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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Expand full comment

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.

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

"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?

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.
