A truly unnecessary destruction of so many lives. We, the US, should be ashamed for the behavior of the “president” and his “administration”. No people, and no country, deserve this treatment. It is long past time for his enablers to stand up to this daily tyranny. He is not a dictator, nor a king, despite what he thinks. But until and unless henis stopped, that is exactly what he is.

David, new subscriber here.

Tremendous essay you posted. Thank you!!

Spot on in each point. Sharing this with people that I know who voted for Trump and are devastated (why are you surprised? He told us this!!) at all the news coming out of Munich & Mar-a-Lago.

Can you link to author of the essay? I would also like to follow him. I am a Ukrainian American here so I can read in Ukrainian.

Slava Ukraiini!

Heroyam Slava!

I just want to know how we can financially help Ukraine fund the equipment they need. Is there a trusted group that I can donate to? I am disgusted by this president and his "transactional minions" his elected representatives, and the wealthy child that threatens anyone with his money.

There’s an excellent perspective of Ukraine in an interview with Oleksandra Matviichuk on Ukraine Today podcast from The Telegraph https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ukraine-the-latest/id1612424182?i=1000693081117

It starts at 41:27–56:45. The insights at 38:25 are also enlightening. The podcast, in general, is excellent and a reference point for many experts.

Believe me, there are many Americans who abhor Donald Trump and the fascism of the Republican Party. We stand in unity with Ukraine and all of Europe. We hate what America has become under this tyrant. It breaks my heart that the whole world hates America. We are all not hateful people. I would fight against my own country for you.

It's overwhelming to say the least. It is a Coup. What will Americans do to save not only our Democracy but with our Allies. I am not feeling well today so my brain is scrambled.

I’m pissed that I have to pay taxes to this regime. Every American who is disgusted by this callous and cruel “government” should not be paying their salaries. Where’s that cut trumplicans?

Federal workers, if you see a pile of DOGE shit, call MAGA. They want to take him back to the capitol. He’s got a lot of splaining to do. DOGE wants to take the new Air Force One to last red hat rally in Red Square?? No invitation??

They know their king is dead. They know Don is gone.

A roll call vote is held to select an officer to stop the motherf&)$ing one way cargo planes to Russia and hold new elections.
