Thank You, David, for speaking out on behalf of Ukraine, this morning ☕ I'm sick over the language used by Vance, trump and, well, pretty much this whole administration with regards Putin and trump, trump and Putin etc. Where's the backlash?why isn't this the Top News story? I can't imagine what the people of Ukraine are thinking right now, and the World 🌎 Outstanding article and will reStack ASAP 🙏🇺🇦
I have been urging the same thing on various Substacks. Watched Susan Rice on The Contrarian. Great. But I wrote that we need her plus 250 of her fellow, former leaders from the political, military, economic and social spheres to speak out en masse.
Hear! Hear! A lot of people, myself included, are wondering where the hell did ALL but the very worst of our “leaders” go! Are they all dumb enough to think they’ll escape this mump madness unscathed?
It’s maddening. And we need the journalists in areas that are owned by Sinclair to write stories on what is going on. I randomly check the headlines of Sinclair news sites and it’s like we are in a different world. I understand they might not have the deep pockets to put their jobs on the line. But we need bravery from every one.
Senator Portman was disappointing in his near 0 opposition to Trump's immorality and criminality, which can only be described on a scale from lukewarm to nonexistent. He has been (at least publicly) oblivious to reality that the head of his party is a narcissistic sociopath and pathological liar. But as a legislator, he was way above average in his intellect and understanding of various issues, and represented Ohio with honest experience that is greatly lacking in the two we have in the Senate now.
I certainly cannot comprehend why he is not speaking out now, but I hope he will feel compelled to do so before it's too late for Ukraine, which frankly could be tomorrow, if it wasn't yesterday!
I called Portman Photo Op Rob. We would post photos of visits to businesses, etc. But we would never do real town halls and listen to his constituents.
Brilliant, David, as usual. Even if any of them spoke up individually it would be helpful. Together would be much better, as they might have enough social media followers in total to get some traction there (because those who should hear them probably aren't reading normal newspapers or watching the PBS News Hour). And it's especially annoying that the people who should be speaking out here apparently are not even considering running for office, so what are they afraid of?
They were at the DNC convebtion and at rallies. The important question is where were the 46% nonvoters in 2016 and the 33% nonvoters in 2024. They were a significant factor in both election's result. Are they still hiding? Do they regret their inaction when it would have made all the difference we needed?

On his best day ever (which I can't remember) Rob Portman was an empty suit with full pockets.

Absolutely, David. I know it’s a five-alarm fire when you use the F-bomb.

Yes I want to see this everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
I agree! Where is Obama? Where are the Clintons? I sure hope they’re all somewhere conferring about how they’re going to save our country?

Hard to “like” all this but there isn’t another symbol to thank you for sharing this important and devastating information.
So true. We need all of the help we can get if it’s not too late
It seems for some that yes, the autocracy has arrived:

Portman is a coward, gaslighting us all that there is nothing to see with Trump.
And where is Bush 43!
