To publicly bully and humiliate a man fighting for the life of his country is despicable in the extreme (especially when you are supposed to be on the side of democracy). This show will only play well with the most die-hard of Trump’s cult members. History is watching, and will lump Trump and Vance in with the bad guys.

Especially given the US persuaded Ukraine to give its nukes back to Russia by guaranteeing its borders. Now that push comes to shove Trump is thrusting his fat, greasy palm out and demanding he be paid off.

That was a cowardly ambush by two bullies, on their home turf, attacking one man in a weakened position, who also had to fight back in his second language, something Trump certainly couldn't do. Whatever your politics, that was beyond shameful and embarrassing.

These aren't real Republicans in office. The real ones are in shock...writing articles for the Atlantic and probably wondering how the hell they lost control of their party so easily.

Trump doesn't give a shit about America. Trump cares about Trump and ONLY Trump. America's military policy for generations has been to confront those who are certain to be their enemies far from their shores before they can get too close. In the case of the Soviets, it was to confront them wherever they sought power, to prevent them from getting more powerful. Too powerful. A secondary objective of American power is to protect America's access to raw resources it needs to power industry. They're in the process of losing most of that now. China and Russia own much of Africa now, and China is making deep inroads into South America. They will have priority for resources. A third purpose is to protect allies who can be useful in offsetting the power of powers hostile to the US, and provide markets for American goods. Trump is in the process of throwing all of that away and reducing America's power and influence to just its own borders.

He sided with Russia at the UN in 2 separate votes this past week, dummy.

Are you suggesting Zelensky is 'woke' because he stood up to Russia? The MAGA base can suck a bag of dicks. They're ignorant yokels who worship a man with less morality than a pimp, less maturity than a four-year-old, and less intelligence than the pig Trump resembles.

Suuuuuuure it was. All those murdered protestors are just "crisis actors" too? Ukrainians wanted to be free. They rejected Putin's proxy. So other democratic people cheer for such change? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean they caused it.

indeed, I had no idea who Pat King was and that he was involved in the Convoy at all I didn't even support the Convoy until the Liberals went into totalitarian dictatorship mode in the face of it

NOTHING has befouled "our cherished Oval Office" like the presence of the man who currently occupies it. Zelensky could have spat on the floor and still lost that race. The embarrassment is only beginning.

There's no spin. What I described is exactly what happened. A democratic country asked the international community for aid as they fell under the attack of a acquisitive dictator. And the democratic world responded. Nobody asked Ukraine to fight a war. They could have --and can still -- quit any time they've decided it's not worth it. But a people who have living memory of what it's like to live under an oppressive regime don't take freedom for granted in the way that's now very trendy in conservative circles. The Republicans haven't suddenly become pacifists holding every life dear. They simply aren't invested in democracy anymore.

It should be bizarre. We used to have values, like actual ideological values to which the parties aligned. Now the republicans are realigned not by value, but by style of government. They've simply come to believe that autocrats and oligarchs are the best way to get what they want and that pesky democracy can be dispensed with.

They've made America the enemy. I mean, Trump and Vance have effectively aligned America with the same axis North Korea is with. We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States. America First always meant America Alone, a predatory America whose role in the world is no longer based on democratic belief. America voted at the United Nations earlier this week against Ukraine, siding with Russia and China against almost all its fellow democracies. Is this who Americans want to be? For this is what America is being turned into. David Frum https://archive.ph/X2oCM#selection-839.0-843.325 ...a Shining Beacon if there ever was one...

I think the time has come to say, do what you are going to do Donald and we will deal with it. We're done playing this game. The US has the largest prison population on the planet yet half of them think they have to be armed to feel safe.

Marvie. Enjoy 2 extra years in diapers.

I have to agree with Radiorum on this one. Trump may have shared this. It may be trolling. But to me this is disgusting even as a joke. To even joke about making a gold statue of yourself in the promised land is sacrilege.

Liberals are professional liars and they can never be trusted with anything they say. The CBC should be abolished along with the liberal party. Those two only exist to keep the lies flowing and keep the theft going of taxpayer's tax dollars and incompetence alive. Carney is just another WEF globalist shill who says or does what Klaus or Fink tells him to say. Canada is being held prisoner by the WEF globalists thanks in part to our dear political leaders. This is why we must get the conservative party to win the next election. Otherwise, it will be the WEF globalist woke and broke agenda for Canada if any of those liberal buffoons running for the liberal leadership. We only have one shot left to save Canada from the WEF. Just saying.

And how many resources did they steal? Every Republican and virtually every Democrat were in favour of invading Iraq. If Frum's words were that influential Trump would be in prison now, where he belongs.

The most disgusting, unethical, immoral US President to ever take office berates someone doing his best to defend their country from invasion with bean counting financial logic. Even using the opportunity to berate Biden for supporting them while continuing the lie that only the USA prevented a total Russian takeover. Bullying, interrupting, refusing to listen the typical abhorrent Trump standard on full display. F*ck him. That's "Making America great again"? If Zelenaky had spat in Trump's face, told him to f*ck off and walked out the Actual Free World would've stood up and cheered. A goddam administration with the whole Glorius F*cking Almighty Yanks propaganda shoved so far up their ass they can't even think straight. France is offering Europe it's nuclear umbrella, Britain must do the same. America is OVER for at least the next four years. Watch for Europe to send advisors and troops and risk a larger confllct while the USA, as usual, sits with it's thumbs up it's arse fretting about $$$ until it's forced to step in. Storm the Capitol over bullshit claiims of election fraud and do nothing as this dimwit shames your country to the entire world? Not the America I was raised to believe in. Putin is laughing while Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan turn in their graves.

Zelensky Walked Into a Trap Donald Trump and J. D. Vanceappear to have entered today’s Oval Office meeting with the goal of generating a pretext for a diplomatic break with Ukraine. By Jonathan Chait Of the many bizarre and uncomfortable moments during today’s Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump, J. D. Vance, and Volodymyr Zelensky—during which Trump finally shattered the American alliance with Ukraine—one was particularly revealing: What, a reporter asked, would happen if the cease-fire Trump is trying to negotiate were to be violated by Russia? “What if anything? What if a bomb drops on your head right now?” Trump spat back, as if Russia violating a neighbor’s sovereignty were the wildest and most unlikely possibility, rather than a frequently recurring event. ….He was not explaining why a deal with Russia would advance America’s interests, or why honoring it would advance Russia’s. He was defending Russia’s integrity by vouching for Putin’s character. … Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break. Why should anyone have expected anything different? Trump has been regurgitating Russian propaganda, not only regarding Ukraine, since before Zelensky even assumed office. He defended Russia’s seizure of Crimea in 2018 (the year preceding Zelensky’s election), has repeatedly refused to acknowledge Russian guilt for various murders, and has even stuck to Russian talking points on such idiosyncratic topics as the Soviets’ supposedly defensive rationale for invading Afghanistan in 1979 and their fear that an “aggressive” Montenegro would attack Russia, dragging NATO into war. In the past few weeks, Trump has made very little effort to conceal his pro-Russian tilt. He called Zelensky a dictator, and when asked if he would say the same about Putin, refused, insisting, “I don’t use those words lightly.” (No president in American history has used words more lightly than Trump.) He said Ukraine “may be Russian someday” and blamed Ukraine for starting the war. The U.S. even joined Russia, North Korea, and a tiny bloc of Russian allies to vote against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. …Even today, Trump’s bullying commenced well before Zelensky had opened his mouth. Trump greeted his counterpart on the White House driveway with condescending mockery, pointing at him and tellingonlookers, “He’s all dressed up today,” like Bill Batts in Goodfellas belittling Joe Pesci’s character. (“Hey, Tommy, all dressed up!”) Zelensky’s attire—the Ukrainian president wears military attire, not a suit, to remind the world that his country is at war—has been a fixation on the right, and conservatives have seized upon it as a pretext to blame him for Trump’s anger. Oddly, they did not seem to mind that Elon Musk showed up at the White House this week in a T-shirt and baseball cap. …. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/02/zelensky-trump-putin-ukraine/681883/

Russia is a FASCIST DICTATORSHIP and Putin is the world's biggest KLEPTOCRAT. Nothing legitimate about any of it. 🤮 Nothing but ^BULLSHIT from an asshat. You SAID you don't even like Russia so you've bet on the wrong horse, too.

Zelenskyy was elected in their DEMOCRATIC PROCESS after Yanukovych was IMPEACHED by unanimous vote and FLED TO MOSCOW..

I did? You must be getting the squeaks mixed up. Try some Sea Foam Deep Creep.

ha ha ha ha ha ! you and what army ? you fat blue haired trannies couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper bag it's actually the populist right imposing the regime change upon you go woke, go broke ; you were warned

Nonsense. True in 1970. not true today Today thanks to the internet they have access to all the programming and every single thing that some kid living in the city would want. And the north has been polling conservative for ages now, odd considering the conservatives are talking about ditching it. If you wanted to keep the cbc you should have cleaned it up years ago and made it an honest impartial organization that fairly represented all canadians, not just the federal liberals.

at the end of the day, the MAGA base does not want to fight Russia for Ukraine and views Zelesnky as a bad actor essentially, Ukraine became the cause celebre of the international Woke Progressive left now Ukraine is simply caught in the inevitable Go Woke Go Broke effect therein

A lot of Canadians fell for 'sunny ways!'. Were you one of them?

Just further evidence Trump is a child and NOT a serious person, let alone a leader.

The head coach of Canada’s national soccer team is an American. Here’s what he said at the Concacaf Nations League Finals event in California when reporters asked about Trump’s 51st state comments

I almost pity you...almost.

A vote for carney is saying to them, we like what you did in the last 10 yrs, continue doing it. Carney is going to have the same people in the cabinets. So Canadians should just forget all the ethic violations by this Gov.? We look the other way on all the lucrative contracts given to friends of the liberal party? And losing control of the migration file while being warned by everybody? This will all come again once the election starts. Carney had no idea of the fire storm heading his way. He's no longer is the posh, safe banking world anymore. The political arena is a whole new animal. Going to be interesting.

The top 1% in the US already has 16 times more wealth than the bottom 50%. By the time Trump and Musk finish it will be 25 times.

1. Prove that point, and no, it doesn't. 2. I disagree with affirmative action at all levels. The country doesn't need it. 3. You've got it ass backwards. No wonder you woketards lost the election. lol

What's angry about telling the truth, eyeball? What should I call CBC? "A little bit dishonest"? It's garbage, dude. They shouldn't be lying, period. They lie to make conservatives look bad, they lie to make the Liberals look ok, and you sit there saying: "Why do you care if the CBC lies"? Well, a healthy, functioning media is a key component of a real democracy. CBC is telling you who to vote for, and you're just listening intently. "It's a trillion times easier to fool a leftie than to prove to them that they've been fooled."

Because 4/5 of them are overweight and why rock the boat?

It actually makes sense when you are rich, because your wealth is due in no small part to the advantages of living in this country.

LOL holy triggered batman!!! Calm your commie ass down before you have an annurism!!! And if i'm on ignore how did you see me? I'm not convinced you understand what 'ignore' is

It's proven 100% that CBC lied or didn't report what Conservatives said about Carney? It's right in their headline. How the LPOC/CBC editorial board managed to let that one get past them is the better question don't you think? I guess that explains why CBC put it in the headline.

Oh yes. It's very important all those people step down, seniors to forego their medical care, and the military to be slashed to the bone so that those funds can be given to the wealthy donor class in the form of tax cuts that will funnel most of the $4.5 trillion in intended cuts into their Swiss bank accounts. Yay. Own the libs. Woo.

I have to ask you though. Don't you think that it is wrong to share a video like this? I realize Trump did not create it. But still. I remember your John Rich post. Maybe Trump is just joking, but doesn't even the idea of joking about putting up a golden idol on that land seem reminiscent of something? If it is merely a troll, it is still wrong. Trump is not above reproach.

Navalny never incited a war. Calling for justice does not incite a war. Let's be clear. Putin is the warmonger. Putin invaded a sovereign country. Putin poisoned, imprisoned and murdered someone who dared to oppose him.

This isn't like the Biden administration where flag burning homosexuals are calling the shots. Trump is in full control. In fact, This is the best presidency/cabinet in God knows how long.

Looks like I'm in a super majority: Do you have anything to support that lie?

OMG, the cuts Musk is making are barely making a dent in the total federal spending. But they will severely impact lives. Meanwhile, Trump's tax cuts will cost $4 TRILLION dollars over the next decade. You support that?? Where is your head at?

I don't care about democracy because unelected beaurocrats are getting cut and saving my grandchildren from crippling debt?

What specific “soft on crime” policies are you referring to and what proof do you have that they are the cause? In the USA they have harsh punishment and yet still have high crime.

1. I was speaking generally. Some discussions don't require experts, I agree. But if someone tries to enter a political discussion with a statement of "nonbinary people don't exist" ... is that policy or is it science they're talking about ? I'm not sure. Either way I don't have to engage... I don't ever have to engage, for that matter. 2. Analogies are tricky but I'll play... So, yes, the mask issue was politics, supply, and science. I suppose it's the same with transgender issues, you're right. For my part we're still in a meta-discussion here but maybe give a more specific example and I'll tell you how I would approach it from both science and politics. 3. I think the thing I can't get my head around is you saying that making a statement on physics vs social issues is analogous ? 4. But policy depends on medical, economic, climate experts because people don't understand these issues at all without them. 5. But how did it start ? It started with people who wanted to live in another gender. That's been in the public eye for decades. Eventually more people did this, and people started making a case (pushing, if you insist) for accommodating them. Right ? 6. Ok - but as we see, they didn't invent the idea - it came from the community. Now, I'm still trying to break down what "pushing" means. If people are telling them that they want this is it "pushing" the idea ? Maybe it is. And for full disclosure, some of those points you listed are fine by me and fine by people I know also. 7. Ok, so let's say "it" is happening. Medical cases are misdiagnosed, people regret their changes... That alone doesn't justify ceasing any medical help to people who justify as transgender. 8. Neither does yours. You don't have to agree to clarifying language, so I would have to ask you "what age" every time you use the term "child". Because medical care can and should differentiate between 17 year olds and 3 year olds. 9. There's a concept of 'mature minor' in Canada, not sure if they have it in the USA. They try to assess how much the under-18-person should be able to say about their own healthcare. I think that's a good idea.

Paying for every meal in packed Canadian restaurant, U.S. couple apologizes for Trump politics Applause, cheers as American couple picks up the tab for entire Windsor, Ont., restaurant The lunch rush at local restaurant Toast took an unexpected turn after a couple of visiting diners from nearby Ann Arbor, Mich., paid for the meals of every table in the packed restaurant. Behind the gesture of kindness? Their love for Canada, supporting local and sadness about the current state of the U.S.-Canada relationship. Diners in a Windsor, Ont., restaurant were stunned and elated over the weekend when an American couple picked up the bill for the packed establishment — citing U.S. President Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric and their love of Canada. … Hermiz said the woman told patrons "she hates what the United States is doing to us and she doesn't support it. And she's so happy we won the hockey game and it's a little token of appreciation for Canadians and how much she loves us and how much she loves supporting local." "Everyone cheered them on again," Hermiz said. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/american-apology-meal-pays-canada-diner-1.7467020

3 months house arrest when the crown pushed 10 years is basically nothing. Just Trudeau saving face for implementation of the illegal emergencies act. And gave the propagandist press a talking point about how evil people who opposed the shuttering of their businesses and coerced medical experiments were.
