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.

Thank you for putting my feelings into words. I am stuck in Flori-duh so have been living the trial run of this idiocracy for way too long. It’s exhausting
Yes. I agree. I am so ashamed and embarrassed to call myself an American citizen. President Zelensky handled the situation with a far better level of grace and decorum than I would have (but then again I am American and thus prone to rude, uncivilized statements and actions). I hope President Z and his fellow Ukrainians fully understand that not all Americans are as unfeeling and rude as the behavior of these so called leaders (by the slimmest margins in American history) have displayed.
Excellent words, Wil. Beyond my initial shock and disgust, I thought of my father, who escaped from the Nazis in Vienna….Trump would have been an ally of the Nazis instead, and that is frightening. We’ll, he still is, and that is still frightening.
Well said. It was a deplorable thing to watch. They bullied him, spoke the same kinds of words that abusers do to their victims. Their behaviour was a disgrace.
Hear, hear. The so-called leaders of this country are, dare I say it, traitors not only to the country but to the ideals of democracy itself. It feels like they are doing everything in their power to destroy everything that actually made America great (in service of Putin? Probably)… I’m so ashamed to be American these days.
For people who want to DO something, here is one suggestion. It’s a way to send money directly in support of Ukraine. Everyone is strapped for cash right now and not everyone can pitch in, but if my tax dollars won’t go to help, I can give some money that will. https://u24.gov.ua
Agreed, and well said.
Everything you said. 100%
Well said Wil!
Amen!
Will, I stand with you and with the Ukraine. Our entire government is so corrupt and cowardly at this time. So many people agree that what Trump is doing is wrong, but those in power are not standing up to him, and it feels like there is nothing much is little people can do. So thanks for making me not feel so alone.
This, YES!
(I was thinking that if I put a flag-thing on my car, it should be Ukraine.)
Well Said
I have never been so ashamed to be an American. I hope the world knows that this regime and its sycophants do not represent all Americans.
Well said. And thanks for your words, as it gives me hope that not all is lost as long as there are still people out there that think like that.
Absolutely! I can’t help but think of Picard saying, “The line must be drawn HERE!” Of course, that’s popped into my head multiple times since Orange @sshat announced his first campaign. :/
