🧵1. Hey JD,you going to thank Norway for their “support”? And DonOLD—maybe Putin can fill the gap?

Let’s be clear: You Trump, promised to end the war on Day 1, yet Friday’s staged spectacle confirmed what we all knew—you’re with Russia, and now you don’t even have to pretend. It’s out in the open.

Yes - Yes! I just don’t understand. They are ALL complicit IMO. If you aren’t screaming, having daily pressers, going into communities and having town halls, speaking at protests, even creating a tour-like campaign, SOMETHING…ANYTHING…then you are part of the problem.
And where are the Dems: Why are Presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden not screaming from the rooftops about pivot to Putin? Why are Schumer and Senate Dems not screaming from the rooftops? Why is Gov Newsom not screaming from the rooftop? Where are the voices of opposition to this criminal policy?

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

Sorry, but anyone from the GOP who comes out to criticize what happened yesterday in the Oval, and doesn’t say his name, is no different. Disagreeing only counts if you #BlameTrump in public.

The way Trump and Vance treated Zelensky just now was single most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. It was like watching Hitler and Goebbels berate a client leader. This country should feel bottomless well of shame for today. And, GOP, where are you as country's leaders shed all values?

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

It’s despicable!

February 2, 2025 at 5:58 AM
That’s bullshit! I did all those things and I still want to know where our leadership is? What are they doing? Where is the call to action? It’s going to take all of us. We need leaders.
We're in this nightmare because too many folks on our side spent 2024 lazily yelling "oh no we're doomed" instead of doing some goddamn phone banking.

Now these same folks, who cost the Democrats all their power, want to whine about the Democrats not stopping Trump?

These are not serious people.
February 2, 2025 at 5:45 AM
This coming from our neighbor, not the AMERICAN democratic leadership. Where are the press conferences from our dem Leaders? Where are the calls to protest? Where is the organization? Please! We need someone to step up and call for action!
Did not realize this address from Trudeau was going to be aimed at us

I am a die hard Democrat Liberal but I am in complete disbelief at the lack of leadership, backbone, and planning. We all knew what was coming. Where the hell are you people? Where’s the leadership? Stop emailing for donations, stop posting how horrific it is and DO SOMETHING! Show us the way!
February 2, 2025 at 4:30 AM
Yup!
Oh, yes, that whole thing about voting for Trump because you wanted lower prices at the grocery stores. I guess, with this idiot tariff policy, that goal has been placed on indefinite hold. Ah well, again, the moral of the story is stupid is as stupid does.
