What a strange, upside world where we root for foreign leaders to shame our president and we know he deserves it.

He absolutely deserves this treatment. I’m glad they are serving it up.

I’m surprised they would allow two Nancy Bs. Sometimes I think, did I post that.

Actually, the worse Trump is treated by leaders around the world who are simply shunning him and saying "No." to him strengthens our cause for it weakens the Regime of Trump. I'm cheering all of them on and admire them for the example they set.

A bully cannot be dealt with other than compliance at a great cost to you, or resistance. Trump is hearing "No." over and over again within this country and outside the country. He is now weakened and primed for what we can do with our power united protesting peacefully; no less than 3.5% or ten million -- which means everyone here and everyone we must recruit to be there -- at all upcoming nationwide protests starting with MAY DAY on 5/1/25.

Once he falls we can re-join our allies within NATO to help Ukraine and enjoin Ukraine as a partner in NATO; and then Putin who was on his knees when Trump was elected can be finally dealt with and all the other autocrats and dictators will be put on notice and their treatment of their people will be addressed and challenged.

And our work helping the vulnerable across the globe can be revisited whether we are the leader of those nations or just a partner. It is in our DNA to help and welcome the afflicted and vulnerable and to deny that inclination is foreign to all of us for it is good and worthy.

Then a new world order of democracy for the people and by the people can be nourished and grow around the globe -- we can attend to climate change in partnership with those nations -- and poverty -- and education -- and free trade -- and in the too few short years we as adults have on this planet set the stage for our children to take it from there.

The leaders and nations across the globe are shunning and weakening Trump who is a clear and present danger to every soul on the planet. They are NOT shunning the American people and in fact admire and support us and rooting for us to prevail in our current crisis. I know on Substack and BlueSky there is consistent show of support for you and me and we the people of America. In fact, when we protest, they protest in support for us in support of us.

The world is watching us "we the people" and rooting for us, and we can only respond by pouring into the streets -- we need ten million -- five million showed on 4/5 -- it will take all of us recruiting and talking up and educating others on why we need ten million and how we have power if we just engage united aware of the mandate to employ the "3.5% SOLUTION" for it is our only hope. Spread the word and take care.

The President of France was shaming a man who should not be the President, but he would shake the hand of any one of us for we the people are admired, loved and supported around the globe. We earned that respect as did our parents and grandparents who came before us. You cannot fake being who we are as Americans. People around the globe are coming out and protesting in concert with our concerts. Today I received a link to music from a Canadian who asked I pass it along to give courage to all of us with the directive bring Trump down.

The world is looking to us the people in concert with their unification and work at spurning and in turn weakening Trump's standing and power to weaken him. This is not a pity party this is a part of resistance and strength and conviction demonstrated by we the people and the leaders and people of nations around the globe.

We will and must do our part. The only way and only role we have is to protest and activism. We need to get to it and post haste employ the tenets as spelled out in the "3.5% SOLUTION" which is to show up at every nationwide protest in numbers so great peacefully representing at minimum 3.5% of our population. That's ten million.

We it five million without blinking on 4/5. We can do ten million. We can do 15 million. Of course, everyone here is active protesting and engaged in activism. We are the leaders in this movement. We are informed. We are united. But, to hit ten million we now need to go outside our comfort zone and recruit heavily as if the lives of our children depended upon it.

I find when I mention I'm going to a protest in a group already identified by me as fed up with Trump; I'm asked where and when. Then there are words of "fear" and "counsel" telling me to be "safe". They don't know I'm fearless and would die to turn this crisis around. Certainly not afraid. But from there I thank them for their suggestions and take note and pause and then tell them we can beat Trump. It's proven an autocrat will fall if 3.5% of the population present in peaceful protest. I share it is proven and referred to as the "3.5% SOLUTION" a fascinating and easy google.

I tell them we hit five million people on 4/5! But we need ten million. Then I just let it lie there and wait. Then one or two start asking how do you find where to protest, and I offer some help. I have already given them hope. I don't follow up. The seed has been planted. That is recruitment. That's one way it is done. We need to recruit, recruit, recruit. Plant the seed.

I’d love to know what Putin has hanging over the heads of these repubs. Lisa Murkowski is scared - of what?

Whatever “it” is needs to be out in the open. American voters need to know why their reps have abandoned their oath to uphold the Constitution, and why they’re not representing their constituents.

They're terrified of two things:

2. MAGAnuts attacking their families.

Yes, I felt satisfaction seeing his humiliation. Especially after reading that he denied allowing President Biden a ride on Air Force One to go to Pope Francis's funeral.....every day is filled with something rotten because of him. Trumpkopf is a good moniker too. 👍

Sad that world leaders are trying to protect American Democracy when our " leaders" are more interested in making money off of insider trading and stealing money from the middle/ lower class Americans . Executive orders are a joke! Mr Cheeto has to have them read to him😓 before he puts his flamboyant signature on them!!! Then all that happens is that lawyers make money while most of us lose medical benefits ,our dignity and our rights being peeled away with each degree!

No one deserves insults more than this narcissist who has insulted all of our allies, his former staff who acknowledge his failures and incompetence, our judges, and anyone who disagrees with him. We know his propaganda media is focusing on how rude Macron was, when this felon has childish nicknames for Republicans, Democrats, and independents who dare to question his stupid decisions. Good for President Macron and Slava Ukraine!
