along with Ukraine. Europe makes some great weapons and can ramp up quickly if it is prioritized. We can resist this.
US citizens could look to (the nation of) Georgia for ideas of prolonged resistance.
We are on our own now. Trump has betrayed our allies and we are no longer trusted by them. There is no going back now. Even when Trump is gone his cult will continue on.
Damn! I *knew* I should have taken Russian as my high school foreign language! Well, at least I do know a few words, like Иди на хуй, путин! As I predict, we will win the 2027 Civil War with the help of NATO, Canada and Mexico. #Resist
He's now showing us the head of the snake. To all those who voted for trump is this what you wanted? To be handed over to putin on a silver platter? This is where we are
A second Munich. Appeasement. Treason. The filthy pigs who voted for this scum and the Republican Nazis in Congress are responsible. I loathe this country. May they all suffer when he destroys everything and turns the US over to Putin. I'd leave if I could but I can't, so I'll just have to watch it burn. Where's that asteroid?
Australia 🇦🇺 must pull out of the AUKUS treaty immediately. We cannot trust the USA with our security any longer.
When are we hitting the streets? That’s what I want to know.
Visit Indivisible.org
The capitulation was apparent days ago when Putin released his American political prisoner.
Quid pro quo
Traitor!!
MAGA - Make America GHASTLY Again.
We're headed towards third world status real quick.
WTAF - he’s a traitor
Massive calls for treason…every platform…non stop!!!!!!! Get the word out
What the he** does Pete know about these countries???
This is exactly what Malofayev stated they wanted when Trump sent his “envoy” Kellogg to discuss a cease fire. They said outright they wanted Trump to get rid of Zelensky and to talk world power. And they’re getting it.
Spot on, trupnis a cear and present danger ,two our world.
Sometimes the world needs two Cleanse itself of the VILE filth that terrorizes humans kills women and children, rapes,the lands ,these are the very thing every Nation on earth is trying two fight ,
And somehow they keep on hurting and finding ways to enslave us ALL.
WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP.
It was a FURR BALL OK
🙄
We finally show the world that our government is nothing but a box of monkeys
Powerful message, Ben. Thank-you for all you do!
As a Canadian, my heartfelt condolences to the USA. in the same token you people either voted him in or you didn’t even vote (And that’s on you
NO SHOWERS.
I voted for Harris/Walz. Our country is dead unless trump dies.
What kind of mob boss/enforcer move is that to try to block Ukraine from NATO? We don't run NATO, do we?
I believe all members have to agree to accept Ukraine. If America says no, that is it. They should kick America out and vote Ukraine in! Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦
This dumb person's gonna get us into a war. He's so stupid because he's trying to be a dictator. We don't live in that type of country and he's trying to emulate
Trump et al are making America such a piece of shit country. Yay MAGA!
Thank you, BEN, for ALL THE HONEST REPORTING! I am scared for the future of America!
Whatta POS!! Whatta COWARD!! Don’t be blaming Zelenskyy!! Putin invaded Ukraine, you dumb fuck!
I saw part of the news coverage of this story. Am I surprised? No. I'm sure this was all part of Trump and Putin's plan should he win. Trump won, Ukraine suffers. Trump is a fucking bastard and Putin's bitch. End of story.
I feel like I am screaming HELP from the bottom of a very deep hole!!!
Is it just me that mentally can't stand this president and his cronies 🤔. It angers me to the core!
No, It's very sickening!!
Thank you for your angry deconstruction of the bull- we are seeing, Ben. Many of us are out in the streets protesting and canvassing while trying do our regular day jobs. Loved Leigh McGowan’s (Politics Girl) rant today. Wtf (where tf) are our former leaders — political, military, economic?!?!?! A NYT Op Ed by five former Treasury Secs is not enough. Outraged!
Valodimer Zelenskyy can ignore the orange clown and move forward with N.A.T.O membership.
There are no words 😓😓😓
Outrageous. But no surprise.
I think I blew a headgasket! Stand with Ukraine!
Disgraceful doings which make America weak agsin
Frump is a clear and present danger to the world!
I have always had a suspicion with Trump’s admiration of Putin during his first administration and have always felt that Putin fed him with grandeur ideas to control the government…Trump wants to ba a Dictator and is doing so…Why he didn’t put his hand on the Bible says it all to me that he had no intentions of upholding the Constitution and to protect from foreign or domestic enemies..He is the enemy within..
Trump is an illegitimate president and a criminal coward. Slava Ukraini!
When do we charge him with treason? When does he get impeached? I know most of the Republicans haven't grown a spine yet. Im guessing we're waiting on elections at the half way point. I dont know if I can stand this idiot and his crew for that long.
Yes, Zelensky should keep fighting! I'll send him some money!!
Tell the world we're sorry for this disaster. We all dont agree with what's happening!!
This saddens me to no end. I pray for Ukraine every day. Please, God, show mercy to Ukraine and Zelenskyy. Ukraine does not deserve this. May the world rise against Putin.
The U.S.A. is the center of THE NEW AXIS OF EVIL.
Trump is a traitor!
This is what an asshole does .. he is not the leader of the USA .. he is simply a greedy bought and paid for politician!
This one idiot is going to destroy the world
American voters brought this on themselves with extensive assistance from corporate media. We knew who trump was and elected him anyway. Totally suicidal.
USA has lost NATO and, frankly, with Trump, good riddance xx USA cannot both request NATO Article 5, only member to ever call on this strength, dominate all policy in Europe having the head of all command yet not help others. All Euro-NATO members are under threat without Ukraine's courageous, noble and essential stand against fascist terrorist take-over. Time to step the F up free humans!! thnx!!
Trump is a spineless bully who surrendered to the Taliban and caused countless deaths both Americans and Afghans and now is doing the same to Ukraine, Russia is at its weakest for decades and Trump true to form is sacrificing Ukraine to Putin. Just whe you think that Trump couldn't bring anymore shame onto the USA he does just that, sickening!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
a very sad day. We will never forgive him
I knew he would do this as soon as he got into office and he didn't disappoint. He is a Russian asset, just as his new head of intelligence services Gabbard is a Russian asset, and Putin is, from now on, privy to all the secret goings-on in our government! Trump is in awe of Putin, a dictator of a huge country, and he wants to emulate him. This is why he is using the fascist play book to completely distort and pervert the government of our country. There is much more to come....
We should as well shame all our ‘Republican’ senators and reps as they are sitting idly by letting FOTUS do whatever he wants, fiddling while America burns. They do nothing, they say nothing. They shrug their shoulders while also allowing our American be bought and traded for rubles. FOTUS is most definitely a traitor. So are the magat ‘republicans’. There is no doubt now (not that there ever was). The felon needs to be gone before any more is lost.
Bloody VERMIN..These MAGGOTS are VERMIN... This idiot is an evil, despicable, moronic, wicked, depraved, corrupt, Orange Toad!!
What a weak, weak leader. Here's your guy America. Ron F. correctly cites sarcastically, "Art of the Deal." I regret ever serving in the cold war era specifically because of this capitulator.
Make no mistake ppl we, THE PEOPLE will have to take back our country, hitler took Germany in 53 days, we have to NOW!
FYI trump, Ukraine didn't start the war!
putin owns the felon, and the rat is the cook, please God guide us!!
Good that you are fighting energetically. - It is not just in you in the USA that the damage is great from Trump and the oligarchs' rampage. Think of all the ways the course for a more peaceful world is being destroyed...
Unheard of and indecent treatment of neighboring countries like Mexico and Canada.
Crazy ideas about Greenland.
Criminal ideas about the Palestinians and the right to, among other things, Gaza and the West Bank.
Shameless treatment of Ukraine and its allies for many years in the West.
Destruction of international solidarity and the principles of peaceful coexistence that the UN has developed over the years.
There needs to be a shake-up in a society that has been able to give life to the MAGA movement and its backers!
Trump is a traitor, Russian operative, inserectionist, convicted criminal for rape, and a felon. I do NOT want such a criminal (who only loves money)💵 and can’t read, or think properly. He is amalignan narcissistic and with Elon, a criminal, law breaker, as any type of holder office.
IMPEACH Him!!🤑
This America is completely unrecognizable and I am far from feeling the pride I had. I can’t believe that I was 11 years old for OUR Bicentennial. How proud were we then? It was beautiful. Electric. 50 years later? I’m embarrassed and ashamed of 47’s behavior and his complete lack of respect for all things and beings. His disdain for our traditions. His lack of respect for our Constitution. How do you save half a country from a cult?
What are our former leaders, presidents, generals, Secretaries, senators, allies…DOING? Where is everyone with knowledge or connections that can or will actually do more than file endless lawsuits that he is expert at stalling and that he will ignore? Endless talking without action is worthless.
What will Putin do here in America and wtf is Trump going to be doing in Russia. Is it possible that Trump is trying to make America like Russia? He’s already being a dictator. We gave our country away, we can protest, that won’t work. So what can we the people do when our government has been taken over by thieves?????? Please Ben what can we do other than depend on a government who is scared of Trump?????
In a way, I think we saw this coming. Not only is Putin someone Trump can relate to, as another dictatorial person, but Trump is known for carrying a grudge. Near the beginning of both of their terms, Zelenskyy refused to cave in to Trump's demand and blackmail that he would withhold arms for Ukraine unless Zelenskyy manufactured "evidence" against Hunter Biden. We know that Trump is not a great thinker and has no grasp of history. So, he believes Russian talking points about Ukraine, the most ridiculous being that Ukraine started the war. I fully agree with Dean Bohan that Ukraine should continue its justified fight. We can all help. There are a number of Vloggers that have had campaigns to buy weapons and other aid for Ukraine: Prof. Darin Gerdes, Greg Terry, Jake Broe, Anna from Ukraine, Artur Rehi and there are probably others. They all seem very well informed sincere and honest, bringing the goods to Ukraine, not money. RFU and the Russian Dude, Operator Starsky also give facts on the ground, though I don't remember if they also have campaigns. All are on YouTube or Patreon. There is also the Ukrainian official site: United 24. So, along with NATO, we can all help. Sorry to be exploiting this platform to note these and if I get thrown out, so be it. But Ukraine is the victim, needs help, so this is a path to that.
We have to get rid of him!
I am so embracing Meidas’ collaboration with other independent media sources like Jim Acosta. In the spirit of expanding the cause have you reached out to other powerfully like minded platforms like the newly formed “The Contrarian”, or Scott at the “Dworkin Report”, or inviting guests like Heather Cox Richardson? Or Republican’s with a spine like Adam Kinzger or Liz Cheney? My fear is that all of the ‘independent media’ outlets become competitive to the point of contention, instead of cooperation: just like the major sanewashing mass media networks do instead turning to you for sanity. I welcome your feedback .
TRUMP SIGNALED TO PUTIN THAT A $50 + BILLION SELLOUT OF UKRAINE IN A PRESS STATEMENT THAT THATS WHAT HE WAS GOING TO GET FROM UKRAINE TO CARRY ON SUPPORTING THEM JAKE BROW MENTIONED THE COST IN A VIDEO HE DID A FEW DAYS AGO AND I PICKED UP ON IT
I watch Jake, too. At least the latest 1M fundraiser goal is already reached!
Another good YouTube group I follow is Greg Terry Experience. He often has the best news on Ukraine first. He checks his facts well.
Ukraine should be in NATO. Trump is disgusting. He and Musk are killing people as we speak through starvation and lack of medical assistance. So lives being lost don't bother him. I believe other nations in NATO are already stepping in. So I think Ukraine will be fine.
Now we need to lookout for him giving Taiwan to China.
What was the purpose of Trump's SUPER Secret meetings with Putin? The writing is now on the wall. Traitor Trump !!
No wonder putin didn't want to end the war with Biden.
Why does rump have so much say in this? Why not the European countries?
Fuck this sick bastard. Fuck this evil psychopath! I HATE this fucking TRAITOR!! F.U.C.K. HIM!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
He's a traitor. Hope they all stand trial one day for all the crimes they're commiting.
There is little more to say: Trump is committing treason and destroying not only our democracy but that of the entire “free world” and abandoning a sovereign state that was attacked by an aggressor. His capitulation to Dictator Putin is unforgivable—his undercutting NATO is preposterous as well as irresponsible. He is totally destroying the fundamental processes and mechanisms of democracy while catering to the vile forces of megalomaniacal authoritarianism. Putin, Orban, Kim Jung Un, … those are Trumps allies. He’s shitting America down the toilet in cahoots with America’s own oligarchs and “true believer” Christian Nationlust.
An absolutely disgusting moment. Ever.
Ben, I hear the rage in your voice, and rightfully so, and WE ARE ALL AS ENRAGED AS YOU ARE. 😡😡. We have your back!!
The more he talks does stupider, he sounds.
This is SO disgusting and sad. Hopefully NATO will help him. Trump is such an F’n PIG!
This is SO SCARY and so treasonous! I’m flabbergasted but not too surprised because Trump and his goons are evil fascists. We must fight them!!
Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard are traitors to this country. They have been embedded into our government by Putin. We are now at higher risk for attack than we have ever been. I am sure that there are more Putin plants in our government. Musk is another one. Ukraine has been hung out to dry. trump is going to steal their minerals, calling it payback for the aid that we gave them to fight Russia. I am ashamed to be an American!
Zelensky and the Ukrainians who support him should sell Ukraine to Canada and the other democratic countries that helped him. Even if the agreement is set to be revised in 4 years. Here's hoping the Liberals and Mark Carney are elected.
We knew this traitor fuck would do this but No Fucking one is gonna do anything I fucking hate this traitor government we are trapped by
Thank you Ben for calling out the total disgrace this man and his voters are!!!
No decisions about Ukraine without Ukraine.
I know, like how freaking debasing can you be? The way he treats people like they are nothing...is unbelievable. It's the worst thing about him. Who does he think he is?
Please don’t forget it was not only those who VOTED for the orange menace. How about all those who just didn’t vote at all?
I just mentioned that Trump, while siding with Putin over the Ukrainian conflict, could be emboldening Putin to take over even more territories. I’m worried about Alaska. It’s geographically close and has vast resources. Now that Trump has insulted and tariffed our allies we will find ourselves hard pressed to defend ourselves and may not be able to rely on NATO. Canada is angry, Mexico is angry and nations are allying with Brics and the EU has plenty to be upset about. Trump will have our troops scattered to Panama, the boarder, Gaza, Greenland, etc. Do you get my point? TERRIFYING!!!
Trump is the Ugliest and Despicable Person on this Planet. I hate that man. He is a sick deranged Twisted Man. You threw America under the Bus
We will Fight like hell!🇺🇸
I feel sick. 🤢
Send Trump to Siberia
Send him to hell!
Another day, another bucket full of outrages. Nobody being arrested for breaking our laws.
DJT DOES NOTHING BUT LIE EVERYTIME HE SPEAKS.
DJT is an asshole. Putins puppet.
So, what now, Trump Tower Moscow?
Trump has been rejected by Putin for YEARS blocking Trumps dream for Moscow Trump Tower!! Remember he held a beauty pageant in Russia years ago? Hence the ‘Pee Tape’ Kompromat!
Yes
This makes me sick, literally sick to my stomach. Does no one else see this?? Can Trump be stopped from this? I’m trying so hard to stop reacting to everything this idiot does bc I agree with Ben this is all just distraction, but I’m so sick of him, and it’s only just starting
He doesn't care about people.
Not surprised. Knew that was going to happen. Vicious pig idjt
Trader. 🤦🏽 It's getting real yall!
Trump is a Russian puppet. Has been for years.
Republicans need to be replaced for letting this happen. Elon and Trump needa to go to prison and JD sent back to his state or prison they are all Traitors.
OMG! I can not believe the things this man is doing. I keep remembering what Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation said last year: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” I guess this applies not just to the US. How can people believe all these LIES?!
I just can't understand why tRump can get away with this unlawful behavior. There has to be a way to immediately unseat a danger to the entire free world. There has to be a loophole somewhere to protect our country. He and his cronies should be dragged out of office and jailed before he destroys the entire world. He's certifiable crazy! There has to be a way to remove a king before it's too late. Back in the middle ages he would be sent to the tower, charged with treason and heads would roll, literally. We sit and wait and he ignores court orders. No one is above the law, or so I was taught.
💯
And Gabbard! I can't believe the traitorous Republicans. Actually, I can't believe any of it. That some mush-brained psychopath can dismantle the U.S. in less than three weeks is only possible because of his enablers who either are egomaniacs who want more power of money or mealy-mouthed sycophants who are too cowardly to stand up. And where are the Democrats -- they don't make nearly enough noise.
I don't doubt a word of this. It's positively chilling! I feel so sorry for brave Ukraine. I'm Canadian, and we're next on the hit list! ❤️🇨🇦
Just boycott everything made in the USA. Help crush the economy.
I think it's time NATO kicked US out. Obviously not going to be much use and keeps threatening to invade its own allies. Not only is the buffoon and his goons making a mockery of US, they are making a mockery of NATO as well.
NO! That’s what drumpf wants! He’s a moron! We need NATO!!! Especially now
Aside from having the security from other countries NATO brings in US defense contracts. As usual DumDum can damage parts of the economy . But then he can always ask congress for more money once US is on its own and has started world wars on multiple fronts. Stable genius DumDum seems to be good at creating lose-lose situations.
Then it is high time to sue him for Treason, as Treasonous acts never fall within the boundaries of Article II powers of the Executive.
I had hoped maybe he'd leave Ukraine alone since we don't actually have boots on the ground. There is just no bottom.
Great job, Ben. Thank you. You said everything that needed to be said for all of us who believe in what America was destined to stand for. We are appalled and you answered perfectly.
KAMALA HARRIS WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! She Just predicted Donald Trump’s Stands on Ukraine
