Trump and Vance really put the tyrant in tantrum, didn’t they? Pathetic. Weak, cowardly, sniveling little bullies is all that they are.
I understand that I’m just one person who voted against all of this. I understand that this is just my blog. I understand that when the history of this is written, I will not even be a footnote.
But it is still important to me to go on the public record: The way Trump and Vance treated the President of Ukraine was despicable. It was a betrayal of an ally that is fighting for its very existence. As an American, I am disgusted with the rulers of my country. I am disgusted with their supporters, who ought to be ashamed of themselves.
To the people of Ukraine, I am so sorry. 75 million of us did everything we could to stop this. but there is a white supremacist cancer in America’s blood, and the 2024 election confirmed that it has metastasized. For what it’s worth, I stand with you, as I stand against the tyrants who disrespected your president yesterday.

No world peace, I guess
Thank you, Wil! We’re being governed (if you can call it that) by a narcissistic sociopath who admires communist killers & his big-mouthed, brainless, butt-kissing toadies. God help us all.
YES
You wrote precisely how so many of us feel.

I don’t recall seeing Mr. tough guy and his lackey ever berating the person who actually started the war in Ukraine. In fact it has been quite the opposite with copious ball cupping and fawning going on from the dumbass towards puke-tin.
I see your words. I share your sentiment. Use your platform, man.
Screw the sniveling bullies (figuratively). Give people who are listening the data they need to change their behaviors, and help others to change their behaviors.
I stand with Ukraine. Trump, Vance, Musk, their cronies, and anyone who supports them can all go take a very, very long walk out an airlock.
Perfectly stated.
I agree 100%
With you on this, and Ukraine.
Sometimes footnotes are the ones who carry history on their backs. I for one would be proud to be a footnote, or even an echo of a footnote.
I agree with your statements, and I too stand ashamed of what happened yesterday.
We are all with Ukraine 🇺🇦
Always so good to know that someone I enjoy the work of can also have my respect. Thank you Wil.
So well stated. I stand with Ukraine as well.
Will, thank you….we are all deeply ashamed and embarrassed, and i think most of us have the blip and footnote feeling, and feeling so damn powerless. I can only remind myself that when all of the blips and footnotes are illustrated in the history books, it is a beautiful, colorful, diverse, POWERFUL collection that ultimately made the world a better place. All of the major changes in this world in the name of civil rights and basic human decency came from grassroots collective momentum. Love you!
Thank you for articulating so clearly what I’m feeling now.
Thank you, your voice is important
History is repeating itself.
A totalitarian, socio-political ideological Leader followed mindlessly by those brainwashed into thinking he’s doing things for them.
World leaders arguing over the invasion of a smaller country.
Remember the United States that did things because they were the right thing to do? Now we don’t do anything unless there is something in it for us (our oligarchs). I don’t know who we are anymore.
Trump in 1939: “I’m not aligned with Hitler I’m not aligned with anybody. I’m aligned with the United States of America. And for the good of the world” I wonder how that would have panned out?????? While Europe burned and Hitler took over more and more countries would Trump have stood by and do nothing? you bet he would…not America’s problem, America first etc…he would have criticised those who stood up to the Nazi’s: “you’re a brave people but…..”. He would have made economic trade deals with the Nazis left right and centre….taken over (invaded) Canada to strengthen America’s position…
I truly fear that History is repeating itself…
I stand with Ukraine. I’m deeply embarrassed by the administration of the US.
Thank you for expressing my own thoughts so well. The cruelty is unbearable.
Thank you for this, Wil. Hardly thought the world could feel any colder, then watched that bullying yesterday.
He was invited to my country today by our Prime Minister. He has received the welcome and respect he deserves here tonight. I still can’t get over what happened yesterday in America. Disgraceful. I grieve with you all over there for what is happening to your country.
To quote one of my favorite 80s movies: “I weep for the future.”
I rage donated to United24 and encourage others to do the same
What a disgrace and black moment in American history. Thank you for so eloquently voicing truth.
Truer words were never spoken.
Thank you for having the courage of your convictions and posting this on your blog. It matters.
My thoughts were similar: do they have no shame? Where were Vance’s parents?
They are, quite simply, horrible people.
You couldn’t have said it better. We’re America. We’re on the side of democracies, not baby-killing parasites like Russia.
Well said Wil! And if there is any doubt about it, many people outside the USA, myself included, also gasped in horror at the premeditated sub-Jerry Springer shit show. The fact so many seem to be thinking this was A GOOD THING, OUR GUY SHOWED EM WHO’S BOSS etc just makes me weep for humanity. Been thinking about this all day.
I was so sad for the Ukrainian people! It was horrific to watch! As a citizen of the independent and proud country of Canada, I long for the day that Trump gets what he deserves. Thank God that there are many Americans who ready to stand up to this stupidity and arrogance!
Couldn’t have said it better. It reminded me of the schoolyard bully and his lackey picking on the lonely kid, mainly because I was that lonely kid.
I may steal that logo however, since I’m still on the ‘Book (for family and a few hobby groups) You can pick your friends. Family on the other hand… 🤦
Someone said Vance had “big Grover Dill energy”, which, yeah.
Thank you, Wil. For stating out loud what so many of us are feeling. Slava Ukraini
Trump and Vance are evil. Their shameful behavior has defaced our country with a fascist stain that will be hard to remove. Thanks for using you public platform to counter them with truth. (And I must say, I love my “Stand By Me” DVD and am currently reading and enjoying “Still Just a Geek.” Keep sharing your talents.)
Thank you for this.
Well said sir!
Heroyam Slava! I couldn’t agree more.
100% with you. I voted for her.
Thank you! I couldn’t have said it any better.
I feel
I’m an American living in Canada (my husband is Canadian) . I voted for Kamala and Walz and I’m deeply ashamed at what we got instead.
I feel embarassed as an American by this whole mess. Ukraine is fighting for their lives and freedom and that was just unacceptable. I voted for real leadership, not this shit show we have going on now.
Two thumbs up, Wil.
I too stand with Ukraine
It was grotesque. I agree 100% Wil.
Well said. Thank you for sharing this. I don’t feel quite so alone in my sorrow.
Well said. The cancer analogy is perfect. I am ashamed and embarrassed as well. The frustrating part of all this is that, aside from supporting the resistance, we can’t really do much of anything about it. But we all stand strong for those who cannot.
I feel the same. I like your analogy.
I am so ashamed to be an American right now. Thank you for giving voice to what many of us are feeling.
