SMH Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

Our country is being run by traitors and con men. We need Nuremberg style trials after they are out of power.

Edit: This is my first comment to blow up this hard. Thanks all for the awards!

The US are a joke. When it was about overthrowing a Democrat government with the benediction of Trump, a few thousand people almost succeeded. Now for a fascist government people are spineless.

Your president breaks laws every day without any check and balances. He betrays every alliance concluded with foreign countries when he's not being openly hostile towards them.

You had the Epstein files that in a normal democracy would have been enough to impeach your president. It never happened.

The orange turd will get away with it and all of his billionaires friends and family members too. Unless a real popular and democratic uprising happens justice will never be served.

Surprised no American's have spoken out yet about how difficult it is for them to protest because they've allowed themselves to get screwed over by both parties for decades. They can't seem to put it together that people in Europe are starting a revolution for much less with similar consequences for protesting. Revolution is not without consequences.
Before anyone jumps, I don't condone any of the looting or destruction happening in Europe.

As a French protestor it pisses me off that the right wing propaganda uses the incidents (looting/degradation of a few shops) to overshadow the legitimacy of the peaceful protesters that outnumber by far the few rioters.

As a Brit, I totally understand. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if the violence was committed by any, other than those who support chaos. They’re all masked up, with little exception, and went there to do a job. And it wasn’t to peacefully protest

The right wing media has been focusing on the relatively small incidents at any protest in the US for decades and claiming it is the whole thing. That is probably why so few people protest here.

They did a similar thing with the Tea Party stuff from a little more than a decade ago, those protests were tiny, but they said it meant there is a huge movement behind it.

Bruh, you have freedom of speech, right to protest, still have some semblance of rule of law. Never mind the 2nd amendment, the graceful amendment Americans won't stop raving about. In what reality are you screwed? I beg Americans to stop acting so helpless.

We tried in Minneapolis. I like to think we succeeded, but it was a small, isolated victory. The administration just slithered onto another ghoulish project

Is that American technology in your pocket right now? Any apps from america? What about this website you're on, at this very moment?

Imagine this info in the hands of people known to black bag people, and you live in their back yard.

I'm not American I'm just commenting based on what they say every time this is brought up. "Won't someone think of our capitalism?!"
Everything you say is absolutely on point.

There's been millions of people protesting in America since at least 2020. In cities all across the country. It just turns out that we're way more geographically distributed and the media isn't showing you what's happening. A protest literally just went by my place the other day that was at least 10,000 people strong.

There is only one thing worse than Trump and thats the American people standing idle making excuses to avoid taking action.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

The consequences for protesting are not even remotely similar. I've watched the protests in France. They're being combated by unarmed police officers with Shields and batons. They literally fucking shot us here in the US with real bullets. They've used LRAD on us. It ain't the same.

This is the downfall of America due to complacency and the weakness of people like you.
